some pics of my Mk.1 Ph.3 16V

[Renault_Boy01]

looks mint..love the new alloy wheel colour

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Looks mint, I would have painted the alloys white though. That 16v is amazing. Love the interior.

I never wanted to clean the wheels anymore, so I used dull black...

The front seats of the valver are from a VW new beetle.

 

[Oliver_K4M]

I installed now a modified 57i-tube with a 172 cup air-box.

The batterie is splitted in two 20Ah AGM-Batteries, that are installed each in the left and right rear side sections.

This is some preliminary work for the 4-2-1 manifold that shall replace the supersprint 4in1....

 

[R20 CWH]

wow at the interior. looks superb

not sure on the headlight eyebrows.

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Sorry, but the interior is not that of my car, it´s of the silver clio with the volvo engine...:dapprove:

 

[R20 CWH]

1.7 turbo lump?

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Yes. It´s this car:

but isn´t faster than mine....

Some more pics:

 

[Duncx]

Very nice mate, looks good with the extra black and I like the red lip on the wheels too.

 

[Chrisjk]

Not seen that before, i like it alot. Good to see the K4M being used, its got potential.

 

[Oliver_K4M]

...its got potential.

I think I run it at about 135hp at the moment.

 

[ijaen]

that engine conversion looks superb! congrats...

you probably know this, is the radiator fan activated by a temp switch like older Renaults or ECU activated?

When the Fan an the engine were installed in the Laguna, the fan was ECU controlled. When I installed both in my Clio, I decided to use the temperature switch, due to the fact that I have no air-conditioning and the air-conditioning signal is an input in the ECU.

I see...I guess it is an ECU signal for both the low and hi speed on my clio then....low speed engages at 96*C and hi speed at 103*C...iirc but I've heard the hi speed go maybe twice in 10,000kms

 

[Tigger]

Very nice - some good mods on that and some marmite too, I like it

 

[Oliver_K4M]

What I wanted to do already a year ago, I did yesterday with help of some frieds.
Kicking ass of the old 4in1 Supersprint exhaust-maniflod ...

and replacing it by a 4in2in1....


Thanks to Peter who did all the welding stuff.

The base was also a Supersprint exhaust-manifold, but one that was initially designed for the valver. It was already modified at the flange to the head to used at a F4R conversion, but as the F4R got a turbo, it was free and I could have it. To install it on a K4M lump it was again necessary to weld a new flange to it, because the cylinder-spacing of the K-block is 4mm smaller than of the F-block. I think looks good. As I already replaced the resonance-box by the 57i-hose, there is enough space for the maniflod tubes, that now com out horizontal...

Due to the fact that the K-block is lower that the F-block, the manifold had to be shortened 35mm in hight.

The pitch compensation is now done by a 60mm flex-tube, thats directly welded to the catalyst.

the header was replaced by a 60mm tube...

I think it´s quite O.K., only the the hole for the up-stream O2-senser is left, but we didn´r have the right driller. Will be done tomorrow.

Now after over 8 jears of rattle I have the guideway of my manifold as it suits for a ClioI...

 

[rctempire]

Cool, cant wait to get mine back on the road now.

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Me too, have to wait until 1st of April....

 

[Soph]

Cheers for the guide - i'll get it translated and will give me something to do over the next weekend or so my cars putting out 70.45bhp with 78lbs of torque with the manifold, de-cat, scorpion exhuast from a Valver and ive run a cold air feed from the front bumper to the airbox. I maybe able to squeeze a little more out of it now

Did you ever get it translated? Can sort of guess bits from the pictures, but would be nice to read it in english!

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Today I began with portmatching...

 

[Savi]

dont see many phase 3 engine conversions! I love the latest look, think the bumper suits it quite alot!

Lovely car mate! representing the mk1's!!

 

[Daz.]

Loving the mk2 front bumper! great to see a different mod.

Loving the lack of rust too - some mods are very questionable though

 

[MonsterMatt]

I Wish My Speedo Went Up To 240 ¬¬

 

[Savi]

Any more updates? and where did you get the hood scoop from?

 

[BREMBO]

love that, more the condition of it

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Any more updates? and where did you get the hood scoop from?

The hood scoop is from a R19 16V phaseII.

since the manifold modification I havn´t done anything to the car.

I was only on a renault meeting in austria last week (http://www.weinbergtour.com/), where I did a small hill climb...

[Oliver_K4M]

Now with LED daylight running lamps.

 

[Jason_E]

Not sure about some of those mods. But the car looks in VGC. Like what your doing mechanically aswell

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Wanted to give him a little the look of the LagunaIII....

 

[rubinhu16v]

Wanted to give him a little the look of the LagunaIII....

Hei man, loved the work, tough i think you got some issues, you could have one of the best looking clios in here, but you're in my opinion starting to get lost in modifications.
I don't like LED daylight running lamps, i don't like the exaust, i don't like the lateral rib and i think you should only have one distic, the 16v one...
Great work tough.

 

[Oliver_K4M]

I finally was now with the new setup on the dyno....101,4kW at 5540rpm and 180Nm at 5040rpm...

 

[rubinhu16v]

Well men, thats a great engine, needs really litlle work just to go up on the rev band, it haves max power at 5540rpm but it continues to have many strenght and bhp till 7000rpm more or less, thats excelent, but i think it could be better, cause max power comes even sooner then with stock engine, i don't get how did they get the curve like that really, it should have the max power at 6200rpm least, i talk by what i see here in pt.
Although, one thing is max power regime, and another is what you have, you have max power soon, but it dosen't looses much power when rises till 7000rpm...

 

[Oliver_K4M]

When I did the first rund I couldn´t believe the max power so early at 5500rpm, so we did a second and third run, but ist kept the same. But when I compared the old 2006 measurement with the last weeks, I could see that it was an improvement on the whole rpm range:

Nevertheless it spins better up than before.
I there wouldn´t be that f###### ding in the torque curve at 3200 rpm I would have more than 170Nm between 2700 and 5700 rpm. And this is allways my focus, good torque and good drivability over the whole rpm range, as my overall gear ratio in the 5th is pretty long, 1000 rpm are 34,7km/h (21.5 mph).

But you are right there is some potential left at high revs, I plan some changes to the plastik part of the intake manifold, and than a fina adjusting of the ECU on the dyno...

 

[Oliver_K4M]

I did now begin with the intake-manifold.

 

[Oliver_K4M]

Made the glue...

 

[Oliver_K4M]

New wheels and tires for 2010...


Steffan Evo in 8x14 with 10mm off-set and additional 5mm spacers at front. Tires are Toyo T1-R in 195/55R14V.

[lazy_arse_pie]

i really like this , those steffan's look the bomb !

 

[VeinAST]

Think it would look better without the stripes, fuelcap and renaultsport badge

 

[AlexG]

The wheels/ arches/ stance looks spot on!

DOnt like the stripes, bonnet and fuel cap though.
