DannyR's 3rd Supercharged Clio trying to be Epic Build Thread
Probably best dropping Fred a PM to be certain dude
As far as I am aware the valves and springs are exactly the same, but check the renault part numbers to be sure.
The 197 inlet will work a lot better with the 197 head too than with the 172 head, so if you do want the 197 inlet on there then its definately a good idea to use the 197 head and then the standard 172 pistons.
197 inlet is particuarly worthwhile on a boosted motor just cause it makes it so much easier to get at the plugs, as well as the obvious flow benefits.

Lol that was all you said in the last one. c**t. 
Went and got my engine stand today and decided to use the block already on there. Got it cleaned up an degreased ready for a bit of paint.
Then went for some black VHT and everything else will be powder coated silver
It's a pity the back of the engine looks the best!
Now just need to get some pistons, rods and bearings sorted out

ha ha - yes, I have been lurking on and off for a long time now. Its a bit of a long story but I registered on here a while back with the view to getting a clio as a dedicated track car - then went and bought a Misubishi Evo for this use instead. I'm now back on here as I'm now looking for something a little cheaper to run on track - putting a clio back on the short list!
Tbh meets aren't really my thing but, if I go ahead and buy a clio I may see you at a trackday one day!
Your project looks really interesting - its great to see guys like you showing whats being done. It helps noobs like me to get a good idea on whats possible.

Hi Danny

I'm usually at Snetterton if there is a weekend Trackday!
Sure there's a joke in there somewhere....
Not yet, does you head show the same? If so then I guess it's meant to be!

Post man has been busy the last couple of days.
Only a few serviceable items.
2x new ball joints
2x track rod ends I had from last build
1x Ph1 airbox and ITG filter to replace my ITG Maxogen (anyone want it?)
And also a CS delivery
Forgot to ring to get my rods and pistons and other bits today. Hoping to have my Gunk tomorrow to clean up my bits that need powder coating. Should also get crank etc. off other engine!

Looks good Danny,where are you getting the charger and associated parts from,still want to charge mine just don't want to lump out 4k in one go.Was thinks of getting the charger from tts what FMI are you using.

I'm using a small intercooler, best bet is one from eBay. Try another company for SC, in Scotland, forget their name now. It's only TTS and this company that can sell them in the UK direct from Rotrex.
My parts came back all powder coated today. Sent them off Tuesday so quick turn around, luckily there were a load of bits need doing silver at my dads work
Still a few other bits to be done as and when needed!
Need to try and start getting some bits together for this engine really and get it build. My plan is to charge the engine in now for a little bit until it goes bang!

Shiny! It expensive to get them done? I have a spare cup alternator if you can fix it lol
182, SQ7, Trafic
I broke it, I know there isn't anyway of fixing that lol!
I can get the bits all done for you at £15 a part dependant on size! That includes cleaning and prepping too.
If there are more than a couple of bits then a bulk order can be done at a smaller price!
Everything is going slowly with the car at the moment due to saving for the big expensive parts!

Lol, if you can't fix it no one can! Its in my pile of car bits to be binned anyway.
I'll bear that in mind for next time my cars in bits
