Mso supercharged Clio mk2

I can't remember if you have gone forged engine or not and not reading through the thread again.

If you are, have a good read up on running new engines in as you only get 1 shot at it.

It's going to have a rev limit put on it !

theres more to it than that... you need to think about what running in proccess your going to use. some say to do lots of WOT blips to bed the rings in others say to be as gentle as possible. its not just a case of slapping a limiter on it unfortunatley

 

[Matt350.]

I'm well excited to this on the road again, saw it a couple of weeks ago when I picked mine up, can't wait to see what she does

[Jaff.]

What ever the rev limit is set at!!

 

[mso]

Just getting a new fuel pump from an evo fitted tomorrow then on the rollers for mapping, doing the maths should be
330bhp but it will limited to around 5000 revs for the first 1000 miles then back in for full power. Will be picking her up next week pics and video soon!!!

[Nickson]

Wowowow!
First time I've looked through the blog mate, my god!

Frickin awesome car! Looks absolutely awesome.

Bet it's going to be a bit of a handful!

 

[marc1330]

It's got a gripper diff fitted and the power is so smooth it will drive fine, I was very surprised how well there turbo one went and that's more aggressive the way the power comes in.

 

[Dean.]

that looks a very impressive install from k-tec.

Had car on RR today done a quick power run only up to 5500rpm made 310bhp 265 of torque running about .8 bar of boost once it's ran in boost will be 1 to 1.1 bar of boost so sholud easily make over 330 bhp. Picking her up tomorrow morning to start the running in process then back in 2 wks time for mapping and full boost!!!

 

[SamP]

Guess you're not going to be doing many miles in it then? Thats what put me off running a gripper instead of a quaife.

Don't know what you mean mate

 

[Jonny1*2]

Is 5.5k not a bit high for running in the new bottom end? Surely 4k should be max really.

That was just a quick power run on the RR when I get it tomorrow it will be set at 4500 rpm

 

[Jonny1*2]

Ah ok. It's hard to not go past it trust me. Monday is mapping day for mine, and I can't wait to pass the 4k mark

 

[SamP]

Few friends in the rallying/drag scene recommended I didnt get one as they ideally need to be serviced every 5000 miles. E.g. I could JUST do a decent tour of europe inside one service interval?

Gripper assured me that they are no different to a quaife when I service the car I'll just change the oil as well job done!

 

[bomber]

As said previously though mate, grippers use a setup which requires a rebuild after sometime as it uses a clutch plate type system. 310@5500 sounds healthy, should be good when ready

5000miles that's a lot of track days!

[Gray]

It will be good to see the final power figure, bet you cannot wait!

 

[domsclio182]

Nice figures mate,will be a animal on the road once run in,awesome stuff.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Great stuff!! Have you got any pictures of the engine now it's finished?

 

[JamesT87]

looks like a tidy install that well done!

 

[mr.pink87]

This thread needs videos!

 

[Šįk]

It's got a gripper diff fitted

Got her home today,a bit annoying as it's only running upto 4500rpm to bed the motor in, it's still quicker than a standard one thou so should be bloody mental when it's mapped for full boost. You can really hear the supercharger now so with full boost it will sound amazing, tested out the gripper best I could and it just transforms the way the car goes round corners. Car goes back in 2wks time for remap and for Redline mag to do a feature on it then I'll get a speedo vid done and pics!

Oohh mag feature sound

Been thinking about fitting an uprated diff in mine, are they worth it? Or only useful on big power cars?

[mso]

I'm really interested to see how this does, how is it with delivery? Does it pop or bang on lift off?

Is there a loud whine from th sc or is quite discreet? Sorry for all the questions
