turbo

This is the start of my turbo build that I am going to be doing. My plan of action is: Megane pistons and rods with uprated arp condos bolts. uprated valves and valve springs Megane head gasket Gt28 turbo and the usual other parts needed for the turbo build. I'm hoping to get a rind 270-280 bhp.

I'm aware there's probably 1000 threads relating to turbos, however none quite give me the precise info I need, so here goes! I will be stripping the 172 engine I just got and rebuilding it, with the aim of going turbo from the off. However I'm not chasing numbers, so i'm stuck in some middle...

Im thinking of going down the turbo route are there any kits availble where you can buy all the parts together and then can fit in my own time as my clio is off the road. Obviously once all up and running it will get sent to be mapped by a professional. Im trying to keep the costs down and...

Hello Guys & Gals, been on here since 2011 and owned 7 Clio's now ranging from 1.2 to Sports! I have just bought a RenaultSport Clio 182 FF black with a load of mods which I will be turbo-ing early next year! The reg of the car is RE54NLU so if anyone has owned this let me know! Happy...

from the article: This 1984 Renault 5 Turbo 2 has been fitted with a Maxi-style rally kit and of course looks fantastic. Described as being in excellent, ready to run condition, 300 HP is claimed and the car sounds to be FIA legal as well. This is what you drive if a normal homologation 5 Turbo...

Hello people, so me and my brother own a track day 172. its road legal but majority of its life is spent on a track. its more than capable and its amazing fun, I have just as much fun as the 50k gtr's that whizz past me but we keep thinking a little extra power would be nice. so I wanted to ask...

Hello just thought i would pop along and share a couple of pics of a clio turbo iv been building for a mate, this is a budget build that i have built at my house with only basic tools so its not perfect by any stretch. here is a quick spec. f4r block f4rt crank f4rt head and cams wossner...

Popped up last night on Facebook. I don't know why but I really l really love saxos. This ones 181bhp mapped on the standard ecu;

Hi, since having the turbo conversion done on my 182, the exhaust tone has been muffled by the turbo, its not half as meaty as it used to be. I know this is normal, but i am wanting a louder tone when giving it some. It does sound nice with chatter and nice bangs etc, but i just want a meatier...

Got a clio 172 cup got a turbo ad everything ready to get it turboed but what power gains have people got?

Is anyone else following Project Binky on youtube? The attention to detail and fabricating skills are amazing. Is there any other projects like this on youtube.

Having read a few of the other threads im just wanting to find out where the best place to fit a return line is. If i put it in the sump, what happens about it being below the oil level? wheres the best place to put it in the block.

I have this week purchased 197 cams for my 182 clio I got Farley cheap, just a query I am looking into turboing my car in the future and I will e fitting the cams shortly, someone of my mates knows someone that can time them correctly, what I'm wondering is.... can I turbo my car with the 197...

Okay so ive asked father christmas for a few goodies ;) one being a remote start and turbo timer, built up on the fact i like cooling and warming my phase 1 up. anyone know any good remote start systems which is also a turbo timer that will fit a NA car cheers

Whats your opinion guys, would you think its more worthwhile going down the turbocharing route with my 182, or better off just buying another car eg. leon cupra R? My 182 is coming up to 95,000 on the clock and has just had the gearbox fully rebuilt. Pro's and con's of going down the turbo...

Just trying to track down my car sold it in April this year to a guy called Dean I think in Loughborough area it was a 172 cup with a turbo conversion done by @Andyrg@ ClioTurbo Reg was SC53 OCY doubt it would be for sale but you never know!

Afternoon gents, Finished the last track day with an issue as ever... Car was idling at 4000rpm with oil out the breather. We'd been holding above 6500rpm down the straights which would help pressurise the crankcase. The breather vents to atmosphere, not into the inlet. Fast forward today...

Wish I could take on this as a project. Sadly the wife won't have it for her daily 😞 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-21-Turbo-Phase-1-200bhp-80s-Super-Saloon-Retro-Car-5-GT-Clio-WIlliams-/171525906882?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27efbda1c2

This morning driving around the back of the new Co-op head office in central Manchester.

I Have a track clio 172 phase 1 fitted with a 182 engine. As it won't get used over the next 6 months, I'm considering doing a turbo conversion myself. Have done some reading on the mwm clio that used a 197 head, I plan on doing something similar. Have already got a turbo lying around from my...

I'm planning on getting a high boost conversion but i want to get the car setup ready for it, how well would the 02m box run on a non turbo 182 ?

I need to buy a pump, I remember reading make sure I buy genuine? Has anybody bought one from eBay? Or any other supplier and it's genuine with all parts included to fit? Any links would be great. I have also been advised to buy a 1.2 housing setup as they use same as 172/182/ Twingo , pre fit...

I'm looking to add a little more bhp & torque to my 182 but for little money (don't see the point in pouring £4K into it as in the end, its only a clio)! Was thinking that maybe the low boost turbo from a 1.2/1.4TCE engine could add 20 or so bhp? Possible? Also as its really low boost, would...

Was wondering if there is a turbo kit for my 1.6 ph2 k4m Clio ? And if not what I would need to do to turbo charge it like what turbo would be the best etc ?

Hewoo, im thinking about going down the turbo route, im looking at the 4k kit that andy offers but my gear box at the moment could use a refurb so im wondering what options do I have as im sure the standard one couldn't handle the power, id like 280-300 bhp and as much torque as I can have :)...

my car has been up for a sale for a while but i have now added it onto ebay so i have decided to share it here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-R5-LeCar-2-Turbo-gordini-turbo-alpine-turbo-classic-retro-/231342805084

Hello everyone, I have recently acquired a clio 172 cup 02 plate and have been looking at mods to get the best out the car. I had been looking at the rs tuner hardware/software and am still undecided (my mate reckons its probs better to go for a low psi turbo) and keep going back to the website...

Been after something for winter then this little Clio came about last week, my friend is going to Uni so she had to get rid. Its fairly ropey on the bodywork side of things (women drivers) but the engine is sweet as a nut with just 70,000 miles on the clock I matched her webuyanycar after...

I'm just weighing up my options of racing my car either turboed or go the n/a route (which I really don't like the idea of). My main question is, have many people raced 172 turbos and how did you get on with reliability because I don't want too be breaking it every time I use it! but 165hp is...
