Hello guys....
Any old timers remember me? ;)
Used to have a 1.2 16v Clio on a Y plate. Lots of tasteful mods. Then moved to a 275hp Starlet turbo.
Well now I have an EK9 too :)
No way I can really fault the car, except for the relative low torque in stock form. However, I have...
200hp is hard on standard turbo.
180hp is achieveble thou. Probs missed some bits out but:
Run the standard CT9a/b turbo to 1.0bar of boost
Aftermarket manifold and downpipe/possibly decat, but not worth MOT hassle IMO.
Aftermarket exhaust and relocate an airfilter off the turbo...
Engine is forged and fully race balanced.
Some of the spec:
Pauter Rods
Ross low compression forged pistons (0.5mm overbore)
NST lightened and balanced underdrive crank pulley
Cruise valve springs
1.2mm metal headgasket
Exedy paddle clutch
The turbo is a TD04L from a 2005 Impreza...
