Ds3 155thp .... What would you do ?

[Stevetdci]

So if the base model 155 wasn't enough what would you change on it, remap, exhaust... Suspension etc. I don't have a ds3 but its on my list of things to test drive, along with the mini ..... I like the looks and it's the right size for me.

Who's good in the way of tuning citroens ?

I'd stick far away from tuning the THP engine, they can be quite fragile at times.

Maybe if you gave us a list of things you're looking to do to it and we can point you in the right direction?

[Stevetdci]

I would be looking at sports cat, remap, panel filter and tweaking the suspension, changing the wheels and possibly messing with the anti roll bars. Depending on the turbo that may get changed. I'm also looking at cooper s's and am aware of the potential issues, of and I missed off the intercooler, target would be 210/220 bhp but very drivable

[ZACK]

There's loads you can do, nothing like the search box

[Stevetdci]

Search box ...... What's one of them

[Chris_Blue]

Sounds like a plan Steve- just nothing to its max (210 too much. rumours that Racings been tuned down to 203BHP)
You will get 11BHP with just a turbo back sports exhaust

[lfcrule1972]

Let us know what you think after the test drive

[Rickzayne]

remaps get it up to about 200bhp right..?

[ds3r]

Hi chris that's why mines not going in for the recall don't trust the dealers not going any where near them

[Chris_Blue]

Hi ds3r. so the rumour factory suggests, a slight reduction may prevent problems in the engine
but its all rumour- could be something entirely different

Rick- a THP155 Can get to over 200bhp and probably more than a Racing, if the exhaust is performance model (Adds 11bhp)
But then that 100+% power from the turbo, stresses all the other bits, including the clutch for starters!

Just my opinion

[Stevetdci]

Going to try and get a test drive at the weekend, both the mini and ds3 have the for and against ... I look after the fleet cars at work and we are all vw although we are looking at a relay van, the dealer I've been speaking to have offered to put me in touch with a citreon demo rather than the 5 minute local dealers offer. Still I need a large estate for a fundraising event so might abuse the demo offer to get something for that.

Is there much choice on suspension ? What's the effects on the ds3, does it make it too hard ?

Clutches are weak on vags, the Leon struggles with 300bhp

No faults with the suspension; isn't too harsh on long runs but you can easily get it to skip out a bit if you want it to when going hard enough.

[Chris_Blue]

Steve- what "tweaks" would you do to suspension. Alter OEM or new bits?

[Stevetdci]

I reckon either a set of springs or coilovers, I don't want to drop it on the floor, just sharpen it up, then possibly change the roll bars. It's not easy trying to find bits for ds3's

[Chris_Blue]

Same as me then- not roll bars for me tho. Just tightnening for the track
A few manufacturers do coilovers- When Bilstein get them sorted they are probly the kiddies
Quite a few do springs. 20mm lowest amount of lowereing (That's for me) but obvs not adjustable

You a DCI? Beats Den then LOL
