Best bet is to ask the fellas that did your conversion.

i'd say 3000miles anyway.

I'd say oil changes are important, otherwise I'd check with bb

I'd be buying oil and filters in bulk if I were you and change oil and filters and clean the IK or whatever its running ever 5k maximum and more likly 3k. If you track it them I'd chnage the oil straight away I'd imagine engine temps will be quite high.

cheers guys .anymore imfo on turbo clios?

 

[edde]

There not many turbo Clios out Nic Read has a high pressure turbo valver engine with 240hp or so but apart from that any Tony (who never started his engine I don't think) there are few owners.

leave it to idle for 30sec-1minute before turning it off, this is everytime otherwise you'll feck the turbo. and same mwith starting it up, let the oil get around it before moving so 30sec idling.

yh im used to warming her up cause it sometimes takes 30mins to get out of my works car park.every other d*ck just races away as soon as the engine starts!

Aswell as the 1 min idle drive it easily for the last bit of your journey keeping off boost low rpm etc to let coolant and oil temps to lower.
