Was a lovely car, bit gutted it scrapped my iceberg ph1 too tbh.. Still wish id been able to have your shell, turns out a rust free ph1 is very rare these days lol

The main point of a megane conversion is to get rid of the clio gearbox lol

Do you live in Flitwick or near Bedford? The cars got a low boost and high boost map so your welcome to come out in it to see how the two compare.. But yeah low boost doesn't really feel the same after haha

Its a clio turbo stage 2 so basically meg internals and a garrett gt2560r turbo. Running 280bhp.. The maps quite tame apart from the limiter which I'm guessing is ignition cut going by the flames lol

Yeah I need to cut the centre pipe down a a bit as all the joins are as far in as they go so can't get in any further

Yeah meg internals mate. One more first gear pull, wouldn't do this again though, poor gearbox lol

Little clip of my car now its got the pure motorsport exhaust fitted. Obviously dont drive the car like this all the time, just wanted flames for the video lol

Dependings what sort of power you want from it, you can get around 230bhp on standard compression and an efi module so a standalone ecu isn't required. Better off with an off the shelf log manifold and downpipe imo as the 225 manifold puts the turbo and downpipe very close to the master cylinder.

Brought this from ebay and just going to stich it together to the right size and cable tie it on.. Hopefully will work and be a cheap way of doing it

Where did you get the surround from? Looks like it fits really well

Nearly finished my brothers one which had a 1.6mm (I think) head gasket fitted so will know soon, but essentially the limiting factor will be the rods so I think torque at about 250ft/lb would be a sensible limit, mine makes 280 bhp with 250ft/lb with megane pistons so will in interesting to...

To be fair that's a bargain for what it is, if the paint job is decent and it's one of his better conversions (which being his own car is likely to be). Just makes me wonder why he's selling it cheap to start with

Yeah don't make the mistake I did lol

Seems getting a decent Renault Sport specialist for high cost conversions (turbo, itb) is pot luck no wonder turbo conversions are considered too unreliable

No worries mate, I wasnt going to publicly shame him to start with because on the surface he's a nice guy, but he shouldn't be getting away with the state he's left so many cars in over the last few years, and his customer service is a appalling, so I'll happy tell people now what they're likely...

I wouldn't even say low boost really affects the reliability engine much tbh.. Doesn't put the rods or pistons under any strain they can't handle..engine dynamics have done a car that was on 140k and its still going strong after 15k of hard use. With low boost you can just chuck another engine...

My car was a complete death trap when I first got it.. My own fault for not viewing it properly, but I was expecting a car done by a professional company to be done well..one example is the heat shield fitted didn't even cover the master cylinder.. I didn't notice this to start with but after...

He was turning out good work before and during mine and opticals were being done.. This is two cars he still messed up and there have been more. End of the day it shows he cuts corners and isn't too fussed if a car goes out unfinished or to a poor standard ... I wouldn't want to risk 2.5k on a...

The car I brought in the summer was done by clioturbo and has similar issues as shown in knuckles post.. The cars been completely thrown together and there were just so many bodges on it that you wouldn't believe.. Low boost you don't have to worry about having a garret turbo and that's the only...

+1 on the steering rack bushes.. Also rear beam bushes

My car came with gaz coilovers and I swapped them out for the set of bilstiens off my old car .. Bilstiens are much better for the road.. Don't go as low as the gaz and the damping isn't adjustable but for the road it doesn't need to be. Anti roll bar bushes and steering rack bushes would also...

Cheers! I was thinking of painting the intercooler black but think I'll leave it as it contrasts the front quite well. Must admit looking back through the pictures the side repeaters do stand out now lol

So the exhaust is now fitted, much quieter and drives much nicer now that the down pipe has all 5 bolts holding it onto the turbo, not sure how it was noticeably blowing but I could wiggle it with my hand! Found yet more issues with the car.. Its starting to piss me off a little as so much of...

Mine and my brothers ph1s, brothers is currently getting turbo'd too

Bit the bullet and ordered the pure motorsport exhaust. The quality is unreal, well worth the premium over a ktec/similar system I'd say. Went for the straight through system with only the rear silencer and the pipe sticking out. Going to fit it tomorrow and hopefully get the gopro out and...

Fancy a swap for some recaro pole positions? Lol

Also what do people think about the wheels? Keep the 2118's Or Get my f1's powercoated silver for a more oem look

Yeah pictures aren't the best lol, will be arranging a photo shoot with a mate once I'm happy with how the car looks though. Yeah I'm almost tempted to rip the whole thing out and start again lol
