Come on then, Un-touched Clio 1.2

[Jawnathan]

Come on then guys tell me what I can do to increase the performance on my 1.2 clio dynamique.

Basically I would like to increase the 0-60 time and the fuel economy at 70-80mph as the most important options.

p.s Buying another car is not a decent answer

 

[cliosportcraig]

buy a decent car

Exhaust, sealed induction kit, chip

 

[Jawnathan]

TBH i have been repaying car payments on various cars for the last 5 years nearly, and I when I have finshed paying for this in about a years time I should have an extra £350 per month in my account and I fancy having that for a while lol

 

[Jawnathan]

How much extra power roughly would those 3 items give me? the Chip is the expensive one as well of the 3 isnt it.

 

[cliosportcraig]

exhaust 7-14 BHP, sealed IK like a BMC CDA 4 - 10 BHP, Chip 6 - 12 BHP !! Most probably the lowest of those figures and you cant just add all that up.

Fred has a K-tec exhaust and a pipercross IK and has a fast little 1.2 !!

 

[Jawnathan]

Are the bits fairly easy to fit?



i.e could I do it myself or with a friend who is rather weird, she can strip an engine down but ask her to find the fridge in a kitchen and shes stumped, lovely arse though

 

[cliosportcraig]

Exhaust - better off getting the seller to fit it as theyll give a guarentee with the exhaust and the work ( K-tec are quite good )

Sealed IK - Childs play

Chip - Easy if you know where it is

 

[Jawnathan]

Excellent stuff, although look out for my future thread called **** HELP I HAVE FOOKED ME CLIO UP ****



cheers

 

[cliosportcraig]

Best mods would have to bve a strip out of the car for any excess weight.

Bigger diamter wheels would help by lowering your revs on the motorway you may have to drop down a gear more often though. Your speedo will be inacurate but youll be able to do more mph per gear.

Otherwise stick a few bits of carpet behind the accelerator should help you get some more MPG

[Fred@BTM]

No one does a chip for the 1.2 16V (really no point!!!) You could go for a Dastek, but £500+ i think not!!!!!

K-tec /hill power relocation are the best!!! simple!!! (viper on a 1.2 16V is ok, but £250!!!!! Christ almighty!!!!)

CAT back exhaust helps things too

CRAIG your power increase figures are slightly "generous!!!"



Relocation + CAT back = 11bhp gain @ fly

 

[RobFenn]

Hillpower recommend a new fuel pressure regulator whenever you add a filter as the car will run quite lean..

Was standard and modded measured on the same rolling road?
