looks great, I never understand why people think track cars should be dogs its nice to take pride in them whatever they are used for! good job!

No @rich83 it doesnt appear to of been done yet but 197 owners only seem to be seeing 230 with ITB's

Its a shame the renault heads lag behind as it really holds them back when you compare to peugeot for example especially when you compare them to what sandy is doing with the TU engines in the 106's

But if you were going ITB route you could use a 197/200 set up on the inlet side then use 1*2 exhaust manifold?

Ha Ive got to buy the car first mate and buy a house before I buy another car will be spring time! you got any events planned I might come have a nosey at yours

Got a build thread mate are you using standard 200 cams vv. etc? Are you putting it on a 1*2 bottom end?

@NorthloopCup I will be going ITB's yeah and also some fairly wild cams/solid lifters etc prob have to pocket the pistons I was planning on going without VVT though just for simplification

Subscribed to this! awesome build!

Ah cheers that sounds like a plan then long term, I like the fact the newer cars open up some alternate options for the 1*2 engines makes it a bit more fun I guess.

Is there a difference in piston weight/ design then on the 197? whats the rest of the spec Dan?

Yeah I just found the progress thread he started, It really doesn't seem worth it as I would change pistons/rods anyway also cams so really its only the flow of the head that I would gain tbh. Are the heads interchangeable? Then I could build up a 172 bottom end and a 197/200 head with cams...

chips been banned? wow! ok well assuming it mates to a 172 box should be ok

oh I see is he using the 200 box then? Is there a link to this?

is that more down to electrics though? as being on aftermarket management my loom will be custom anyways etc

Tom are ancillaries etc. all interchangeable so I could just use a 197 block and head then retain all 172 things like exhaust/inlet manifolds and engine loom if I went that way?

Great stuff clearly my search terms were not quite right!

Morning all, can anyone off the top of their heads think of anyone on here who preferably has a progress blog who has built a big spec n/a 172? With that I mean high comp/head work extreme cams blah blah blah just want to have a read and see what others have done. Please dont say just go boost...

I'll be on the hunt for a PH1 next year!

Just trying to track down my car sold it in April this year to a guy called Dean I think in Loughborough area it was a 172 cup with a turbo conversion done by @Andyrg@ ClioTurbo Reg was SC53 OCY doubt it would be for sale but you never know!

well at least your getting a strut brace that's the main thing!

should of bought my turbo one!

and yes you absolutely need vacum to the aei it retards the ignition when on boost I believe

sorry ignore my above post

Theres no Map sensor on a c1J there is a vacum feed to the 'ecu' however but thats not it

I like it

No I know but I just don't think I'm going to use it.... I'll no doubt regret it but I need something super economic to commute as it's 75 miles each way

This is going up for sale as I can't keep all my toys so unfortunately it's this that I'm going to sell

This sums it up I love mine at 230bhp and standard compression doesn't feel sluggish off boost and feels really balanced can't wait to get out on track

Does anyone run r888 's or such on turinis?
