Pushing Horses



  Renault Clio 3 sport,
Hi every 1

I own a 197 clio sport and with every power hungry SOB i want to push up the Hp. Is there any approved mods that any one can help me with?

I recently put my car on the dino and it is on 149Kw if there is any advice please dont be shy!!!!

  Whichever has fuel
Wouldn't bother tbh. Its tuned right at the top of its ability to start with.

An exhaust/filter/remap may see you gain 10bhp or so but will only really improve driveability.

My renault dealer did some diging and was told by head office that the 197 motor is good up to 200kw....:eek: dont know how true that statement is but thanx for the advice:)

i'd go the air filter route first, then maybe exhaust and as a last thing a remap.

is there any sugestion on makes....There is some avalible options as a software upgrade but i worry about breakin the motor and losin my factory coverage...
 
  Renault Clio 3 sport,
Isnt there some kind of chip that can just be instaled and thats it....Maybe when my warranty runs out i will go the turbo route but what till then....because of my location (Johannesburg South Africa) the altitude is killing my normal motor, I just got back from vacation at our south coast and my cars peformans was absolutely diabolic and now i whan to recreate that feeling...
 
jsut a chip will do very little to the 197 as its already so highly tuned and there is little to gain on NA engines anyway. To make any siginificant improvement is over £1000

i'd probably look elsewhere like the bigger brakes, suspension etc. they might have you in a straight line but you'll be able to brake later than them lol.

Shouldnt need to touch the brakes as you dont need need more stopping power then the OE Brembo four pots !!
