210bhp 172

JJ172 · Feb 3, 2004

Developed, tested and ready to fit - a kit for the 172 that will give you a guaranteed 210bhp for around £1500+VAT, fitted. Its not throttle bodies and is in fact very discreet (no loud exhausts, etc.)...

One lucky Cup owner has had this kit fitted, and hopefully mines next in line in a months time.....I can hardly wait!!

Not a super LAD conversion is it?

Type_Mo · Feb 3, 2004

Will it give Roamer a run for his money ???

Lee · Feb 3, 2004

Is that all you are going to say about it? Info come on?

Would a 190ish hp Cup not be as fast as Roamers 172?

Tell us more you tease !!!!

McBunny · Feb 3, 2004

right cup 144 max roamers missile well im not saying but bye bye v6

JJ172 · Feb 3, 2004

Glad to have generated some interest!

Hats off to Roamer for his awesome TB conversion which, I believe, has not been without its teething problems.

This kit offers an alternative, and stealthier, route to more power whilst retaining a factory feel - i.e. smooth idle, etc. I hope to have it fitted to my car in the next 4-6 weeks and then bring it along to the RenaultSport track day.

Joethrelk · Feb 3, 2004

You cant tease us with that and then not tell more..

Roamer · Feb 3, 2004

JJ, you always do this, come on lad, just say whats been done - whats to hide?

(Oh and I get a nice idle btw)

Will take something incredible to beat the noise yours makes Romer especially at high revs.

I think Renault should have made TB an option after hearing your car.

How bad is the fuel economy with all that power if you dont mind me asking?

JJ172 · Feb 3, 2004

*LOL @ Roamer*

As Ive said, the kit is designed to be more discreet at a mere glance under the bonnet - always handy ;-)

Ill have more details very soon - patience is a virtue, or so they say (not that I have any as Im itching to get the kit fitted and need to save the necessary ££££s).

Roamer · Feb 3, 2004

hehehehe fuel economy..... well.... I was gettin 27mpg today, and that was a mix of steady motorway driving and a few thrashes (oh and a erm......... *RUN*

)

McBunny · Feb 3, 2004

wasnt a run lol

did you check with the air trafic control first lol

unofficialPete · Feb 3, 2004

Nitrous? cant see it giviing a smooth idle and factory feel though!

orlandopaulo · Feb 3, 2004

come on.... tell us....

Mike@Rentech · Feb 3, 2004

Dont be shy..I wana know

Now Now Neil

Im sorry I got carried away on the Cup band wagon

BenR · Feb 4, 2004

why hide it.....its not about to be anything mind blowing......

chris172 · Feb 4, 2004

If its "stealth" then probably cams and head work.

think were in LAD territory again... surely not able to gain 30+ bhp

Just tell us and and then we can all make more positive posts.

tonykart · Feb 4, 2004

drop a turbo, G-charger or NOS on the 172 and you have 210 Bhp for 1500 quid....but still Im very interested what will be different than whats done to mine ?!?!

Not quite, but not so far off...

McBunny · Feb 4, 2004

there is a huge difference between then lol trust me

Turkish · Feb 4, 2004

plus the fact that roamer has no interior no spare and has replaced the std seats with buckets so probably weighs the same if not less than a cup anyway

McBunny · Feb 4, 2004

well the new seats are 9kg each standards are atleast 4x the weight

Tom · Feb 4, 2004

36kg per seat?

thats 54kg saved just fitting those alone.

plus all the other gubbins and the 212bhp...

PMSL! Rich the guy has 212hp + and no interior.

The Cup driver is down 20 hp, and has no weight advantage. A wider set of wheels wont help the Cup driver.

McBunny · Feb 4, 2004

hehe dunno how much the standards weigh really but you gotta thing they arnt small leather airbags explosives lots of pading and a huge steel frame

when he wakes up im sure he will tell us how much they weigh

Didnt realise he had stripped it bare!!!

McBunny · Feb 4, 2004

well its not bare bare

Roamer · Feb 4, 2004

LoL, hiya guys, well, Ive just unscientifically weighed one of my old seats (The calibrated scales I normally use are locked away in my mates house lol), and were lookin around 26kgs each for those.

Its stripped by another 46kgs (IIRC) including the back seats, parcel shelf, spare wheel and tool kit, then youve gotta look at all the bits that aint there under the bonnet any more.... thats roughly 12kgs replaced with approx half that.

Roamer · Feb 4, 2004

Oh, and dogmaul, when I rang you yesterday the car actually had the spare wheel, toolkit, and fred in the car

extra extra weight that wouldve slowed me down lol

Lee · Feb 4, 2004

That Fred is just so dam fat.

Have you got the exhaust sorted yet Roamer?

Roamer · Feb 4, 2004

Yup, its now got a (Fingers crossed) non blowing non weld-splitting 4" slashcut, sounds really nice and does the job
