197 on rr?

[carina]

Anyone with a 197 had it rolling roaded (cheers S77CCP )? What was the readings? I'm having mine run this saturday so interested to see what others have been getting.

 

[S77CCP]

you mean 'rolling roaded' rather than 'rolled into a field'

 

[LegoHead]

where you getting it done?

 

[S77CCP]

Go see Rick Wood

Torque Developments, behind Ikea Lakeside.

Was going to say that, some haven't been making stock power. although you may be one of the lucky ones.

touche ....cant remember what figures exactly but the 197 graphs shown at RS tuning were ...... wow low ish

ask p murray to show you a RR result

 

[S77CCP]

Wasn't there something in EVO about a french 197 making 165 or something like that?

But don't all clios have that problem? As standard of course, no mods.

I know not to expect too much though!!!! Bf getting his 225 rr too - last time he had it done, it was giving out 232 as standard, he's had a hayward and scott exhaust fitted since, so be interesting if that makes much of a difference.

 

[kully]

not sure but the RR i saw it made 178

Can't be as bad, as someone on meganesport had a 225 and it read 172!!!!

 

[carina]

not sure but the RR i saw it made 178

So whats the average for a 172 and 182?

 

[Tom_E]

its hit and miss with renault iam afraid!

you might be a lucky one though.

 

[makavelli]

im sure ive seen a few peeps on one of te forums commenting that their 197 was pretty underpowered as well, was around 180ish iirc

 

[cat171]

How much to they charge ??
I've never heard of them before & Lakeside's not that far from me.

 

[kully]

tbh ....... you never can get true readings from rolling roads

172 run around 165ish i believe and 182 run 175ish

In fairness No, many 172's (mine included) made over the book power (pre mods) when it was tested. Many 182 also struggle to make book power in the the same way some may exceed book power too. The same can be said of the 197, out of interest how many miles has yours done now? Bearing in mind the engines only really get going after 10-25K.

Low 160s for a 172 on Dyno Dynamics dynoo

Its £95 for an hour, but they said to have one reading done £40. Not the best price i don't think, but its about 5 mins from me.

If you drive past with ikea on ya left and B&Q on ya right, theres a mini roundabout at the end of the road, go right, then first left - theres a few units, then its next door to Bad Boys Toys.

Cups make their power as a rule, no power sapping aircon etc. most R/R threads seem to back this up

Less than 2000 only had it two months.

 

[kully]

majority of RR you're looking at around 30/40 quid a run , but some as cheap 25 quid that i can remember .

 

[S77CCP]

then expect a low reading, then go back at 10k and see whats what.

 

[carina]

tbh ....... you never can get true readings from rolling roads

Torque developments use those ones that bolt on to the wheels, so hopefully be a bit more accurate.... but all will be seen on saturday i guess!!!

If its real down, ill blame it on the machinery

Yeah good idea, going to see what they can offer performance wise too as thats what they specialise in. They have their own diablo in the show room too!!!

If its really down, i'd be on the blower to Renault mentioning trade discriptions act

 

[Craig]

lol^

 

[S77CCP]

If its really down, i'd be on the blower to Renault mentioning trade discriptions act

and full refund.

Damn right hehehe

Seems a lot of cash for an hour tbh, it's Big Boys toys by the way (I assume you mean the vw place)

 

[Gaz_]

Its a bloody shame as i think the 197 look awesome! Thats why i'm 90% leaning to the dark side at the mo. They tend to make their power, and bolt on mods give proven good HP gains

The 197 is bloody awesome!!! hehehe. I love it and the other half has a meggy 225 so its not like im comparing it to a fiesta hahaha (thats what i had previously )

Well my 182 went on a Dyno Dynamics RR when it was at about 16k, and got 163 I think...

Wanna try it again now its a bit looser!

this is from renaulstsport.co.uk, topic by phill bennet

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica] As promised...

Took my 197 to WRC so we could get some power figures off my car. I understand that a rolling road will create a separate debate but its not going to be a million miles away, so...

The 197 makes 160bhp at the wheels which is then reckoned to be around 193 at the flywheel.

My car has 12K miles under it and runs on standard 95RON fuel.

So it would seem that Renault's figure of 197 is there or thereabouts...


[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]So it's about 13 bhp at the flywheel then the 182...i think!
