Boost Pressure Guage

[Westy26]

Hi guys / Gals

I have a new clio and i seem to have a problem - i cant find anywhere to run my boost pressure pipe through from the engine bay to the footwell or cabin area... it seem there is no way it can go through, the only place i have not looked in behinf the heat shield behind the turbo.

Does anyone know how i can do this please?


Thank you :approve:

yep looked at that, it disapears into somewhere i cant get to.

Ive looked at ECU cables battery cables etc etc.

it disappears in the engine bay where all the brake cables go to back underneath where the header tank is

Ok thank you, it seems i must remove endless amounts of unnessasery plastic to follow it then... bigger job than i thought...

On another note. Do you know if the 1.2 turbo has an oil cooler? i see the intercooler but no oil cooler?

thank you for the reply.

Ah mk 3 it is then! Sorry im new to clios - dont shoot me when i say i used to have a saxo VTR.

So i can fit my 13 row mocal from the saxo onto the clio then!? Hmm i wonder if mocal do a thermostatic end plate for the tiny oil filter i have.

It would look nice with a mocal and the standard intercooler brought forward on show. What do you think?:S

No need for the oil cool less our trackin it IMO if you want to upgrade anything go with a larger intercooler for looks.

EDIT: to be honest the first thing i would do is slam it as standard there waaaaaaaaay to high !!

Mine as an example....

Zorst, Bailey dump valve, Boost guage, small arial, are my first changes.

You can only get 35mm springs atm - how poo is that - im not paying for a full damper & spring set yet! 45mm - 50mm will suit nice with dampers,as and when, that drop isnt massive so handling isnt ruined. Then brakes are on the radar... will any of the old brakes fit the mk3, 172 or 182 etc?

first things first though the dam boost guage!

i can see it now! i like that, different front vents to mine, also the centre caps are gone from wheels - love the black wheels! i wonder what smll m3 mirrors would look like?

nice!

Coils are the way forward mate ive got the Weitec GT coils from Ktec on mine, had one of the first sets in the UK..Its lowered round 70mm rear and 60 front.

Front grill is the RS 197 Grill i wrote i guide on how to fit it in the guides section, as for center caps they were off so i can respray them as they were shitly done by the company.

 

[Westy26]

imo thats to low for optimum performance but i bet it looks the nuts. Ill wait and get a damper and spring set up. i like the look of the 197 grill... think ill look into prices of those plastics.

i had black (purple 2 tone) wheels on the sax it looked great, think ill get the clios sprayed now... lol

 

[Westy26]

where is that thred on fitting the 197 grill??

please will you post it below so i can go straight to it.

thanks

 

[BioHzrd]

Optimum performance being what mate ??

Oh and about the M3 mirrors Please for the love of god dont !!

You need to be a payed up member before you go use the guides

brill, who did you get 25mm spacers from?

 

[Westy26]

i think we have degressed...

The boost guage pipe...... dam thing... where can it go.... keep your rude comments please lads!!

 

[Westy26]

has anyone fitted one on a new clio before?

 

[Westy26]

id muddle on myself then guys..... : (

 

[BioHzrd]

No ones fitted one at all along with the oil cooler no need less you plan on sizing up the turbo and going track.....

Just follow the bonnet cable youll get through there if need be take off the wheel arch on the passenger side.

i was trying to get the standard air box off yesterday but dam thats not easy! looks like you have to rove the battery out of th way... wondering if there is a way through behind it...

Bonnet cable is the first port of call we think then?

Oil coolers look nice front mounted and help prolong life no 100% needed but all teh same i think a worthy addition.
