Imo as a fast road car an rs tuner map is a must have and the only upgrade i bother with power wise now, my trophy runs a paper filter, a cat and a standard exhaust, along with an rs tuner map. Its quiet and nice to drive and pulls just as hard as any rs ive had!
Infact its bog standard other...
that's pretty much what I done with mine tidyed it up nicely, I was lucky mine is the same colour of black as a 172 so I just got a set of colourcoded 172 door handles, side strips and spoiler
currently putting it back to standard to sell it on though, my suspension is for sale in the for...
I wouldn't worry to much about the intercooler being that size buddy, it doesn't affect it as much as you might think its only if you end up going crazy big with a lot of pipework. I noticed zero difference in lag going from a 65 that has a tiny bend from turbo to inlet to a 80 setup with all...
theres no point in getting s**tty about it mate. check the Renault parts catalogue and you will see for yourself.
Delphi part number EJBR01401Z Renault part number 8200132793 - 48KW engine (65bhp)
Delphi part number EJBR01801A Renault part number 8200365186 - 60KW and 74KW (80 and 100bhp)...
See my thread about 172 suspension onto a dci just under yours. Im running apex -60mm springs and dampers, handles really well and sits low but too stiff for all the miles i do.
Imo the best setup is cup dampers and springs (or eibach springs to go with them) but its not straight forward...
guys am I right in thinking the hubs use the same ball joint so I can run 172 hubs, discs, callipers and suspension without going widetrack with lower arms etc?
my 80 is currently on apex -60mm and its too stiff for doing miles so looking to stick a fresh set of 172 dampers all round with my...
nope mate other way about, a dci 65 will max its injectors out around 85bhp, dci 80 shares the same injectors as the 100, the turbo holds the dci 80 back.
I had a similar issue on a car I was having a look at for a boy recently, turned out to be a loose inner track rod, it had been replaced by a garage a few months prior :S
could have been nasty, I was stumped as you could feel it through the wheel and it was worse on rough roads or under braking
same filter as the 197/200 I had a pipercross 200 filter in my GT DCI.
lol at ktecs figures, you would be lucky to gain 20bhp on the GT DCI from a map!!
yep cambelt driven, wouldn't worry about these fuel additives, save your cash. the car was designed to run without them! some fail well under 100k miles others run fine towards and passed 200k!
the dci 80 and dci 100 share the same injectors. its the dci 65 that's different
Car looks good, lights worry me on them though, usually points to injector or high pressure pump
loads of info at www.cliodci.net
basically engines are all the same, mk3 used a different fuel system which is a bit better but the Delphi stuff on the mk2 aint too bad in my experience so far!
look out for a dci 100 if your looking to tune, 130bhp and 190lbft and they are pretty quick...
68's had the Jr5 box the same as the dci 100
later ones didn't have sunroofs (thankfully!) less to rattle and leak.
didn't know about the intercoolers!
can you hear the turbo boosting? is it giving off excess smoke when your getting up the revs?
I had one with a boost leak and it would start to pull about 1500rpm then drop off at 1800rpm and start giving off thick black smoke due to the lack of air. it was a boost pipe that had cracked around...
no point tuning it, better with the diesel for that. not a great engine the petrol.
you could have it remapped and find out what bits are different with the 128bhp engine in yours and the 133bhp engine in the twingo as they are pretty much the same but with different outputs
if its a sucking noise (sounds like the car taking a quick breath!) when you first press the accelerator then that's normal.
if it continues to keep making a sucking noise then you have an air leak somewhere
imagine how much fun it would be trying to get that clean and running again! id give it a go! they are still holding that much money that id bet you could still make a profit on that if it cost you close to free and wasn't registered as a write off
ive had FK silverline X which I believe are just stainless version of the konigsport (still have koni dampers etc) and ive had Bilstein B14, and the bilsteins are better, but the FK's were bloddy good!
I only used them on the road though so not sure about track
is it running full 172 widetrack so hubs and driveshafts etc?
as the abs shouldn't be an issue unless the driveshafts are changed as the abs rings are part of these, I wasn't even aware they were different teeth wise? and I don't think the sensors are any different so even if it had 172 hubs it...
