ITB Clio's

[theademan]

Hi everyone,

Having previously owned a PH1 172 a few years back, I'm now looking to get back into the fold and am wanting to buy an RS Clio with Throttle Bodies (ITBs). However they appear to be like the proverbial rocking horse waste.


Cheers

Ademan

You not up for getting it done yourself? I havent looked into it but I would assume most that come up for sale with it already done will have priced it heavily into the sale?

Yeah that tends to be the case, wouldn't it be more fun to buy a ph1 (they can be picked up relatively cheap), and do the itb's yourself? Yeah might be a few man hours to achieve the end goal but you'll know it's be done to your own standards and you'll probably save quite a bit of money of the asking price - that's when one turns up.

Don't come up that often. There's an ITB kit for sale in the for sale section. Buy this, then buy a clio. Job done!

You'll need to pay your membership first though!

 

[Bazzon]

Most ITB'd cars end up been returned to standard and the ITB kit sold individually. They are worth more like this and the Kit is very easy to Fit/Remove so its easy enough.

The do come up for sale every so often though.

This is another path which I have considered, however would prefer to have one that is already built and proven to save a bit of time as I don't have a scooby about getting this set-up, ECU Mapping etc etc.

Plenty of very established specialsts on here that can help with fitting/mapping/setup etc.

RS Tuning, BTM, Tour-De-Force etc

Thanks for the advice, a PH1 would be nice with ITB's, might have to be done, as I only do 3/5k miles a year so could get a high miler.

I have been out of the loop for a while I can remember Yozzasport, Angelworks, K-Tec, GDI, are these guys still popular with Clio owners getting mods?

Basically have 6k to spend and would like 200BHP + so am looking for a Clio with throttles and cams.

You could almost pick up a cheap ph1 and have it supercharged for that dude!!!

 

[Tony Hunter]

You do not need cams to reach the 200bhp target just ITB's

6k, forget ITB's then you need a Supercharger in your life and you'll still have 2k left over, could even use that to forge the bottom end and aim for well in the 300's.

Have a hunt for some of the vids.

As for the tuners have a search there has been a few changes
