Hi I currently have a 2011 Clio 3 1.2 TCE and I am relatively new to having a turbo (I know its small, but its a nice difference!). On acceleration from 2nd to 3rd, if I change when the turbo JUST cuts in at 2.2K RPM (Where you can feel the extra pull) then Ill get turbo flutter. If I leave...

Hello! I was here a couple of months ago looking to increase performance for a 1.2 16v; which I was happy with the economy but the performance was ass... Long story short, I opted to get a 1.2 TCE and I am absolutely loving it. It's not mind blowing performance so to speak but I can 'go fast'...

Test drove a 1.2 TCE yesterday, It kicks in 100% at 3000RPM.

I will also consider that, but I'm not sure that there are many cars about with 19k miles on the clock like mine has, but if I come across one I'll definately give it a thought.

I used to get 10-11 seconds to 60 in my old Clio 2 1.2 8v which was stripped but it's long gone now which is why I've ended up with a Clio 3. Yes, all mods declared; I wouldn't be stupid to be driving around in a modded car waiting for a crash. I don't want an RS, its too pricey and I've only...

Is fitting a TCE turbo to it a big job? I'm not experienced but it's definately something I would love to learn; I have a friend who is a Mechanic so we can work together on it. This what I am looking for...

Why not? They are perfect for road use and they can be a lot of fun to drive, especially that economy.

So I will be looking at a straight through (as much as possible) exhaust system and what would you recommend for an intake setup? Single cone? Panel? Twin Cone?

Hi everyone, I am still interested in making my little 1.2 pull a little better. Before everyone mentions why I don't just buy a bigger engine; I prefer the economy and insurance costs of a 1.2, even when adding modifications to it to help it pull better. I came across this...

Thats for everything though, including labour I believe.

Have you seen the prices on MK.3 RenaultSports? No thanks. I can probably throw an engine in my current car for half the price.

Unless I can find a 200 that looks like a 1.2 then I won't get one. I don't want all of the extra features, just the same one that I have now, but with more power. I want it to look sensible, but with a devil under the bonnet. Putting a bigger engine in my current car would mean that it would...

Mate, its not special needs if you are happy with the car shell and interior that you currently have. It is spotless.

How come, who else would be able to do it?

Could they possibly do it with a Clio 3? My bad, I just double checked the picture, absolutely gutting.

Hi, I have spotted this on KTEC's website, basically replacing the 1.2l engine and all the parts and smashing a 2l in there. Seriously interested in this and I have heard good things about the company. http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2098 The picture looks like a Clio 3 bay but...

I'd like to see this guide too.

Ill take a look at that tomorrow for the boot lid, thanks guys. Also, why are V6's so expensive? £12-13k for a 50k v6 where as £3k for a 182? Probably a silly question, but is it really worth that price difference?

Got any more pictures? I can't see whats going on really. Looks like hes hit a wall to be honest.

Wouldn't my engine just be better than a TCE if I did a real Turbo addition on to it? I'd need a crap ton of parts so what would be the point in an engine conversion if I am going to replace them anyway (most likely).

Oh trust me, I did consider it. But what put me off was the fact that it was sport; after all. If someone is buying a sport, they are going to rag it end of story. Who doesn't? Its damn near impossible to find a low mileage 182 that hasn't ever seen its limiter many-a-times.

I've noticed that my old Clio 2 1.2 gearbox was absolute shyte too. Seems to be a problem with all Renault 1.2 Boxes, my friend had to replace his recently in his 2. The spare wheel is solid, but I think the exhaust is tapping it, isn't the exhaust meant to be a tad bit loose? As for the price...

Hi Gents and Ladies. I recently got a Clio 3 1.2, there are a few questions I'd like to ask everyone about though; things are a little 'strange...'. Knocking in boot when driving on road - I have put this down to the exhaust tapping on the spare wheel underneath the car, I am used to it...

Hi Gents and Ladies. I have recently been in a bit of a dilemma. Let me explain. Last Thursday I was involved in a crash with my beloved Clio 2, which I loved to pieces; what a great car! Full story here: Hi Reddit, I need your advice. I just had my first car accident (Around 5 hours ago). I...
