How to improve my BHP?

[Ed]

I got a 02 reg 1.2 Clio, its current BHP is 60.

I was just wondering how i could improve this?

 

[AhmedRSi]

Uh oh...

 

[Bazzon]

Dont bother, there are little gains to get from a 1.2, the only way to make the car faster is to strip it.

Less weight = more power

Buy a 182 instant 122 BHP increase:rasp:

Hole in the floor so you can stick your legs through any push it along Flintstone stylee

 

[Ed]

How about air intakes? How much would that improve it by?

 

[Naith]

not worth it mate!

just enjoy the car for what it is honestly

Stripping its the best way to gain and its FREE !!!!

 

[Ed]

To answer the question, just don't, you're not going to get a considerable gain without throwing ££££££££££'s at it. As said, stripping is about the best thing you could do.

I wouldnt mind making it sound nicer not like a hair dryer! What can i do? to make it sound nicer!

your pissing in the wind with power upgrades on a 1.2, just get a loud exhaust and induction kit your senses will tell you its more powerful when its not, sorry to be blunt but at the end of the day its a N/A 1.2 engine

 

[Tucker]

theres this thing you can get called an f4r conversion,

google it

 

[Ed]

Oh right thanks for the help! anyway! might just make it look nice! with no upgrades

m8 to be honest there are loads of threads on this subject n rly there isnt much point in wasting your money!!! save up and get a faster car, then u can tune that!

 

[Ed]

Ok, the thing is its my first car, and its only done 15k on the clock. And i cant really afford the insurance on a better car. Already spending 1700 on insurance!

Dont forget you'll need to declare your mods, and I am guessing as your driving a 1.2 and paying £1700 insurance that your young, and that will mean most insurers wont insure you with modifications.

 

[Ed]

All i done is put a clio standard spoiler on it!! and changed the aerial!

Less weight = more power

Ye right, more like less weight = increased BHP/Ton.

Come on mate.

Thanks People!

15s make it handle better

 

[alex-avfc]

Just focus on the looks mate. fun can still be had with limited power, jus make it look better theres way more potential to do that:evil:

 

[Russ.]

I wouldn't bother. Squeezing a meaningful amount of power is hard enough from a 182 let alone a 1.2

NOS

 

[andy_t]

buy a faster car
i no you mentioned the insurance
but if your spending loads on modifying then you may as well save the cash and spend it on the insurance of the faster car

 

[Dave..]

Seen loads of these "I want a faster 1.2" threads, and tbh, when people say "save up for a faster car" it really is the best thing to do.

Get some one to take you out in a 182, or something as quick/quicker, and you'll soon learn why it's pointless spending money on a 1.2, without having to take an ear bashing off this lot.
