[CUP TURBO]

As matter of interest, how many clio sport turbos are out there and how many are on the forum?

 

[The Hoff]

Theres's only one turbo on here that posts with any regularity afaik, thats Steve172-250. But theres a fair few with ITB's.

Who did your turbo conversion lad? Lets have some pics etc

[CUP TURBO]

[samcourtney86]

[CUP TURBO]

[lawrence]

[stevo172-RWD]

[CUP TURBO]

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.

 

[hoggaz]

Yours is the only 172 cup I have seen with a turbo. You may be the 1st.

I love that! agree with the last comment and being self built you get my thumbs up ^ .. well done mate! :approve:

 

[Zonda]

I see you've gone for the FMI rather than the charge cooler would be good to see your reports when you get back on the RR'd or test runs up the quarter.

 

[Batman]

k-tec have done 2 customer cars a 172 full fat and a 182 full fat and then their own 2 turbo cars aswell but have foreign interest in the turbo kits also, i was going to go for a turbo conversion but i'm undecided wether just to by a faster car in the first place

 

[cK]

faster car or vag engine imo

 

[CUP TURBO]

I see you've gone for the FMI rather than the charge cooler would be good to see your reports when you get back on the RR'd or test runs up the quarter.

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.

Whats it like on the road, grip wise and torque steer? I'd love a turbo convo but will certainly have to add a LSD i reckon.

 

[keben6]

What was the cost of the turbo mate?

 

[Gary-Lew]

cup turbos engine picture is the one K-tec use on their site

Whats it like on the road, grip wise and torque steer? I'd love a turbo convo but will certainly have to add a LSD i reckon.

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 to change it over to the equal length, coz i had a few scary moments when accelerating, the car wanted to pull me across the road.

I don't think the gear box is gonna last too long with the power im putting through it so im gonna look for a new box which i can get strengthened and slap an LSD in that.

 

[Zonda]

you must have good experience with engine building/tuning to do this yourself, how long did it take you to fit the kit and have it all set up and running?

 

[K-Tec Racing]

We will soon have details of some individual turbo kit components on our site along with prices.

Dunc did a great job putting his engine together and this was done in our workshop with Mike (our head machanic) on hand for guidance. It took a while from start to finish but part of that was due to us finishing development on certain parts but I think you will agree it was worth the wait.

David.
