clio 182 performance modifications

[tonaz]

Hi everyone, I am new to this and was just after some advice.

I am looking to improve the performance of my car and am unsure what is the best means. I have spoke to k-tec and they suggestes a group n ecu remap and itg moxogen kit to start.

Anyone else had these, if so what do you think?

I was also thinking of getting a de-cat on top of this, anyones views on that would also be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Tony.

remap
decat

definitely worth doin..... depends how much power you want to extract.... there are turbo conversions available but they are $$$

Hi thanks for that, what exactly is an inlet match?

Appologies for my ignorance

Neither does your post fuckwit!!

Basically there are several cast componenets that channel the air into the engine. On the RS Clios it's a lottery as to how well these parts match up due to manufacturing tolerances. So people have them modified to ensure they are as good a match as possible. Better match = better air flow = more power.

very simplistic, but a basic idea.

It is where they take off the inlet manifold and make sure that the size and shape of the inlet manifold match the inlet ports on the head. If there is a lip on either you will get air hitting this and stalling causing slower air flow in to the head thus reducing power.
The best way to make your car faster and safer is to go on driver training.
