Just got my 172 back from KTR after it's stage 2 turbo conversion (300 bhp) Currently running in on low boost, still feels quick when turbo starts producing boost.
Has anyone else got a turbo 172/182 and can offer any advice or comments.
Thanks
im new here mate and wondering how much these conversions cost and where bouts is ktr. did you have forged rods and pistons in aswell
he's off the renaultsport forum, i think he's serious!
^ agreed. Pics
I feel sorry for the gearbox.
Why does everyone think he is lying?
id avoid full throttle in first gear too (probably useless with that sort of power anyway!)

Because he wanted advice 'after' having a 6k+ engine conversion. Usually its the other way round ....alarm bells started to ring
300bhp in a fwd clio, my god i bet its a b**ch to handle, imagine all the understeer lol would be stupid, i will stick to my 1.2 lol

I just got my engine rebuilt by ktec a week ago. Not allowed past 4000rpm for a while, but already I can feel the power difference.
300bhp is not unlikely. I had 250bhp proven before my engine rebuild.
As for advice. Warm up, warm down, doesnt hurt it.
Keep an eye on the oil and coolant, check it daily. If you don't you could miss any problems and end up with a knackered engine.
Also, don't dump the clutch, don't do agressive starts.
Best I find is to get the car rolling then foot flat to the floor, taking time changing gears and don't force it.
interested in some pictures. How much you spent on it so far?
