Supercharged Clio's , What is required etc and rough costs ?

[finch wxm]

To the people who have carried out Supercharger fitments.

did you forge the motor ? If not what sort of figure are the stadard internals happy with ?

Whats required ? and rough costs on a budget ?

any info and guides would be great

Very ballpark, the stock engine is safe at 250 bhp on a centrifugal (Rotrex) charger. You should see 210lb/ft roughly at that point. You can squeeze more, but i'm going on the safe side.

Yeah i'm just looking at whats required and rough costs for the parts.

Obviously some fabrication work is required etc.

Supercharger will be the biggest cost i reckon.

Currently got engine out of the car to do cambelt etc but was just nosing at someones project

You will need

Supercharger (rotex c30 94)
Supercharger brackets
Megane injectors and plugs
Intercooler and pipework
Uprated MAP sensor
Airfilter
Restrictor (low boost)
Remap

There are two main kits one from KTEC which uses a standalone ECU and the kit Craig has from RSTUNING which is mapped on the standard ECU but comes with pro alloy rad and intercooler.

You can buy the KTEC kit and fit it yourself in about 6 hours, as far as I know the RSTUNING kit is fitted by RSTUNING and not available in a kit form. They also use a different bracket for the supercharger.

This would be for a low boost set up which will give you around 250 bhp and 225 ft/lb.

From someone project thread. There are a few boosted clio projects on here atm.

I know DannyR has had his running on standard internals for quite a while with a lot of spirited driving and his is still running strong.

Im currently collecting parts for an Eaton M62 set up. No idea how it will perform or how much power it will be safe at. I guess I'll find out.
