Why make something easy when it can be hard?

 

[litchy]

That's funny and I like your style!!!

Really looking forward to this.
Has anyone done their own turbo conversion before without doing the Meg one?

Awesome work mate.

Let's judge it when/if I pull it off.

It will be a money pit for sure.

Great stuff, looking forward to seeing how this progresses. They are some serious gains to be made...

PS, your mechanics are so much hotter than in the UK :w00t:

Good luck with the upgrade Rene.

Andy has done his (shakeyhand), basically he had a megane engine in, then he put back the original one and turbo'd it running close to 400bhp lol.

Add him to the Whatsapp group.

Would like to read more about the conversion.

 

[Yiannis197]

Don't know him personally I'm afraid. His thread is here though

 

[Raptor6767]

Dammit.

Engine Dynamics have done a turbo conversion now but dont think its been released to the public yet. Im sure there be happy to help you with any questions you have thou. Cant see it lasting long at 280bhp on standard internals but good effort on giving it ago.

Traitor........! :lol:

As good as you'll make it, wouldn't it be easier to just buy a mk3 Meg? Once a Clio isn't NA doesn't it lose the whole core appeal of it?

 

[Russell]

shoulda put the money towards throttle bodies!! :jase:

Only time will tell...

Wanted to keep the stock compression so it will have the same power as it did without the boost when out of the boost range. Like N/A.

Say hello to my little friend...8)

875cc Siemens DEKA to match the colour of the car.

Whats the specs on the turbo then? I see people saying like 15t, 19t etc so what's this one? Is it more the better (but more lag??) - I know chuff all about turbos!

 

[Raptor6767]

It's a ~550bhp turbo.

Mounting the IC as we speak/type.
