300+ BHP clio

[steVee 6]

Am thinking of giving the Clio V6 a bit of a boost but am not keen to go by way of forced induction but would like to achieve over 300bhp maybe 320 if possible.

So I was wondering after cams, exhaust and induction and maybe fitting a motec ECU to run the engine management are there any ITBs available for the Vee and if so who sells them.

thanks for any help.

 

[Saner]

YozzaSport?

 

[Fred@BTM]

throtle bodies my good man, or if you want to go for the tried and tested route give SG motorsport a shout, he's done a few just over 300bhp with cams etc etc

not a cheap car to tune though!

10k PLus.

Yep! And emphasis on 10k+++ Janspeed mani's and zorst, man in IK. Will see you up'in the torque a bit. BHP won't change much...

 

[n0rm]

thats a pish take tbh LOL..deffo limit a vee to suspenion mods max then!!!


ill keep with my 1.2 tbqff

 

[Ali]

indeed. I've got KW's, Pipercross, map and Zorst. Runs std power now! lol.

 

[n0rm]

cool mate im seriously considering the CATD mars red ph1 on ph's at the min for a bus

 

[steVee 6]

Ok thanks for the advice, if i did decide on a few mods the KWs would be first then have it set up to hopefully make best use of a set of R888s which the camber adjustment built into the KWs should allow.

plus have a few other subtle tweaks in mind to improve things further and finally look for a bit more power.

I take it then that only Yozzasport can supply a set of ITBs for the V6??? what about GDI as i have read on here they make everything first and all the others just copy.

or is that just a pack of lies.

 

[TheJesus]

GDI use Jenvey and/or AT Power ITB's. AT Power at the people that designed the ITB's that BenR pretended he'd designed for over a year before being 'exposed'... if that's what you are referring to Ms Nicks.

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

what bhp are vees standard? is it 250

 

[Mark One]

255 supposedly on a ph2^^

Get throttle bodies.

Am I right in thinking that the megane euro trophy racers have bored Vee engines in???
Surely there must be tuning kit available from them, if not buy one of those engines?

 

[Inferno]

Nitrous oxide for a cheap fix.

more like an exspensive fix, speak to MATT BLACK about V6 engines and NOS lol

ITB's or forced induction, unless there's a more powerful Laguna engine that could be used

i am not interested in the who done what when and why,, do GDI sell inlets and bodies for the V6, mr numb nuts.

The 230 is round about 212'ish.

The 255 is round about 245'ish.

Mine likes round abouts.

 

[doh123]

Lose a few hundredweights Mr Steve and you will find your V feeling appreciably quicker. lol

 

[steVee 6]

i may of put on a few pounds but i am not that heavy. LOL

your right though weight is the killer.

 

[theduck]

Replace the engine with a tuned 1.8 20vT?

 

[cat171]

Also it would be worth speaking to Mike T over on v6clio.net (if you haven't already)

 

[Ali]

Forget ITB's nobody's ducessfully done it yet. Until somebody shows me a workin TB'd Vee it simply doesn't interest me!

Spk to SG motorsport, only ones that have a proven track record. Not sure how much work YS or GDI do on Vee's!

Theres an old geezer round here that does & can be verified by Alexs on here I havn't actually seen it myself though.

I thought Fred had?

 

[Dash]

I believe Fred has working t/bs. Don't know about YS but as their mechanics are highly skilled and qualified, I shouldn't think there would be much problem.

GDI are quite conversant with all aspects of the v6 and all of their staff are fully qualified to undertake such work as fitting a few t/bs, fault diagnosis and test driving etc. Think I remember seeing loads of certificates on the office walls.

I expect AWT would also know how to throw a few shiny bits at an engine.

 

[theduck]

iirc Freds has been built, but havent seen any results/it running etc.

i am not interested in the who done what when and why,, do GDI sell inlets and bodies for the V6, mr numb nuts.

Spoke to Tim last week at Renault World Series (guy with the blue mk1 with Throttle bodies on it). He said Yozza aren't doing the throttle bodies anymore mate.

if thats true then how can they advertise it as 230bhp and 255bhp if they arn't?

Surely thats false advertising?

 

[172Ben]

Coz they advertise then in ps imagine?

 

[theduck]

There isnt that much difference between PS and BHP.

230ps is 226.85bhp
255ps is 251.51bhp

well he's wrong! we had Jenvey develop them for us, they even have yozzasports name on them

 

[172Ben]

That looks awesome!!

 

[Ali]

So what! - a set of bodies! Get em working ya fagger!

Clio v6 bhp figure is as bench tested, it's impossible to get enough air in the vent on the rollers!

I have to say I am a little surprised that you have not seen a vee on bodies Ali knowing your track connections.

I still go to watch the odd race meeting these days and I have seen a few rallycross V6s running throttle bodies very very successfully.

bit of vid and for the cynics who say oh the V6s are at the back again just bear in mind that these are the finals and the clios are the only 2wd cars in Europe to make the finals. All of the other cars here are 4wd turbocharged cars running about 700bhp including per eklunds Saab.

Fred and Yoz are the only ones to have a throttle body kit for the V6 on the market which is good work in my book,, would love to see / hear this car on track.

 

[steVee 6]

saw this in the back of a clio V6 and a couple of others at croft all were going well and sound superb,, would look tasty too through the back window of a clio.

Been away from the motorsport scene for yrs mate...But as far as a marketable set up goes...I see none! :S

 

[drhowser]

10k PLus.

it was closer to 20k to be honest, and that is without the cam changeover working.
but, when that is done and it has a new fuel pump scott is expecting a few more bhp out of it
