Clio 197 decat and remap results?

[keljon]

Anyone on here got a dyno run after decatting (both or just the main one) and remapping their 197, seems this is likely the only thing worth doing to a 197

Decat on the standard exhaust is plenty, remap with smooth everything out and make it run really nice. Panel air filter will be good too

 

[keljon]

A panel air filter won't gain power though, I want to see proof of gains with a decat, I have a wideband to fit and can self map

I can't see a decat increasing power so you would notice TBH.

​Might free up the revs but a noticeable power increase, nope.

 

[keljon]

That's why I have asked for a dyno plot, surely someone has done it, on modern mass produced cars, the cats are usually restrictive and probably the only mod worth doing, although matched inlets might be worthwhile

I'd be putting my money into an RS tuner map, not spending £300 on a propper custom one to give to 2bhp.

I can map myself so I will most probably buy the rs tuner kit along with the software so I can edit the maps

That's what I've done, coupled with a panel filter. Goes well for what it is IMO, improved cold behaviour no end too

So not much peak gain but more torque in the middle I'm guessing so drives better? Yeah the cold start map is terrible, thought my car was broken first time it did it
