What BHP does a Clio RS 200 typically have?

[Kazumz]

I've done a little research, but I'm looking to see truthful figures.

My car is on 12,000 miles which I pick up tomorrow at 12:00.

How much BHP do these cars usually make? 185-195? Does my car need to be broken in more or should I just take it to a Dyno when I save a couple of quid? I know they don't make the quoted 200.

180 + is deemed to be about the norm.

It's 200ps iirc, so about 185bhp.

I'm sure there's a proper conversion ratio online somewhere.

In that case I'd be happy to receive 185. Not bad at all.

My 200 did a RR at 184.6BHP.

2 others got within 2hp of my (one higher and one lower)

To be fair I think that's more than enough for me. I'll be sure to let everyone know when I get another itch though LOL. Where was it DYNO'ed?

Markcup had he's dyno'd from pretty much new and made 185 then just drove it for a year with the odd track day and it made 190+ IIRC.

180-187 from what I've seen.

go to ktec or anywhere with a supaflow dyno and it'll make 200 though

So many factors. If it's well run in and has lost that tightness most modern engines suffer from when new, has just been serviced and is running on good fuel who knows. Be prepared to be shot down in a Sun sized ball of flame if it makes good power though. It's why I won't dyno mine no-one believes the results unless they're low. I know mine goes well. Logging Interval times in both directions many times and then averaging them doesn't lie.

Unfortunately I'll have the car tomorrow and I'm really hoping the black box doesn't come yet so I can give it some good punch. I'll have three months before I can give it welly.

I can't argue with others comments regarding track days. One track day in my Cup and it had developed a nice growl under load and felt so much happier on the drive home. Same with the 182 before it. Enjoy the engine when the time comes I haven't seen a Smokey Sport yet despite all the knackered old 172's round by me. I'm sure they do exist but only due to servicing neglect or removing the rev limiter and being a bit silly.
