Usually mapping n/a engines isnt worth the cash but an rs tuner is on these, probably gain a couple bhp but that doesn't tell the full story. The idle raised (i think its 150rpm) and vvt activated from cold makes a big difference to the refinement and the extra mid range torque is brilliant
I find the game has changed that much now i dont do much traffic light grand prix as average diesel german barge holds its own, i prefer chasing hot hatches in the dci now lol
Standard vs standard in my experience, CTR will pull a car length or so on you, you will pull a car length on a corsa vxr, and pull a couple on a fiesta st 150 or focus st170
would be awesome if Henk @Fastchip could offer a map for this with the rstuner so you could order the kit along with an rstuner and do the full installation yourself, fit>upload map>go blasting!
Seems about right my pair were never any better than a 172 on fuel, very short gear ratios on them, my mates mk3 clio was better on fuel than mine, which is odd as with the dci and rs the clio 3 was worse than the clio 2
Drive them off boost and they are about the same on fuel as a 1.2 16v but...
Go with an f4r and a ClioTurbo.co.uk conversion, probably still work out cheaper.
There is a few custom k4m turbos about, none in the uk though as far as i know
ive never tipped a delivery driver, I don't tip the DHL man when he brings me shiney new car parts so why would I tip the guy bringing my dinner lol. Ill tip a waiter or waitress in a restaurant if I get good customer service, but that's becoming very rare these days too!!
Lol at never use your own car for work as you never fet back what u paid in, my car cost me £1000 and my company has gave me £2500 in expenses for using it!
In reply to the original question, we have been using these engines for driving school cars since 2001, usually change the cars at 140k...
I had a dodgey one and fitted these last week http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-Mk2-172-182-RS-Formula-Power-10mm-RACE-PERFORMANCE-Plug-Lead-sets-/311297769037?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item487acafe4d
I usually stick to genuine stuff but they are sound so far!
Im not slating the car at all, it has its negatives, the problem is as a package its not good enough compaired to the competition to out weigh the negatives.
Look at the out going 200, crashy ride, horrid front bumper, s**t fuel consumption, none of this mattered because as a package, very...
you cant map them stealthly though if they want to find it they will! so glad I didn't do mine after my engine going bang at 1700 miles on my older 200
