Supercharged Monaco - Pic Heavy

[Ben_Stevo172]

This weekend at TRAX I had chance to take some proper pictures of my car whilst it was nice and clean. All the work has been done at RS Tuning in Leeds and the conversion costs £3500 + vat for anyone interested.

In the coversion you get:
Rotrex C30-94 Charger
Custom alloy Radiator
Custom Intercooler (Bolts to rad)
Mocal Oil Cooler (Bolts to rad)
Brackets to suit charger
Hardpipes (once these are sorted)
Bigger injectors
Filter (ITG if all goes well)
Custom mapping

This is restricted to suit the stock bottom end. It is possible to see 350-400hp with the right build. Mine is currently running 248bhp and 200lbft on stock internals and all maped on stock ecu with fly by wire throttle, and drives superb. Mine has taken a while to do but once Paul has ironed out a few bits and bobs he will carry all parts in stock and hopes to do a drive in - drive out service in a week! With the kit being mapped on the standard ecu this means you can keep all your cars functions but you will have to lose air conditioning for the supercharger.


My cars full spec:
Rotrex C30-94 Charger
Custom alloy Rad
Custom Intercooler
Mocal Oil Cooler
Bigger injectors
Uprated Spark plugs
Uprated Kevlar Clutch
Janspeed Decat
Straight through exhaust (silencers removed)
Magnex 6x4 backbox
Battery relocated to boot
Apex springs -40mm
16" O.Z F1's
Drilled and Grooved discs
Ferodo DS2500 pads
Cup spoiler
Carbon Splitter
Carbon dash strips

I will get some power graphs up soon and some videos after the yorkshire meet this Sunday.

Any comments welcome

Were you not dissappointed with the 0-60 time? Although it was pretty quick still

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Yeah I was, but the marshalls wouldnt let me warm the tyres up (although other people were doing it) and it didnt help that my tyres are f**ked! I just couldnt get the power down so I reckon I lost about a second or so there! For anyone who doesnt know, I got 5.9, I think it could achieve early 5's with the right tyres.

Blue bottle? Do u mean the small oil tank with the blue lid? oil feed for the charger!

 

[bmh.01]

Yeh that its, thought the rotrex's were sealed jobbies that whats threw me.

Does it sound good? Vids required

yes

 

[mikey_172]

how much bhp does stock internals take?

 

[Justin]

Awesome!

 

[D4N13L]

I saw this on the stand at trax and thought how nice it looked, then i saw the graphs in the front window and thought oh s**t thats the supercharged one.

epic.

 

[jayxx83]

5.9 is absolutely awesome if you ask me... get some sticky rubber and you will be into the low 5's easy imo. In gear must be amazing!

 

[Puressence]

looks mint ben love the wheels:approve:

 

[matty172cup]

that sounded awesome when u gave it beans on 0-60

 

[jimbo666]

i love that mate. subtle styling with some seriously neat work under the bonnet.

 

[Ste666]

Brilliant mate, looks awesome, can't wait to see it on sunday

 

[beatjunkie]

Thats awesome dude! plus you did it with the right colour i like the way its pretty stealthy!!!

All that money spent on the engine and still on apex springs?

 

[Rob]

This car is amazing, love the sound of a "kit"

Get some vids up, would defo like to see it in action.

Note to self: Save... Buy Clio sport... save... Buy SC kit...

 

[Timmay]

f**king awesome car!

 

[Brett]

Awsome car. Forget about the 0-60 time, thats not important, this thing must be awsome to drive. Would love a SC conversion on mine, the power delivery would suite the 172 perfectly.

10/10 mate!

 

[Slammed172]

All that money spent on the engine and still on apex springs?

was going to say the exact same.

nice bit of kit though

 

[DanS]

Awesone car, where abouts in Leeds are you? I'll have to have a look out for you when i'm about!

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

Springs were bought and fitted before I even had the idea of a SC. Coilovers will be coming soon. New tyres first! Then coilies, then uprated internals, then more power! Thats the plan!

Thats a decent plan!

The sound is the best thing about it! After the imense power that is!

 

[Scott S]

Great car, really like everything about it. All I would say, is are the brakes up to more power?

 

[d4ve86]

looks quality, i might have to get this kit start of next year! what air filter is on the charger at the moment?

 

[MikeLYR27]

That is the mintest 172 ive ever seen! Looks stunning, bet it goes like fook!

 

[Android]

dare i say it ??

i think u need coilies to really set off the look

minted car though

 

[iimushroomzii]

Lovely car, pure awesome!

 

[AhmedRSi]

VID NEEDED!

 

[Jonff]

That looks immense Ben, especially like those motorway pics where the orange "oz racing" on your wheels has blurred and makes it look like the lips of the wheels are glowing.

 

[Liambo-235]

Love it mate! Love the colour, love the charger, love it all!

 

[robocup]

Sooooo good to see decent mods done like this , instead of your go faster colour coded bullets, turinis, silvervisions:sleepy: etc etc. Are you changing your steering wheel or is easier to control all that torque with ? Wheels look good, but not so keen on the exhaust, I reckon a pro speed cut into the bumper would look good, but that's my personal opinion. I like the standard ish look in and out though.
