Step by step engine modifications.


What would be your next engine modifications to increase Torque and BHP if it had Stg 1 breathing mods, airfilter and exhaust fitted.

[MartinR]

Bucket mod

 

[Craigus]

Stage 2: Add turbo.

 

[Goodj]

Stage 2.5 MepalTec package:-

CS Bucket mod
Removal of rev limit
removal of catalyst, centre section and back box
eBay power-boost chip

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lol, I think people are hinting you might want to try a search as it gets asked all the time.

Different inlet (ITBs or RS2 for example) are popular choices that work well.
Hotter cams are well worth doing.
Forced induction is going to give best results though as with any N/A engine really.

 

[Goodj]

Dyson intake FTW.

the extra alternator drag is more than offset by the ram-air effect if IIRC correctly

 

[IWANT1.]

Thanks Chip I know was hoping for some sensible answers iam on my 3rd clio now (will be by the weekend hopefully anyway) Ive had M3's evo's and scoobys but still love the clios don’t really have time to read thousands of different threads on differnt forums was hoping for some decent replies seeing how much time people have on here!!!!!!!!!!!! Turbo isnt an option.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Do you have a budget in mind, that might help us to advise you better?

 

[MartinR]

type engine modifications in the search box

 

[IWANT1.]

Site would be very boaring if you cant ask questions!

“engine modifications” Have you actual tried that, plenty of crap to fillter before you find any decent info!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Or if people ask such vague questions they are hard to usefully answer.

What is your approx budget?

 

[IWANT1.]

No set budget really, money isnt the issue its choosing the right mods ££ must make a decent difference. So its stays sensible say 1K-1.5

Iam already thinking RS tuner, cams n pulleys, but know vey little about the RS2 etc.

Engine must stay externally standard looking, no throttle bodies/turbos etc.

Why?

 

[Bren Rogers]

For that budget you may just squeeze in cams and a proper remap.

So you're basically saying you are willing to piss away a load of money on your car without doing the proper research?

If you want it to stay looking standard, its a no-brainer really, set of hot cams and a remap, job done.

??? What difference does that make? As above, leaves you with cams and a remap. Unless you want to go overboard with high comp internals

Its also very boring with people asking the same questions day in day out!!

As said by chip cams and remap but for the sake of what 15bhp not worth it imo for the cost of doing it!

WTF I only asked a simple question people cant be bothered to answer it but happy to b**ch!
People only post advice.

 

[IWANT1.]

£500 for cams

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clio-Spor...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19cef43ff3

£300 for remap?????????

 

[Goodj]

Still concerned about why add mods must be stealth.

OP, I'm presuming you intend to declare all these sik modz on your insurance?

 

[SymonSi84]

New exhaust, V6 airbox, Fastchip map. Happy with that.

 

[IWANT1.]

And v pulleys!

 

[Craigus]

You bought the wrong car.

 

[IWANT1.]

^^^^^^^^

???????????

 

[mr.pink87]

If money isn't a problem and stealthy looks are required, i'd go for a forged/hi-comp bottom end, fully reworked cylinder head and inlets, hot cams, exhaust and airbox. Say byebye to 4 grand at least, say hello to 200-210bhp.

 

[Laine_16v]

Wouldnt bother with the RS2. Ktec 438's leave the RS2 dead in the water.

 

[Craigus]

???????????

If you want decent power gains, and forced induction isn't an option you have bought the wrong car.

Thanks some decent info to get "searching" now.

Really?

 

[Bren Rogers]

RS engine is already a relatively highly tuned engine out of the box. There isn't much you can do without spending big money to see reasonable returns.

lol cool flamebait br0

 

[mr.pink87]

No need for this debate again. He wants to run a standard-looking inlet.

 

[MartinR]

NOS

 

[Laine_16v]

lol cool flamebait br0

i do try

Struggling to find these for sale!

Here you go!

 

[Craigus]

Do some research FFS. Why should we link you to everything and tell you exactly what to do. If you had done some research maybe you would have learned that you can't get massive gains form these engines without spending more than the car is worth.

Y dont U FO??????????

 

[Craigus]

Nice one.

Maybe you should stick with the scooby, you would fit right in on that forum.

I'd go for BTM's new GT Cams, when mapped your talking over 190bhp. Soon as I get some disposable income its the first place I'm going.
