V6 on RR

on a mk1 i doubt it.
Should be the same as this http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ReturnPage=Thread&ForumID=6&TopicID=107064&PagePosition=0&ThreadPage=1link with the Induction kit of 221bhp and 231bhp after the Chip. But all Rolling roads are a bit different as we know, and weather temps etc etc.

Why is it 221bhp with the induction kit? I thought that V6s were 230bhp standard (I know they can come out of the factory slightly under/over, but I didnt think by this much?)....or are you quoting at the flywheel??
*confused*
Hi,
im close to buying a mk1 V6 & intended getting an induction kit & ss exhaust (k-Tech?), im surprised that people are guessing low power figures, why is that? are induction kits not very efficient? Ive been advised that a good kit, will let the engine breathe easier & give a bit more at the top of the rev range. Ive read in the forum that K-Tech are quoting 16bhp for their exhaust, has anyone/does anyone know, someone with this system? is it any good?
V6 Clio
Assuming 15% transmission losses which is fairly well accepted for 2wd you should expect about 195bhp at the wheels to give 230bhp at the fly. All results Ive seen so far for the V6, including mine, show a little below that figure, though as has been mentoined different dynos will give give slightly different readings. Id expect to see anywhere between 180-200 at the wheels.
Figures for Mike Ts supercharged V6 should available in January and will be posted as soon as available................................might get some video too.

The standard exhaust does appear to be the weak point power-wise. +16 bhp is quite realistic.
Hypathetical question, if i went for an exhaust & remap, what would i get, would an induction kit improves things then?

If you have £2,500 to spend, send a PM to BenR and hell do a proper job including the things you mention, and probably get you an extra 40bhp.
well after watching a few cossies and alot of rovers at Engine Advantages i finally got my go.
my flywheel result was:
225.2 bhp @ 6192 Rpm
205.1 lb ft 5004 rpm
comments were made by many that as my car is low mileage (7100 miles) is is still abit tight and will gain power once it loosens up, but i expect no more than a few BHP if that.
is my torque figure low or what?
at the wheels i had 163 bhp.
im overall quiet happy with the result, not entirely sure if anyone has hit 230 bhp standard?

Id be upset if I got those figures, especially with the induction kit. Fair point about the low mileage, and maybe running in the car over a long period of time isnt ideal. The torque figure is quite a lot down from what Renault quote - do Renault have a clause in the warranty to say it doesnt have to reach peak power? Otherwise, cant we take our V6s to them and demand they perform like theyre supposed to?

What do they use to get air into the Vee on the RR? On a front-engined car they put a great big fan in front of the engine - did they do anything similar on your air intakes?
im sure they will be along to provide their valuble comments.
it may be thgat the rollers were just not accurate. the guy was playing with a knob on the machine for every car, not sure what it was though.
i did think it was a little low in torque and wheel HP. V6ing had an RR at superchips, would like to here what torque he made as his mods were similar at the time i think.
telford_mike - they had the fan at the front, to keep the rad cool, so the intake didnt get any air force at all, possilby the reason for a lower output?
