Got the clio superchipped!

[Johnny_52]

Got it done yesterday. Not so much a chip, it is more a RE-MAP. Feels good, bit more power at low revs. The cost, is it worth it??? Still not sure? but it does feel more drive-able. Ill get it round the track soon and make sure it has done the job!

 

[Fred@BTM]

done by whom???

whats the rev limit at???

 

[Floodie]

Mines Schipped - feels great, but never known it normal... Maybe my (almost) 8k redline was what blew my old engine up

Ive wondered about chipping my 182. More low down power sounds good, top ends OK anyway.

Any obvious effect on mpg?

If you go for the R-Sport ECU youll get better MPG IIRC.

r-sport wont get you better mpg as the pedal only works either fully down or fully up

It seemed to make the difference on my mates standard 172 anyways, well worth the money IMO.

What other engine mods have you got mate?

 

[16v_jon]

hill power ported inlet manifold, piper cams, decat , ecu, viper no power steering or aircon (makes it a little faster!) decat and full exhaust . not r/r yet as i crashed on the way to the lasts rolling road!

[16v_jon]

^^^ and your point is?

 

[Griff]

Its a bit extreme to remove the power steering.

Out of interest is this a 172 or a 1.2 were talking about?

 

[16v_jon]

1.2 with 172 conversion , i have the electronic power steering working now and i didnt crash coz i had no power steering i crashed because my front wheel fell off

So quite a few mods then, what do you expect to get on the rollers with that lot then? 180/185ish at the fly?

dont know at the moment im just glad its working i have the worse luck with this conversion ... loads of stuff gone wrong! not bothered about bhp more interested in quarter mile times got 14.9 with a brandnew engine and just viper and exhaust

Not bad at all!

It also helps that its in the 1.2 shell too eh?

The rev limit has not been changed, could have got it set at 8k but would not risk it. The starter motor gave up this morning Have it booked in renault for warranty to sort this. Lets hope nothing else goes wrong with it. The S/Chip was done in N.Ireland.

Shells are the same mate most bits are the same on the 1.2 as the 2 litre only difference is a sunroof
