What sort of power/torque figures would be achievable with a remap of a pretty standard 197 set up.
No engine mods, induction kit and miltek cat back

About 200bhp. Not sure on torque.

That's standard power so why remap it then apart from changing the power curve

They never make 200bhp. More like around 185-190bhp. My previous Clio (197) made 197bhp after a remap at RS Tuning.

Point taken suppose it's the marketing blurb with numbers any idea how much they lose through the transmission it's wheel power that I am interested in trying to guesstimate potential power to weight to look at potential for racing mine next year with no serious power mods.
Would need a minimum of 135 BHP per tonne but Power is wheel horse power and weight is car plus driver plus fuel.

My ex silver 197 gave 185bhp , 100% standard.
My ex 200 gordini with only akrapovic evo exhaust gave 199.9bhp in same dyno.

That was what I meant. Usual for a car to be below the quoted power so with a few supporting mods and a remap 200bhp is realistic. Most people just remap to smooth out the flat spot.

Will speak to Duncan have known him for years. Would also be interested to know if there are any Renault specific specialists.

Don't know of any Renault specialist in Scotland with rolling roads. I know Dunc is big in the Jap scene.

I have used Duncan's rollers a few times when my race Impreza was getting mapped.

You also don't need a rolling road the car is far better being live mapped on the road.

Andy mapped the Impreza for years but unlikely he will map the Clio.

If I could get 180/ 182 bhp at the wheels that would just about work for rhe lowest power class.
