i bet that is bloody hectic glad you made an update i love the handling on these clios just not the back ache from being a little too tall imo for a clio.
Dan's GTX3582r, 2.0 20v, project '600'
- Thread starter Dan1720v
- Start date
Yeh the standard driving position is somehwat to be desired. But a set of buckets and an aftermarket wheel soon sort that out.
So had its first outing on track, perfomed pretty much faultlessly. It has started to burn/smoke a bit of oil. But the core engine has done 140k, and its now running 1.7/1.8 bar of boost. So she'll be up over the 400 mark now. I've got a customers car to map later this month so hopefully I'll strap mine down and tweak it a little more. I should/need to find out where its burning the oil from, if its stem seals im happy enough to run it this season then build the motor over winter. if its rings then im a little less happy.
Thats awesome mate, reminds me of an orange clio that used to have a TT engine in it years ago. Saw it at FCS and Trax a few times back in the early 2000's.
One session here.. (Only 1.5bar in this)

Excuse the cornering noise, there was a couple of bolts in the channels under the seats that I
Couldn't get to when cleaning it out.
Nice onelooks like a right beast to drive goes through the gears well quick.
Was that a bit of clutch slip towards the end of the video?

Funnily enough iv'e just watched your video on cliosport,never realised you were on here lol.That is a beast BTW
Yeh, the clutch line had come unclipped and was resting on the downpipe. So heated the fluid up enough to cause it to expand and slip the clutch.
That was feb 28th..
Another video, with me chasing mick@diamond.

Also need to fit a swirl pot due to the surge you see I experience on right hand bends.
I also have some new seats
And Fully Rose Jointed front end (along with roll centre correction kit) to fit.
I want your clio,is the 1.8t engine and box any heavier than the original 2.0 16v engine and box?
I guess what im trying to ask is does it handle any different to how it was with the old engine and box in place.

We've worked out its within a few kg of the renault setup. But obviously having an intercooler etc will add a bit of weight.
In all honesty, it's handling is slightly different from before, but it didn't have a diff before so that could well be the difference in feeling. Feels epic when on song though.
I've just purchased a 2L swirl pot and hose work for it too, to eliminate that awful surge issue.

Fuel setup pretty much done (don't you hate it when you run out of cable when you're already committed?) thats since been hoovered and re-wired!)
I do need to fit a paddle clutch, I've wound it back up to 2 bar, on road tyres it'll spin in 5th (which will be 80mph+ when on boost) but 6th it starts to slip again.
It's bloody addictive though, turbo whistle at that boost level is nuts compared to 1.5bar.

Looks awesome. I've just some of them hubs to my clio too 
Might look into a swirl pot for mine aswell after seeing yours

Fitted them yet? They are literally single handedly the most noticeable change to the handling. It's epic.
Few videos from combe
session 1 includes my ambition over adhesion moment at camp (used to having the grip of R888's rather than AD08's)
