George's TURBO 182

[George182]

Awesome 182 mate & I'm not a fan of black cars, good choice on the brakes mine are spot on.

Thanks mate! High praise indeed

If mine was half as mint as yours I would be a happy man!

 

[George182]

Yeah great choice on the brakes George

Looks awesome mate

Ha ha thanks spinks - wouldn't have seen them without a nudge from you. Ta

[George182]

Need to find one of those roads closer to me. .

 

[George182]

Yes you do.

 

[Chi]

Do you have to pay?

 

[George182]

I suppose that very well depends on the facility you find yourself at?

 

[r0ss172]

All it will take is a blast with something a little quicker, and im sure you will be craving a tad more power

Christ its going to look epic

quick work too mate, you only asked me about tyre fitment earlier today! lol!

 

[George182]

No centre caps for now and just a quick wash.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Looks tidy mate, glad you've left the lip silver on the willy wheels :approve:

 

[Coops Mk1]

I fukcing love that, why no caps at the mo, get them on there or is the trial shot the one black one so you need to find some paint

 

[Coops Mk1]

although, needs coilovers

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Also the Brembo 4 pots look well behind them George

Ha ha that's exactly right.

Going to paint them all black for now

It's a little too high isn't it - although it was rubbing at the back with two sets of wheels in it...

Thanks mate!

I will need some pads from you in the spring - they came with a nearly new set of 197 pads, but I'll be after something a little more focused

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

No worries mate! I always stock Mintex M1144 and Ferodo Racing DS2500 for these calipers, just PM me when ever you're ready and i'll get you sorted :approve:

 

[Mr Plums]

Love it mate, looks a very quick car!

 

[Jekyll]

Before I commence the full write up on my initial impressions of running a 300bhp Clio......

Here is my thought for the day:

ITS F**KING QUICK

Quote of the thread! Car looks great mate. A lot of clios getting boosted lately

 

[MG cup]

What spacers did you end up with George and any pics of the calliper mods? They look to have loads on meat on them to machine away for clearance but I was too scared to try lol.

 

[George182]

I am using 20mm spacers at the front which give plenty of clearance.

10mm spacers on the rear, but it's rubbing when the car is loaded up, so I need to swap down to 5mm, or 10mm with camber..

This picture shows the rear of the calliper and inside mounting holes from a distance.

I need to have the wheels off again in a few days, so I can get some better ones if you need?

You'll get there, it does look like it would scrub bad front and back though when its lowered a bit.

No that's fine George I misunderstood you the other day as saying you had done some machining on the outside of the caliper to clear the spokes, not the inside that's needed to fit 280mm disks.

Trial and error - I'll get there in the end

Ahhh ok, almost certainly my poor wording.

The outside of the callipers are as Brembo intended..

 

[Coops Mk1]

Yeah, the et37 puts the Wheels too far out on the rear with 10mm flat spacers,I have same issue.

Considering the 10 mm camber shims, but I have some 5mm I may just slap on anyway

 

[George182]

I am just going to whip the spacers off for now until I decide on a suitable solution

197 calipers under 15" wheels???


Tell me more...

 

[George182]

Yes mate

The callipers have to be slightly modified to use the standard 280mm disc combined with some spacers = job done

Been done, post #26 and you could get away with 25mm on the OZ f1's.

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?694771-Clio-big-brake-conversions/page2

FYI all clio's with 197 callipers and 280mm disks need the callipers machined just to fit the disk, its not specific to going under a 15" wheel.

 

[simondavies89]

That's the set up I'm going with on mine but 300mm getting brackets made up just now

what metal are the brackets made from?

 

[simondavies89]

how much needs machined off the calipers and what metal are the brackets made from? my calipers will be delivered soon so im hoping to make a start on them, thanks

 

[w33 brl]

What ever mild steel I'd say would work best easy to machine and strong but speak to jack kemp on Renault uk he does kits he might be able to sort you out

 

[George182]

Well, today was a great day for progress on the turbo.
Andyrg very kindly offered to help me fix an oil leak (a very very bad one) on an engine that I supplied. Andy has bent over backwards to help in anyway he can throughout the whole process and I would whole heatedly recommend him to anyone that's thinking about either a turbo conversion or regular maintenance.

Set off this morning at 6, from Leicester to Newcastle.

Engine out and box out, oil leak fixed, lunch, engine and box back in and running in just over 8 hours! Although I am not sure how much help I was! Ha ha.

Then a nice little drive back!

400 miles travelled, 70 litres of fuel used - 26ish mpg! Not bad for a nigh on 300bhp clio and I wasn't exactly conforming to the speed limits

Definitely needs a wash now though.

 

[JezzaMac]

Although I am not sure how much help I was! Ha ha.

That's how I felt the other day when I was down, I just kinda stood about and watched! LOL
