Why?
Actually it's quite cheap, here's a good seller for 1.2 turbos:

Thanks for all of your reply's
, another few questions i was hoping you guys could answer 1) what other mods can i do on the engine to ether gain a bit more power or increase the performance ?
2) what kind of body mods can i do ? iv heard about grills ? cant find any on ebay though , i dont know what the (upgraded) grills would be from ?
3) what are the main things i should do to the car as FIRST mods ?
i know most of the questions are being asked in the wrong section but was hoping you guys could help
The D7F engine really isn't worth modifying, the only thing I did to mine was put a K&N 57i on which will not add power, but will make a really good noise at full throttle. As above, a good set of tyres is the best performance modification you can do.
The grilles you've heard about are for Phase 2's, as your car is a 1998 car it must be a Phase 1, which don't really have grilles. Dual optic headlights, phase 2 tail lights and the 172/cup/trophy spoilers are all pretty much straight swaps (but for the dual optics you'll have to alter the wiring slightly, there's a guide on here, and for a trophy spoiler you'll need shorter boot struts to stop the spoiler whacking the roof)
Other than that, have a look through the non sport thread, generally look through CS and decide what you like.

Is that a technical term McPickle? LOL.
What the f**k are you on about.
The part where you said if you fit an induction kit it'll 'make a really good noise' - sorry if that wasn't clear enough for you, Dad wake you up to early today, prince ?
Induction noise sounds good. Problem?
Lols. Sounds better than the sewing machine that is a standard D7F. And it certainly beats putting a s**t exhaust on.

1) nothing
2) 172/182 grill
3) tyres, coilovers, brakes. Save for a faster car
If he's got a 98 1.2 then it's a PH1, so no 1*2 grills. :rasp:
Turboing the car would be like
Your best bet is learning to drive better. The best mod you can do (as echo'd) is a decent set of tyres and get practising on your heel-toeing and rev-matching. At least in a 1.2 you're going slow enough for it not to matter (much) if you f**k it up.

I've got a Mark 3 TCE and that's modified to its maximum without a bigger OEM turbo etc (Was already turbo when I picked it up as Renault released TCE versions to deal with the s**t pull the standard 1.2 16v's had). With that engine you will never be able to put a large turbo on it or you'll need upgraded internals or you can have a fun time watching a piston fly through your bonnet.
You can do it, but only an ECO turbo probably or if you did put a larger one on then the only benefit is that you can hold the torque curve better but not necessarily more power. About 120-130BHP from a 1.2 if setup correctly. Turbo Yooooda!
Well well:

Here's a 1.0l producing 120BHP!

^ 130bhp, you will get another 20bhp out that before you need to worry about a bigger turbo

Not when its on finance
Not interested in paying £95 a month for a blown car. The current turbo is the size of a wheel nut mate and the torque drop off I get is unbelievable. Will put a project up when the car has done 50k miles and I've paid the thing off haha.

130bhp standard injectors? ohh god I think ive guessed!!
130BHP 172/182 injectors

ah not the dreaded ktec then! seems a bit low power for rstuning?
You guessed right the first time. RSTuning is too far out of my way.

thought you didn't want to blow it up? lol
Running sweet so far. Needs to go back down though due to MAF targets being too low. Free fix of course. Lovely pull and you can definitely feel the turbo cutting in fast. Unfortunately due to it being the size of a wheel nut it can't give out any more torque and it just drops off as the engine RPM goes up. Becomes N/A feeling around 5,000 RPM.

that's the benefit of a turbo car though ive never got mine above 5000rpm!
No need to really. They become s**t over 5K anyway really pointless to keep running it over. 4.5-5K should be your change. I get 55MPG on a run after the map and 40MPG before. My Extra Urban driving MPG is 40MPG too. Drinks when its ragged though.

I find your best to keep going till 5k if your really going for it as you get the overboost at 4.5k but when just making quick progress 3500-4000rpm is more than enough!
My overboost protection kicks in at 4.5K anyway, can't be used at the moment. Thats why I need to go back down, it freezes the RPM at 3,000 and I can't do anything until I key off and key on again.
