difference

[col72]

what the difference between a 65 80 and 100 bhp clio

 

[D4N13L]

15 and 20 bhp!

lol, ask a silly question, and you get a silly answer!

Seriously though, what do you mean?!

 

[col72]

what have they added to each engine to get more bhp or is it just remapped

 

[davebem]

The dci 65 has a small turbo and no intercoller, the 80 runs a bit more turbo boost and has intercooler and different injectors. dci 80 also has a better gearbox similar to 172. The dci 100 has uprated turbo, injectors, intercooler, pistons, different intake but a crap gearbox.

How do you mean by crap gearbox?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Supposedly weaker than the other diesel ones.

In all honestly never read about one needing replaced.

I thought all Clio gearboxes were garbage including 1*2's?

It's the sole reason a friend of mine won't bite the bullet and buy a 172.

It's just remapped. You can buy a 65 and then for £300 get the same car that costed a few grand more..

Plenty of threads on here detailing differences on all the models including dci's.

Relatively speaking they're not great!

The DCI 80 uses the same box as the 172, just with longer ratios.

Oooh, link?

Would have thought the ratios would be shorter...?

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

Shorter ratios mean less top speed, better acceleration. Higher the number (as a ratio to 1) the shorter the gear.

The DCI's only rev to 4.5-5k rpm. If they had the same ratios as a 172 they wouldn't even be able to hit 100mph in top gear. So longer/taller gears are needed.

That would mean me searching, which is something you can do just as easily

 

[st3ve]

I don't know what to search for.

Seeing as they only need about 5k I assumed the ratios would be shorter but I see what you mean due to them having less power they need more time to build the speed.

I notice you're on a posting mission dynamique

 

[st3ve]

*for you Tucker*

Sorry for double post

It's all on topic isn't it?

 

[davebem]

search for "dci differences" and tick the search thread titles and have a read through. Theres a few in the trade that dread the dci100 gearbox, theres been one or 2 posts on here with members that have had problems. To be honest the dci100s are quite rare. You can buy a dci 65 and get it mapped to around 80hp, the gearbox is very similar iirc. Im sures theres a few that have fitted a intercooler too.
