Heres a couple of pics from Mallory No engine bay pics or vids, I was hoping that me and Foxy would cross paths on track but it didn't happen. As for further upgrades for more power, it's getting to the point where I'm nearing the limits of the whole setup, which means to...

Just a quick update on how the cars getting on. Since I finished it in June i've covered about 1500 miles hassle free, it even put in an appearance at the RTOC national day where it was an absolute blast on track (despite the torrential downpour) and it scooped "best post 1991 car of the...

TBH it bores me when people make general assumptions about things they have no experience with. Most people who have a turbo/supercharged clio are blown away at how much traction a clio can generate. I've driven standard saxo VTS's which had more issues putting the power down. I'll be honest I...

Did you just pop into the F4R graveyard to take those pics? I swear to god I've never met someone with such a fetish for clio engines ;)

Well thanks for your opinion but have you actually driven a turbocharged clio? as I actually prefer opinions based on someones experiences. My experiences are if you take one turbocarged clio (no LSD and 341bhp) , add one soaking wet Mallory Park track day, throw in a couple of evos, imprezas...

If your a bit switched on you'd could probably build a kit your self for cheaper, as theres a few parts in both this and ktecs low pressure conversion which aren't really brilliant.

I could do with one as well

EC1 from RStuning and TDF it's what I'm using on my 340bhp Clio Turbo. The best ECU by far at the moment, do a search you'll find nothing but good reviews.

Just ditch the OE loom and get a stand alone ecu. As for gearbox issues allegedly the JC5 cant take the standard power of a 1*2, yet mine took a full day of hammering round Mallory and I'm putting out 341bhp. It all comes down to how you drive the car, if you smash it through the gears expect...

Why don't you study the graphs from the conversions that have already been done then using a rule of thumb guesstimate how much boost vs CR your gonna need to run to achieve your goal? IE a stock clio makes roughly 165bhp? by introducing a SC and running 0.5 bar it makes in the region of...

Having tried it, I don't think its as "value for money" as people perceive. If you could drop it straight in with the ND0 gearbox then that would reduce the costs quite a bit but it seems no ones actually tried it clio 1*2

It's the bell housing is larger on the F4RT block as it uses the ND0 gearbox, apart from that the crank, rod's, piston's etc.. are all interchangeable even the cylinder heads can be swapped with a little machining.

The difference is the size of the block and as such the JC5 gearbox doesn't fit the F4RT block, but it's a nice thought :)

TBH for how much it would cost to but a second hand 225 lump then to have the head machined and a custom down pipe made, I'd just pay the little bit extra and get the forged rods and pistons for your current set up. Then you'll have a better choice of turbos and everything is available off the...

The harsh reality is everything is mega expensive on the F4R, both supercharged and turbo charged clios have been proven at over 300bhp and ITB's (on full high comp pistons, rods, crazy cams etc...) at around 230bhp. You'll be surprised at how similar the costs are once you have to strip the...

You'll need custom pistons mate as the only off the shelf one available are from wossner and are 8.5:1. The megane 225 pistons are 9.5:1 so you could send one to have it copied but the valve cutouts aren't as large as the 182's so you will need them modifying otherwise when the VVT engages...

LOL personally I think you should aim for about 340bhp ;) Have you got a finish date yet?

Theres no excuse not to stick a GT28RS on there and run 350bhp

Well that clears that up then :) Looking forward to seeing this up and running and must admit I'll be some what dissapointed if you don't become a member of the 300+ clio club ;)

LOL look at all that space! I'm actually slightly envious ;) However I still don't understand why your ditching your current manifold that BBPT/Engine dynamics claim to have run 380 bhp with?
