Are there any people on here who have a Clio 1.8 turbo conversion?
Having a bit of trouble with fitting the boost hoses on the turbo due to not much space,mainly turbo to charge cooler

some pictures





Thanks in advance

 

that should shift, i had a 1.8 16v clio and it was a fun car to drive

what kind power does it kick out with a turbo? any engine mods to take the turbo?

 

Should be around 270bhp,engine mods are turbo,exhaust manifold,charge cooler,swirl pot,exhaust,injectors,ecu,and ofcourse lower compression
Maybe more but can't think of any more now,it's from a mate of me

 

i also know what a bitch it is to get to that side of the engine.

so much so, i fucked about with my exhaust manifold for about 4 weeks, kept blowing, so i broke it up for bits instead of fixing it

 

Anyone please

 

Have you tried speaking to BB Performance Tuning? Maybe they could help.

 

I used to have one of those

Non turbo tho, but I absolutely loved that car. Not owned anything since that has been as much fun to drive, including the beemer. Here's my old one:



How much have you spent turboing it?

 

@ mcrmatt1983:I believe the kit comes from BB Performance,we've troubles with fitting the turbo to charge cooler hose as there's so litlle space between turbo and the back of the engine that every mm is welcome.
Working on it tonight again so maybe we've a bit of luck.

@DogSmoke:It's a Grand Prix version of the Clio,only 500 made for German market to celebrate Michael Schumachers 2nd F1 World Title in 1995,very rare in Holland.Costs to build it is roughly about Ł4500 i think.

 

Car is running with "self made" hoses and pipes.
He's got the original ones today so,it only gets better hopefully.

Never expected it to have so much power with only 0,6bar pressure,see when it has 1,1 bar .

 

Get some pics and vids of it

 

I sure will

 

A Neighbour has just put a turbo lump in his Clio too.

Its a bit quicker than yours thou





and its 4WD

 

Frogford

That looks fookin insane!!!!

More pics/link/vids needed

 

That clio looks the nuts frogford a lad roung this area had a 172 with a turbo fitted it was only a low boost conversion but it was still very quick!

 

no vids as yet. Engine starts and runs but theres no inside as yet. Wires/electrics/alarm is everywhere. Hes spent the best part of 2 years building it ! No to everyones tastes but will imagine its a serious weapon.

Can just imagine the Chavs thinking its a Body kitted 1.2 Clio





As I said the exterior is not to everyones tastes but will be an awesome weapon when its finsihed. (and apparently its 'only' 340BHP )

 

is that a mitsi evo engine in that white car ?

 

 

That looks mental! I'd drive that about

 

that car is insane but looks chavvy,, right up my street

 

Is that so it doesn't take off?

 

i wouldnt drive that if it had 900bhp

 

That clio is probably the best street sleeper ever. I know it sounds silly at first but think about it, anyone that pulls up next to it will piss themselves thinking "look at the twat in his chavved 1 litre clio"

It would probably be more of a shock than seeing a base model one dissapear up the road

 

@ Frogford

That for sure is a lot faster

But 270 hp on a fwd is a lot

The exterior is indeed not everyones taste,also not mines

 

Here's a litlle vid of the car so far.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/9...1000608fc2.htm

It's now on 1.0 bar boost with no charge cooler and swirl pot yet.

Watch the Ford hose on the air filter because it's LHD we've had to do some changes,kit is made for RHD



Now it's just completing the charge cooler,swirl pot + pump and then put it on a dyno for a re-map,it should run 1.1/1.2 bar then and about 245bhp @ the wheels

 

looks really good!

i kno that white clio will be fast but it would be a lot faster without the 10 tonne of fiberglass and filler!!

oh my god that spoiler has jus made me spit food everywhere..fookin pissin myself.why oh why

 

270hp....

would like to see a graph to prove.....

looks 200 tops to me

 

That's what it should have

Not been on the dyno yet,but it is a bit faster then my stage 1 saph was

 

Goes well and it looks nice, like the wheels too

 

why "should" have...

That's a very fast Clio!

Where can I find it on the road?

* dutch mode on *

Ik moet nogal gaan oppassen voor dat ding dus

Wat zag ik, heb je jou sierra nu ook op "groen" ? Gebruik je hem nogsteeds dagelijks?

* dutch mode off *

 

It's of the road for the winter,so no worries.
Cossie is on greens as a "daily user"

Try there for more 16v turbo advice. There's a few on there.


jameswrx James, sleeper means it looks like a normal everyday granny-car but with monster power. THAT does not qualify as a sleeper mate. Awesome engine conversion and I bet it's pretty quick, but imo it is not a sleeper.

 

Ah ha not surprised to see a BB using Wossner Wossner do Cossie and RS Turbo ones too, were some on ebay..

Sure Andy at BB would be happy to give advise if it is one of their kits

Clio tuning / turbo conversions seem to be increasingly popular these days, BB's low boost Clio conversion was bit of a beast (7psi IIRC) K-tec Racing have done some blinding conversions too (not sure what there 172 is putting out at the mo, at Snetterton tuner GP last year I think Dave was marketing it as the 272 conversion, that is very impressive car)

Wossner make good pistons for a nice price

This is the only Clio high/low pressure turbo conversion in Holland afaik

The car is 99,9% ready so no longer help needed,was a ''hell'' to built but defo worth it
