George's turbo 182 project.
I have owned my FF 182 for over 3 years now, I purchased it as a 40k mile - full service history car and it was in pretty good condition for its age.
Initially the plan was to keep it completely standard and up until now I have done reasonably well!
Firstly...
Hi I currently have a 2011 Clio 3 1.2 TCE and I am relatively new to having a turbo (I know its small, but its a nice difference!).
On acceleration from 2nd to 3rd, if I change when the turbo JUST cuts in at 2.2K RPM (Where you can feel the extra pull) then Ill get turbo flutter. If I leave...
my turbo'd 182 is back at efi tomora to uprate the fuel setup to hopefully fix the jerking when hitting 2500 rpm. new walbro 255 pump going in and ph1 fuel rail and reg. hopefully run fine after. been playing around with the engine bay cleaning bits up and giving them abit of colour wilst its...
I am very nearly ready to start the build - just need some advice on a couple more bits.
Would a phase 1 cable throttle set up be beneficial in any way?
Also - as far as aftermarket management goes : what features would I loose if I didn't use the gen90 (I have a ff182) and are there other...
I'm in a predicament...
I've got a GW 200 fully spec'd including, cup chassis, leather Recaros, satnav etc etc which I use for my daily and cover approximately 20 miles per day. It's done just over 17k on an 11 plate. I keep it in very good condition.
I have seen, as I'm sure most you you guys...
Looking for a bit of advice, has anyone ever turbocharged a clio GT? If so is there a company that does custom turbo kits? My mate said someone on here was talking about a GT turbo. Cheers, Liam! :D
From what I have read most turbo conversions on here use helix paddle clutches.
I have been in touch with helix and the 4 paddle clutch is only rated for 230lbft of torque!
Are there any other options?
ok i know this has been covered alot so i apologise now.
I am looking at making a turbo conversion. i want to keep the 172 head as i have seen the one made by michael woodford where he uses the 197 head. im not confident in drilling and tapping the head and that is more money i would rather...
Bit of an school boy question, but is it possible to put a megane 225 engine into a clio 182, as in are they the same engine mounts or is there a lot more to it?
Saw this today in Warwick at the retro classic car show... Anyone know the owner? Looked very tidy!
excuse the crap iPhone pictures... Wish I'd taken some shots of the other cars now
What a good clean 5 turbo worth theses days ? I'm going to see one today but there r very few in Northern Ireland so it's hard for me go know what it's worth
I'm told it's very clean 109k on it
Well with the history of Andyrg and his crazy turbo conversions we decided with dTM and clioturbo.co.uk we would make a forced induction clio.
The base car is a 60k 182 black gold with cup packs, and we purchased this as a none runner with a transmission issue.
Took it apart to find the...
Morning people,
buying a kit from andyrg for my 172 cup. Was ideally going to get him to fit it but hes 4 hours from me so quite a way. Is there anyone local to me, farnborough, hants who can fit when i buy from him? If not looks like i got a long journey :-(

hi ive just got a turbo edition badge for my 182 and was unsure were to put it on the back. should i put it under the clio and leave the rest of the badges on or should i remove and replace the "sport". or i could remove both the left badges??? after some...
I am about to commence my turbo build and I am after some turbo recommendations.
I will be running a forged block and the engine dynamics exhaust manifold.
Thanks in advance!
I think it's that time we'll start seeing and hearing more about these new "Power Units".
Some of you will have heard the clip of Renault's effort recently, (on a test bench) which they claim they weren't giving it beans.
Below is a dyno sound clip of Merc's with a mock up of the Monza...
Thought I'd just post these up as I still remember the days of owning each of them and miss them all fondly in their own way :o
I keep thinking about scratching that itch for a Williams as it's one car I desperately wanted to own and they seem to be getting more and more expensive!
1st was...
Does anyone know of anywhere that sell turbo manifolds for the f4r other than ktec.
Ive had a look about but can only come up with ktec.
Im sure ive seen them else were a while ago
Thanks
i bought clio 80bhp without turbo bearing and with bad injectors, i replaced injectors from 60bhp clio and upgraded turbo. another day i saw 3 management light on dashboard:mad:. and compression is gone. what can it be?:S Thanks for the help ;)
About 30 minutes ago by Talbot Green roundabout, Llantrisant.
Wondering if it's anybody on here.
Black 172, blacked out rear windows with the usual white stickers on the back that make it look like a plasterers radio.
Think it was turbo'd, made all the angry sounds I'd expect a turbo'd 172 to...
hi
im having problems with my fueling on my 182 turbo and ended up buying a new ph1 setup from a renault parts place and a high pressure walbro pump following most peoples advice. i was just wondering how and why the ph1 setup is better than the in-tank setup on the 182. just interested in what...
hi all not doing this right away but was hoping that them who have done this could shed some light on the subject
firstly what gains are we looking at?
whats best to go for supercharger or turbo whats the difference between the pair
whats involved what will i need
and lastly what price...
Well i thought it was about time i put together a project thread for my car, so here goes...
After buying the car back in March ive been making a few tweaks to get it to its current spec.
I bought the car as a low pressure turbo 172 cup running a very small amount of boost due to a weak...
hi,
i had origionaly bought a 172 fuel PR and fuel rail to convert back to the ph1 fuel setup but got ripped of by sum t**t from gumtree. im finding it hard to find another ph1 setup. i was wondering if you can still buy these ph1 regulators from renault new? also if any1 has used a good...
I used to have the 182 and loved it but I'm a slight car ho and just change every year so I had a load of cash and bought the 200, but it's just nothing like the 182 when it comes to fun imo
yes it's a lot more capable car, quicker in a straight line and faster through corners but never feels...
