Conversion!!

[plunky]

hi guys, been thinking hard about doing the volvo 1.7 turbo conversion into my mk1 clio.
was wondering if someone could tell me everything i will need to do this i.e. what gearbox, wiring loom etc. and also prices if possible?
also if anyone knows what the going rate is from a garage to do this that would be useful!
cheers
Liam

It's not worth the time or money, the 1.7 lump is limited and as it has never been developed properly as the 1.4 lump is more popular.

I quote:

about 120 standard and a easy 140-150, more with a few new wee things, up to about 160-170 is possiblt then with a new turbo and a few more goodies up to about 220ish is the current limit I believe


Not exactly a lot of power for the work?

no not the limited part lol meant the worth the time and money part,

If you are considering it I would definately speak to dave about his as you could probably get everything you need from his seeing as he's breaking it.
