1.2 Dynamique turbo

[joshcliff1]

ive just bought my clio and fancy some performance mods, any ideas anyone? cheers

 

[James105]

How much ££ you thinking about?

 

[joshcliff1]

£1000 mate, ECU remap has been recommended?

 

[ChrisLu]

not worth it tbh, the amount u spend on a 1.2 will probably be better off gettin a cheap 172 ph1

 

[joshcliff1]

well its a 57plate with 3400 miles on the clock so i dont really want to change engine,

will an ecu remap not make much diff even though its a turbo?

 

[ben_r1]

mk3?

Didnt know they did a 1.2 turbo, isit quick? I've driven the 1.4 turbo and i was amazed how quick it was.

Exhaust and filter, get things flowing abit quicker...

 

[joshcliff1]

mk4 mate.

its not bad 100BHP

want a bit more though

 

[ben_r1]

Mark 1 > Mark 2 ph1 > Mark 2 ph2 > Mark 3 :rasp:

Unless you got that new Clio with the facelifted front that looks like a van.

 

[James.f]

bigger turbo

 

[ben_r1]

Best way to make a car go faster... Strip the back seats out.

I know someone on here who has a std 1.4 that can out drag a Saxo VTR cos its stripped. Free performance.

Oh my, this should get interesting.

 

[ben_r1]

Oh my, this should get interesting.

Sorry are members with 1.2s not allowed to modify their cars lol?

We've all been there, its just a stepping stone. I hate the way some people on this site look down on members modifying the 1.2s and 1.4s.

 

[AK]

Exactly Alan! So shh !

Good on ya.. its our hard earned cash not theirs

 

[joshcliff1]

well what mk is the one in your dp ben?

 

[ben_r1]

Mk3 mate, Yours probaly is too.

 

[joshcliff1]

aw well your right lol, i didnt realise lol,

anyway back to modding my engine, any ideas then?

 

[Mark One]

Mark 1 > Mark 2 ph1 > Mark 2 ph2 > Mark 3 :rasp:

The maths above is all true.

That's not what he was talking about. Also, I'm interested to learn more about this 1.4 turbo Clio you have driven...

 

[ben_r1]

Does it have a plastic inlet manifold or aluminium?

Renaults always respond well to abit of inlet matching.

Like said before Exhaust and air filter. Decat if you can cos turbo'd engines hate a cat convertor :rasp:

Look n0obs, i was actually meaning this is gonna get interesting with the suggestions that people put, but just because i can, f*ck you all, i have an R27

 

[ben_r1]

Lol, some constructive input to the thread wouldnt go a miss either fella...

IIRC the full engine is made form plastic ???

 

[joshcliff1]

sounds good ben, hmm got me thinking now

 

[ben_r1]

That'd be one light engine lol.

 

[Ali]

PMSL! R27 wi no airbox. PROPER NED!

 

[Alan]

Ok, coilovers or gas suspension kit, decent disc and pad set up for the front, exhaust/decat, DONE.

'watch this' pullin out of tescos in the burgh on the limiter..

You can often make a car go faster without even touching the engine.

As said suspension and brake mods are cheaper and more effective, people are just corrupted by horsepower :evil:

 

[Ali]

Now that i look back on it, you can go 2 ways with the clio/RS range.

1/ Cosmetic. - Personal taste, Lowering, wheels, 4 pots(performance also) DONE

2/ Performance (Ignore non RS models) - Strip it making it loud/uncomfy/ a pain in the ass to drive with track set coils/ pads etc.

Balls in your court, with a 1.2 I'd be cleaning it and pumping the spare change into high end hookers, "Far more of a buzz"

 

[Alan]

So true on a relatively small N/A engine you won't get much, sh1t you only get about 10-15bhp from the 2.0 by spending well over a grand..

 

[Mark One]

I've driven the 1.4 turbo and i was amazed how quick it was.

aaaaaand fail.
You've driven no such thing.

ph3 has the same bumper as mine. Not bitching, just wanted to let you all know

FLOL, I nearly fell oot the back, Glad big Bragg was hawdin me doon!!!

 

[Brett]

Coilovers to improve the boat like handling as standard.

Decat and exhaust, an IK setup and then a remap. That should be good for around 125-130bhp on a sensible map.

Then you can go down the stripping route etc if wanted.

 

[joshcliff1]

Had a remap done running 127 now, can feel a bit of a diff, going for de-cat and filter next week

someone said upgrade the turbo but i think that will f**k te engine

 

[Scott™]

I would of got the filter and decat then had the remap mate.

 

[joshcliff1]

i was thinking about it mate but they had an offer on 240 from 370 but it was only on or the week so took it

 

[muddyobject]

Out of interest where did you get the remap?

 

[Brian172]

Brakes and suspension is what you want, will make so much difference.

Just to add, the mark 1 clio came in 3 phases
the mark 2 came in 2 phases (not including Campus so you could call it phase 3 if you like)
the mark 3 is now in its 2nd phase.
