Superchip

[Blair182cup]

Hi everyone , well had her over a week now and getting the itch to do a wee bit tuning , not lookin for crazy h/pwr or that but what results can I expect from induction kit with good air supply , K tec ultra performance exhaust and de-cat section and was thinking super chip as I don't really wanna shell out 1k on k-tec Gen 90 ...could I expect a decent return for my £ with this set up ? Or anyone got a better idea what to go for as I said not chasing crazy bhp just looking for a bit more fun out her cheers for any reply or suggestions ....Bryan

Would prob spend up to £1100 this time round ....another wee question if I wanted a cam upgrade later would I have to change the super chip?

6-8bhp max!!! add cams and maybe 15bhp

"superchips" is a company. You want a good quality remap. If you changed to cams later on, you would need another remap to suit.

 

[steviet]

So, would a package of say, Inlets, Cams, Panel Filter and Remap to suit the mods be a good option without resorting to ITB's or FI??

 

[MartinR]

yep

 

[steviet]

Bet theres a well respected specialist on here that advertises such a thing...

LOL, hai

The cars have been around for a while, theres been a fair bit of research into what works and what doesnt, there is a good selection of well regarded people who offer their services, yet people still think tuning cars is as MaxPower used to describe it back in the 90's!!! I deliberately havent used the 'search function' response, but really, Superchips?? What next, Electric superchargers??

Chill out please, we are only trying to help.

Custom remap is your best bet, or maybe an RS tuner

Forget the Superchip mate, get a decent custom remap.

With around a grand budget I would get:

Some sort of stainless echaust (The standard one rusts away after 5 minutes) £350 ish
Matched inlet manifolds (The inlets come in 2 pieces and are rarely well matched) £160 ish
Clio Ph1 172 airbox (And silicone inlet elbow Danny x) - makes a good cheap upgrade - £60 ish 2nd hand
Custom remap - (NOT a chip) - £300-£400

With that lot, you should be somewhere around 170-175bhp. (As long as your cambelt timing is correct)

If you have any money left over, Id be sticking some better brake pads on too.


Personally, for a grand I would be fitting new brembo discs, decent pads, some good tyres and renewing any worn parts (bushes, shockers etc)

Cheers for the help much appreciated . Alliwas going with was super chips own website were they claim that alone gives 11 bhp , just wanted to ask around before going and wasting money cheers again

 

[Dan519]

LOL, you won't get that from a map. Their maps actully change very very little

Where in the country are you?

You expect the car to get less than the original spec after all those upgrades?! that make no sense...

you think a 182 makes 182bhp?

Are you new??

Pro tip/Insider secret/actually-quite-well-known-snippet: RS Clios don't really produce anything that close to 172/182 as standard.

EDIT 1: Well, I was a bit late to the party...

EDIT 2: Amazed at your postcount, there's a "let's all laugh at this ebay ad power claim" twice a day!

didnt help i was in 3rd like a complete nob lol... yeah but you hav bodies & cams.. just hope shes still good and strong after the "refresh" or should i say stronger

Most 172's make circa 165bhp mate, and 182's circa 170-175bhp

the 172/182 is in PS not bhp, and most don't make the standard figures anyway.
