So, if I did have one it wouldn't be left standard!
DCI 100's seem rare and expensive
DCI 80 seems a good option and I've read a little about the gearboxes are better than the 100's? How so?
I'd want a remap obviously... what power can I expect from either model? Whats the differences mechanically between the 65, 80, 100? Different turbo's? ECU mapping? Intercoolers (if they have them?) etc?
Personaly I'd leave it standard there not cheap to fix injectors are £200 each plus only a renault computer/dealership can program them to the car fuel pumps are £300.
100 are rare and I don't rate the gearboxes I'd have the 80 instead.
Boxes are nicer to use and are more reliably on the 65 and 80's though the 100 uses a later type box which is a bit rubish.
65 model about 80~85hp
80 about 105hp
100 about 120hp.
Mappers cna get more or less though you can get near enough 100hp from a 65 but life span and wear and smoke are big plus most mappers won't do it.
Differences are well do a search basically
65 no intercooler
80 has bigger injectors an intercooler (FMIC altough not as good as the 100's one) and a turbo with slightly higher boost pressure (0.1 bar)
100 has different high pressure fuel pump injectorsa are repuated the same checking renault computer but I don'tthink they are original the same. intercooler as mentined above and different turbo with slightly more boost (0.15 bar reputed)
Bottem end bits are stonger as well.
It'd have to be done. Been chatting to a mate who had a 65 and he said he got like 720 miles from 40 quid.. I can get 280 if I'm REALLLLYYY lucky! lol...
What scope for mods are there? Any need to uprate intercooler etc? Bigger turbos? Or just play sensible with a remap, maybe a free-er flowing exhaust?
thats superb mpg he would have to be driving carefuly 55~60mpg is more normal depend how you drive etc I've seen 29mpg and 85mpg before now.
Mods are a bit low on the ground remaps are the big thing there a K and N out.
Oh really? I haven't had any problems yet but only done 30000miles. Should I be worried?
Depends not much you can do is there?
my wife bought a new 65bhp dci in september and averages 63mpg its nippy enough but around town but on motorways lacks power, friend just sold his ford racing puma for a dci 80bhp it has a bit more poke and different cooler, i think the 80bhp offers best value for money and should take the extra power better from a map.
80 has an intercooler the 65 doens't. The 80 doens't take extra power better though its just got different bits so starting at higher power.
about remaps,
dci65 will get you 80-90bhp
dci80 " " " 100-112bhp
dci100 " " " 125-135bhp
dci65 has different injectors than the other two, dci80&100 have the same injectors.
all have delphi common rail pumps, which gives respectivly 1400-1600 and 1800 bar.
1400 bar on the 65 and 80
1600 bar on the 100
Those remap values are a bit high though IMO.
Ive read sum people takin the piss out of the gearbox on here. Ive done 20,000 problem free miles with mine up2 nw, so i definately wouldnt advise anyone to settle for an 80, because there is a few rumours of problems on the 100. Most cars have problems, i had a bmw mini that had to have a brand new gearbox at 15,000mile!!
On the modding side of things, there doesnt seem to be alot available for dci's. U can get the usual exhaust, dump valve,filter, remap/box. The biggest power hikes seem to be with the remaps. Ive been told, anything else (ie>intercoolers,turbos etc)has to be custom made, which equals big bucks!!
The only other thing i wanted make people aware of,is 100s have discs on the back too. Not sure how relevant this is to people, and what other clios hav them (apart from the rs's,obviously)
Some 80's have the rear disks.
You've done 20k so no insult meant but that not exactly mega miles or experiance on the gearbox. All cars have isues yep but the 100 box has more than it fair share. Its not rumours about gearbox issues though.
Dump valves do nothing on the cars its a chav thing only.
mines steathy no dci branding
its ture 80s dont have rear discs even the mk3 dci86 doesnt depending on trim
Some 80's Mk2 phase 2 do.
My sis has a Dynamique S 106, very nippy + lots of features like push button start etc etc
Yep the 106 has the new TL4 gearbox as well.
