Fred @ btm was meant to be doing an r27 this month. R26r engine and gearbox, mapped
to 270bhp I think.

Think the 197 owner backed out.

Theres a famous youtube video of a spanish car ( IIRC ) on the dyno with the megane engine fitted.

Personally for me it'd take away what the clios meant to be, naturally aspirated high revving fun. Why not just buy a 225 for £8000?

Is there already a supercharged 197 on the roads today?

 

[Liambo-201]

^ Yeah i think there is a few but one of the firsts and probably best looking one is Sean's

 

[ryan197]

sean didnt or hasnt completed yet as it. It kept blowin up. The only other ive heard streamline carbons and that nearly close.

 

[Liambo-201]

Sean's is complete.

 

[CraigAPD]

Ive had various people enquiring....no yet had the balls to go through with it.

 

[ryan197]

Sean's is complete.

where you hear that from, the last time he was on hear he was having problems with the engine popping

 

[ben_r1]

Its safe to assume that if your looking for a reliable and sizable bhp increase a supercharger is not the way forward lol.

 

[Gouldy]

i cant see why it wouldnt be reliable with forged pistons and connecting rods. once the internals have been uprated it would be the gear boxes that would fail.

the supercharged conversions seem to be unreliable because most people that have done them have not bothered to upgrade the internals. just bolt on supercharger kits.

as for the meg turbo conversion, IMO i would just buy a meg turbo, the clios are all about NASP fun

seans is finished
