worthwhile Mods???

[craig griffin]

hi all

just got my self a sport cup 200 - i was wondering what mods are worth doing. im not expecting massive gains but just some mods that are going to get me closer to the 200hp renault "claimed"?

would a decat, cat back exhaust (ktec for example) ktec pannel filter and remap be worth it? what would we see from all that? 10Brake?

thank guys

cams
filter
ported throttle body (people use 182 tbs)
exhaust
decat (this will give a flat spot which is tricky to map out)
remap

people have seen 215bhp from these mods

thanks - these little NA engines are going to expensve to tune.... i have heard about this flat spot and sounds a nightmare. may juts go with what i said but without the decat?

real world figures of 200-205 though

yeah. f4rs are s**t for getting power out of without forced induction.

really fred? where did the claimed extra 10bhp come from? strong engines or other mods?

 

[Fred@BTM]

its a chassis dyno, always take with a pinch of salt what a print out says

well im guessing that renault has tuned this engin to its limits almost, with doing big work you wont bsee much difference. heard people saying the re map helps alot with increaing the torqe lower down?

 

[Fred@BTM]

considering what i do for a living i would suggest spending your money elsewhere - ie brakes/suspension/driving tuition - worth more than 20bhp all day long

thanks mate, isnt the brakes and sus pretty good on the new cup 200's? is the likes of strut braces avalible for them?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah they are good (i was talking generally) think Danny does some funky strut bars, go and do some track days and have fun with it!
