Engine mapped today... 241bhp

[cliokongen]

Finally - after a year without the car I had it fixed and remapped.

During a trip to Nürburgring and Spa last year the car acted very strange.
I made it home though. I have tried half-hearted to fix it during the past year - with no succes.
So without knowing what was actually wrong with the car I had a few things to change on the car. Exchanged my Cat 225's for 213's - new 480cc Megane injectors and new lifters.
Been ready for months but had no money, time and found other priorities.

Now that the new track day season has started i felt it was time to get it fixed. Today was the day.... Fix the bugs and get that Orange mapped!

The throttle pot had 3 dead spots - making the throttle response very strange..... Changed for a new one. I can only recommend to always have one in spare if using the Colvern type from Jenvey... They suck!

Next up was the crank shaft sensor. Car would turn over but run very lumpy and strange. New one fitted - suddenly the car would idle again.
I can only recommend to always have one in spare - they obviously stop working....

End result:
241hp @ 7537rpm
243nm @ 6261rpm
Rev limit 8000rpm

21bhp more than last and a shed load of torque more....! Nice! :D

I can't wait to drive it!!!!!
But whay didn't I drive it?
The battery did not survice a year without conditioning - my bad!.
We had to charge it during the day. At the end we noticed a hissing sound and a rather unpleasant smell. The battery was about to blow! Most probably a cell had collapsed resulting in immense heat build up.

Great work! Too bad I was one month early!

[Coops]

:D

got to be highest RR power n/a F7 powered clio i know of hope it drives as sexy as it sounds mr michael

[sideways danny]

Spec please. I'm very cynical

[Coops]

tbh its got to be possible, the white one back in the day ran a 107 terminal, thats got to be good for 240bhp compared to the 221 it supposedly put out??? i think a lot of RR under state the bhp compared to pod terminals.

Impressive result.

For such a light car I am surprised that you have not had the scuttle spoiler thing made from carbonfibre instead of what looks like a heavy length of 4 by 2?

mehdi's white one? That did 196bhp. It was a standard bottom end

Getting past ~220 is roughly where you have to start adding 50% to your build cost

[snowman]

Didnt Cliiolords make 240 on certain rollers

[sideways danny]

248 IIRC

222 on SRR

[Coops]

i thought mehdi's did over 200 when both craig and martin had it, that was the thing with it, standard b/e but knocked out over 200bhp

this was back in the day though when the nana was reputed to be knockin out 198 on standard inlet!
