not that ive heard, maybe aborad, a few poeple are playing with turbos
if you want big power for your car, drop a new megane 2.0 Turbo 255 engine in!
Dropping a new engine may be cheaper as if you get one from a crashed car your talking about £1k max then another £1k to drop it into the car. Chip it for £500 and you must be talking close the 260hp for £2.5k plus you can sell the 172 engine on if you want.
Depend how much power you want for £2k you can get a 172 to 200hp (and no not by going to LAD)
Its about £6k for a totally fitted 250hp 172 engine at a guess. The kits alone is £3k and then work on top is about another 3k so dropping a new engine is probably cheaper.
Never heard of a supercharger 172 if you want no lag why not tune a 172 engine to that sort of level BenR is the person to talk to but says 320hp is possible without forced induction and would be cheaper than a 6k turbo I think.
/\ well maybe because its a 1.6
Super chargers only run about 7-9 psi of boost, they spin up instantly from the belt but then only spin as fast as they are driven.
Turbos however spin up later but boost isnt an issue - you got a good enough turbo and you can run boost as high as you can get it. Seen RS tuross running 30+ psi. More boost = more power!
Turbo also sound sweet cause you get to put dump valves on!
It will fit if youve got the cash......looked threw a old copy of Revs and theres a lad whod dropped a cossie engine into a mk2 Golf GTI...thats certainly not meant to fit also seen a few valvers, RSTs , 205 GTIs and even a little Fiat with the cossie lump shoved in !!.....so anytings possible
The company who sell Saxo superchargers claim on there website (or they used to) that any car can be supercharged. But space is the problem the piping is easier than a turbo isnt it take the power of fromn the aircon belt (or disconnect the aircon and use that mounting point). Then if ita low pressure kit you shouldnt need an intercoller but if so run it though a intercooler and to the throttle body all you need then are bigger injectors and a remap.
Sounds simple but it wont be.
Running 1/2 bar (7 psi) should get about 210hp with an intercooler and 1 bar pressure 260hp you need head work though to take advantage of the extra pressure.
EDD
It wouldnt be the first though - see my previous message.
As I said before - Id def do that if I had a nice lotto win, reckon Id have to get Charisma to do the interior as well.
Be phat Clio then, be nice to whoop a Skyline or Supra in a Clio!!
Hmm - think Im gonna start buying lotto tickets!!
