BTW, if anyone...
After a hiatus, i'm backing for business.
I recently bought a Citro AX GTi, so i'm spending some time (and money) with it :)
Now, hope in the next few days get a new set of injectors with more fuel delivery to test it with my new turbo at 1.7bar of boost.
Then i'll notice you for results and...
Work in progress :=)
OK! I'm back with some news.
Some new pics:
New turbo:
Tomorrow will do the new downpipe and next week i expect to have the front clio RS bumper painted to fit.

Not yet.
I'm on vacation and i my time is for my wife :) eheheh
Also, i'm moving from another house and i'm buying an AX GTi to play a little.
I believe clio will be finished with the new turbocharger and front bumper from 172/182.
Next step will be to add some power to the AX GTi :)...
Don't forget that Clio III 1.5 105hp has also TL4 6 speed gearbox, and that's the same k9k engine, so i believe it should be not so different.
I will analyse this, but i will try to fit it :)

Well,
if we stop we die, so, as i will install a new turbo, i went shopping:
Garrett Actuator calibrated to 1.4bar of boost:
Better pics from front Clio Trophy Calippers and Discs and rear Clio 172/182 Discs:
Custom front grill
Sports Seats
TO-DO:
- New turbo...
The hardware is plug&play.
But to manage to get ABS work properly we need to change the rear ABS tooth crown.
The drums abs crown has different tooth number and in that way the abs will calculate different wheel turns, so the ABS will be deactivated.
To solve this issue just buy to ABS...
Hahhh that's the b*stard CommonRail pomp.
I call it the "Christmas Tree"
When in high revs the CR pomp is in full load and the CR pressure drops... so that's the warning.
Clio dci CR pomp can do 1400bars, but in full load drops to 700/800bar.
Thats why.

Hi!!
Good news....
Got these things this week:
And a new turbo, an hybrid GT1544v from the 1.6 HDI PSA engines, but with upgrade intake and exhaust turbines.
like this in the outside:
I'm waiting for a new garrett actuator and new custom injector nozzles.
I'll be posting news.

Well,
clutch in place and the car looks more agressive switching gears.
And the first problem i had, broken engine/clutch support (too much torque) :)

Hi Martin,
well i went to a clutch shop that do this king of jobs and for competition cars/trucks.
Yesterday i arrived there (clutch shop) about 9am, went shopping with my wife for about 6 hours and it was the time it took to get ready.
Cost: about 160£
Later today i will pick up my...
That's it,
Upgrading the clutch
Photos from the uprated clutch
Disc with Ferodo and Copper
Fly-wheel:
The car will only be ready to roll tomorrow evening, and i'm dying till then to try the new clutch.
Photo from below the engine bay:
And an little off-topic...
Yes, the injectors, the real pain.
But i believe soon i'll get uprated injectors.
I'm working in the past months and yesterday i've been talking to a friend that works with diesel fuel pumps and injectors, and maybe it will be possible to change the nozzles from the stock dci80/100...
Hy Martin,
well some fresh news about the clutch.
Next Tuesday, i will take my old clutch to rebuild and uprate it.
It will be uprated with ferodo and bronze to handle about 260lb/ft, i believe that's more than enough :)
This month planned updates:
-Sports GTB seats
-Coils
-Front...
