mine is a generic map from Henk @ fastchip, costs about £200 maby a bit more depending on exchange rate, he sends you the software, map and RS tuner box to upload it to your car and you do it yourself, easy! same as everyone running them on 172/182's - mine has the 120bhp/145lbft on an otherwise...
mate had one in a saxo, was hilarious guess it wrong 3 times and it wouldn't let the car start for 15 minutes or something, I used to do it at 10pm outside work all the time then leave him stranded for 15 minutes lol
Because im a top mate of course
exhaust, filter and decat on a standard engine will probably get you at very most 10bhp, with a stage 1 map 130bhp should be achievable but injectors are limiting you massively, 172/182 injectors and another map and 145bhp should be achieavable with an intercooler
clutch is the only issue and heavy steering to get used to, were trying to get hold of a twingo 133 for an extended drive with the intention of swapping from 1.2 16v twingos
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
