This is the beast I seen KTEC post up on FB then is it?

Looks awesome man! Bet it goes well!!!

 

[Mike]

Nice!!!

Tom Tom should release a track pack add on "Perform a U turn when possible" lol!

 

[fmp]

Yeah, its the one that k-tec have had a few shots of on thier FB.

Only had it back since yesterday, so still getting used to it. Drives a fair bit different to the N/A lump.

 

[lild-200cup]

what a beast!!! How much did this all set you back if you dont mind me asking?!

 

[N0ddie]

Love this car. Looks so good.

Still makes me want some Cup racer wheels.

How much did the conversion cost if you dont mind me asking?

Exactly the same spec as mine minus the brakes and turbo. Jealous.com
Well done mate. Looks ace

 

[Richy200]

Looks great nice job on that, bet it goes well

Stunning! 265bhp, bloody hell that is a seriously fast clio! I'm very interested to see how a clio drives with a turbo lump...

Any feedback on Ktec service?

PS. I'd love to see a video

 

[Jonesy]

is the engine forged? or are u still on standard internals? and hows the gear box coping?

 

[smiler]

i didnt know k-tec had managed to do a turbo :0 would love to go down that route with the 197,

car is looking good bet your really chuffed with the work

 

[PB.200]

You obviously spent a lot of money so why not £700 extra for a bigger turbo/compressor wheel and run over 300bhp? You can also drop the lbft a bit too with a bigger turbo to save the box and flatten the torque curve.

It's not a turbo installation on the Clio engine, it's an R26 one

Thanks for all the comments.

Jonesy - Engine is not forged. Just standard Megane engine with a remap. Although I do have a spare bottom end and head, so i may build up a forged lump over time.

Gearbox is ok so far, but only had it back a few days. Have Le Mans RS track day at the end of the month, so will see how it copes.


PB.200 - whilst i have spent a few £££ over the cars short life, I unfortunately do not have an bottomless pit. But in future I may consider a different turbo.


Price wise to those who asked, with supplying your own engine, K-tec charge around the £2000 mark (+vat), but its all reletive to what condition the engine is, what parts you go for etc.


One thing I will say is I am really impressed with the quality of work. All the little details have been taken care of. No cut corners, no bodge jobs. Apart from things like the red silicone hoses etc, you would be hard pushed to tell it didnt come out of the factory like it.

Everything still works, cruise control, ESP, rev limiter light and beep, etc etc. Starts on the button everytime. And drives like a normal car. It really is a complete package.

I think once the car has some proper suspension sorted and a diff installed (things for the future) it really will be an immense car, that will be a serious hoot on track.

Although I do need to learn the characteristics of this new setup. As in the damp on hard throttle I was getting wheel spin...... in 4th!

 

[Jonesy]

wheel spin can be mental! even in the dry, can u post up a puck if your header tank please?
