tbh you really dont need a diff with low boost. the car is driving perfectly or as it did before just with a heap load more power. i would have used a diff on 280bhp though

i did ask this question before buying the kit but was told for a low boost turbo it would be fine. the only thing they said i may need to do is uprated clutch but even that wasn't necessary according to engine dynamics

its good to know that iv built the car not someone else. ye around 230bhp

Thanks mate! if you're keen on keeping your clio i would defo save for a turbo

about 4 days maybe just under that. not a particularly long job but because i did the clutch it took nearly a day longer

The intercooler is mounted by drilling two holes in the front beam. The piping simply just holds itself together with only one point which is bolted to where the injectors are. The engine was never removed all work was carried out with it in place the dump and oil pump are removed and then...

Well that was the point I've never done anything like this myself so does go to show it's not difficult just need to know some basics

You cenrtainly know :wink:

Thanks mate! I went for the one engine dynamics do. Very easy to follow on the instructions and has everything you need! Haven't quite decided, possibly brakes aha and maybe some re spraying to show room condition :)

So I finally managed to convince myself to buy a turbo for my 182! As I am not one to shy away from a challenge, I decided to take on the task of fitting it myself it to save a few quid. I decided to change my clutch at the same time seeing as the subframe would be off the car it seemed like a...

Aha I think I'll avoid the supercharger lol

Ye could ask engine dynamics to take me out in their one

I like building my cars aha but that is a very nice example!

Funny you say that because that's what I was thinking... my issue is some people have said to keep the Clio na and not to turbo it

So i'm thinking of getting throttle bodies for my 182. I have been looking at the ones from Ktec but they say you need an ECU to be able to run them as a remap won't allow you to get full control of the throttle as the engine becomes too sensitive. Has anyone ever run throttle bodies with the...

Only issue is getting the old one out but iv just cut through it and then used a hammer and bar to push the sensor itself out

Ye it was mate. I'll put a pic up of the setting and how it looks in difference with the old to new. It's a simple job tbh

Ok well iv had aloof this morning results are as follows: Rear abs sensors: both showing 1.00 Front left: 1.52 Front right: dead I think iv found my issue... plugged in a spare abs sensor I had and bam all light go straight out on dash! Clearly a new abs is need on front right

I i believe it can be but I don't want to jump into just buying things otherwise this job could become a never ending pit of money. I'll get it plugged in and let you know.

I'll give it a go today and let you know if it works on clios

Can't this be seen with a volt metre? The turning of the wheel produces a current which can be seen in volts if I'm not wrong?

Ouch! Hopefully my issue isn't all that then lol! This is the reason I need it sorted as I'm going round Europe next June on track days and don't want to be locking up or just sliding through corners although as you say can be fun I don't think it's going to help my timings aha

Aha that sounds like a right pain the ass! So it was a combination of all those things? Glad I've only done the easy this to start with lol

Ok mate and what issue was it with yours?

T I'm in Hertfordshire so don't have Ktec near only company is engine dynamics which I can think off but is still a little drive to them. I haven't spent any money on the issue as off yet is iv had a lot of spares left over from my last car which were all working perfectly and the garages iv...

That's what iv been thinking but when put on diagnostics as I say I went to two different garages those codes never showed up. deffinitly not going to be loading money into it aha

Their on from start up when I changed the squib they would come on after driving a while but now on all the time

I know this subject has been mentioned before on the forums but I am still yet to find the solution as to why i have the three lights up... I bought my 182 about 3 months ago and ever since iv been trying to resolve this issue! The guy i bought the car from said it was an ABS ring on the drive...
