Whos got the most bhp on this site

Fred is supposed to be getting about 220hp from his new engine no idea how its progressing though.

Theres was a mexican (I think) owner who has the kit K-Tec are selling who had ~260hp.

Im sure there was an owner on here from Wales a while back who was having this Clio engine turboed to some massive number (400?) and had loads of work done to it there were a load of exterier pictures of it as far as I remember no idea who though.

Err well mines probably something around 240-250bhp, a bit of a remapping session and some bigger injectors and a 3 bar MAP sensor and Im aiming for 300bhp drag spec this summer. Mine probably has the most bhp/ton that I know of, but there are a few dark horses out there who run turbo Clios as well, so as I dont know their spec or weight I cant say.

If Mike is running around 370 bhp then he obviously claims the throne if its sticking strictly to the question. Wonder what it quarter miles in though?

IMHO nitrous can be counted. At the end of the day its just a mod to get more oxygen into the engine and hence burn more fuel in each cycle...exactly the same as any other engine mod. I used to run nitrous over the quarter mile and its just another way to put some decent times in. You cant deny that it makes more power because it does. And to build, install, maintain and regularly RUN a high powered nitrous system (I was running 50-100 jets on a progressive system) is not a piece of piss if you want to keep your engine running safely. So unless youre talking about a 25hp simple wet system or something along those lines, using nitrous is if anything a lot more hardcore and valid than other ways of making power.

Not that I use it any more, I blew up my engine with nitrous, but Im just saying that until youve put in and run a nitrous system yourself on your own Clio, dont dismiss it as a cheat if all youve seen is the Fast and The Furious :D

It was a normal little 1.2 Clio, same shape as a mk1 172, but has now been stripped out and had a written off Cup transplanted into it, with a little bit of tuning and NOS, so is rapid!

yeeees, that was me. Well, its my dads car really but meh :/

Unfortunatly it decided to blow itself up after 3 events. We think that number 3 piston was starved of oil (last to be fed)... basically, big end bolt went, conrod puched two perfect holes in either side of the block, crank with lots of big gouges in it etc etc. The head was ok though (except for one of the titanium valves was slightly bent), so the head is now on a different block and it seems to be working ok. The only problem is that now it sounds like a clio instead of a motorbike. Guess thats because the crank is heavier.

Hmm ;)

Noticed this has been discussed, but he asked who has the most BHP, not whos got the fastest clio

The highest BHP figure.

However i aggre with nickyB & Snoozer, Nos produces BHP, regardless of whether its constant or not its still BHP.

Same issue could be argued with how much boost people run on a track run/daily basis in turboed cars.

So are we talking the max BHP someones car can produce? or are you going to ask "how much bhp can your car produce for more than 5mins"?

Nos is vaild imo

Nope dont mind :D

Its geared for a low top speed.... i think it would probably only get to 120. In 6th gear 60mph is at 4000rpm, and it should pull to 8k no problem.

In that vid I dont think it ever really went much above 5000rpm..... when it gets up to 7-8k then it really starts screaming.
