Make clio 1.2 8v faster!!!??

[Aston Hamer]

I want to make my standard 12 8v faster , just had new clutch and full service, just ordered a k&n filter for airbox and want to know what else will make a difference? Straight through pipe decat?

I know the benefits will be next to nothing but hey ho i want to try aha,
so Please don't comment if you are just going to say what is the point?, or save up for another car?

strip the car and yourself

Engine conversion

Without spending loads it would be easier to engine swap or buy a 1*2

That aside you wont get much power from exhaust and induction so may aswell get a decent suspension setup and strip the rear out

 

[Martin_172]

Turbo!!

 

[m4tt274]

totally strip it out so there is just your drivers seat and the dash.
With such low power it makes a remarkable difference.

 

[DanEdser]

Strip interior. Decat will just make it run really rough and might even induce flat spots.

Or put a 172 engine in it.

Fit a tow rope to the front.

As long as you know its a pointless exercise

This.. i stripped my 1.2 and it actually made a fair difference! I left the passenger seat in though.

But really, instead of spending money on power and gaining nothing you could buy some decent tyres and suspension and make it handle alot better. It will be quicker through the corners etc that way!

Find the nearest steep descent. Preferably with a tail wind.

Engine change it is then if you want to utilise such a mod.

 

[Harbinger]

If he contacts Renault I'm sure they do it as part of the recall, upgrades the 1.2 to 172 Power straight away iirc.

True, he'll needs some over night parts from Japan then.

 

[Martin_172]

[Advikaz]

Nothing cheap will make any difference, apart from that its just an engine and will respond to normal tuning techniques, and although you don't want to hear it a 172 would cost less.
