my Clio Sport - 99BFF

[felixb]

Hello everyone!

This is my 2000 Clio Sport, base hp 172, current hp somewhere around 200. Modifications include: cat cams 421' camshafts, inlet manifold, cold air intake, exhaust and some exterior modifications...
Next step is fitting a tubocharger to this engine.

Welcome to Clio Sport.

Nice, but not too keen on all the stickers.

Have you any rolling road results?

 

[Nickharding]

Nice, loose the stickers and gash back lights and got your self a tidy motor

Welcome mate

Welcome to Clio Sport.

Nice, but not too keen on all the stickers.

Have you any rolling road results?

If you mean quarter mile and 0-60mph times, I haven't measured those... but I will borrow a g-meter from a friend and see how it goes... pretty curious myself, actually... Will post once I have them...
As for cars I went "head to head" with... I finally managed to be equal on the quarter mile with a modified Mitsubishi Colt CZT - somewhere around 220hp... but equal is not enough, hence the need for the supercharger...

I started my kompressor eaton m45 project. I can't atach any pictures(I'm sorry). If you want to see it follow the link: http://forum.4tuning.ro/110-masina-mea-renault/121501-clio-172-a/page-5.html

Please answer me this question: if I mount the supercharger and use the stock ECU(I know that's what Paul from rs tuning did), what map sensor do I need(and where to mount it)? I have a map sensor for aspirat engine.
I would apreciate if you could give some details.

(I have a clio 172 phase1)

Would 421's work properly on a low comp forced induction engine?

 

[felixb]

yes

 

[Jonny1*2]

hi and welcome. with all them mods a decent ECU would probably be useful

 

[felixb]

Thanks Jonny 1*2. Supercharger Eaton M62, new pics...0,5 bar presure,the soft of ECU stock is up next. http://forum.4tuning.ro/110-masina-mea-renault/121501-clio-172-a/page-7.html

hi!
i thought i should give some updates. i gave up the kompressor, i mounted 8.5 pistons WOSSNER ,EAGLE forged rods and i've just set a GARRETT GT 2871R 743347-4 turbine, and a HALTECH stand alone. i have finally reached 305 wheel hp at 1.4 bar pressure.the MEGANE RS injectors dont really fit here, driving at a 12.9-13.2 AFR.i have to buy a 3 bar map sensor and bigger injectors, aiming for 350 wheel hp. so far, there are no problems with the gear box and the engine. (sorry i cant attach some pictures)

[felixb]

How can I make the engine stronger, because it bounces a lot and it brakes the down pipe(it broke three times already) and the stud nuts turbine gallery.(sorry but i'm not very familiar with the english technical terms)

 

[felixb]

???????????????????????

 

[Budgie]

Uprated engine mounts?

 

[Moose4624]

Lol, that sounds lush!

 

[felixb]

Can you please tell me exactly where and what to buy..?

[lbrench]

WOW

 

[Dan D]

That's mega!

 

[Ospi]

How on earth does the drive train cope with that power? How is the torque steer treating you

Very impressive though, must be a beast to drive.

99 Best Friend Forever?

Impressive Romanian job though, well done.

thanks everyone for your replies . It has been a lot of work on the project,a lot of time ,there where a lot of times when I got sick and tired of the project , but finally I managed to finish it .I hope I can get it to a drag race before the winter starts so I can have an ideea of the 0-402m time , a final result for now for my project .
I was running the RS almost an year on N/A ,wich I managed to get preety good results but turbo is the future )
Since now , the car is running fine , no problems , hope it will remain this way .Before the clio 172 , I had another project from a Dacia Logan 1.5 dci wich I manage to rise the power to a max 120-125 hp from the 65cp engine .

Is the boost coming in very late or is it just me being used to a 320D BMW?
