[M1TCH]

damb right! i think you would keep up with me till 40-50?i love the cold air feed! that cant be all you got in there! any internals?

lol nothing else mate, even got a standard exhaust so only that k&n and extra weight from the leather lol.

the cold air feed was temp (still is ) will be changing it soon and a general tidy up of my engine

 

[GazCB]

Holy sheet, anyone see the harrier fly-by vid on that harrymanback site? It is fooking AWESOME! A herc did that with it's ramp down and pulled up as it flew over a land rover with a guy stood on top and the ramp took his head off, I sh1t you not.

Nice clio though (apart from that goawd ugly grill). When can we get some vids of you eating up other cars? What's the 0-62?

 

[M1TCH]

^^ dude if you liked that one....watch this!!

 

[MarkM]

lose the grills. I like the wheels and the look of the car.

I hate to say this as the conversion has no doubt been well done and it is good to see the power limits being pushed but.....

whats the point if you are worried about your gearbox that much. How often do you give full throttle full revs and do you cringe when you do it?

IMO a sweet NA engine that doesnt have monster torque is probably the way to go on this engine/gearbox.

PS I am not sure if the gearbox can be "strengthened" or uprated or wether the design of the gearbox limits the amount of torque it can cope with. I think I will ask the question on the other forum.

 

[Jezz]

Why? WHY OH WHY OH WHY?
I was happy with my standard MKII 172.
Now I want a dump valve!
Cheers lads:dapprove:

It could get more power by using a tubular manifold, its using a shitty log manifold.

Totally agree Mark,whats the point in having all that power if you can't/won't use it?
If i was ever going to spend 8k on this conversion i'd want full use out of it for sure.
I'm personally going down the TB's route with cams and the whole nine yards to get me near 225BHP which will be fully useable. But all the same Steve,sweet car and sounds the nuts.

I am sure it can, skys the limit with a turbo just turn the boost up. Without a box that can cope what the point?

 

[GazCB]

I'd like to point out at this point that £20k can buy you a recent M3 with medium mileage.

 

[M1TCH]

:clap: and the medal goes to Gaz!!! well done

 

[M1TCH]

Nobody knows how long the box wil last, thats the thing. There was no need to push it to the max just for the video and Steve wasn't looking for any attention to his license when making this vid.

£ per BHP, you cant beat the turbo conversion :approve:

 

[Giles]

Great video there M1TCH!!

 

[truffleshuffle]

car looks sweet but shame bout steve he cant drive for s**t i seen him in weston and i ripped up the road in my mates standard vtr and pissed all over him, if ure gonna spend all that money then learn how to drive mate (you dont normally keep it legal) do u steve!!!!!!!!!! nice vid well done mitch and xander done a good job. i agree with the fact that the vid doesent do the car justice but then wat vid will ever do that. if you wanna know if the cars fast dont watchb a vid come and me us clio psyco's down at weston maybe this weekend wat u reckon steve? hey steve u fancy poppin down the A303 to ktec on day just to wipe the smile off there face lol. shame there wasnt any pussy in the vid, however i stilled creameed all ova da place lol c if we can get steves sister in the vid she is hot as u like lush little ass and she knows it. anyway bk 2 the car i have been in the car and even drove it before the turbo and lets face these mean bastardss 172's and 182's are still fast as fuk but now with the turbo the gearbox is the limit and lets face it steve u betta get a couple spares lol no seriously to everyone on this forum this car is a mean machine and everytime ive been in it my adrenalin starts blowin guages its wanna the best lookin clio's and has defo got the engine to do some damage so bring it on and lets race!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edde]

£ per BHP, you cant beat the turbo conversion :approve:

For the money you cna get a Scoobie etc Ok different type of car but much more reliable and cheaper. Plus more HP is cheap.

things of dreams for young ol' me!! slap an exhuast on and thank you very much 50-70bhp!! fook thats the power of my car lol!!

 

[GazCB]

You can get the froggy eyed scooby for £7k+ now, quite affordable really.

 

[grahamk182]

ehhh what is that truffleshuffle all about, someone get him logged, eedjit

 

[Englebert]

Nicely edited video there M1TCHY! Impressed

 

[Hugo-]

lovely car mate! you cant beat this conversion!!

I have the 16v Mk1 with the low boost turbo conversion....217bhp in a stripped out car.

Anybody who thinks these aint fast are very wrong...mine easily out paces my mates 300bhp pulsar GTI-R (from a rolling start of course)

Here's a pic of mine....

 

[Dan_mk1]

So he's spent 7k, to not wanna push it because he has 6 points?! and afraid of the gearbox going pop? 7k well spent! Lmao

 

[MarkM]

Just ot flame the fire a bit more.

Approx power to weight of the above cars.

350bhp scooby (1400kg ish) = 350 / 1.4 = 250bhp/ton

217bhp stripped mk1 (900kg)= 217 / 0.9 = 241bhp/ton

262bhp steves mk2 (1000kg)= 262 / 1 = 262bhp/ton

I think the new M3's are about 215bhp/ton so not really in the same league.

I know reliability grip off the line and all the other things comfort etc. etc. but you cant argue with those figures.

I dont know anything about cost and driveability etc of a 350bhp scooby but it isnt going to be cheap and it will be high boost so less driveable.

All of these are rough figures done off the top of my head so if they are wrong I apologise in advance.

 

[CRAGS]

how much did the conversion costs?

how muc his insurance?

i lvoe it!

Yes how much did it cost and how much does it put your insurance up

 

[RuFF21]

Where about in Somerset you from?

Im near Cheddar

 

[Ali]

No sound here...But i'll have a look later.

 

[Dubai182]

Yes how much did it cost and how much does it put your insurance up

7,600 k for the conversion incl VAT iirc. Also i think Steve said an extra 600 notes for insurance with Adrian Flux.

 

[midge]

i was going to buy that grey valver above...

 

[Tyson-182]

AWESOME!! Love it! Get more vids..Lol

Tyson.

 

[Ed_182]

sweet vid mitch,

 

[Tom_E]

7,600 k for the conversion incl VAT iirc. Also i think Steve said an extra 600 notes for insurance with Adrian Flux.

ouch!!!! :evil:

 

[Martin]

7.6k for 90 bhp gain...hmmm

 

[M1TCH]

^^^

well bb's 172 turbo is running 324bhp iirc with no difference in parts. its all down to mapping and boost. but then thats unuseable power on a front wheel drive so there you go...

 

[M1TCH]

lovely car mate! you cant beat this conversion!!

I have the 16v Mk1 with the low boost turbo conversion....217bhp in a stripped out car.

Anybody who thinks these aint fast are very wrong...mine easily out paces my mates 300bhp pulsar GTI-R (from a rolling start of course)

Here's a pic of mine....

ahhhh Matt, I been looking for you!!!

I see your car down BB a few weeks ago doing a couple of power runs, excellent looking graph I must say. what was your torque figure??

also if you ever wanna sell your number plate, I'd be very interested (same initials)

 

[Hugo-]

alrite mate....do i know you? :S

yea was down bb just having a set up, running bout 190 lb's'ft at 8psi.

doubt ill ever sell the plate, i originally bout it for my old clio which has the R5 turbo engine (blue one on ebay last week)...obviously my initials MH and GTT for the R5 turbo engine...but now on this car!!

i do love this 172 turbo....ppl dont realise how fast n good these conversions are untill they've been in the car, they truly are unreal.

 

[Tucks]

The Videos done really well,impressive stuff.
You was on about the Nxt SW meet,its on the 23rd of Aprill near Exeter

 

[M1TCH]

yeah its hard to show that in a vid. was quality!

nah you dont know me, and I dont know you lol

I asked Andy who's car it was and did put a thread up asking whos car it was but no one knew. Loved the plate when I see it and thought it would be great to have for the future when I can finally get insurance on a turbo car... ironically I bought a plate today anyway lol.

where abouts you from?


Cheers tucks & cliobuyer!
