WELCOME MATT!

TO START WITH THE POWER FIGURE YOU ARE QUOTING IS PERFECTLY NORMAL. IT IS VERY RARE FOR A 182 TO MAKE ANYWHERE NEAR THE QUOTED BHP FIGURE.

IS THE RS TUNER REMAP A NEW ADDITION (THAT MAY HAVE SMOOTHED OUT THE 5K "KICK" SOMEWHAT?) OR HAS IT BEEN THERE SINCE YOU PURCHASED THE CAR?

LOUD NOISES! :rasp:

VVT comes in at about 1800 rpm, so there will be VVT, you just don't notice it.

I'd suggest taking the car to someone reliable to get the timing checked.

I'd also suggest you stop using the Caps lock button because its really fcuking annoying.

you got a sliver 182 and the dyno chap said your brake light switch was faulty and that was your lack of power.

Even as I was reading in my head I was shouting it... Needs punctuation and less capitals. Welcome to CS though.

Clio's dont have VTEC, they have VVT.

So there shouldn't be a "kick", especially if it's been toyed with already

from the mods youve state, i wouldnt be expecting any massive power gains,

getting it plugged into diagnostics should throw up some faults as to what the issue might be if its sensor based.

otherwise take it to a specialist and have them look it over!
