I would say a Peugeot Gti6 (167)/ Renault clio williams (180bhp)would be up there for a cec

But any of the newish sports bike lumps are going to beat that hands down.

Whats it got to pull around ?

3SGE? SR20DE? they would def. be up there. Actually the mazda KF 2l aluminium V6 cranks out a whole lot of torque and will rev it's nuts off, would need a custom bellhousing for a rwd box though 160 hp 180 N·m (133 lb·ft) and a 7500 redline.

hmm, what about wankel engines?
is this for a racing series?

the 1992-2002 mazda rx7 made 252hp for the lowest spec, and 276hp for the upper one. doesn't mention if they were turbo or not though
still, not bad for a 1.3

Another vote for Toyota 3SGE. The Gen 3 in my Spyder normally gives 173bhp . But mine is on carbs and is (only) 166!
RWD conversion ain't easy though.
The Mi 16 lump has a good reputation in motorsport circles but again, RWD conversion isn't simple. Unless somebody knows different....?

Just that it doesn't work that well compared to others.

Hence not being advertised as it was renault's first attempt for VVT.

Eh?

It either works or it doesn't lol. at 5350 to 7250 limit RPM the F4r in the 182 jumps nearly 40 bhp over standard lol - have you ever driven/worked on one?

I do appologise. I should have said it is not as reliable as others.

All renault clios with the F4R have VVT.

common problems with them is noise from the inlet cam shaft phase shifter

guess it depends how standard? could you disable the vvt and suffer the rubbish torque at low rpms?

If so then any of hondas late engines are 200bhp or more

Its a 1.8 and unfortunately has a turbo strapped to the side so fails to meet the criteria

ZX14R engine is circa 190+bhp but its not got the torque you'd want probably.

No idea if it got a VVC equivalent though.

clio 197.
nigh on 200 bhp but a measily 150 or so torques.

an older, more common and cheap contender would be a VX redtop, get the later dispac then the CATed factory figure 150 bhp and torques. so with removal of cat that goes up. my standard engine with just the addition of filter and decat system gives an impressive 170+ on the RR.

the fto has a MIVTEC system which is a type of variable valve timing.... not as good as the honda system either.

for power and torque it must be a sr20de engine. 150bhp out of the factory and 180 breathing properly before you've put cams/headwork/ingnition onto it. Also its pretty much bomb proof.

Fairly similar figures to the more easily available C20XE, bomb proof too. I've heard figures between 170 and 200 on TBs or chunky carbs. SBD have an engine with nearly 300bhp N/A (if infinite funds are available )

Are you sure you are not thinking of the dephaser fitted to the K4M 760 and 782?

I have only seen one fail on a clio and that was due to incorrect fitting by another mechanic. Meganes and scenics however are a different story - but that is a different part by a different manufactuer.

volvo b5202s- an impressive 123 bhp - surely nobody can beat that !!!

if this is going in A.N. Other motor then the std significance isnt really applicable since intake and exhaust would more than likely be different .

We are missing the point. This could be a debate on the Renault Forums. I personally have seen at least 3 clios with this problem and one was my mechanic's who used to work in Renault in Greece. 3 clios are a lot if you consider that there aren't a lot in Greece.


The point is that all the Clios 172, 182, 197 have VVT and the engine does not meet the requirements of our friend.

Having a sudden jump in power at a particular RPM would suggest it isn't a very good system. It's easy to get an engine to have a very non-linear power delivery, just fit a set of cams with lots of overlap. The point of variable valve timing is to make the engine work more efficiently at all speeds.

Have you ever driven a car with the K series VVC engine? You wouldn't know there was any variable valve timing, it simply feels like a bigger engine as it gives more torque at low and high engine speeds.
