DCI CLIO MK3 1.5 tuned to 110

[Daytones]

Morning Gang,

Just wanted to Post my Beaut Clio, Been a while since I last subscribed here but Decided to join again as I have a passion for my Clios, Wanting to Update and Mod Maybe make it look like a GT, just ordered some GT alloys from Fleabay.

Q. how rare is my clio to have full matching leather seats, I have only ever found cars with half leather but Deffo not matching?

Welcome!

Never seen a mk3 with matched leather - and especially with leather doorcards.

Has it been mapped?

 

[Daytones]

Many thanks
Yea its an odd one for sure, tried looking for the brochure for when it was on sale to see if it was even an option, Deffo not seat covers either I have checked
Yea I got it mapped was original 88? now should be pushing 110 but not done running road yet. doing some other things. wondering how much I can push it.

@HMS Derv Destroyer knows a bit about the tuning potential on these I think?
Not sure how much further you can push them without some serious wedge - and at that point, you're better of getting a more powerful car (Megane 175 DCI for example).

There's loads of Mk3 threads though if you search the forum. Visually you can do things like get the door bullets off the 197/ 200 models, and the steering wheel insert too.
Spray the interior trim, spacers, wheels, lowering springs/ coilovers.

Yea, I know they will be a hard limit on the push, going from 88 to 110 didn't feel like much but then again its not a whole big difference, But if i get the appearance looking nice i will be fine.

Just getting my Solonia Alloys today, as currently repping some horrid Mk2 allows that the dealership must of put on for some obscure reason, then maybe ill lower and thinking of getting a PH2 Bumper on front.

130 is about the top end of those engines, without serious $$$$$$$$$, isnit?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

You can just about push those mk3. Engines past 130hp, BUT that's properly maxing out the duty cycle on injectors. Siemens system I think on the 88hp.

Still , someone who knows what they're mapping , can make a massive amount more of torque over standard. Not pull you teeth out torque but enough

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Dci 175 is the wingers choice IMO , just wish the pump setup on the dci engine was retro fittable with other types. Would help get more power. I'm still sure the actuall bare engine can handle more

if you didn't notice much difference after the remap then its not running 110bhp, as any map getting good power figures like that would be giving good torque gains. My 14 plate DCi90 should be around 110hp and the car is night and day compared to before or against our 2016 one!

full leather is very rare option on that, ive seen a GT with it! probably £1000 extra!

Kinda like the interior. Rare.
