Renault Sport Clio 197 Racing Red

[Goldin]

I see that things are getting pretty serious
Nice job :thumbup1:

 

[Counterdoc]

You have to check the bolt! I think you used the standard M8 bolt? It will definitely break! We drilled a bigger hole and used a M10... but it was also broken after one rally. Now I am using a M12 12.9 ...

 

[Raptor6767]

It broke?

I'll fit a bigger bolt eventually, but it seemed to me there was no excess stress on the lower mount...

Will try and make it bigger when I remove the fog lights so I don't need to remove the bumper twice.

TNX for the tip.

 

[Counterdoc]

Yes... it broke after about 100 km...

 

[Raptor6767]

I made at least 200km by now.

Lols at the last one where you gave him the finger

[Raptor6767]

I was bored at the moment, had a tongue out too but it doesn't show in the video.

Been busy today...I had my intake manifold ported and matched couple of years ago and since I've changed an engine. This one doesn't have a ported cylinder head ergo - the intake on the head and the inlet manifold ports didn't match. Till today.





Intake manifold:



Cylinder head, "ported" vs stock (the 2 on the right).



STOCK



"PORTED"



My idea was just to remove that "step" between the ported and matched intake manifold and the cylinder head. Of course, I blocked the passage to the valves so the aluminium residue doesn't enter the cylinder, and the rest I vacuumed with the vacuum cleaner.

Impressions? TBH, my butt dyno says that I have a better throttle response, and MAYBE some more kick at >5krpm.

Butt dyno

Good work! Hope its worth it in the long run! Bet it took a while!

 

[Raptor6767]

It only took 7h and a pair of bloody hands. :d

 

[Raptor6767]

Now, waiting for the new wheels to arrive.

Hello

your clio is amazing


but please tell me why 215/40/17 not 215/45/17?

 

[TB Rich]

You are a nut case taking a die grinder to the head whilst fitted to the car!!

Looks like you've gained a fair amount of port area though. As long as gas speed isn't hurt too much for low to mid range, it'll help up top for sure.

TNX.

Because it's like installing a shorter final drive.





And it'll look nicer when OZ Alleggerita's come (because they look one size smaller due to their design).

Yep, I know.

I've put a sock in every port, used a vacuum cleaner and an air blower afterwards.

Couple of mods left to do on the car this year (if my finances allow me to ) performance vise (custom intake manifold, head work and a remap). I believe I could squeeze out a 10-15bhp more.
And the next year I'll probably make/buy a lightweight flywheel and that's it for the engine. I believe/hope it'll be as fast as a Megane 275, and that's enough for me.

For now.
