Nothing much mate, just wondering if I could get something more efficient for the size, just belts and braces really.. the last time It went to the ring and spa it was 55 degree track temps so I was worried about heat. Hopefully it won’t be that hot this year anyway

Not 225 pistons mate, 250.. totally different, very nice pistons. Forged pistons aren’t for me, it’s a daily car and would kill a set of forged pistons with cold starts, low mileage etc.. I’ve seen far too many slappy oil burning builds to go down that route. Don’t get me wrong they have there...
No not chasing power, more maintaining what power I do have on hot track days... it’s not bad. Never really a slouch but can notice a bit of power sapping when hot..
Yeah the turbos with the engine dynamics kit aren’t the best but to be fair it’s not faulted once in 5years of hard work! I’d...
Nice, it is a fair old lump of metal too.. does get in the way, working around it fitting oil coolers and Intercoolers is a pain in the arse!

Excellent, thank you for that, I will have a look into it! Looks like it should go in okay without too much fuss... may go for a black one too [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Hey guys, has anybody upgraded the Intercooler on their Clio 182 turbo? Mine has the ED Intercooler that I originally fitted with the kit.
Any info on size, make would be appreciated without me having to do loads of research!
Cheers

Not really a deal breaker is it?
This is the only issue I’ve had with mine in the past also, not the best design having a heavy lump of cast iron hanging off of 4 bolts that are subjected to stupid heat and engine vibrations while having an exhaust system hanging off of that![emoji23]
Hence my...
Yeah! That’s what I mean [emoji23][emoji23]
Lovely job, get the manifold and turbo surfaces machined flat if you can and dump the gasket...
I’ve also made a turbo damper from the manifold mounts to the head to the top of the turbo, can send you pics of it tomorrow if interested.. it’s worked...
Couldn’t fit 15” over the 300mm front disc/Brembos setup unfortunately.. I have seen some very nice light wheels about lately.
These are nice but not actually that light.. the classic speedline turinis or OZ ultraleggs always catch my eye too!

Cheers mate, yeah annoyingly you are right. I’m running out of mods.. thought about wheels and still want to experiment with an engine I have at work, I don’t want forged pistons though.. thanks for the follow
