The main increase in power is down the the Remaped ECU and VVT.
I am sure that the change in the Inlet has helped a little, as will the Exhaust manifold, but most of it has been done through the ECU.
Just think all the money to purchase the 197 you could save the money, get a set of cams, matched inlet, decat, and a remap and be pushing around the same figure, if not a little more.

Yeah I remember speaking to some other tuners and they say that a mirror finish is never the best way forward. Its ideal to have a bit of texture inside to create turbulence or like a swirl flow into the inlet. Does this just apply for the combustion chamber or will it make a big difference to the actual inlet manifold as well.
Another point, how come they dont manufacture the inlet manifold in one part?

^^^ must give it the extra bhp, lol.
The main reason im asking is that, people on here say it is very hard to get a real 200 bhp without using cams, standalone etc. So has the 197 had cam profile changes etc to get this extra power? Or is it just items that some of us 1*2 owners are having done, ie inlet match and remaps etc.

Thats an easy way to more power. However a bigish redesign like this whilst costing more is handy as if Vauhall etc launch a 210hp hot hatch to compete Renault can easily stick some cams in the 197 and be equal in the HP stakes in reasonably quick time. Trying to get a camed 182 engine to make 210hp would take a bit more money.theduckeatspork said:
Also Renault have used there new 6 speed gearbox which necessitated a different block so the old engine bottom end counldn't be used. The cost of a new top end as such isn't that much relitivly plus people think of the car as a whole new car not just a Mk3 shell with a last generation cammed engine

I am new to renaults but all rover did to turn the vvc engine from 143bhp to 160bhp was skim the head to up compression used tricut valves and remapped ecu and a 3mm larger throttle body.
Remapping makes a hugh differnce, cheap after market kits should be about soon, £500 spent with superchips just gave my work mates gof gti a extra 50 bhp from the original 200.

from what i've learnt of the stock ecu, it has its limitations in terms of resolution, leading to an ignition insensitive engine and high amounts of interpolation. It has alot of 'controls' but the actual map isnt as sophisticated as i would of likes. However the newer ecu might be better, and is probably the reason why cup racers run a much stronger torque curve with the magneti marelli system.

The only major difference is the flux capacator, wait till that baby hits 88!!
