Thanks guys. I spoke to a guy at RallyTec and they want £370 all in to do the job. He reckons that the chip optimises the timing. Apparently did a 172 recently and the owner was pleased. I asked about fueling @ wide open throttle and he claims that it is not possible to alter this and that the...

Also does anyone know how they adjust fueling at Wide Open Throttle. Ive been told that it is not possible so if it is am very interested in how it is done.

Looking forward to the quarter mile action this year - that should settle a few of these cars being faster than other cars debates. :D

Ian, Ive got the Renault immobiliser and a Sigma after market alarm fitted. The Renault Key has two codes associated with it (dont know why 2). The Renault key can go out of sync with the Renault immobiliser - essentially the engine will turn over but wont start because it cuts power to the...

I had the same problem and if I look under my seats they have cut the wires, removed some wire and taped it back together with some black electrical tape. Looks a tad sh*te but the problem went away. However more recently the light occasionally comes on. Parked the other day on a slope and light...

From what I understand the Clio Cup race cars have a blueprinted engine. Blueprinting an engine means hand building an engine with perfectly fit components using maximum recommended clearances, and minimum recommended volumes. These specifications should be determined using the engine...

Hi Paul, Renault were willing to do a 60/40 deal wanting 40% from me. Luckily I had extended warranty at the time. Also my engine number prefix was listed on that technical note.

Sorry to hear that mate. Ive had this several times on my car and accelerating out of it was not an option. Opposite lock and then get ready to catch the back end trying to go the other way... nightmare.

Paul, I had the same things as yourself changed at around 30K miles. Had mine done on extended warranty. From recollection it was somewhere between £400 and £600. Loads of money.

CDA Induction Kit for Renault Clio 16v http://www.gsrengineering.com/engineering/pages/news_frm.htmlhttp://www.gsrengineering.com/engineering/pages/news_frm.html

There was a similar thread on the http://forum.cliosport.net/display_forum_topics.asp?ForumID=6Exterior, Power & Mechanical section. Apparently the modification is for a big valve reworked head. Dont know if they increase inlet/exhaust ports and match manifolds to suit?

Is this the same make of kit that Nick Reed had in his 16v?

Ive got a set. Havent got a digital camera though to take a picture. Ill try and get some measurements for the ports and the spacing between them and if someone can do this for the 16v then we will have an idea. You can get the Manifold and TB from a breakers yard however we need to confirm...

Ive found a tuning firm that will fit a 50 bhp kit for about £700 - dont know if that is a reasonable price or not. Said a refill was about £35.

Ive been thinking over the last couple of weeks whether the 172 inlet manifold ports match those of the 16v/Williams head. I know that the inlet manifold is a good design and maybe with the 172 manifold and throttle body gains could be had? Does anyone know if the ports match up? Would the...

Manifold is OK however: It would appear that Renault have done a first class flow job with the manifold as standard ! Normally to make an improvement the throttle body butterfly is enlarged along with the entry to the plenum chamber where the body bolts on. Thus more air going into the inlet...

Its out of a damaged car that had fire damage. It all looks OK, casing is all sooty @ the moment should clean off. Does anyone know what sort of temperature would be required to damage the manifold. I think it is made from Alluminium. Dont want to do work on it to find out that it is too...

Nick how about we go into Business mate ! ClioSport badged induction kits for the 16v/Williams

As far as im aware ClioSport has a discount with Renault Romford. This will be fairly expensive though compared with a local independent garage. The AA Garages on the side of Halfords arent too bad either. Dont know the Romford area so cant advice on garage near you. I used to use a place in...

Also need to make sure that if they have replaced the valves that they have fitted ones made from Nimonic which offers resistance to higher temperatures (this is what the std. ones are made from).

We should go with Torque @ wheels and then BHP @ wheels. Thats another good result for a Cup in the last few days. What was the torque at wheels figure (lbs/feet) DannyBoy?

To get the best results the chip needs to be mapped in to take into account the modifications on the car. This is why Unichips give really good results however I understand they have to cut into the wiring loom to fit it. Other chips can be programmed in place while the cars on the rollers and...

My understanding is that the only real figure read by a rolling road is Torque@ the wheels. BHP @ wheels is calculated from torque and flywheel bhp is again calculated. Other factors such as the size of the wheels and the gear ratio used to take a reading make difference as well. On the face...

I know for sure that the 172 MK1, 172 MK2 and 172 Cup have different ECUs ! It will be good to compare all the cars at the future rolling roads. I have a hunch that standard Cups will show more bhp/torque @ wheels than standard 172s. Ive spoken to several tuners about this and it might be down...

Also if it does happen then ideally we would want to try it on a 16v and 172. It would be much better to do the full range of cars however time will be a crucial factor !

Colin_S, yes say that Clio Sport are holding a rolling road day at BB performance tuning and would like to compare the results of the Induction Kits on a Clio if possible. If they are up for it then Ill need to check with Andy at BB that they can do it because of time of fitting the kit and...
