yep sure would im running just a stage 1 high torque map as the injectors hold it back and am getting 120bhp 145lbft
172 injectors added into it and your looking at 135-140bhp, add in an intercooler, exhaust, induction etc and you can get close to the turbos 150bhp limit
wont matter as its a generic map not custom to your mods so while you will likely get a small benefit from an induction kit if done properly it doesn't matter if you do it before or after the map.
mapped DCI's are awesome, by the time you paint your new panels etc then personally I wouldn't think its going to be worth it unless your doing it just purely because you want to! if it was me id just stick a decent suspension setup on it, tidy wheels and rubber, get it mapped and have some...
ebay is your best bet, its not as easy as change the inlet manifold and exhaust manifold and gain 25bhp though the engines run a higher compression ratio and different cams, for the money it would cost you would be better swapping to 2.0 power or boosting your current 1.6
the 1.6 GT has the 6 speed clio 200 box though!
as already said, the DCi is the one to go for, 1.6 VVT is pretty gutless in the twingo never mind the Clio 3!
ive got FK 30mm bolt to hub spacers for the twingo but the wheel bolts need modified to chop them down as they go through the wheel, spacer then touch the hub before tight
a car like that on PCP is proably still going to cost 10k in payments though for the 3yrs, and your restricted in millage, and ideally need to keep it for the full term.
depreciation is an issue on them no matter what route you go, I think its either a case of deal with it, or choose another car
you install the software on your laptop, plug the rs tuner into the computer/car and take a screenshot and send it to henk, he then sends you the best map for your car
Re: Shell Nitro+
I was running it yesterday for the rolling road and expected lower figures than last time since ambient temps were a bit higher and I run 30c above ambient due to my poor intercooler, yet I ran 2bhp and 2lbft more, down to the fuel? who knows.
was running Tesco momentum last time
ha beat me to it there John! cheers
Next up it needs brakes as they have hardly any pads left!!!
looking at Pug 406 Coupe/Mk1 FRS / Fiat coupe turbo brembos + 172 280mm discs
bit of an update, AP rear dampers are rubbish and knock like mad so swapped them for a pair of Apex ones, problem sorted!
Car was on the rollers again, this time made 119.8bhp @ 5000rpm and 146lb/ft @ 3000rpm
had a rusty old engine mount cover decided to give it a paint since I had spare...
