George's TURBO 182

[George182]

Thanks for clearing that up Chris..

Yes mate 8.5:1

 

[George182]

Some new additions:

I have also managed to get hold of some oz f1s with some new fangled Nankang-NS-2R tyres - so I'll be giving those a whirl soon too!

nice work chap

 

[Ade182]

Looking great buddy! Mine goes to Andy tomorrow really excited to get it back!

Thanks for answering my questions too pal. Keep the updates coming!

new boost pipes next G

 

[batesey]

Whats wrong with the ED ones?

 

[EvoFq3o0]

Hows it running now George? any more vids to tease us with? still waiting for mine been a month tomorrow, I miss it!

 

[George182]

Whats wrong with the ED ones?

Nothing at all mate. Very good bits of kit.

Although, we are fairly sure the diameter of the boost pipes and the intercooler are holding me back in the quest for more power!

 

[batesey]

They 57mm? I'm unsure, I've seen gt28s on similar pipes run upto 350

 

[George182]

Honestly I don't know off hand mate.

Whilst at Scoffs when the map was being adjusted, we reached a point where adding more boost had little effect on the power output - something must be restricting it!

When I initially got my car back from Andy, I wanted to spend a fair amount of time getting used to the extra performance and enjoying the car before I decided to progress any further. With 290bhp and 270lbft it has more than enough get up and go for what I want!


However, other aspects of the car are not exactly where I want it to be at the minute and the next couple of months are going to see some reasonably large changes.

• O2m gearbox and diff - six speeds will be nice on the road and a diff is essential now
• Oil cooler and thermostatic sandwich plate
• Install oil temp and oil pressure gauge/s
• Full cup suspension refresh, keeping the Eibach sport lines
• Uprated pads for the 197 Brembos, fitment of the rear braided lines and DOT5 fluid
• Front bumper replacement and aero catch fitment
• Alcantara roof lining, A-pillars and ‘Piano black’ grab handles, door handles and possibly dash trims
• Trial fit some 2118’s and then decide which wheels to keep! (open to suggestions here)

Then the plan is to enjoy it! Its already a brilliant little car, but hopefully these few changes will make it an even better road car.

290bhp, bet that's slow lol

Front bumper replacement and aero catch fitment

Why do you want to do this out of interest?

I had the same plans for mine, but concluded that it was more hassle than needed.

My bumper is a simple 3 bolts now. 2 from the underneath (which even if aero catching you'd probably need to keep anyway) and one up by the grill.

 

[George182]

Why do you want to do this out of interest?

Sorry mate, it wasn't very clear.

I came to the same conclusion as you about front bumper!

The aero catches are for the bonnet and I am replacing the front bumper as mine is damaged. I just bundled them together in the same sentence.

Alpine FTW

 

[Ash']

Good update i need to change the speakers in mine. I completely forgot how s**t the standards speakers are in the clio's after the 330ci and 9n3 GTI.

 

[incy-spider]

I found the standard speakers not so bad if running them on HPF I had an old vibe sub lying about and it sounds great handling all the bass!

 

[George182]

Current alpine looks completely out of place:

Easy job done first:

Much MUCH better already.

 

[incy-spider]

What steering wheel is that?

 

[George182]

A grubby Sabelt.

 

[George182]

Dash off:

Tweeters replaced:

New head unit and dash back together:

 

[batesey]

Looking good George, you going FCS mate?

 

[w33 brl]

Should have removed passenger airbag lol how much if a pain is it to remove that top dash eh?

 

[batesey]

Its a doddle mate, just take your time and make sure you undo all the bolts, best bet is to search on here as theres a couple hidden ones

 

[Joe#]

Nice update George. I really need to buy a new head unit. Do the new tweeters make a noticeable difference?

 

[George182]

Top dash off is easy! Took 5 mins..

Really impressed with both the speakers and the tweeters! I would recommend them to anyone!

 

[w33 brl]

Lucky you then mines was been a baw tbh

 

[George182]

Your BG is cracking George

 

[George182]

Looking good George, you going FCS mate?

Thanks mate. I don't think I will be making it this year unfortunately.

Your BG is cracking George

High praise indeed! Thanks mark.

How much them speakers cost you george? Some nice bits going in

I recently fitted a bluetooth stereo, just wanted to get in car and have my music play without messing with plugging in. I had a vibe amped box laying around so that went in too. I also had some infinitys spare that fitted nicely but I do like your renault fit speakers
I was going to go for the stalk control but, cramming more plugs behind the headunit is such a ball ache!

Cars looking and sounding well pal

Thanks mate, the speakers are from here:

Bluetooth certainly makes things simpler - especially with hands free calling through the stereo.

Yes - it's coming along nicely

I don't understand why you would want to drown out all those lovely turbo noises George!
