CLIO TURBO

[Arturo]

Hello guys!!!

Recently the blue turbo 172 was exposed with the new boost configuration at the International Auto Show here in Mexico City. The car is now able to run at 8,9,10 or 12 psi on the turbo... giving hps from 250 at 8psi to 280 at 12 psi. There are some pictures of my car on the Clio Club Mexico Photo Gallery. Please go to http://www.clioclub.com.mxwww.clioclub.com.mx and look at the bottom of the website. There is banner there to the Clio Gallery. If you want to enlarge these pictures you have to register at http://www.auto-mania.com.mxwww.auto-mania.com.mx since we are borrowing some server space for our picture gallery from them.

Yesterday I was driving at like 20 miles per hour when this Leon CupraR came flashing at about 70 mph...I had never raced my car against one of these cars so I pushed the throttle. In about 10 seconds I was on his side, ten more seconds and I was about 10 cars behind him!!! This Clio is fast!!!

Saludos and Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Arturo

Arturo , meaby you can help me with some info.

Since i am going to do a Turbo project on my 172 (As soon as i get my parts shipped from mailto:m@thew">m@thew...) i was wondering a few things.

You saied you put some forged pistons. Wich kind ? JE ?

What is the Compration Ratio ?

What size is the Tubo ?

Have you used larger injectors ?

What did you use as an engine managment ?

Allso, any pics of the Intercoler piping ? Any pics of the engine bay ??



Thanks.

 

[Arturo]

Hi there, I know the turbo is a T3, extra injectors were added and the pistons and engine management program were specially designed for this project. Im sorry, since I dont have a digital camera and no pics have been taken from the engine compartment.

Saludos,

Ok, January has been and gone.... still no sign of the turbo kit from K-Tec Racing.

Anyone wish to comment on the current status of the project?

250bhp from a FWD car that only weights 1100kg (AHEM.................wheel spin)



Still bring on the fecking Punto GTs

 

[Williamsclio]

[CUPPY]

[Fred@BTM]

[CUPPY]

[Neil82]

btt for wot?

 

[N8_172]

Any more news on the turbo its nearly april now..

 

[Nick Read]

As someone mentioned above, 250hp in a car weighing 1100 kg is awesome. But the same power in a car weighing 950kg is even better LOL (ie. a valver with a few basic weight saving measures - ditching spare wheel and back seats and running on lightweight rims like OZ Super Ls or Chrono Evos)

What do you want to know its ~£6k for 250hp well built and should be reliable but if you cannot afford ~£6k dont even bother
