Clio bhp???

[Ryan k]

Whats the max power someones got out on the 2.0L thats road going???
Got some very big plans and about to order the parts just thinking how high im looking at. Not saying what im getting though sorry.

 

[Saner]

Was BBPT's turbo 300bhp?

 

[Ryan k]

Was BBPT's turbo 300bhp?

Well im about 300 now. Im going for the 500 mark with a mates help got some massive changes planned

 

[Steve 182]

I thought it was yours bud if not your must be close

 

[Saner]

Why?

I know that eth TT CLio had 450 bhp and that was pretty unuseable from what I gathered

 

[Steve 182]

Well im about 300 now. Im going for the 500 mark with a mates help got some massive changes planned

With the original engine?

Well mines fine at 300 not far off no wheel spin. Got some changes to give it better traction. I mean with the clio engine dont want to change it.

With the original engine?

Yes mate

 

[ben_p]

Lop at getting that to 500, would need a steel crank, solid lifters, the biggest turbo ever, a gearbox and clutch that will take the torque, new fuel system, water injection, block re-inforced, the costs would easy hit 15-20k then it wouldn't even drive,

Buy a skyline IMO

 

[Chrisjk]

Pauls at rs tuning is low 300 i think

 

[Steve 182]

Yes mate

Do you plan on boring the engine, can your do this or is it at its limits?

 

[GazM]

imo 300bhp from a fwd car is excellent but also enough. Surely 500bhp would be overkill

I plan to change everything but the engine its self. Dont like skylines one bit and its not a clio. An im not giving away the plans about the turbo.

 

[ben_p]

I missed off driveshafts, engine bearings, engine mounts, intercooler ( no room for a huge one) exhaust manifold that will tkae the heat and flow upto that rate

 

[Ryan k]

Not boring it out at all mate. You can take a small amount off but i wont be.

 

[ben_p]

I think you could get it too late 300's anymore than that it will explode after 50 miles, you would also have to spend über amounts of cash on the chasis and getting it to drive in a stright line!

But I would love to be proved wrong

 

[Steve 182]

Well if your secret plan works think you will have the fastest sickest clio on here.

Will you tell us what you have done now or do you have a thread on this already?

 

[Ryan k]

There is room its where you put it that gives you more room. I know most people will say there is no point in spending that much money but if you can why now??

Got that thread already mate its in the project section called clio turbo.

Spoke to someone thats had 600bhp out of theres but cant go on the road. on standard crank etc
I dont know his full list of changes like :s

 

[ben_p]

You would have to drop the compression belowe 8: too, maybe even a stroker to get the cc in

I would need to change the piston heads too there only rated to 400bhp

 

[Steve 182]

Yeah i have seen cars where the turbo is located in the passenger foot well to make more room in the engine bay, sounds like an awesome project. Be worth doing just to show it can be done. Wouldnt do it myself, think i would get an evo or something but then again there are plent of evos there aint any road legal clios with that amount of power.

Is yours the 182 with the cup pack, mine is an just woundering if the thread will answer all the questions i have lol like suspension, engine etc

Ill have a look now

 

[Inferno]

Getting the power out of the engine wouldn't be the biggest problem. As said before, what gearbox is going to take that much power without throwing a hissy fit?

 

[Saner]

Still don't understand why.

The clio is fammed for its handelling, but a 500 bhp engine just wont be useable as a track / b-road blaster, surely?

Flol, there lying!
Why can't it get on the road, if you have 20k and you want to do it, then go for it!

I spent tens of thousands on my old one, it didn't matter at the time as I wasn't botherd, but looking back now I would of rather of had a porka turbo on my drive LOL.

I've capped my new one at a 5th of he old one!

I can have a custom one made i know a company that will do it. Its big money but you only live once

 

[172Ben]

500BHP in a fwd car is pointless mate!

 

[Guppy]

Would love too see the finished article!

Would love a stage one coversion tbh...

 

[Inferno]

If it was me and I was going to spend that sort of money and wanted a Clio with 500bhp I'd be looking at using a Scooby turbo flat four running through a tunnel and driving the rear wheels. It'd be so much cheaper to do and so much more effective as a usable car.

Its a race car not a road car. Not into the big fast cars yet. Mines as fast as an evo now so dont want to go slower lol Might not go that much more power yet. I have another car im doing an engine change on. Just be different to do.

Someones getting the idea :rasp:

 

[The Boosh!]

Out of a road going "clio" it was the Clio TT no competition. it RR'd at 496BHP and had 198MPH (on the rollers. not in the real world of course)...

If your on about the engine (obv the clio TT was VAG) then it has got to be Scoffs renault 5.

Thats got a turbo'd 172 engine in there and was running more power than the clio TT.

 

[Saner]

In'st there already a Rear Mounted RWD Clio Turbo?

 

[172Ben]

Put it this way, this used to be a 600bhp+ punto with cosworth engine installed.

Till it was removed as torque steer was just stupid.

No control over the power, although it is a cool idea.

You better of looking into a 4wd system, or RWD at least. And then your spending 20k ish, when you could be burning around in a nice evo 8 with 400bhp under your foot.

I know which id choose

 

[Steve 182]

Oooh you planning on making it 4wd, awesome!

Was that road going ?? not trying to beat it im wonting to know what power people have had out of car

 

[ben_p]

If you got the cash then do it, but don't borrow it! Getting loans to tune cars ftl!

If I had lent the cash to do mine and I was still paying for it now, then I would be crying!

 

[172Ben]

There is road going, and then there is controlable.

Show the clio TT some twisties, and i bet a standard 172 would woop it.

No point having all the power when you cant put it down.

I wasted 11k on a punto, and i regret it big style. Just dont do the same!
