clio 16v chassis

[Ben j]

how much bhp and torque can they handle?

and r there re-inforced/uprated ones available?

 

[BenR]

Um, i dont think youll be able to make enough power before you start overly stressing the chassis. They are strong, but not that strong......

Nicks turbo if he was psuhing 350bhp would about about there, still......it wont break it. The nova chassis used to split at the struts and inner wing when you had a 2ltr with about 170bhp pushing through it.

If you want an uprated(?) chassis, youll have to build one.

U could have it Seam welded ?

Si

 

[BenR]

at massive cost for minimal benefit on the rd.

Rd. tyres jsut dont produce the grip needed to stress the chassis.

Dont know what you intend putting in it but not a hope in hell of strssing it unless your delivering serious BHP!

I agree with BenR (cos he paid me too !) that maybe Nick Reads may be close to it but certainly within the bounds.

 

[Ben j]

im lookin at 300+ bhp and 300 + lbs of torque kind of stress on the chassis

 

[BenR]

lol, when u get that, give us a bell....................

unless your wedging a V8 in there.

Still, youll be fine with that, im assuming its the turbo.

 

[Ben j]

muwahahahahaha!!! a few people know what i want!! but i need the money too!!



anyone know where i can get sponsors for this?? it will be a show stopper, and magazines will be begging!! so advertisements on my car welcome, it will get looked at LOTS!!!

 

[BenR]

lol, youll have to build it first!

we all have pipe dreams.....and the downfall is ALWAYS money! lol

 

[Mike Wright]

Chassis will easy take 300+ bhp etc...If your talking 500+ then you may have some chassis problems!

Build it first then show it to your potential sponsors!

 

[Ben j]

its a company thats gonna build it at a v. good price... but im waiting to hear info yet on it anyway so its not a definate.. im just finding out info in case
