The actuator can't go above about 0.5 bar without causing a leak. I've got a boost controller now as well (MS-IBC Gizzmo). It's running about 10psi boost at the moment but I don't know if it would make more power at the same pressure if more time was spent mapping it. I guess I'll find out when...

Still no limit to the number of computers that can use the internet at the same time. Computers on your private network aren't visible to the ISP, it doesn't work like that unless you aren't performing NAT (which I doubt).

Sounds like the clutch to me. I can't think of any other reason for it happening (though I am a bit of a muppet when it comes to mechanical stuff). Hopefully this isn't the first of many "I've had a supercharger conversion and now I keep chewing clutches" threads, and it's just actually worn out...

Windows Movie Maker can do it, but I couldn't tell you how for the life of me. Or failing that, a 100% fully legal copy of Adobe Premiere.*

Danny's had nothing to do with my car (I don't think?). :S But if you're saying the timing is the issue, then that implies that both Andy @ K-Tec and Paul @ RS Tuning aren't mapping them correctly. I'm not trying to open a can of worms here, but with the reputation both guys have got for mapping...

Pretty good result that.

As above, it can be done by removing the arch liner and having skinny arms. One of mine stopped working not long ago and I fixed it when I removed the bumper for a separate issue (dropped a sidelight bulb into the headlight if you must know). Removing the bumper isn't hard at all. To remove the...

This. It really is piss poor. Doesn't even have postcode search IIRC?

Everyone gets hung up on BHP figures. Torque is what matters most IMO. Torque is a measure of how much turning force the engine can turn the wheels with at a given RPM. BHP is simply a figure to show how much work the engine is doing at a given moment in time.

It won't. Not if you plan on installing any of the currently available kits. You might get about 280ish with the right setup.

Same here. Everyone slags off people who want to keep their air con, moaning about how this country is always cold and it's not needed blah blah blah. Get f**ked. I intend to keep my car practical, which means retaining as much of the original spec as possible. It came with climate control which...

What figures did yours make?

There is a point where the power becomes unusable, but most of the time you never reach it. I find that when you drive one all the time you get used to it and you know when it's going to come on boost and start making crazy levels of torque. You drive the car differently and as a result and...

It's the manifold air pressure meansured in BAR. Ordinary atmospheric pressure is exactly 1 bar. Boost is a measure of pressure above normal atmospheric pressure, so it's running 0.7 bar boost (i.e; 0.7 bar above atmospheric pressure).

Why do you think turbo'd Clio's aren't very good, out of interest?

There's some reason why the Meg 225 engine won't fit into a 1*2. I think the gearbox is too big / upside down or something like that. But to answer your question yes it is worth it* ;)

Either ITB's, turbo or supercharger. It's probably possible with cams, a shed load of cylinder head work and a remap as well, but that would probably cost an absolute fortune. The other options represent more "bang for buck".

Cable throttle conversion (throttle body and pedal box from a Ph1 IIRC). De-cat. That should make it pop on the overrun. It can be enhanced with a cheeky little remap.

Might as well make me a cup if you're going round. Coffee, black, no sugar thankyouplease ;)

And do you take all the "Renault" and "Clio" badges off it while you're at it? ;)

I removed mine to make space for the Cliosport.net sticker :cool:

Nope. I went straight for the high boost setup. Full thread here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=460367

I've been in a couple of Renault 5 GTT's that have had work done by BBPT (which is what Engine Dynamics used to be called IIRC). Neither have had any mechanical issues as a result of the work done. By that logic, this kit should do the job just fine.

You'll be impressed with the difference matey. I've got the Stage 2 setup myself, but when it was first mapped it was only running 0.5 bar and made 215.7bhp. Yours SHOULD make a little bit more than that because it'll keep the standard higher compression internals. The torque is awesome and very...

No reason mate, I'm just interested to see what their conversions are like compared to mine (done by K-Tec). I want to know what different components (if any) are used and generally how they compare (power, torque, driveability, reliability etc). The OP hasn't visited this thread much since...

To Engine Dynamics?

Just updated - been meaning to do it for days. It's changed absolutely nothing as far as I can tell. Meh. At least everything still works perfectly.

No. It doesn't work like that. The ISP can't tell how many hosts are on your private network. As long as the subnet you use can accomodate more than 17 hosts you'll be fine. I presume you'll end up using a basic 24 bit subnet mask, which means you can have 254 hosts on the network before having...

The WNR2000 has a 100mbit ethernet WAN port. It's the same router Virgin Media give out to their 50mbit users. There's no ADSL modem built in, although it could be connected to a standalone ADSL modem. If you want an ADSL modem built in you need to get the DGN2000 instead.

I like it but I'd have done mine the opposite way round. I suppose hiding the holes left by removing the "Clio" badge would pose a problem though.
