Going to turbo my 172

[clio182nic]

Hi, i took a trip engine dynamics today and got a rough estimate/quote for £5000, this is for a full engine refresh, cam-belt kit dephaser... new clutch and the 230 turbo kit everything fitted, has any one else had theres done there, and what prices they pay, also any one in essex fancy taking me out for a spin in theres with a similar power would like to see what there like before i buy. Cheers.

Andyrg does the 230 turbo conversion all fitted for £2950 iirc, he has a very good rep on here.

As above, and you get a standalone ECU with the ARG ClioTurbo.co.uk kit. As far as I know you still use the standard ECU with the ED kit. For 5k I'd be wanting high boost and close to 300hp TBH.

This is just the turbo conversion or every thing else stated aswell? Engine refresh clutch...?

My current build is costing less than 5k, that's with a fully forged rebuilt engine, paddle clutch, gt30 turbo and side mounted manifold...

I can do a supply kit for circa £2200.

These turbo conversions seem to be getting cheaper and cheaper and ultimately more accessible! No wonder every week I see a new "I've turbo'd my clio" thread

Really good price, That include Ecu with a basemap?

 

[Dan@SJM]

That'll be:
Turbo manifold
Down pipe
Intercooler kit
Oil feed kit
Intake kit
Typhoon 2 ecu and 4 cylinder loom with a basemap
Turbo (waiting on a confirmed price for the turbo, hoping for gt2860 to be within the budget)

 

[Josh172]

Is that a kit price Dan? And would this effect reliability of the car for a low boost set up

 

[Bobby.]

Good price Dan, I could see you shifting a lot of them.

 

[Josh172]

i just thought the same Bobby. tempted to get the credit card out after summer for a winter project.

Good price. What sort of power are we looking at with this kit fitted Dan?

Tbh I'm looking into it, safely I'd say 230-240 on low boost, but I know they are capable of 270-280 on stock internals if you manage the low down boost. I'm looking to run a boost/rpm table in the ecu which'll give you the low down boost that you want, upto 4/5 psi, then gradually increase to 8/9psi at the rev limiter.

Sounds good

Handy that you now do mapping also Dan ) One stop shop for turbo or SC clios

 

[Josh172]

dan@sjm keep me posted on the price how much would a fitted cost be?

 

[Bobby.]

Check his traders section, he's put a new thread up with prices for different options.
