the pipes has no lips. simple cut at the end. i can't replace them now. the clamps are standard ones i guess.. not like mikaltor's. maybe i need to find different clamps. i'll go shopping next week and see what i can find.

at last i have some time to continue the work on the clio. I installed the intercooler pipes. However had 2 problems: 1. the diameter of the turbo pipe is 1.25", the pipes i am using are 2.5". I used a middle size tube and in order to seal it i used pieces from the silicon couplers. One of...

I've got the answers i needed (some from the internet, some from asking pros) Seems all applicable...

it turns out rubber is not good... the heat of the engine will dry it up. I tried 2 type of rubber tubes got from someone, and they where no good. so i ordered aluminium piping kit. will get it and install with it. three questions: 1. what is the typical (1.4bar) temperature in and out...

feingreth - you have a point. maybe i will take the tube in a completely different route - down and then together with the other tube in the same side. pgarner - 10x

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune I think the title of the thread should be "rasing power of clio 1.5dci" because the ECU thing is already done and finished. Anyway - I have a problem with the installation of the IC. First pictures: 1 - my lady 2,3 - IC 4,5,6,7 - open filter installation. now...

because i'm in the "doing" mode, or might one say "try and error", I am going to do it as i think it should be. And I checked for the reasons and asked experienced people. i think you are taking the petrol (benzine) engines as a refferance, and it is completely not the same in diesels...

MasterAuron - the stock turbo boosts 1.15bar, and it is normal for the dci engine. It is not like the common 0.7bar in petrol engines. Also note that i am looking for rubber pipes that where made specifically for IC connections. Steel for that matter is not good in diesel engines - it damages...

you want to do what i did (and still doing..). I too have a clio without IC. - i remapped it myself (risky - but i think i came with the best results so far) - installed EGT + BOOST gauges - replace the filter with the open-filter (mainly to get some room for the IC pipes) - bought an IC...

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune i am flattered.. a. my car is a turbo-diesel one. it is completely different from atmosphere-benzine b. the KWP2000 has a long list of supported cars. i almost sure yours in it. in order to be sure - look on the ecu under the hood and find the manufacturer and model...

you need to "remove" obstacles in order to get to the standard area (at mine it is near the battery). I simply removed the air box and used open-filter with a tube to there. a rubber tube is good. if you want to avoid what we call here "air intake delay" (and i am sure there's an english term...

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune ok - i have news.. after installing the EGT, and driving with and without the chip tune, here are the accurate results (all in kph, bar, celcius): stock : 0-100 in 14sec, 1.1 bar, egt max 550 degrees on full load at 170kph open filter: 0-100 in 13.5 sec, all the rest...

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune thanks, i will ask tomorrow for such discs. as for the gauges - i installed the turbo, and the EGT probe is reaching the place it should be mounted to but i didn't drill yet, so no EGT reading for now. and i am little confused. original chip - 1.1 bar max, with my...

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune tried but couldn't find the place for it. today i am going to the mechanic to drill and install the EGT probe, and i will let him find the way inside the car. any suggestions with good brand of brakes pads & disks ?

Re: Clio 1.5dci ECU Tune and question #2: where is the hole for wires from the sensors to the inside of the car (the path through the fire wall) ?
