    How much will a turbo cost me

    Thankyou for your concern. Yes I was lucky enough to keep my job, and our department faired quite well, but alas a good friend has been let go. Cheers MC

    How much will a turbo cost me

    But if it only cost you £100 for a taylor made N2O kit giving 50bhp or more, it could keep you happy until you come to change your car. It is possible.

    To write the manual, they have to get hold of a car and strip it down to bare components and reassembly is reverse of removal. It may take some time. MC

    Not sure they do one yet. I want the same for a 2002 1.2 16v. They are the best way to understand how to improve performance. MC

    How much will a turbo cost me

    Anything is possible! I appologise if I sounded argumentative yesterday, was very busy and today our company is handing out redundancy notices! Back to the important stuff. Jonesy, the sumary is correct, it will be easier to transplant an engine. I dont know much about the Renault range...

    Nope I think that the asumption is that the 1.2 crank isnt as strong as the 172, not that itll be under anymore stress. Is this true Jo? TB1, Stop, start again without the assumption that Im some spotty little boy racer. The Clio sport range as stated in the Brochure has a Close...

    Hi, Yep, that was me. I was closing on the other Skyline too, but ran out of time. It was the first time I had driven that car in anger. OK, will admit the 172 is better, not saying it isnt, but compare the 1.2 to the others not only in its class, but others of so called higher spec...

    Oh dear. What misconceptions you have. Yes the sport range does have a close ratio rack (quick rack as they are sold after market). If you dont believe me, check it out. It has about 2 turns less than most standard systems. The 1.6 16v will have the same level of suspension and brake...

    If everyone thought like that, thered be no modified cars. the main attraction to me through the years, is creating something, not just buying it. What car do you drive? Have you driven one of the Clio Sport Dynamiques hard? If you had, youd realise that the brakes and suspension are very...

    Cheers. Ben, Can you find the details on the nozzle you describe please. The standard whistle type is fine for most applications, but Im almost gonna have to treat my Throttle body like a carb because of its placement, so the one you describe sounds perfect. Is it possible for you to...

    Re: Frostys reply. I agree with your thoughts on the turbo conversion, it is a very big job, and it would be easier to do an engine conversion, although his intention might be to create something different. How many 1.2 16v Turbo Clios are there? For this reason alone Id say go for it. It...

    Im gonna use a regulator on the fuel for the supply. I wanna run the fuel on a lower PSi through a larger jet. Its less likely to block like that, and that gives a little more piece of mind. I dont fancy having 50bhp Nitrous running in with a blocked fuel supply. Also, the larger the jet...

    OK, thats the tricky bit with my car coz of the inlet plenum design. Its gonna be really tricky to explain. Imagine my inlet plenum as a large plastic box seperated by a HORIZONTAL panel. This horizontal panel has a very flat Throttle Body in the center. Air comes in through a very large...

    There are equations to work this out, and no two applications will be the same (thats where the RR comes in). As a rough rule, at 10 psi fuel pressure, the fuel jet will be around the same I.D. as the nitrous. For 7 psi multiply by about 1.3, for 5 psi x1.5 etc. This is a very rough guide and...

    FAO: Justyboy, Im in the process of building a DIY Nitrous kit now. All Im waiting for is the solenoid for the Nitrous. It has to be able to cope with the high pressure. It is possible to run a 6v solenoid at 12v to increase the power of the coil (the gas will keep it cool) and make changes...

    1.2 16v tuning

    Oh, fogot to mention, if this turns out successful (the N2O kit) we might start producing them for other people.

    1.2 16v tuning

    Right, assuming the last answer is out of the question, heres my 2ps worth. The Airfilter isnt a bad option on the 1.2 16v. From my experience, the standard intake is absolute poo. The exhaust system looks like it should be on a mini too. So youve started in the right place, but I dare say...
