chr15_7_t_ Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 hi mate welcome to the site .unfortunetly u cant map the standard ecu u have to go for aftermarket ecu for that kind of stuf.first thing i got told was to get a filter relocation kit so it can breath lol then a free flowing manifold and a decat pipe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep82auto Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 thanks guys!what mod would you do first? decat? air-intake? whats the most restricive parts on the ep82?me friend has a 2000 plate clio 172 sport, quick little car too!but im sure with a few mods ill be well in front. what do you lot do for traction when upping bhp and boost.im having trouble keeping 133bhp in a auto down on the tarmac in damp conditions. OK in dry but im sure if i reach what im looking for around 165bhp in a car weights less than 800kg traction will be a problem.where as my friends clio 172 sport running around 185bhp traction is handleable.cheers dale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chr15_7_t_ Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 manifold decat and filter relocation as i said should be your first 3 easy mods as for your traction question i couldnt anser that sorry..but sumone on here will be able to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriswoodfto Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 your anitlift kit is the best way to go to het a little more traction, im just trying to find one at the right price. my manual V with a few mods will spin 1st,2nd and 3rd if its really wet. in the dry just 1st and 2nd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukEp Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 If its still on the standard actuator uprate it as it will make a big difference esp on the motorway and speeds above 50-60mph as the standard one is PANTS! hks adjustable one set to 9-10psi will give you a huge difference without hitting fuel cut and it will pull all the way to red line best mod i've done so far on my autoluke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep82auto Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Back that up with an adjustable fuel regulator and FCD before turning the boost thanks jay, could you tell me what a FCD is and where to get one from?regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
