dci owners????

[adriean]

who has a dci and has done any modifications to it...engine wise...bodykit..etc..???

A few guys on here the 80bhp one is the way to go you can remam it to around 110 bhp

I have a dci 65 with 126bhp

there are lots of mods you can have on a dci engine

Remap definately worth it, anything else depends really on whether you want to or not. Nothing else will make nearly as big an increase.

I have a SS exhaust which imo definately improved economy, though I don't have any hard proof on this as it was simply based on the drive to and from getting it done (although it was tied in with a day out and was a few hundred miles so not just a drive up the road).

Also have a K&N filter, and you can argue that it doesn't do much performance wise, but performance wise I think the standard air box is a bit of a joke... So you may aswell get an induction kit if you want to mess with that. The re-usable factor was on the cards for me, but after you've cleaned an air filter a few times you begin to wish you'd stuck with the paper filters.

Remap is the best optin on the DCi's

Isnt there a DCi 100? that should be a good one as well?

There is but it has a crap box

 

[Turner]

They used a different box on the dci80 and dci100 why would they do that on same ph car?

 

[ROSS18]

I dont know its a laguna box i think

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I forget the code for the dCi 100 box, it's on a Laguna too, but all the people that deal with them on here seem to agree it'd be more reliable to use lego parts in a gearbox.

The box in the 80 is the same as in the Renaultsport 1*2's. Which most will still agree is pretty crap, but definately better than the one in the 100.

[adriean]

You'd hav to travel for it but RS Tuning in leeds will sort you nicely. Bear in mind that if u get the 65 or the 80, a simple remap won't get you 125bhp - like in the case of my 100 for example. But if uve got the will then u can upgrade the intercooler to a 100 spec one, altho i beleive the 100 hav uprated variable geo turbo too. Had my dci 100 mapped (they're not actually 100 bhp more like 96-98) but mines doin about 125bhp atm. Interestingly i unplugged the EGR valve harness & its SIGNIFICANTLY more responsive and powerful in all the gears. The turbo comes on with more urgency & even tho self timed runs aren't that accurate last nite on a flat bit of road i timed 0-60 in 7.1 secs, 0-90 in 16 secs & 0-100 in 20.8, each with a great deal of wheel spin thru 1st 2nd and 3rd.

Hope that helps

what mpg do you still get? with it mapped to 125bhp

 

[Sparky1983]

what mpg do you still get? with it mapped to 125bhp

Depends how i drive it tbh when i first got it mapped i experimented with different driving styles per tank full & returned 65mpg driving carefully & 52 when thrashing it all the time

I can easily keep up with standard 106 gtis while gettin double the fuel return, back of net!

 

[Martin_172]

want 1 ^ lol i get 28mpg average

It doens't make the car any more powerful unless you've a Faulty EGR unit.
