A very nice project build mate:up:I really have enjoyed reading your journey with your Clio this early morning:smile:But....I think that the turbo choice "gt3071" that you have made is going to be a lag monster and that's coming from experience....I ran one on my 2.0 litre Subaru which has AVCS heads a free flowing turbo back exhaust and the lag that I was getting was out of this world:fearscream:,it completely ruined my car and was quickly sold on for a GT2871R turbo which was a match made in heaven with the 2.0 litre Scooby.Saying that the gt30 had a good top end but I didn't fancy waiting a day for the turbo to get on song,the fact that you do track days I would have thought that you would of preferred a more responsive turbo that spools up earlier but still has a hard hitting mid/top range?Just my two cents
.Keep the updates coming...SJ.

Cheers[emoji38] the gt30 turbo came has a gt28 exhaust housing so the exhaust side so spool shouldn't be that bad,but I know I will get turbo lag. on a 1.8t it was making boost at 3800
SI-STI 2.35 & RC-172
LOL Yeah the smaller exhaust housing should aid with spool up a little...but as the physics show:wink:you should fit the smallest turbo for your desired top power level.Just make sure your in the right gear with your right foot planted with the gt30,as you should know mate big turbos need feeding:up:.SJ.

Took the car to Bedford at the weekend it was amazing fun. The car was spot on had a few little issues mainly boost hoses popping of every lap and I cooked the brake fluid and killed the discs, power steering fluid boiled. New discs have been ordered i have loads of racing blue fluid ready to use the car will be off the road for a few weeks having the new turbo fitted for April and the epas rack.
I'll upload some videos once I get the GoPro onto the computer.

So we had a rolling road day at work today (Tsr performance ) so it was rude not to put the Clio on. The car made 300bhp and 326lbft which is less than it made at mtec. Had a couple issues with getting it to grip in the rollers and I was losing boost in higher rpm. But was a good day
Looking and going well now then! Good work
Is that an arch roller I can see in you're earlier posts? Is it for sale??????

The next outing will be at castle Combe for the action day I got the car into the top 25 cars.
For the brake issue I will be changing all of the fluid and I will be moving the turbo over the gearbox so will no longer be next to the brake lines
Countryman JCW
What does getting the car into the top 25 mean? And what did you do to achieve that?
Is that using the manifold pictured further up? Sounds great, I'll look forward to the pictures!
Clio 172 turbo
I'm not that sure what it means [emoji23] they did a competition on Facebook for the most likes on a photo gets into the top 25 cars for the show.
Yea the manifold above that I'm making I still need to finish and hopefully fit over the bank holiday weekend

Top work, looks to be going well on track

Update time. I've been working flat out on the car to be ready for Combe today. I decided the car needs to become a proper track car now. So the interior is gone.
I removed the power steering and added epas
Removed all of the interior and painted inside white
