clio 172 cup or 182 supercharged how fast?

[Sparkyp23]

just wondering how fast roughly would you reakon a supercharged one would be 0-60 i know every car may vary but a rough guess or anyone thats experienced one would be great, i fancy a little sleeper project seeing as these new amg mercs m135 bmw civic type r n new focus rs are on the way and a supercharged clio would be a fraction of the price of these cars, what you think folks would a supercharged one give any of these a good go

 

[jamesycc]

I really want to supercharge mine. I've heard figures of roughly 250bhp. Probably knock a second of your 0-60 I would guess.

 

[ADS_V6]

what about a turbo conversion?

 

[imprezaworks]

It would be from say 30 onwards it would kiss a standard Clio goodbye. Google super charged clios they are mega quick. I've driven a turbo one and it was relentless

 

[bloke]

0-60 times are for people who haven't started shaving yet.

 

[fairm010]

@Cub. s is charged.

 

[Dooby]

Boosted clios are about 3rd, 4th and 5th..

 

[Cub.]

Mines 250bhp and 220lb ft supercharged.

If you want outright 0-60 times I'd recommend turbo'd.

Not timed 0-60, but it isn't a slouch by any means.

 

[imprezaworks]

I'd have no issues in keeping up with a Clio turbo or a supercharged one. Conditions would be in neutral only

 

[ADS_V6]

or reverse

 

[imprezaworks]

Or that. I reckon I'm pretty quick at unlocking my car

 

[ADS_V6]

think how long it takes to wax yours mate 0-60 in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I really want to convert mine but 3-4k is a lot to be invested into a £1500 car.
I'm going to hold out for an RS2, and go down the cage & buckets route and just keep enjoying it. Putting £4k into the car to me, means it's got to be doing it's thing a few times a month rather than 6 times a year as I've done this year.

 

[DannyR]

In real comparisons my 250bhp one was equal with an M3 all the way to 150, nothing in it at all anywhere

 

[masekwm]

@DannyR You've had a few of these with a charger, how hard is it to fit one?

 

[bill]

My r26 is is 296bhp and in gear acceleration is awesome, overtaking is a breeze in any gear, only really had a few run ins, one duel against a Porsche 996 c4s it was a t plate with 300bhp, had a few runs with it, megane came out on top in all circumstances, the other with a CL63 AMG, with a bird driving it, I got smoked but to be expected. it's a very quick car, so a supercharged/turbo Clio must be a right weapon, forget 0-60, 30+ is what it's all about. Do it! Don't think you'll have much trouble with most cars on the road.

 

[DannyR]

@DannyR You've had a few of these with a charger, how hard is it to fit one?

If you get everything ready it's very easy.

I reckon in hours (3 weekends) it took me about 20 hours start to finish. From car on the road to back in the road. Included removing engine and having Cambelt fitted, fitting everything on, engine back in, wired in new ECU and done.

Remember reading your post about this, which shape m3 was it?

 

[DannyR]

E46 and an E92, was weird that they weren't much different.

The first night I had it out a friend had secretly picked up an E92 M3, this took the shine off of it a little bit when I stuck to his bumper

Ha ha excellent I bet it did lmfao, very impressive! Do you have a supercharged Clio now?

 

[DannyR]

I don't anymore, last one was thee years ago now, time flies!

 

[bill]

Very nice that! Must be due another by now then :wink:

Wedding to be saved for unfortunately, currently have a very low mileage mint Monaco which I would love to charge, would make a great sleeper.

 

[bill]

That would make a cracking sleeper :up:

 

[Chrisgti6]

Sleepers ftw

 

[Mini182]

Supercharging is the way to go in my opinion, more driveable and linear than a turbo, and it pulls all the way to the red line. It's also kinder on the gearbox as the torque doesn't come in one big hit.

Fells just like someone has put in a bigger n/a engine.

[DannyR]

A few things.

Ktec did it.

All that work and selling after only 3k.

I bet it's breathing oil already, far too much power or boost for standard piston rings.

 

[Filters]

For the price of that trophy, you could pick up a smart 172 cup and boost it.
Agree with Danny too, to much power on that lump for minimal internal upgrades. And Ktec...Churchil dog says Ohhhhh no no no no no.

 

[DannyR]

They've done everything bar the stuff that actually matters when running boost on these engines. Good old ktec!

 

[marinemackay2003]

Also reading through that advert, it comes across he does not really know much about it

So IMO has paid up to ktec to fit/map the kit, and as dannyR said is probably breathing oil heavy, probably took back to ktec and quoted 2k+ for a rebuild

So selling it up trying to get rid asap

 

[basket491]

I've seem that trophy up for sale he wants just over £9k for it doesn't he ? Does look mint but wouldn't you prefer to get a standard trophy and do the work/find someone you trust to do the work and know it's all been done properly ?

 

[N4TH4N]

9k get a better car that's supposed to be boosted/charged. No issues. !

 

[Fletcher]

This.

 

[DannyR]

9k get a better car that's supposed to be boosted/charged. No issues. !

Or buy a 172 for £1k, get it refreshed all around for £1k supercharge yourself for £3k!

 

[DCELEC 182]

What is actually needed to supercharge the clio's, without stating the obvious lol?!
Is there a kit available, engine mods needed etc (at what boost level)?
I'd love some more power in my track 182 at some point but not sure a boosty turbo conversion is the way to go, supercharging one I like the idea of!!

 

[marinemackay2003]

I have the mounts all made and am selling them as a kit

So bar that for low boost, Megan injectors and spark plugs, intercooler set up, decent filter set up, a megane keywayd crank pulley and a good mapper that's all I can think of at the moment

 

[bozothenutter]

and the actual 'charger obviously...:tongueout:
