incy-spiders Clio 182 turbo

[Chi]

Tomorrow?

I'm being serious.. Not sure you are

Where did you go

 

[v16daf]

Okay mate, I'll try!

Good man

 

[incy-spider]

I'm being serious.. Not sure you are

Where did you go

Haha, went to watch Wolf of Wall Street, mate seriously I'll have a chat to a couple of engineering mates tmoro and see if they are up for a challenge, good guys to have on board for brackets, machining etc. At the mo I'm putting a seat Leon cupra lump into a mk2 golf, finishing off welding tmoro so have a bit on my place as well as mine but I'm keen!

 

[Chi]

cool let me know..

 

[JamesWilson]

Looking forward to seeing how much power this makes once its on!

 

[incy-spider]

Me too, wish I had an LSD!

 

[Chi]

buy one! won't lose much money.

 

[incy-spider]

If it was £500 I'd buy one today but £1100 is a bit out of my budget especially after buying the turbo kit!

 

[Chi]

Be epic with tbh but can't spend what u haven't got. .

 

[incy-spider]

Especially as I'm taking the box out - anybody have a secondhand one pleeeeeeeease!!

 

[Chi]

You'll still pay around £800 I imagine as they're like rocking horse $hit

 

[incy-spider]

Managed to get 30mins at lunch to start pulling the engine out, got shafts out, radiator/ac condenser out, strut brace, ecu, heater matrix pipes, inlet and exhaust unbolted. Will do more tomorrow but progress has been made!

 

[Chi]

Never mind updates keep going

 

[incy-spider]

Ktr induction kit needs to go if anyone wants it? £120

 

[incy-spider]

Had another little play after work tonight, engine out, sump off ready for drilling the oil return tmoro...

 

[incy-spider]

Some more progress, oil return is drilled and tapped, head off, 225 injectors in, waiting for head bolts and helix clutch as soon as I order. Heat shield on too...

 

[Chi]

Awesome work..

 

[incy-spider]

Cheers mate, decided to keep existing sound deadening in behind the heat shield for a bit more refinement people cut it off near the reservoir but I'd prefer to keep it!

 

[Chi]

I think you will appreciate the little things like that when it comes to the overall driving experience..

 

[incy-spider]

Yeah been in a lot of stripped out road/track cars and it becomes a bit of a bore when it's a daily driver!

 

[Chi]

Im sure the extra power will compensate for the few extra kilos.. What power are you aiming for? Im missing mine, even though I hardly drove it, it was nice to think I could if I wanted to..

 

[incy-spider]

Only around 230 -240. Will see what it will happily run at, the thicker head gasket is huge so will bring the comp a bit

 

[Chi]

Should be fun mate, mine was near 300 and a real handful... IMO 230-240 is perfect..

 

[WilkyWay]

You've got the head off and sump off, helix clutch going in.... It's crying out for some 225 pistons! You'd be daft not to put some in at this stage, or go hard and go forged!

Exactly this! Your mad not to do it right first time, you will want more after a few months and regret not doing it.

 

[Chi]

Everybody wants more!!!

 

[Dan@SJM]

I can supply forged pistons and rods at quite a good price

Yup agreed. Wish I went fully forged to begin with. Will be making a trek to andyrg this year as Wilky predicted!

 

[Coops Mk1]

as above, if the engines in bits, for the sake of about 1k more, forge it, its future proof then.

I know for a fact, you WILL want more, even if you just do it then notch it back, to clip 400 or something would be a right giggle. then wind it back in to 280 odd for 'normal' use

 

[Chi]

I think the OP has no problem whipping the engine out so that's doesn't present the financial costs that others would incur.

 

[incy-spider]

Ha don't tempt me guys, I have thought about this enough. A line has to be drawn when doing things like this, it could just go on and on else! an LSD would be the only thing I'd buy if I had this spare £1000 lying around but sadly my money tree died!!

 

[Chi]

I'd buy an R26

 

[incy-spider]

I'd buy an R26

This has also crossed my mind a lot, love my Clio though!

 

[Chi]

I've got an R but still love the clios. Just need a nippy one for track.

 

[incy-spider]

Ha, just been name dropped in my mates civic EK9 turbo vid http://youtu.be/ixX9Hz24rto thought I'd share..

Forged pistons/ rods make a lot more sense if your taking the head off mate. I did the whole dropping the compression using a Megane gasket. Going forged now, wish I hadn't wasted the money/time doing the Megane gasket.

 

[incy-spider]

What was up with the gasket? I wasn't going to even bother pulling the head off to be fair as it's so low mileage but had the gasket as part of the kit, spoke to a few guys about it and they all said I may as well slip it on just for piece of mind and can be pushed a tad harder on the dyno,

Interested

Yeah how much out of interest?
