clio 172 cup tuning tips

[big_steve]

i have a standard 172 cup and i am looking to up its performance to around the 200bhp mark. i have tried fitting an induction kit and it made the car quite sluggish in the higher rev band and just wondered if anyone could offer any advice on what would be the best way to go.

Matched Inlets, Cams, ECU Remap and std breathing mods will get you over 200 but expect to pay in excess of 2K for all that.

Nitrous will give you the bigest bang for your bucks.

Also consider gear box upgrade

I paid less than £400 for just short of 200bhp. I did pick up some bargains along the way though.

I wouldn't bother personally as you never really gain much but it depends how much you love your Clio.

Hold the phone!!

400 bucks!! My induction kit was 400 bucks!!

It will cost you 2k minimum if you do it properly with usability and reliability thrown in. Of course with 200 bhp you will want to up rate things like brakes and suspension a little IMO

400 BUCKs.......your some cookie!!!

Janspeed sports cat - £50,
Phase 1 airbox and panel - £40
Exhaust - £0, already fitted
Inlets - £150
Remap - £170

That's £410 for at least 190 bhp. I've not added my 182 setup but if I did, I'd still only be around £500.

190 bhp from that lot?? youve done well their

 

[deviltronics]

len, have you had your car on the rollling road or are those figures a slight guess?

 

[len_beach]

I was at 180 with just the exhaust, remap and panel filter on Paul's old Dyno Dynamics. Since then i've fitted the cat', new airbox and matched inlets. I'll be having it RR'd shortly to get a true figure.

 

[deviltronics]

same stuff as me.

got mine done on pauls new rr, got 184 bhp


sounds like you have a good car there.

Think you'll be lucky if you have 190 their mate but if you do get it, you must have one of the 'good ones'

 

[Donz144]

Never say never I guess! like I said... I spent 400 on my IK!!!!!!!!!!

HOW STUPID AM I!

 

[MickeyO]

i have

exhaust
full de cat
bmc cda with caf
remap by paul @ rstuning

need to fit my 182 manifold
then i want to get ports matched

who does the port matching thing? how much is it? any info appreciated. Cheers

hoping for about 190 / 195 bhp.

 

[kully]

^^^^ inlet matching .....BenR

If you want a truly fast car, sell the clio and get something with a turbo, which is easily tuneable.

But if you want point to point speed, uprate the brakes/ suspension first, and then do some of the mods suggested above.

Decatted exhaust, angleworks inlet manifold, itg panel filter, remap is the route id take. Car will feel much quicker than figures suggest.

I've got 182 manifold, decat, superchip, exhaust and bmc cda filter, i put out 188hp at Surrey RR day, chuffed really as very minor mods, but saying that all RR figures need to be taken with a pinch of salt

Charlie who runs SRR is a mate of mine and his rollers are used by AMD and many other tuners to check there on rolling roads.

My car made exactly the same there as I did at Clifford Cox Engineering.

 

[Robbs29]

Surrey RR is normally very accurate.

 

[Johnc172]

Even better for me then woohoo!!
