I've been going to Germany since 2007 back in my R5 GT Turbo days then with the Clios. Absolutely love the place

I was thinking about doing a mini guide on what parts are needed to build up the kit.

Exactly, it's having the right people around you. Chris will always map the Clio, his customer service is second to none. I know I can e mail him regarding anything and he'll be on hand to help out. I also have Alex to deal with any mechanical queries as and when I feel the need to ask him...

220 ft/lbs torque on mine. I've done just over 4k now and still have good compression (190-200 psi) on all 4 cylinders. Nothing showing on the breather at all so to me engine is still in good health. It's all progressive, with it mapped so smooth it's helping it along quite nicely. I also don't...

You speak to more than person and they'll say different figures on stock internals, the amount of conversations I've had over the months on limits, if/when to go forged for more power. As mentioned when mapping yesterday and reaching 262bhp Chris said that's about the limit on where he'd go to...

Browse the net, source the parts individually for best prices to build the kit up, check the classifieds on certain parts. I bought the kit second hand, parts were missing plus I wanted to change components in the kit like the blue boost hoses to go black for a more OE look which added to the...

Thanks Mark I really appreciate it, it was well worth the 8 hour round trip drive. I'm still tired after yesterdays driving but sometimes you just have to do these things in order to achieve the results you look for.

You could say that :blush: the chap in the Focus ST last night probably thought the same too.

It is but I wouldn't go anywhere else to have it mapped, I made a weekend of it this time but push come to shove I'd make a long day of it.

To think you drove it 30hp down :blush:

I've had my Clio 2 years in April and supercharged since last May. Definitely consider supercharging, also consider what you're going to use the car for. It's not all about pub bhp figures in my opinion it's about real everyday driveability and living with someone that's modified everyday. If...

Midst mapping

I will never upload a photo direct from my phone again! That looks terrible.

Southend in Essex, M25, M1, M6, M56

What's the round trip mileage for you? Mine works out to be 470 miles and just over 4hrs to get there

I'm in the minority here as so many people have gone turbo but in my opinion the supercharger gives you all that extra power but retains the driveability feel of an N/A car. I absolutely love how it drives, it's effortless, I'll say it again it just pulls and pulls. You see the turbo cars on the...

Being honest there was nothing there to show why, it was running rich top end and had more boost 2nd time round. With the timing now changed and the tighter aux belt it had changed the characteristics of the map higher up so with more fuel he could dial it in and make the most of it running...

Well it's been a while since I've really had to do anything to it up until a couple of weeks ago. I decided to take the Clio down to the Surrey RR meet at the end of November 2014 just for a run out and to see it on the rollers, it had 2 power runs after which Charlie mentioned it was running...

Hey @Knuckles was nice to meet you and chat. Yeah Chris mapped it after everybody had done their power runs so it's all sorted now 262bhp and 220ft/lbs torque

It's looks much better that way

Was there since 10am and had to wait till everyone had gone on. Now the 4hrs drive home

6 chocolate hob nobs!

262bhp and 220ft/lbs

A long day but well worth it

Picked up the Petrol Blue tonight. Again another big, big thanks to @AlexW for all the work he's done on it over the last week. He's gone beyond what he originally set out to do and all in time for it to be ready to head up to EFI Parts this Sunday, much appreciated mate, really impressed...

Ill be there in the SC Petrol Blue 182

Ordered a new filter for the PB182

Bets on hitting 260 this time round

Good luck tomorrow Alex. Would also just like to take the time to say a big thanks for all the work you're doing on the Petrol Blue. I'm so glad the cam timing's been checked before the remap at EFI next week, it just goes to show. Also really impressed with the work and how I've been contacted...

Good ol man logic
