non sport engine mods. what have you done

[Scrooge]

Non sport owners what even mods have you done? We alwasy see the usual with the sports but what with the diesels,1.2,1.4. And 1.6s? Not just performance but presentation aswell. Pics would be nice

 

[Poopensharten]

Engine mods on even a 2.0 1*2 is a pointless venture unless your willing to throw a serious amount of cash at it.

Cubic Capacity is king

 

[Scrooge]

Remap and decat on my dci is far from pointless. The reason I'm asking is because not many people do but when they do they sometimes go to town with it and I wanna see

The 12.2s quarter miles your running in the DC-Aye-Thatll-be-right?

You're very aggressive aren't you.

But seriously there isnt really any point doing engine mods unless you sticking a Turbo, S/C or TB's on, and even then on a non sport is it worth it??
Think if i had a non-sport or a sport i would be putting some coilovers on, (which i dont need to as i have a Trophy), and some decent disks and pads + braided lines, (which the Trophy is getting next week ).
Ive seen a good set up 1.6, i.e. good suspension and brakes, keep up with a 172 on a track no probs.
As for looks im always in the opinion of keep it standard, sleeper.

Who said anything about quarter miles I couldn't give a fook bout that. I asked a simple question, I didn't ask for stupid sarcastic comments you f**king sigh. To danel no that wasn't aggressive just asking.

 

[Bluebeard]

FLOL!! You?? Not aggressive??

Too much sugar in your diet son.

Yes I know there isn't much point some people do though and its interesting to see, and its nice to see how some people have tidied up their engine bays

Just winds me up I'm only asking I would never bung a bigger turbo or anything stupid like that but some people do and its nice to see what they have done and how much effort it involves. Its not like I'm asking if I should do things like it. I just know some people do and and would like to see it

Tbh, sarcasm is all i can offer you at this time of night/morning dependant on how many sugars you take in your tea.

If you were closer id offer you a back rub and a rendition of Mandy by Barry Manilow if your that way inclined.

[Scrooge]

Well there are s**t loads of decent looking non sports so surely they can't all look like dog s**t under the bonnet. Sorry to danny 172 I'm grouchy this time of night, should have known better than to start a threadat this time

No need to apologise matey its banter, all good

 

[AhmedRSi]

I've got a pipercross viper and a prospeed cat-back on mine. (k4m 1.6 16v)

Feels much better, but dont expect it to transform your car

clio dci
* remap by derv doctor
* dump valve
*172 suspension/ brakes/ hubs/ shafts / wishbones
*lowered 40mm ( i think )
*rear strut brace
*induction kit
*boost gauge
*15's cant remember make
*172 front seats
*172 door cards
* silver indicator bulbs
*silver clocks / dash strips
* audio stuff think thats about it

 

[Tav]

Now if there were a 1400, 1600 or 1800 Clio that had a short stroke engine it could make a good base for a competition car...I'm clueless when it comes to Clio bore vs. stroke. A 1400 revving to 9krpm on throttle bodies would be great...but if it's got a long stroke it's not going to happen

Sounds good any pics engine bay with induction kit on and what not? Have you manage to place the induction in a decent place without it getting too much heatsoak? I really struggled with mine

 

[Poopensharten]

I always think that unless you have a direct air feed i.e a false fog/spot light then heatsoak is always going to be an issue...?

I have one one my 106 GTi and tbh having not had it RR or anything theres no way to tell? Sure it makes it sound nice but real world gains...?

 

[Scrooge]

Mine was on and off the rollers a lot and yep I have two cold air feeds and the cones goes right down behind the headlight, dci's have restrictive air feeds anyway so any change usually helps,not much but every little helps

What does your DCi book at and what (if any) gains were made or lost mate?

 

[Scrooge]

What does your DCi book at and what (if any) gains were made or lost mate?

Starts at 80 from factory but rr'd at 78 remapped to 115, then with the induction and decat 122bhp just under 2 from the induction kit so nothing to shout about just felt better.with heatsoak it was loosing 1 or 2hp

 

[Poopensharten]

I gather this is the 1.5 DCi engine variant? Thats fair gains there, you generally find that diesels across the board respond better to remaps regarding torque and mid range acceleration.

Yep just the 1.5dci lump the good things is the torque and the bhp doesn't just sharply peak then fall they are pretty consistent throughout the rev range that's why even at 80bhp the seem fairly nippy.

Shame the clutch can't handle much more torque otherwise bigger injectors and turbo would be nice as you can pick both up cheap. Bought a focus tdci intercooler last week for a tenner so may put that on soon,might look after the turbo better

 

[Poopensharten]

Very good mate, theres always going to be limitations as to what can be done.

My old boys a mechanic/engineer and as i said the same as you he always said theres no substitute for cubic capcity.

Theres eye for individuality though

 

[Scrooge]

Your old man is right mate but weight,brakes and suspension is also helpfull I got front and rear strut brace,combrake top mounts eibachs, poly bushes up front for wishbones and anit roll bar and black diamond brakes. Also took spare tyre,tools and isofix bar out the back now my little tractor punches quite abit above its weight. At the moment I'm finishing a triumph stag 3.0 v8 s**t performance tho but its 1972 and not really for performance sounds the muts nuts tho!!!

 

[Poopensharten]

Fair play mate sounds like you know what your doing

I only try mate, its the group 4 insurance, the £35 a year road tax and 65MPG which makes it worthwhile throwing money at it till next april and 320d or 325 are possible

 

[Vicky.]

Here's mine, it's also remapped and now has an alloy header tank.

 

[Hutchie]

k4m on fireblade itb's
demel ported/flowed head
custom inlet manifold
172 exhaust manifold
decat
standalone management


and cams are coming

 

[BenMc]

i just got a filter with a cold air intake only a daft rigged one at the mo like and ive got one of those ecotek valves some say they dont work....they do...

 

[Martin_172]

my dci is going in for an RS Tuning remap, 130bhp & 190lb/ft, more if i can get an uprated clutch.

that will make it a VERY capable car considering £35 a year roadtax, £300 a year insurance fully comp and 55mpg!

Did it start as the 80 or 100,what else have you done to it?

Hutchie that's the kinda thing I wanted to see brilliant work what are your expected gains and what not?

Vicky very nice looking bay you got there is the car all sorted now then?

 

[Hutchie]

with cams im looking for 160bhp but will be happy with what ever i get as it pulls lovely atm and not propperly mapped
