Clio turbo offer

[notfastnotfurious]

just booked my ph1 iceberg shed in for the low boost kit in august, 2400 instead of 3000, getting a new clutch thrown in for an extra 195, very excited. Hopefully a two week turn around like promised.

Anybody else using the offer?

Who from mate

 

[Stay Puft]

Deal and the two weeks sounds like ClioTurbo's Facebook offer. Sceptical about the 2 week turnaround!

ClioTurbo mate!

OP; don't hold your breath on waiting times. I'm happy for you and that but delays ALWAYS happen, especially there from track record.

Depends when the two weeks start

 

[Mr Plums]

£2595 is f**king cheap for boost and a clutch all fitted and mapped bloody hell, the Garrett and ecu(if included) come to well over a grand, then you have mapping and the cooler and pipework and all fluids replaced and labor and the magane head gasket, cast manifold, larger injectors, downpipe and link pipe etc as well as all the other bits and bobs.

 

[masekwm]

No mapping needed, EFI do a boost module now

 

[Gus]

Does this actually include the ECU, there was talk a while back of EFI working out a way of using the standard ECU.
Good luck. I wouldnt be going there.

It doesnt include the adaptronic, it uses an EFI module (essentially a piggyback unit), i think its better to use the module over a full stand alone on a low boost since not many people who go for the low boost will progress to the high boost set up, £2400 is a bargain for the work involved!

 

[yeecup]

Good luck with it. Do your homework first.

Clioturbo have done some great work. Yes some bad but alot of very good

 

[Mr Plums]

Yours is good, mine is bad

Prime example.

Lol its looking after you now aint it.

I think for the savings over other companys its a no brainer just go over the work that you can see before you drive away is my advice.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Im well aware of opticals trouble with them, ill still be using my cup while this is with them so no drama if they have it for longer. Price was too good to miss,

The fact that you have to do this after spending that much cash is an indication that something is wrong.

The problem with Clioturbo was he took on to much and couldn't rely on the people he employed, now he's back to being a one man band and is only giving time scales he believe's he can manage and now he's on his own and doesnt have to rely on other people i think no one will be having any time scale issues (unless it is waiting on parts)

 

[Clio_fool]

If it's booked in months in advance there should be no waiting for parts. Fingers crossed Andy has sorted his business out and all goes well.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Im hoping thats the case now, ive met him before, really friendly guy but his memory is......somewhat short but im willing to give him a go, if im happy then i know whos to fit a vw gearbox to my cup once thats ready

 

[notfastnotfurious]

When i was arranging over email he was great and replied very fast every time, also said there were 2 available dates for august and that i could still have the july deal, they were two weeks apart so seems to have his diary under control.

 

[midge]

I agree but sometimes when someone is having work done they might request something like a better a clutch or bigger turbo e.t.c which may incur a delay of a week, which could turn in to a supplier issue and then before you know it its 3 weeks e.t.c

@notfastnotfurious i think you'll be fine mate, the fact that he has delayed booking the car in is a good sign, it means he's not getting it in until he can do it!

 

[notfastnotfurious]

I actualy requested a later date as ive just sold my house and was going to dip into the equity which i wont have for about 5 weeks from now so he offered that date for me.

I will be mentioning to him (politely) of the troubles ive read about some cars on here and that i dont want to be in the same boat.

Realisticaly i can only spot a loose nut and bolt, nothing else so if anyone in the north wesr wants to check it over the same week im back with it id be very grateful

 

[Mr Plums]

This was only in jest, Andy has helped me out quite a bit recently, hes actually a really good lad when you speak to him, I cant help but like the c**t even tho my car was made on scrapheap challenge!

 

[car.crash]

See you on the other side then

 

[Duck Hunt]

It's a great offer tbf ,I have done homework and research and I have booked and having mine done with engine dynamics can't wait
To get it done ,good luck with yours

 

[masekwm]

@Duck Hunt Did ED price match?

 

[Duck Hunt]

No ,but I got it on the offer they had up last month

 

[cs_dave]

I think anyone that reads cs knows your car is pukka!

 

[scooby-93]

Bargain that from Clio turbo, I like how all these people jumping on the ' Clio turbo hatred ' band wagon!
Unless you've dealt with Andy then you have no right to critisize him or his work!

There's a good old saying - if you've got nothing good to say, say nothing!

Andy built my Clio turbo 340bhp vag box etc 4000 miles and 6 track days later and no major issues! All the work had been carried out to a high standard.
I've since sold the car on and providing it's maintained properly it will be just as tealiable and as much fun to the new owner as it was to me!

Andy did have bad time keeping issues but that has been rectified now!

Anyone who books in with Clio turbo you WONT be disappointed

 

[notfastnotfurious]

How much was the vag box conversion? Im gona want that in my cup after after ive finished doing the other bits to it

 

[scooby-93]

Was all within the price when i had conversion done but I think around £4K everything included and fitted that was with the diff.

If your going low blow - looks like you are then the standard box is fine, the vag box is horrible in comparison

Andy will keep you right

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Ah right. Ive got to cars dude, my phase 1 is having the low boost as a daily and my cup hopefully going high boost supercharger with vag box, gona be a slow one that so just tryna get prices together and do it in the right order.

 

[scooby-93]

What power with the super charger?
Unless you've driven a 02m'd box Clio it'd stay away from it unless you REALLY need it

 

[Mr Plums]

I have heard bad things about the o2m conversion, lots of noise and clunks etc, I think if you drop on a good jc5 and change the oil regularly without too much abuse it should be fine.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Well when @marinemackay2003 is back around septemeber time he said he will fit the charger with his bracket kit and ill get it set for 250bhp, then i need a box fitting to handle 330 for when the engine gets forged, dont wona do the engine first cos the box will probs blow right? I like avoid breakdowns, whats an o2m or a jc5?

O2m is vag box jc5 is a Clio 1*2 box.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Ok, i spoke to a 330bhp turbo user and he said hes in his 3rd clio box, is there ways to strengthen the internals instead of just using a diff to reduce wheel spin?

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Like maybe the megane 225 box?

 

[Mr Plums]

3 Clio boxes would cost you £600 ish, still £3400 cheaper than one vag conversion.

 

[notfastnotfurious]

Eh? So that 4k was just the box fitting and diff? I thought he meant with the engine too?

 

[notfastnotfurious]

@NorthloopCup builds boxes doesnt he? Are there ways of strengthening the inside to take more power for reliability
