Turbo Conversion

[clio182cup]

If i was to do a turbo conversion on my 182 whats the most amount of bhp i would be looking at

 

[badinvincible]

Depends.

 

[clio182cup]

on

 

[White16valver]

a lot of things.



lol

Well ive got the money, would it be possible to get near 300bhp

 

[Gareth]

no, more like 250/260

 

[badinvincible]

BBPT runs about 240bhp IIRC.

j3neds Clio TT VAG 1.8T runs about 300+.

IIRC BenR said the lump is good for about 320BHP in N/A form, so should clear 300BHP with a blower. However it will be costly and also i dont know what the reliability would be like or how long the transmission/clutch etc could cope.

 

[clio182cup]

what about bigger turbo and more boost, if u had low comp pistons and comp rods

**BANG**

 

[badinvincible]

For 182 and 300+BHP money, why not just get a R33 GTR or Evo?

 

[Turkish]

Bigger turbo normally only results in more lag, its better to try and keep a smaller one if you can.

 

[badinvincible]

Or get two little ones

 

[Gareth]

BBPT say 276Bhp @ 12 psi :

[badinvincible]

I stand corrected.

 

[clio182cup]

who am i best to talk 2

 

[White16valver]

The people mentioned in the above posts.

 

[McBunny]

bbperformance but be ready to give them 7k + then the rest

 

[TheJesus]

basically the question you should be asking is how much money do I need to waste on a turbo kit to get 300bhp... the answer? "more than its worth". your better off ditching the F4 and getting a 1.8 225bhp VAG unit

 

[White16valver]

Megane turbo lump?

 

[clio182cup]

i really wana keep the engine in it and get more power out of it

 

[Gareth]

its depends on whether you are willing to spend 7k upwards on a clio engine at the end of the day. Or you could go out and buy an Impreza / Evo, most people do the later, it depends on whether or not your willing to be different.

335bhp to be precise

 

[BBPT]

276 BHP is certainly not the engines limit.

I would say that over 400 is easily available with the right turbo etc. We will be mapping our one to 21 psi boost over winter for publicity purposes, would like to see 350BHP.

Saying that you cant drive the thing on normal road tyres as it is with 272 ft lb of torque. Sensible road car should aim for 240 - 250 with identical torque

[Gareth]

mmmmm cold dense air, turbos love it. My old 5turbo used to go like a rocket in the winter.
