Re: mintys 172 turbo

This is what mine looks like, I think yours is to small and won't look right with a 182 trim.

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Vids tbh...

Love that exhaust scotty2hotty, so much so ive booked in to have one at Ktec while im having the map done

Re: mintys 172 turbo

I like it to, how it should be from the factory, it's gdi/piper with a modified tailpipe.

Id imagine you are going for the ktec recessed? Don't bother with the centre silencer.

Yeah Ktec recessed. Ive currently got a stealth system. I'd have probably kept it, but Ktec had problems last time getting the wideband up the tail pipe because its angle which will cause problems when mapping for turbo aswell. Unfortunately i have the silenced centre section and cant afford to get the super sport centre section, im just swapping the backbox

Re: mintys 172 turbo

this is so weird i was about to ring jack cav to get your number to see how the turbo was coming and i stumbled across thi lol!!, i need to come see this!!!, how does it pull? we will have to have a side by side!, im swapping mine for a rb cup with recaros

 

[Slammed172]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

That exhaust is meant to hang under !

Looks much better without the stickers, although you've still got another gay one on there..iJoke.

Re: mintys 172 turbo

I WANT MORE 2118s!!

 

[Jekyll]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Cheaper tyres, better wheels and suit the berg more imo.

Plus all the cool cars run on 2118's

 

[Ash87]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

tidy conversion that, deffo try get some 2118s on there

 

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

I think I'm going to just my turinis have 2 tyres on the limit so won't be worth that much

 

[Coops Mk1]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

i'm not a massive 2118 fan, but they look good on the berg

defo get the zorst either recessed or stealthed, looks terrible hung out the back like that

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Few pics from a saturday clean

 

[domsclio182]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Looks nice, love the colour, but the exhaust needs to sit higher looks a bit funny hanging below the cut out.

 

[Toms_clio]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Mint clean mine please

 

[Jekyll]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

See you and tom yesterday mint, car looked good rolling exhaust looked good but I agree with Dom that it needs raising.

 

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Yeah a bracket needs bending. But also the exhaust is very close to hitting the boot floor as its an ovel, but if need be i will cut the tip off and put a kink in it to raise it up into the recess

 

[davo172]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

[Chip-mk1]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

If you want big power then you need to decompress the engine, it ends up too ignition limited otherwise.

I cant see the point in doing a turbo conversion just for 230bhp, for a couple hundred quid more you can have an extra 30bhp if you can be bothered with the extra day or so of labour to decompress it.

Ok as a stepping stone though I guess.

 

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Think the horsepower limit is for safely of the standard pistons and clutch

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

lol at the mint sticker. Very tidy conversion, love it

 

[Westytce]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Engine dynamics used to be BB tuning iirc, ive spoken to them regards forge pistons and setting mine up better, they sound like good guys and clearly know there unions with renaults. who worked on your car?

How long did it take them to finish your car, and how were they with you when you had the turbo issue? Would you use them again?

 

[gez 172]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

You need to tuck that exhaust up.

Mine was a prospeed too

Same design

 

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Yeah andy and his father worked on my car. Had it for a week in total which i thought was very good for and engimg out. Engine rebuild and turbo c0nversion. He had it 1 full day when it had tp go back. Would definatly use them again email and phone communication is brilliant.

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Just over £3000 in total. Well worth it though absolutly love it. It's 230hp, more than enough really.

 

[Clio172T]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Couple of photos now the exhaust is sorted

Also picked this lovely standard saxo up for a tidy £500 tax and tested

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Exhaust looks better mate.

Saxo looks like a bit of a bargain

Re: mintys 172 turbo

Great to see this cup living on in a different guise. Was a favourite when ollie had it but you've certainly made it your own now.

Yeah it was a good platform for a turbo project. All previous mods were of a high spec and car had a good name on the forum. Love it!
