    Throttle Bodies or Supercharger

    TB's or supercharger? Its a no brainier surely? 4k bolt on charger, touch of ecu mapping off you go. Also sitting on bags more potential power if needed

    Why does my 182 keep steaming up ??

    Get one of those Clio heated front windscreens ;) I get bad condensation after having a new front screen fitted. Must not be sealed right

    itg maxogen

    Mapped or just bolted on? Expensive yeah but they hold their money plus seem to be a improvement in performance depending on your set up:

    Engine Rebuild.. talk to me?

    If your not after power be a lot cheaper and easier to find a decent stock engine. Your talking serious amounts of wedge for a rebuild.

    Changing Crank Pulley

    Yeah - ignore the first crank picture tho as most shouldn't have that. Sure that one is a Laguna item ? Stock 172 / 182 has a groove right to the tip of the crank as per post 32

    Changing Crank Pulley

    Its basically a cog with a raised lug inside which slots into a groove on the end of the crank. The normal 172 / 182 one just slots on and doesn't have a locating lug

    Changing Crank Pulley

    Is it worth fitting a keywayed Megane pulley on a stock non forced induction engine if say your having a cambelt change for the added peace of mind?

    checking timing without the tools

    Ah so it was the big outer auxiliary crank pulley which screwed up not the small inner timing cog? Do you have any pictures of it?

    checking timing without the tools

    Would be interesting to know how the timing crank pulley snapped! - Is this a first for a Clio Sport?

    checking timing without the tools

    Bob down your Renault dealer and ask if you can borrow their cam D clamp tool and bring it to TDC as Laine said to check if the D slots in. Should only cost you the price of a set of end caps

    Boring out an F4R (2.2L)?

    Yeah i wasn't wanting to go down the race version route. Stock Renault or standard replacement will do me fine. One of the mains bearings had a substantial groove marked in it but luckily the crank its self escaped damage.

    Boring out an F4R (2.2L)?

    Do you mean the stock Renault ones are unbranded ACL items in the way that Gates make Renault belts?

    Boring out an F4R (2.2L)?

    Yeah was going to go ACL on the big ends but not sure about the mains whether its a bit overkill? Yeah ARP essential on the rods :) Did you get your Wossners fitted Jonny? Read elsewhere on here you were in the process of getting them done

    Crank pulley failure !

    No mate because the damper on the Renault crank auxiliary pulley is built in to the actual pulley. Guessing Pure just do without a dampener altogether ?

    Boring out an F4R (2.2L)?

    Thanks Chip :) - The only other mods are really cams and headwork so won't be big power. Loosing oil so just rebuilding a whole bottom end. Would you recommend ACL bearings throughout or stick with Renault stock shells ?

    Boring out an F4R (2.2L)?

    What high comp bore size would you opt for given piston prices are the same between bores: 83 or 84mm ?

    Under piston oil cooling jets removal

    Managed to get them out with a Irwin bolt grip socket. Really crap design just pushed in like that. :mad:

    Rusty engine

    ^^Pretty much what the fella who will be doing the honing said. Jet Wash it and spray with WD40, the rest will naturally clean off with use.

    mythed about bhp

    That's exactly what i ended up doing after he messed up lol

    mythed about bhp

    Is he still using home made rollers? Avoid him if you have a Sport Clio. He knows f**k all about them. Made a right mess of my mapping years ago. Nice chap tho

    Renault Dealer Prices

    LOL @ £2150. You could always buy a 2nd hand one or if you really wanted new go sports cat

    performance increase

    Whats written on your policy is what your insured for. If you have stated your mods gains X amount of bhp then your policy should state this, not just generic stainless exhaust.

    performance increase

    This is what annoys me about mainstream insurance companies. They want to know from you how much power its going to make yet when you get your policy back it will simple say ''stainless exhaust'' so makes no odds. Its just a way they make extra cash from punters. If it was so crucial to know...

    Rusty engine

    Whats the best way to remove rust from inside a engine which has been stood a while? The piston bores are fine but the oil and cooling ways are rusty. Would patio / cement acid cleaner be up to the job? or is their anything better to use? Thanks

    RS2 makes 150lbft for almost entire rev range and 190bhp on standard engine :)

    Here's mine on its old spec 4 years back running regrind cams, headwork, matched inlets and mapped up. Roughly about the same cost as a RS2 starting from scratch
