How much more complex is the 197 to work with?
Does want !! they fit a 1.6
Andy way off topic but you guys wouldent happen to be able to get Braided lines for a 1.6 Mk3 would you ???
yes... give us a call
in respect to the engine, its mechanically very similar...
electronically....!!!!!!! not as easy.

we havnt done a 1.6 but we can make you a manifold.
electronics no problem
whats the advantage of them? sorry if hijacking but I have no idea how they work etc would appriciate if some one can explain
An individual throttle is used for each cylinder (4 in the case of the Clio). This has a number of advantages over a single throttle supplying air to all cylinders. There are opportunities for increased power, torque and throttle response. The improvements are possible due to a more direct, free flowing air path.
Here is the view down one throttle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMg9mwwP8LY
You can see the inlet ports/valves are directly inline with the inlet trumpet so the air can flow straight to the cylinder with minimal restriction.
Honda S2000 example, not too much gains high up...but great increase in mid-range torque (no bad thing on a Honda...or a 197 for that matter):
Lots scope for tuning the ITB's for your desired performance characteristics through changing length/diameters/injector position etc.

depends on if thats where you get the gains, the gains on my 172 are all from 4k upwards, below that it remains quite the same to stock

Thanks very much for clearing that up
No worries! I had a set of home brew ITB's for my Polo before I sold it. Never got round to fitting them but there was scope for 125bhp, which is a marked increase over the standard 75bhp. All with some bike bodies, a custom manifold, uprated cam and some other bits and pieces. Would have loved the option to buy an off the shelf kit, even if you do it on your own it costs almost as much and the results are often not as good...especially if the off the shelf kit is well designed.
ITB's are definately something I'd consider for future plans if I bought a Clio.

common misconception. We've seen better than standard economy and drivabiliy from our kits
