Clio 197 SHES GONE WITH A BANG!! NOW SHES GETTING F4R774'd

[B16OJB]

big end bearing failure on my engine caused a big dirty hole in the front of my engine block.

so, i have been wanting to turbo her for a while and have been sorting an engine out for this!

R26 engine
R26 gearbox with LSD diff.
3" de-cat down pipe.
open air filter.
forge front mount intercooler
supersprint race exhasut system
mapping to suit by RSTuning.

should be nearly 300bhp so should be "nippy"

All should be up and running by mid to late July!!

My clio had been mapped, decatted, open air filter and ported TB.

It had done 42,000 miles and well serviced before the 12,000 or 1 year mark everytime.

i drive her hard but still with respect to the engine!

my mate "specky" the fitter at RSTuning has never known a 197 to do this!!??

Just my luck eh, she (the clio) knew i was planning on ripping her heart out and putting something else in lol.

keep you all posted guys!!!

Good to hear (That its getting F4RT'd) but bad that the engine blew itself to bits.

I assume RSTuning will be doing the conversion?

i was doing it anyway in 2-3 months but i was just surprised!

3rd gear about 3,500rpm she let go!

so i wasnt even givin her the bigguns at the time!!

 

[N0ddie]

I want to do this conversion so bad. A few years down the line yet though.

The one RSTuning will have done is Jonesy's?

I HAVE A CLIO 200 GEARBOX FOR SALE IF ANYONE NEEDS ONE AS I DONT NEED IT NOW DUE TO CONVERSION!!

I don't want to sound like an arsehole, but clearly haven't done your home worm! The Megan's gear but will fit on the clio engine and vice versa, and with what you have said above, unlless u go bigger injections or hybrid turbo and stronger rob bolts u won't be hitting 300bhp, people have had theirs stage two mapped and it's gone pop

be 280bhp i bet!

standard internals can go to 300bhp before you need better internals and thats coming from paul at RSTuning.

i really didnt wanna sound like an arsesole, and not saying anything bad on what your about to do!

everything on mine is standard. Speak to Paul at RS tuning as he done it
The torge figure is whats making the stage two mapped cars go pop, and thats either down to the rods or the rod bolts
having said that, only a hand full hand gone, but still, something you should think about

ive never ever seen a megane 300bhp or over on standard stuff, injectors pistons, rods etc...... im on megane sport.net. Sign up and you will get plenty of info.

if your going r26 gear box too you will need megane driveshafts

look here dude http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23918

no, mind is standard, all i have is an open cone air filter and im running 230bhp and 260ft/lbs, and yeah i got a fmc ( front mounted intercooler ) but the intercoolers out for the meganes are too big for our car, so you can either go for a pace cooler, or the FMc they use on the 182 turbo conversion, which is what i have.
Piper used my car as their demo car to make the exhausts on, so thats what i got on mine.

IF your going stage two mapped, i would air on the side of cation

 

[MikeH]

Make him become a paid member for the priviledge Jonesy???
