incy-spiders Clio 182 turbo

[deanoE30M3]

Update, been a while!! I like to post changes on here just as much for anyone interested and for myself really, like service history this thread!

Last weekend I had a map check by Andy, as I was getting some 22psi boost spikes, should be 16-17ish.. anyway was worth the trip and my concerns were justified, I’ve not been driving hard for this reason or any track work!

turns out my 8psi spring in the actuator had weakened off resulting in some boost control issues, I need to run a 12psi really but we have re worked the boost control accordingly and it’s a solid 16-17psi again.. fuelling perfectly all along so no drama. Feels awesome again, very strong and not hitting boost limit within the ECU which basically closes the throttle when reached for safety! Slightly back the power off until I get a new spring.. sits at 340hp currently and 360lbft!

The 200 bottom end with Meg 265 pistons and rods with Clio 182 head is a great setup, no more over complicated Aux belt setup, easier timing belt replacement in the future, the 6 speed NDO is awesome.. really notice better fuel economy cruising in 6th at 2.5-3k rather than 4.5k.. love it!! Hoping to get some track time in before the year is out. One of the vids shows loading and lots of fuelling setting up boost.. carbon burning off inside the exhaust 😬😬

looks like a good setup, how easy was it getting the 6 spd box in?

Not too painful

Nur/spa in June, been too long

Oh and just for a laugh, turned it into a total c**t machine.. don’t worry it didn’t stay like it!

Will see how this pans out soon, should look spot on with a 197 rear diffuser.. I’m not generally into mods but this should be subtle and with the slash cut tips hidden away should look good!

*for sale* 12k…

Not your average Clio turbo. I have owned this car for a very long time and will be sad to see it go but I fancy a new project.

If it sells it sells, if not I’ll keep it but have been thinking about it for a while.

I’ve seen some utterly horrendous builds lately and they are selling with engine lights on, exhaust manifolds falling off, shocking workmanship etc.. so if you want a perfect one with everything done to a high standard. Look no further!

Mileage is 88k I’m the second owner since 16k miles

Happy new year I hope at least up to next year the car is still yours. If you will ever scrap it, let me know

Bargain for 12k to be fair.

Just seen you have a radium fuel pulse damper. Did you have issues with fuel pulsation at high rpm? I bought one of these for my trophy for the pulsation issue it has but Chris@Efi didnt recon much to them so never fitted it.

 

[incy-spider]

Thanks mate! I fitted it purely to stop the fuel pipes pulsing on the return line, just for noise.. worked a treat!

 

[Brigsy]

I might stick this one on and take it out for a datalog to see if any difference. My 980cc injectors are super noisy too so would be nice if it cured that. Chris said i probably wouldnt have any issues if it had some rubber pipe in the setup as all ptfe lined.

Yeah, mine is all the gates barricade PTFE lined hose, but would get a definite pulse sound before the damper.. I work in a Renault dealership and noticed a lot of new OEM stuff have dampers on these days!

Sad day today… said goodbye to me old mate 🫣

But it sounds like it’ll be in safe hands in Canada with @E11OOT

moving on with a Megane RS 265 I bought from my mate Tim, I’ve maintained it for him over the years and know how meticulous he is about it,

It is an absolute gem

Brief spec.. 61k miles, 317hp tuned by efi, AST 5100 with top mounts with the strut top holes enlarged for adjustment access, fitted and geometry setup by Cooksport.

Pure Motorsport Rear Toe Shims
Ferodo DS1.11 Pads all round
Advan RSII Flow Formed Wheels

4X 18” 8.5J Advan RS2 Satin Black with AR1’s
4X 18” 8.5J Advan RS2 Shadow Chrome with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 5
4X 18” 8.25J Renault Tibor with Uniroyal Rainsport

Wagner intercooler
ITG Induction Kit
Flow Performance Splitter and Side Skirts
Maxton Spoiler Extension
KTEC Carbon Fibre Exhaust Surround

Plan is to fit a G25-550 with v-band adapters and fittings being designed by a friend and aiming for more track focused power delivery (power to the limiter)

That’s all for now, still 🥲 about saying bye to the Clio 😂😂

She gets loaded up onto the boat this week.

Should be in Calgary by the end of the month all going well! Thanks for all the help on your end.
