Clio 172 power limits?

hi as above.
what are the limits on these engines?

all depends what you mean, n/a limit is around 240bhp - that will cost you a good 6-7k. You can get 250+bhp but will be super £££££££


You can go turbo/supercharged, on standard internals somewhere around 230bhp is safe, you can go higher if your carefull, we have a few members running near 280bhp - if you go a low comp/forged bottom end then north of 400bhp is quite possible.

Best have deep pockets though!

one chap is running nearly 700bhp on his F4R, but that cost a few quid!
