341hp Supercharged Clio :) 0.9 bar boost 7900rpm limit

[domsclio182]

So what is the all in price for this?

Thats f**king insane!

I think you will be looking at about 8k(if you don't already have the supercharger kit)when you consider the extra internal work this car has had,cams ect,and you will need a quaife or similar lsd another 1k with fitting,and if you don't have coilovers,exhaust ect add another 1.5k plus.

 

[cander08]

maybe show us the car.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Ouch, a bit rich for my blood!

You don't need an LSD, superchargers offer surprising amounts of grip levels due to the nature of the power. Mine/Pauls at 330 would rarely spin in the dry at all!

An LSD would be and advantage. An off the shelf start to finish price on a standard car would be a lot more than £8000, you'd be looking at £10k I'd say

looks like it's gonna need a few more revs to make the most of that power band, how much to make it live at 8500

Presumably a tougher valve/lifter/spring set? :S

 

[RSTuning]

I used to take the white one to 8300 with the same setup.....

 

[DannyR]

Lol I was scared to ever rev it higher than 7500!

 

[RSTuning]

It's ok the limit was 7800

 

[Jonny1*2]

What happened to that engine

 

[DannyR]

It got rebuilt and sold

 

[mso]

Wouldn't be a certain 172 Cup in the project threads would it?


Very impressive figures, must be insanely quick now. It wasn't shy before the recent work either.

Ha ha just watch my vid!!! His car goes very well thou!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Shy, this is not


sod going over 8 grand in an F4R, that would take a bit of getting used to

 

[Jonff]

I've been keeping an eye on your thread too

Watched your video earlier, certainly pulls it's self along very well.

 

[Kane.]

wow.

 

[p@blo]

Impressive. Good effort paul.

 

[-J-]

Are the Gearbox internals standard on this still or has it got something fancy in it?

 

[Silent_Scone]

K-Tec had a Gripper diff fitted for him I think, as strange a choice as that may be.

So essentially a Standard box as far as Syncros etc

This is a totally standard 172 gearbox.

Our white one was too, also dean's was 330hp on the stock box

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

So as standard goes, the gearbox is actually pretty good?

 

[Matt350.]

Very nice indeed, any pictures coming soon?

 

[chrispy.clio]

I think it just depends on the driver. Some people (ben stevo) could munch his way through gearboxes and others have lasted 10,000miles with the same sort of power.

 

[Vicky.]

Wow that's some graph awesome stuff!

sod going over 8 grand in an F4R, that would take a bit of getting used to

I'd love that, mine goes off the clock to 7800 would love the extra 2 but unless you have a crazy setup like this it'd be unnecessary.

 

[T.Trophy]

The gearboxes aren't that bad upto about 300bhp ish, beyond that and your really getting into territory that destroys gears and cracks casings. There are some mods out there but they come with varying success.

One mod (and I'm guesing its the one fitted to MSO's car) is a bearing brace, item cod. K0006 shown in the link below

http://www.bacciromano.com/index.php?p=prodotti&l=eng&cat1=24&cat2=51&mar=8

To fit it you need to have the gearbox casing end machined then drilled and tapped to accept the bolts, some people have used them in high powered 5 GT turbo drag cars with some good results, others have had a gearbox fail on the first run after fitting them :S


I suppose it's a relatively cheap item to buy but will result in expensive labour and maching charges, maybe if you were getting a LSD fitted it would be worth it whilst the box is in bits.

 

[RSTuning]

I think these will be ok with the stock box tbh. Not too much torque.

 

[AP'Moss]

Jealous, awesome

 

[Daz.]

Keys please jon

Willy meet!

 

[Baggaley90]

Looks amazing! serious car!

 

[JD]

Jon's/CA's I presume Paul? Need to call Jon for a spin next time I'm up north!

Yes mate

LoL it was supposed to say 300 lbs/ft, TBH I didn't have any issues with mine at 340bhp and 315lb/ft. I think a lot depends on the mileage the box has covered and how it's been treated.

 

[Alex-J]

is this clio blue by any chance? speaking to a boy up trax just before we went out on track, said it was running 240 but he was putting a forged lump in a few days later and turning the boost up

 

[northy]

no its a silve phase 1 172

That may have been mine

 

[johnbryan45]

Lovely car seen it a few times now at meets, its truly mental. Good work guys!

Powered by fairy dust isnt it?

Bloody impressive figures!

 

[DannyR]

What's the internal spec of this?

 

[Andyman]

Flipping heck this moves !!

Are those Supertech valves the same length as stock?

 

[JD]

That it is.
