went to do my brakes on my dci today, not removed the wheel since i got it and it appears the locking nut on one of the wheel has been badly damaged by a previous owner/garage so basically the key doesnt fit in it! so looks like im going to need to drill it out or something? never done it before...
only engines that will fit STRAIGHT in and bolt in are non RS clio engines, ie 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.5 DCi engines but of course they wont wire straight in. and im assuming your looking for an upgrade (although some will say a dci is an upgrade ;))
if u want renault engine, 2.0t F4R will fit...
depends what your looking for and what year the car is.
if your wanting an open filter for noise then their all the same, they will all make noise and loose you power so just go for the cheapest on k-tec or something.
if your not wanting to lose performance and want noise then go for...
you my friend are a legend. haha cheers!
on a 2nd not BAWWWSSSS! the one on ebay is a dci80 one :( is the dci 100 one really worth waiting out for to pop up? any idea what they cost from renault?!
i got 85bhp with filter, cat back, decat (and 140k miles!! lol) and apparently they are mapping well so id say deffo 85bhp with a remap, possibly bit more!
1.2 16v is a single cam engine, no cam out for it as far as i know, will need to get yours reworked, but wouldnt bother to be honest.
strip EVERYTHING its the best way to gain "power"
cat back exhaust with decat, decent panel filter and remap will gain a bit but not much and your looking at...
Mish, no problemo like i said no rush :p
172Ben, couldnt tell you ive not started the engine since ive removed it, cant see it making much difference though!
na thats my other mates, the one in the pics i posted is a genuine EK9, just imported few months ago for my mate. just fitted an HKS silent hi power exhaust to it, sounds awesome!
yeah i thought stickers were a nice touch! too ill put a few more under there just not sure what ones yet lol possibly just one of the new k-tec ones in the centre since its a full k-tec exhaust system.
wheels are going into williams powder coating in falkirk soon for a refurb :)
id like a shot to see how quick these feel, i was genuinely impressed with the performance of my dci65, i was coming onto the motorway the other day and it was doing just under a tonne and i was still on the sliproad!!
im getting the urge to map it, tryed to tell myself 1000 times its just a...
awesome, cheers mate ill get it all ordered up on thursday.
ive got some heat padding to insulate the filter from heat soak, navy spec stuff that they use on the submarines for the nucular reactors lol apparently costs about £300 per square meter lol
edde, not got the workshop manual for dci cambelt have you? doing mine this month, not got much experiance with belts/timing etc so would rather have the guide.
payed £1800 for it including 1yrs road tax (£35), 10 months mot, 141k, no service history (had an oil filter stamped march 08 though so must have some sort of history!)
awesome little car for the money though, can have a shot of it if you like see what you think.
honestly mate i cant recomend...
buzzing sounds like the xenon headlights, or atleast mine make that noise, or similar, does it do it when the headlights are off?
as for idling noise, mine doesnt sound that loud, theres a lot of different things it could be, try putting a screwdriver on different parts and listning with your...
