Just flicking through the paperwork at costings and prices of parts, they come into various categories and only relate to this build thread. The main part of the kit itself is from K Tec, purchased 2nd hand it was 90% complete. What came in the kit that I purchased: Rotrex supercharger with...

I'm at work at the moment but I'll take the time to make a more in depth reply this evening. Just really happy to get those figures last night. There's more to say later but for now...... I'm pretty chuffed with how its all turned out, the build and the end figures

Completely stock everything Ben

Ok, copy and pasted from the e mail Chris sent me yesterday evening I've managed 256hp and 205lb/ft. Its just peaking at 10.5psi at 7300rpm, drops to about 9-10 once it's done a couple pulls and got warm. I've put limiter at 7400rpm. It should go well :) So there we go, all the work done...

***BIG UPDATE*** I don't know why but I've not checked my e mails all day, I've literally just checked and lo and behold I have an e mail from Chris at EFi Parts sent at about 7pm Monday evening. A brief e mail stating a power and torque figure for the PB :quiet: :)

It definitely needs a wash which doesn't help the colour being filthy. I'll resist the urge to ask where it's at with the work as I've not heard anything from Chris yet. Tutuur if it's back before FCS I'll do my very best to be there

I should be getting the PB back on the 31st so i could give it a wash and pop over

It should be ready 31st May the latest, I'm seriously considering FCS which I believe is the weekend after. I wouldn't mind it on the stand if I do go but the decision will be a last minute one. Are you going then?

Really appreciate the comments Craig :) and thanks for taking the time to reply to the PMs regarding questions on the conversion, it's been a big help. I sent Chris an e mail last night about a couple of things I needed to let him know, I had a reply today. I thought the last part of his reply...

Weirdly.. Not yet, well a little. I think a bit more when I hear some feedback from Chris at some point during the mapping process (if he does that, I don't know) It hasn't sunk in that within 2 weeks time I'll be getting into a Clio with potentially 250 horsepower. I have absolutely no idea...

Chris is wiring in the Adaptronic into the OE loom as a piggy back for the boost side of things (ignition and fuel) the stock ECU stays to keep most of the OE 182 factory features. He's mapping from scratch and believe he'll need to check the map for every scenario (cold start, running from...

It nearly came to that Scott. I was going to buy a Renault Laguna diesel estate with a towbar for £600 last Thursday, use this weekend then sell it on or get shot of my other Laguna and keep the estate. I would have just let you use it mate no worries. I'd say hire the Transit transporter, the...

A friend of a friend is a car dealer and had a SsangYong Rexton 4x4 available to let me use. His mate has asked him to sell it while he's in Spain so he let me borrow it http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/SsangYong_Rexton_RX270_XDi_Facelift.JPG Beggars can't be choosers, it did...

I saw a white Corsa tucked up in the corner of the workshop, was it that one? There was a green Corsa being put on the rollers just as I was leaving

Well, after the dramas of the towing vehicle no go earlier this week I finally managed to get another sorted yesterday morning. I picked up the trailer after work yesterday, put the Clio on and left this morning at 7am. 11 hours and 468 miles later I'm back at home. Had a good chat with Chris...

Scattle that would be good if you could get any info, worth a punt,:)

With the Meg 225 injectors and Walbro pump mine turns over but won't idle, far too rich. I dont want to or have the bits to swap back, would just rather trailer it knowing I haven't coursed any damage to the engine. The trailer and towing vehicle were booked in advance, it's just put a spanner...

I know what you mean about not trusting people with my car, especially giving the keys to someone I've only met that day. I also had a bad experience with Shiply when they tried to pick up the RB 182 I bought a couple of years ago, they damaged the front cup splitter trying to load it on the...

Not the greatest project update post but it might help me out. So the Clio is booked in with EFI to be there this Saturday, a trailer is booked for weekend hire and also had a towing vehicle to borrow. So as it stood until this morning everything was in place for me to tow it up there early...

BIGASH totally offtopic to the thread, i've just tried to send you a PM but it seems the Inbox is full :o

Thinking out loud, the calipers have bolted to the hub/brackets ok with the disc in situ i.e the disc is on and when you've offered up the caliper to the bracket the bolts are misaligned because the disc is far too big in diameter. 2 options maybe, dremel the caliper as suggested or machine the...

Pretty sure the red Clio is a 200 Raider, I've seen it a few times on the way home on the A127 and also seen it parked up outside Churchills bar in Southend more than once.

This project just never fails when the updates come in, cracking work Scott

Would like to fit 20mm spacers up front and 10 on the rear just to fill out the arches. I'm gonna have the suspension geo sorted when it's back too, have it lowered a bit more.

Chris (Scoff) will have the Clio the best part of a week, wiring in the Adaptronic and mapping it. Can map it in various states, cold start etc. Still love the idea that it looks completely OE exterior but running decent horsepower. . by Ricard o1, on Flickr

Yes! Absolutely stunning Vee

Picked the Clio up yesterday, well I had a friend who owns a farm with multiple vehicles drive me up there to pick it up in his Toyota Land Cruiser 4.5l V8. It certainly made light work towing it the 40 miles back from the workshop. Also had a result with storage space for the Clio while it...

Must be nice to own something like this, and race it. Oh, crap at PC tech so can't embed videos. Hopefully not a repost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKWlgpScYs0

Not that I've heard it happen but it could be a potential non pay out on a technicality. You'd have to be dam unlucky if it came to that, but maybe if the accident was a result of a tyre issue it could be a deciding factor? I have the Michelin Pilot Sport 3s on my 182...
