Turbo 1.6?

[Barretted]

Hi there guys, haven't really ever posted on here besides when something goes wrong with my Clio (which is most of the time) but I'd like to see what a few of you think about my idea of installing a Turbo Kit to my 1.6 K4M Clio.

Of course the first thought is "Don't bother just buy a 1*2!" and while I'd love a 172/182, I think it'd be quite awesome to have a 1.6 Turbo Clio as they're quite unsuspecting. Most people see non-sports and think they're slow, where as a MK2 Clio with a GT25/GT28 setup would probably catch a few people by surprise.

Now as far as I know the only place that supplies a plug 'n' play Turbo Kit are TRW Performance. They supply the "TRW170 Kit" which comes with most of the needed components to do a full turbo setup for the K4M. (Click here for a link to the product on TRW Performance)

I'm not entirely sure how the K4M internals would handle around 0.5bar of boost, neither do I know if the driveshafts & gearbox will be good.

Let me know if any of you have ever considered this option if you ever had a 1.6, or if you have any information about it I'd greatly appreciate it!

If you want a standard looking Clio with a 1.6t, buy a 200t

But seriously, buy a 1*2 and fit 1.2 body panels. It'll be so much easier

Can't afford insurance on a 1*2 for atleast another year or so, this is why the Turbo idea has sprung to mind :')

Declaring turbo'ing your 1.6 will probably be more expensive.

As far as the insurance company are concerned it's a stock 1.6, and I intend to keep it that way o_o

Thats nice, hope you dont crash into me and my kids.

turboing it will make it even more unreliable.
wait a year and buy a 200 edc, if by some chance you dont think its quick enough, remap it, then it will be.
