Nope but they do run and look after some big power cars and rally cars, I'm sure they will be able to do a Clio without problems. The set up on a Clio is similar to a lot of modern cars with no key ways used on the pulleys.
Very true Chip i know what you mean , I do try to use the same rollers before and after mods to rule that out as much as possible.
Yip I meant at the fly somewhere around 180/185 at the wheels I would hope ??
I normally only pay attention to the at the wheel figures on graphs.
Spec : super chip , power flow exhaust, matched inlet, viper intake
Spec : engine dynamics cams , jenvey 48mm bodies, power flow exhaust , 60 mm trumpets , standard injectors.
Winter plans are 120 mm trumpets , bigger...
Re: Road/Track 172
Winter plans are 120 mm trumpets , bigger injectors, raised comp, ported head and a 182 manifold . I am hoping for a real 215 bhp and 170ftlb
Thanks will get it lightly ported and probably look at uprated valves as already have cams and bodies , doing around 180 atw justnow.
Have read about the belt tension problem if too much is taken off but also a few people using a bigger idler pulley to sort it.
At what sort of level does a phase 1 head become restrictive ? I've just bought one to use as part of a winter upgrade but will it be worth getting it ported before fitting.
I have also read on here about skimming the head for upping the comp ratio a little, bit of a cheap skate way of doing...
Good stuff Stu was saying he had an omex 600 and loom so would be an ideal set up.
I bought a head from Stu at the weekend so going to get that ported and skimmed a bit to up the comp ratio for a bit more power over winter.
Last time it was on the rollers it was 179 atw , I noticed on the straights I was pulling but need to get more track days in as my lines through the back section were s**t. I also need to get my bigger injectors fitted as they are at 100% at 6700 rpm so have my limiter set low.

Couple of pictures from Saturdays open pit morning at knockhill.
Car was faultless all day drove it there did 6 track sessions including a couple of 30+ min sessions, changed the wheels and drove home :approve:
And since the focus is now sold I got a sensible 330D...
Yip that was me in the other cup, was good that there was a lot of clios out. Was first time out in my car since making alot of changes but it seemed to go ok and lasted the day without a problem.
Re: Road/Track 172
Got new coilovers fitted and alignment done, I've went for -2.5 camber and 10min toe out justnow and will see how I get on with that tomorrow at knockhill.
So gave the car a quick check over and loaded up the truck with wheels and tools ready.
With there being a good few Scottish owners on here would use be interested in having a rolling road day, I was going to see Simon at Sitech for a price. He is based in Rosyth so central and easy to get to for most people.
Re: Road/Track 172
Had a couple of hours on the Clio today to hopefully get it ready for a trackway at the weekend, all the old suspension removed and went to fit camber shims to the rear only to find out it has some fitted:).
Fitted a rear tow strap
Vented the front bumper
This is a...
