Stevo My car went into limp mode but it wouldn't let me have any control over the throttle at all, just sat at 1500 rpm. fortunately wasn't far from home. Tried re-setting the ECU a few times but no joy. Ended up getting a new throttle body and jobs a gooden!!

Havin a ganders round Blandford for houses

Stevo What was the reason for taking it off the road in the first place?

K-tec have converted a 182 a couple of weeks back. The lad who owns it had it rolling roaded yesterday; 309bhp and 285 lbs/ft (FW)

Quaife used K-tec to get feedback on the diff, obviously it wasn't good but since Quaife have had the box back and replaced the snapped drive pin with a stronger one they have had no problems. The Tuner GP is a good example for that.

I noticed you were getting a pretty good BHP figure from little boost, i went the low compression route and still found the car to be quicker before the boost kicks in than a std 172.

Is that a high compression conversion, with std pistons?

No cutting what so ever, the FMI sits just behind the lower grill, looks stealth that way. K-tec have gone for a larger option on their car which requires some cutting, but they are running a bit more boost and use their car mainly on the track.

I don't think i would of taken on the build if i had to do it home!! The main factor being the access to the ramps, the amount of times my car went up and down in the air. Mike is a good lad and an awsome mechanic, glad he was around for the advice. Cheers buddy!! As Dave said there was...

Will have to get two cars on a rolling road together running the same psi, similar set-up etc to see if there is any major difference. There are pros and cons for both set-ups depends on what works for you. There is allways the option of running a small amount of Noz to keep inlet air temp...

I just get traction in third when running 12 psi. I fitted a boost controller which enables me to program the boost dependant on gears and revs, so i can run low boost in 1st and 2nd limiting the wheel spin. The Cup doesn't come with equal length drive shafts, i guess to save weight but i had...

Im interested to see how the charge cooler fairs up against a front mount. I went for a FM, so i didn't have to relocate the battery and it fits nicely behind the front bumper.

There must be a few more 172 / 182 Clio Turbos on here than me and Stevo. I recon there has to be around 8-10 on the road between BB and K-tec.

Bit more info on the Mintex pads; K-tec fitted some to the clio turbo for the Tuner GP, after 10 laps there wasn't much left on them. Apparently there was no brake fade to speak of and would recommended them as a fast road pad but not for the track, if your looking for a pad that lasts.

Certainly am my friend and loving every minute of it !!!!

Was just out for a sunday burn, some good roads out round bovington and lulworth. Are you from the area or just visiting?

Was that Sunday??

Should see it in action at the weekend, Tuner GP!

Mintex Extreme - MDB2561X

Not to sure to be honest, they came in a very well presented box, think it just said 'performance pads' for what it's worth. Will dig the box out when i get home.

Just fitted a set to the Cup last night, deffinate improvement on the std's. Recommened to me by one of the guys at me local GSF £29 + Vat. I couldn't believe how easy to fit pads to the clio!!

Think your worried, im wondering when mines gonna pop it's cloggs

I will have to keep an eye out for you guys, i live in the broadstone area. Someone beeped me the other day in a dark blue 172 as i was going up Gravel Hill, any one on here?

Hi Can any one help, im trying to fit an APEXI boost controller and need the pinout for the ECU harness, any help would be appreciated. Cheers PS It's 2002 fly by wire

Without strapping it down on the rollers i wouldn't like to say. Hopefully within the next couple of months i will find out.

From what i gather after having a nose round BB's cars at the FCS there pretty similar conversions, the main difference being the coolers.

K-Tec provided with the parts, i did the work!

I haven't put it on the rollers so im not gonna try and estimate it's power output.

Stuck in LA on business at the mo and only got this pic on me lap top, when i get back i will be able to post some more.

Worked for Liverpool Victoria for a bit, hated every minute. At the end of the day are you gonna make a claim? When you work out the excess you have to pay etc it's sometimes not worth it so if your paying just to get a piece of paper to keep mr plod happy then what the hell. I have heard of...
