[Rossy197]

Hi all...

Yeah seen them but too wanna i get mine done so i suppose taking there car (K-Tec's) for a rip will be a bit easier than asking someone off of here to see if i can drive theres, I know its close nit on here and stuff which is cool but i really wouldnt wanna drive someones pride and joy and smash it up lol

 

[Craig]

I've not driven the turbo, but i had a good look around the 172 on itb's, i love the noise that thing makes.

To be honest my mate has an R33 GTR (for sale) which is quick as but honestly the thought of 300bhp to the front wheels in something the size of an old peoples buggy really floates my boat

should be a beasty, what sort of power you looking to achieve? 250hp+?

Dunno... I wont be getting mine done until at least the summer as it aint cheap. Stage one they say puts it up to 260bhp ( £5,974.25) !

stage 2 takes it up to around 300bhp but they got no price for that.. I'll prob go for the 260bhp conv and take it from there, not bad considering i wanted to keep the bloody thing standard lol !

 

[jayxx83]

yeah just make sure you get on top of the handling and brake upgrades. dont want to go straight off

I think thats what the stage 2 kit consists of.. Brakes and stuff plus extras.. gonna be rapido i think lol

 

[drhowser]

have you thought about supercharging?

 

[Rossy197]

have you thought about supercharging?

No not really as i havent seen any kits.. Must admit i havent looked that hard so any links/prices etc would be appreciated.. Ta fella

 

[drhowser]

i don't have any links, but rs tuning/angelworks have one kit, and gdi have one too.

neither is 100% finished, but they are close. if you have a search on here there are a few details.

[clio-172-Turbo]

Sounds mint !

Yeah..was a 260Bhp Conversion..but was dynoed at 272bhp....249lb Torque...She is back there at the mo for the 300Bhp Kit...all Ready for Surrey RRoad day on the 31st......I'm Running Ceramic disc's and pad's alround...all Anti roll bar bushes are now polly..plus the Engine Stabilzer's..Braided Brake line's...etc..and more!!!


P.S......Wot Gearbox is that dci80 From???

 

[drhowser]

clio dci80. it's a diesel clio.

i'm 90% sure it has a jc5 box, but longer ratios.

Cool...should it just bolt in??

 

[drhowser]

if it's a jc5 (i'm pretty sure it is) it is exactly the same casing.

Bit to long though possible though 25mpg per 1 k in top so 75mph (about 80 indicated) is 3k

Cool...should it just bolt in??

Yep

Yep

Ceramic discs? Who made those for you?

Cheers

[mcphee197]

Excuse my ignorance but all this power in a clio?...Isnt it a tad wheel spinny??

 

[jayxx83]

Bit to long though possible though 25mpg per 1 k in top so 75mph (about 80 indicated) is 3k

Yep


Yep

i guess with all that power/ torque it shouldnt have any problems spinning it though. is the box itself any stronger than the normal 1*2 box or would these guys get similar problems with an abusive driving style.
