Have you seen this - turbo on a 1.2??

Heres the link! i cant see if its actually got one or not, but even if it does why would you bother wasting your time fitting a turbo to a 1.2

Ye it has one, black pipe on the left feeds into it its that small,

 

[RobBrown]

Its a factory engine from renault designed to sip fuel like a mouse but have the poke of a 1.6 i believe (correct me if im wrong)

 

[freemo77]

i didnt know you could get them, whats the performance on one of those?

 

[Tyler@Ultimate]

yeah they come standard from Renault now mate.

 

[StevenMc29]

Yea it's out of the newer clios. Around 100hp iirc? Also in the twingos too i think

 

[marinemackay2003]

how did you not see the turbo??

Its the 1.2 TCE engine. It is a cracking engine really. Advertised as having the power of a 1.4, torque of a 1.6 and economy of a 1.2, they also do a 1.4TCE now too its in the Megane. All the manufactorers are using small forced iduction engines now, they get much better economy than a n/a engine.

I've driven a Clio 1.2 TCE and it was a nice unit to use, by no means a performance engine but it gives significant improvements over a standard 1.2 16v. It greatly improves the mid range usability of the engine. All relitave of course, like I said its no rocket but it makes the car a lot more useable than a n/a 1.2

 

[Paul.M]

they sound like cracking engines

but whats the point in the guy selling it as a 1.2 turbo engine without the turbo or anything included, seems a bit daft to me

 

[Mavez]

did anyone ever find out if one of these 1.2 TCE's would drop straight into a mk2 1.2 16v clio? I heard somewhere it's the same D4F engine but with a turbo D4FT!

I looked into doing a conversion about a year ago but ended up getting a 172 in the end. AFAIK the mounts are the same so it'd drop straight in but looms may be different and you'd need the D4FT ECU unlocked.

100brake standard, can be tuned safely to 130.

It's a nice little engine, as said - not fast. Just has adequate performance

good mpg & CO2 Emissions for more power
