So jealous of what you're gonna end up with, 300ish BHP in the Clio would be to die for.

Any rough idea of costs? Parts/Rebuild/fitting?

Usually roughly £4000. Depends on spec and availability of parts tbh. So could be slightly less or slightly more.

so after a bit of a false start. the old turbo blew its seals and the car died. so whilst your fixing it you may as well upgrade right. so got a hybrid turbo fitted. whilst it was having this done we decided to retro fit cruise control on to a cup. obviously to do this i needed a new wheel too. so why not the white and grey gordini wheel.


didn't need new discs but angels 330mm set up was just too nice to say no too.


so now its time to save up again as i need a 3" exhaust system to get to the magical 300bhp. the current 2 3/4 " system is too restrictive. but at the minute its an absolute beast that scares me every time i plant it.

just realised i never put the pics up of when it was completed.
almost back together. but shows black intercooler quite well

the new engine

on the way back we had to pop into maccy d's but as you can see we need a little bit of parking lessons.

Looking good James, are you running std injectors?

We need to hook up again and go hunting

 

[quik97]

White ones do look dam good what did you spend on the end on the meg conversion

 

[quik97]

about 4.5 by time id upgraded to hybrid turbo and got hold of a r26 box. worth it though the car is a different class to to the n/a lump

And I bet you dont miss all the things that attracted you to the N/A lump in the first place.
