What to expect from these mods....



  Clio 172
Hi

What would you expect to see from:

Panel filter
Matched inlet
Port/polished head
428 Cat Cams
Decat Performance Exhaust
Remap

This is on a 172.

Maybe someone has similar mods so can comment on driveability too?

Thanks

Tom

S77CCP got 195bhp and 160lbs/ft with his GDI conversion. I'd rather have higher torque.
 
190bhp 180lb torque lowest
I wouldn't expect any where near that much torque. I'd say if the works all done right then a bit over 200hp the biggest issue will be you'll be pushing the injectors to 100% as there onyl rated officialy to 208hp.

Yeh but the GDi 1500quid doesn't include port/polished head or decat which should give it a little bit more? Especially if I get live remap from RSTuning.

LOL What naievity.Head work and de-cats will get next to nothing. The only way to get meaningful torque is to screw on four big gobblers to the front of your mill. Either that or a turbo.

naievity lol.

I'm having my engine rebuilt so the head work is costing next to nothing so might as well get it done.

Of course Decat makes a difference (have you even cut one open?!), and seeing as I got one for £60 was well worth it!

Yes I know TB's or Turbo get more torque, but I want to keep my engine as standard and reliable as possible which I think the listed mods give a good compromise of.
 
Just rememeber the smoother and free-flowing the engine is the less torquey it will be as a result.

Torque increase the more the engine has to work to move the parts around and rev, light and lithe engines that flow freely have as much torque as a mute lol.

Good question. Hopefully bodies and cams will give me what I desire.

If not I'll sell up and get a V8.

Sounds a little vague that does!

I mean, if the parts were all seized up and not flowing properly you'd be losing power? You want the engine to not be overcoming it's own issues!

I know what you're saying, a light quick reving engine isn't producing as much torque (think motor bike / F1) but ported / polished isn't going to reduce torque because the gas flows better!

The 182 is not exactly torqueless, and it can be made better.

From what I've seen of Jesus and Yoz's TB'd beasts, there isn't an NA mk2 that would get any where near them! They're monsters! lol

tbh the quickest car I've come up against that hasn't been quicker is Chris n nic's 172 Cup, that was a close do, was only higher speeds that I pulled away. I've picked up 25bhp @ the wheels since though lol

Hold up a minute, Jon. Chris's cup don't have bodies, how can it be as nearly as powerful as yours?

Chris' car runs 14.1's before it was stripped, it's always been a quickun. I had a sensor fault too, which lost me 25bhp @ the wheels which didn't help either lol

haha I'll come see that!

LOL Me to, The Jesus can stay at my gaff as I'm just up the road from Ali.

Bet the wee matine idol would'nt be up for it though. lol

I'd be up for that. To me it really is a foregone conclusion. 151mph on GPS going up hill with a passenger and revs to go...

Will have to be quick though, my car's got it bags packed to goto GDI for cambelt and some other "s**t" ;)
