Good going Ian, took me back.
Much better than some of those silly single stages around air fields and farmers tracks.

I know its not a clio but my other rally car , a forest spec Mk 2 Ex works Golf fitted with a 2.0lt 16v that has similar problems getting good power out of them , has just been rebuilt after melting a piston back in December , people were telling me that 230ish HP was what I should be expecting ,
been built to a very good spec , inc a S2000 spec exhaust manifold , and it made 249.4hp and 167lb ft torque this week :approve:
Its being fitted back into the car this weekend , and they are running up on the rollers , then fine tuning it on the road and i'm hoping to do a gravel event next weekend as a shakedown as I have entered the clubman rally GB next month.
Can't wait to try it out

Spoke to Fred over the last few days and am heading up to his workshop tomorrow with all the bits I have for the new clio rally engine and he's going to build it up for me , this engine won't be as good as the golf lol , but hopefully can get it to around 240 hp , once its built i'll take it to Plymouth to the guys who dynoed the golf engine to map it.
Need to get a new ECU for it so have decided on a DTA and i'm going to get the digital dash they make as well , the Cup car dash is ok but doesn't give enough info at a glance , at least with the DTA one it can show 5 or 6 things at once , so rev counter , gear display , water temp , oil temp and oil pressure , with the cup car dash it only shows one at a time and you have to press a button to go through the different screens

I thought he would do it for you, I did ring him and tell him about it.

Promising looking project there! Ignore the pepople suggesting a clio doesnt make a good rally car... with the right suspension and chassis mods any car can be adapted to any discipline! I agree with Christopher. There ARE other classes... its not JUST about WRC. A clio will make a great nimble car... with sick PTW ratio

I've seen these xdash before, they run them in the c2r2 very nice price of kit and a lot cheaper than some of the top digital dashes out there
Clio are great class car and a fraction of the cost of a Mk2, we regularly win the 2ltr class in our Mk1 and have finished in the top 3 O/A quite a few times.
Bolf engine... Thats a lot of revs to get 250bhp.!!!
Who did the manifold as im looking to get a proper one for mine....?

8300 revs , so not that high really , my road car revs more than that in standard form , the exhaust was done by Edwards motorsport in Slough , he did his time with Simpsons , I was going to get them to do it but they meesed me about for 6 weeks so I gave up in the end , someone gave me Edwards number and within 2 weeks the car was ready to collect , they made a manifold and twin box system for me

Was due to lowish torque figure good results must be a good spec. I would have thought you would get more from the clio, looking forward to the results.

Dropped all the engine bits over to Fred's yesterday , so looking forward to getting it back and mapped and see what it does , I'm certainly looking forward to getting it in the car with 60-70 hp more than I have now
I went from 185 to 235bhp in my Mk1 and made the difference of 3or4th in class to 1 in class and top 3-5 O/A nearly every event.!!! The guy who runs my car spoke to you briefly at Epynt last weekend, said the car went well
I have a Mk2 cup racer and converting like yourself for the future. You getting a S2000 spec exhaust for this engine, this is where my current engine will benifit ?

For this engine I have been told the 182 manifold I bought will do , for the big power engine I will be having done with the steel bottom end and solid lifters I will have a manifold and system made for it as I wan't to get the most power possible out of it , looking to go to 270 ish HP.
lol
still got the pink one just had the engine rebuilt and off to the rr tomorrow. Its current winning the championship at the moment and is a lot faster than the mk2 cup car i have.
Fred you can have the pink onecar back but price begins with a 1 ;-)
How much was the manifold? Definitely needed and would release a few hp im sure.
Google Ashford motorsport F4R on YouTube 280hp on the dyno 8 injectors .

The Golf manifold was £650 , it cost me £1300 for manifold and system
you keep the engine and i'll have the car
Its for sale but spec dependant on how much money you offer ;-)

Thats good going , i'd be happy with that in my car , whats the spec of your engine ?
I got my Golf back yesterday and took it for a spin around the trading est and i'm well happy with it , it goes very well , now if I could get my clio to go like that i'd be beating the WRC's lol
