Clio DCI 85 vs DCI 100 diffrences.

[BMcN]

Just wondering if there are any internal diffrences to the DCI engine between the 85 BHP model and the 100BHP model?



Also, what companies are best for remapping and what kind of costs would I be looking at?

Different turbo (variable vanes), different intake and higher pressure fuel injection. New pistons and new water/oil heat exchanger. Different gearbox. As you can see its not remapping !

dci k9k 700, 704 = 80 bhp
dci k9k 702 = 100 bhp

Engine codes for clio dci
if your chassis starts with vf1cb07 youve got a 80 bhp model - based on 3dr
if it starts with vf1cb08 youve got a 100 bhp model

as for remapping the ecu try superchips or ring 01282 724427 - they should be able
to download a new programme via the diagnostic point or fit a 100 hp chip ( to your 80 hp clio )
in your old ecu. If they cant they will know someone who can.

Have a search Ive done a few [osts on the subject the 100 is quite a bit uprated over the 85 as jeramy said new pistons, rings, turbo, fueling, oil cooler. etc

There 2 tunning method though

1 - Remap ie superchip which is expensive but the best way round it (cost abotu £450 I think although members get a discount)

2 - Tunning box connects in a few minutes and cen be removed easly for warrently work or selling it one. Cost about £250 to 500 but you coulds sell one on for £150 minimum.

Gains wont be that much different the remap will probably get you another 5% more power but thats only a might not for definate. You will get better power delivery though but it will cost you more.

Knowing the price for a new enigine (over £3k) Id go for a tunning box just so Renault wont know start trying to back out of warently work.

You can tell what engine you have by the side badges the 65 has white letters the 80 (some call it 85 as thats what it make in real life) has a coloured I (think its blue). The 100 has 2 letter coloured in (or is it three?)

You cannot just put a 100dci ecu in there. Well you could but please invite me to watch and video the engine when you do.

You could remnap a 85 to 105~110 at superchip or tunning box to 100~105hp.

ive got the 80.



Not gonna get it re-mapped. Super chip is the easiest thing as i can always remove it.

Should take it to about 100bhp.

Never driven the 100 model so would not know what its like. but if you get the 100 you can get chips to take it to 125 or something

Dont think theres a 100 dci remap out at the moemtn as there new still.

Im sure if you wanted to be a developement customer and went to there place down south that they would do you a good deal to use your car as a test one although they would need the car for a few hrs.

Superchip isnt easy to remove BTW infact only dealers can. A tuning box will take a few minutes. Superchip will remove it and put it back a few times free. Id not go for a superchip though Renault dealers can tell the remaps in place and you dont want to imagine how much engine bits ie turbos are to replace if you need them repairing and the warently is invalid.

Turbos ~£700 probaly £800 for the 100dci one

sorry i meant tuing box not superchip.

yeah superchips are not as easy to remove as the tuning boxes.
