Hi All, Just recently got my first scooby. its a blobeye 2003. Always wanted one and finally decided to get one. Ive always had renaultsports so bit of a change for me.
Previously just sold my megane 225 which was running 272hp i thought jumping into the scooby would feel a lot quicker but it doesnt not at top end, off the line obviously its a lot quicker with the 4 wheel drive.
my scooby has got the prodrive pack and was told running between 260hp and 280hp, have receipt from turbo monkey for £150 remap (which seems insanely cheap which might be part of the problem!)
From what i can tell a lot of HP numbers flying round with no real proof. When i had the megane mapped it was on a rolling road with full print out with a very respected tuner.
I want the same kind of thing again on this as i reckon its probably running about 240hp max (at a guess) Obviously the car is best part of 500kg heavier than what im used to and that may be deceiving when stepping on the loud pedal in the feeling of it not being quick when maybe it is.
Car has got panel filter and hks downpipe and ive just fitted a vortex afterburner backbox. Im looking at getting a centre pipe to replace the second cat.(will this turn the engine light on?)
Car has recently had new samco coolant hoses oil change and new spark plugs (although i dont know whether the spark plugs were the uprated ones being PFR7B)
Once this is done i wanted to check power on a dyno, nearest one to me is RCM in Hinckley, i want a base to see where i am power wise before any more modding.
Im guessing it needs a map adjustment running the decat aswell in place if i get the centre pipe changed? (can anyone advise how much louder would it be with the decat in place of centre pipe?)
