V6 getting ready to launch up the strip at Crail
- Thread starter G man582
- Start date
Clio v6 & Atom 300
I owed a modified classic shape impreza turbo (RR'ed at 270bhp & 270 lb/ft) before my mk2 V6, so felt I had to add my views here.
After mods the scoob was faster, but thats not the point.
You buy a V6 because of the whole package, not just straight line speed / acceleration.
It is MID engined and rear wheel drive. Much more challenging to drive (than FWD or AWD) and thus ultimately more rewarding. Plus in the hands of a good driver (not you average jo) dare i say faster too! Racing cars have a similar layout for a reason!
All the "slow" V6's you see are standard and compared to modifed cars. Stripped out modded cars will always be faster than standard cars with leather, electric everything, climate control, etc etc. Because of the rarity and cost your less likely to strip all the leather etc out of a V6. If you did and added nitrous or a couple of turbos, then you'd see!
350bhp and lots of torque (plus the grip to use it!) can be achieved.
I'm not having a pop at any of the FWD boys but you need to look further than drag racing to understand why people buy V6's. I'd also openly admit bag for buck they lag behind the 172 / 182 crowd.
You buy em cos you love em! :approve:

Vertical bottles are better. Best setup is upside down, valve at the bottom facing rearwards, no tube. Not ideal for street use, needs checking regularly to prevent clogging...............
Most people don't have room for a vertical bottle so the the angled bottle you usually see is the best all round setup for street use. Dip tubes can be shaped to face anywhere they need to.

1) upside down vertical doesnt sound very practical
2) but the standard setup on the wizards of nos bottles is the dip tube is angled to the lowest point, when the valve is pointing downwards and the bottle is angled slightly from horizontal. will collect the most liquid.
suppose as long as its at a very slight angle it should catch all the liquid anyway, even if its like /
TRW1 - is this your n2o setup (from renault world series)?? cant remember if it was your car or the othe rmodified Vee next to it.
if it is.. can you explain your setup?? as i was looking at it thinking.. WHAT THE f**k! lol its like nothing i've seen before and was very puzzled as to how it functioned.
is it just a distribution block fixe straight to the pulsoid without using corssfire injectors? allthough the length of the pipes dont look equal? and how does it provide the extra fuelling?
also is that a t piece using a cheap solenoid as a purge?!

"are them bottles VERTICAL ??!!?!?!!
supposed to be at around 45 degrees with the valve facing the floor so the dip tube is at the lowest point of the bottle so you use all the liquid in the bottle"
You leave the serious stuff to us GUY - u stick to K & N filters

Mint 1*2's for sale-
This thread resembles the other nonsence from the other day with the MK1 V the MK 2-
Really people should have a little more respect- This is a Clio Sport forum- You could perhaps understand it if the forum was another Badge/marque- but No the same ol' names keep appearing slaggin off the VEE-
When really they are in no position to judge-
We have an evo owner who all he does is sl*g off a vee knowing full well that his car was built to go so fast to avoid the embaressment of anyone seeing the muppet who was driving it-
An then a Clio owner bashing the vee- What planet are you on???-
Whilst your blasting your 401BHP rocket ship up the strip to acheive a Quarter mile time of X,
all the V6 owners will be chatting up the tottie & relaxing in the paddock with the crowds of admirers- just like here-
