Clio 1.4 or 1.6

[WILLIE]

is there any major diffrence between these two engines? (mk2 versions) i mean in like performance wise? does the 1.6 offer a lot more power. im stuck on which engine to go for so any help would be top notch, thanks . ow and no i cant get a 2.0 cause im only 18 lol

1.4 16v 98bhp

1.6 16v 110bhp

 

[Harry_manback]

1.4's are faster mate

 

[Timmay]

^^ yeah right! whatever

go for a 1.6 16v dynamique - wont be disappointed

 

[_Kenny_]

are you talking mk2 phase 1 or mk2 phase 2?

The ph2 bhp figures are above.

The ph1 bhp figures are:
1.4 8v - 75bhp
1.6 8v - 90bhp

 

[Harry_manback]

i knew id get a response like that.

honestly i doubt theres a huge amount of difference, OBVIOUSLY the 1.6 is faster its also harder to get hold of and more expensive to run.

so its up to you really.

personally i think the 1.4 is a big enough step up from a 12 or 1.0.
mine did about 44mpg when i bought it. down to about 32mpg now 100k later

Get a DCi100 instead, get a Pmurray remap and your looking at the good side of 120bhp and more torque than a 182

...and 60mpg!!!

 

[Timmay]

^ ive been toying with that idea as well

 

[Giles]

lol @ al

 

[Maxx]

Get a 1.4 16v as cheaper tax and insurance and just tune it to 110bhp and your there!! - they're basically the same engines anyway

 

[al]

^ ive been toying with that idea as well

I'm going down that route

Probably with a DCi 80 but will stick with stock power for a bit, see what it's like etc

 

[Harry_manback]

ffs al, buy a f**king turbo. i wanna see the oil companies tremble when you go to use your car.

 

[WILLIE]

so theres not alot difference than apart from 10bhp more. the diesel sounds a good idea never thought about that.

 

[al]

Nope, only 10bhp difference inbetween, and the steering ratio in the 1.6 is the same at the 172/182's.

 

[WILLIE]

ah well looks like the best bets a 1.4 or some dci power than lol. think ill get a lil banger for a few months, save up and hopfuly be driving a new clio again, wooo :approve:

 

[edde]

1.6 has a nice lower end pull IMO. The 1.6 top end power isn't as noticable IMo untill you get the speeds up a bit.

 

[al]

Yeah, it does have a nice bottom end pull and TBH I found it good in all gears

are you talking mk2 phase 1 or mk2 phase 2?

The ph2 bhp figures are above.

The ph1 bhp figures are:
1.4 8v - 75bhp
1.6 8v - 90bhp

The mk2ph1 had both the old 8v as above and the new 16v engines the ph2 had. The 1.4 and 1.6 engines look very similar and share many parts.

iv got a 1.4 and i thinks its good not much diffrent i work for renault so iv driven both can tell that much change im 18 and its a lot cheaper on insurance .. esp with mods like wheels and stuff its killer at this age :rasp:

 

[renaultman]

iv got a 1.4 and i think it good i work for renault so iv driven both cant really tell the diffrence and it cheaper on the insurence esp if its moded im 18 too insurance is a killer :rasp:

 

[renaultman]

f**k sake the first time it didt work so i did it again and now its come up lol

 

[bmh.01]

...and 60mpg!!!

..and a dead gearbox. Can't handle the torque from what i've read.

 

[MOFO]

didnt you right off your 1.2 16v????? Id stick with a 1.216v if i was you lol

 

[WILLIE]

god! u sound like my dad lol. i wasnt even gonna step back in clio after that but now if im gna get anuva clio i wanna pay for a diff engine case instead of paying for the same car i had.

 

[MOFO]

yea but insurance will fook u up, also why not just get a 1.2 to get ur confidence back then after a year or so get a valver or somthing?

 

[WILLIE]

Yeah your right, JC5 could just about manage a 1.6/1.8 Petrol Laguna (Imagine how these are driven, people aged 40/50etc)

Al whatever you do don't get the 100 you'll get pissed off with the gearbox. Too long ratios

 

[Andy_J]

buy a 1.6 16v mate, not too bad on insurance!!

 

[dangerous dave]

get the smaller engine one as both are slow and its better to save a few quid where you can... i wish i didn't waste so much money on my first car and insuring it... i wish i was out spending that money getting wasted meeting girls and using my rifle...

Thats why i'm going for the 80

 

[Pablo]

go for a 1.6 16v dynamique - wont be disappointed

He speaketh the trutheth....

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

I'd go for the 1.6 too if I were you. I have one and I really don't understand why some people say they are slow as mine definitely isn't. As for insurance the 1.6 16V is a group 8 so shouldn't cripple you either. That's my opinion anyway.

 

[Saner]

The 1.6 16v is grp 8 or 10 depending on hich you go for, its also in the higer tax band.

From a young persons point of view th extra 12bhp isn't worth it over the 1.4 16v at grp 5 and low tax band

 

[R20 CWH]

id get the dci as well, the 80 is a good performer for the money and returns respetable mpg.

a remap will help as well

You've got a fair few points there.
I don't know whether I'm lucky but im 19 with 1 NCB and pay sub £1000 on my 1.6, and it really does feel nippy. Would be my choice out the two, however it depends if you've got the cash to pay for the extra speed or would rather conserve pennies.

Cheers,

Pete.

well as it goes now im looking for a valver. if i gonna get a 1.4 or 1.6 i would have to get it on finance but now im just gonna do the smart thing and save a couple of grand for a valver

 

[Andy_J]

you could buy a mk2 ph1 for the price of a valver!!

 

[WILLIE]

tru but the valvers alot quicker less of course you ment the 172 but then that would f**k me up on insurance. the quotes im gettin for the valver are much better then the 172, speshly only being 18 and all
