Twingo has a JH3169 and the clio a JH3186, here are the ratios vs each other. Twingo is listed with my higher rev limit of 100rpm though. Both based on running 195/50/15s

if i were you id go with exhaust, air filter 172 inectors and a remap. see how you go from there. Them bits are of little outlay. Clutch when needed then bigger turbo, then maybe a cam if you find the stock one causing you issues. I expect you will find the limits of the rods before needing a...
it's a Renault engine. its not defo but all the measurements show itd be close. well the friction plate anyway. Volvo 440 1.7 turbo 200mm clutch. they do a 215mm but that wont fit for sure
as longs as its mapped for either static fuel pressure (might aswell on n/a) or fluctuating pressure itll make no difference. take the easiest route and don't add a pressure ref line (y)
172 injectors, big open air filter, protoxide decat (wasn't on when mapped) ktec cat back and a big front mount intercooler. 145bhp 147lbft at 13/14psi. Driven daily and you wouldn't think it was anything other than factory. except for the fact it flies for a 1.1 engined car
why wouldn't a 1.2 go much past 66k? you would be lucky to get much over 150bhp tbh. the turbo doesn't really have it in it. I can't comment to much on longevity bit though. I've done 2k+ now on mine. daily driving 50 miles and I like to kick it hard a fair bit too and it hasn't let go yet
EFI in Runcorn, Chris recently remaped my twingo gt. final figures in at 145bhp and 147ftlb. FMIC cat back 172 injectors, big fmic and open air filter (y)
cheers for that. i didnt have much bother tbh. removed a few brackets, flipped it upside down, removed one of the dog bone bolts and it pretty much fell out. Sounds properly fruity now (y) hopefully picked up a few extra ponies too.
As above, 7psi normally with up to 9psi on over boost (twingo tce that is but cant see it being different) @Martin_172 did you decat yours, how difficult was it? any pointers?
if you want a relatively cheap upgrade to bigger stoppers you can modify pug 307 calipers a little and bolt them on with 172 280mm disks. i run this on my twingo which is basically a clio front end. i upgraded from the 259mm setup to this.
