Hey all looking at making this happen but want some info. How did you get to 300+ bhp? whats it like to drive? Pros and cons? good daily driver? what will this effect on the car? what else would you change? Reasons for doing this? Sweet.
Con. Traction issues pro. Grins! con. Tyre cost and strain on other drivetrain components pro. Grins! reason. Sh*ts and gigs. i don't think it would be a lot different from a standard stage 2 in terms of off boost apart from maybe fuel consumption but I think a bigger turbo would be needed so an increase in lag is to be expected unless you go down the tubular manifold route to use a roller bearing turbo, obviously forged rods and pistons are needed due the weakness of standard and I'm not sure if forged pistons are lower compression, if so off boost torque suffers slightly. When my engine cacks itself eventually.......still strong at 150k miles I'm trying for big power so I say do it!.
She was standard upto 100k, stage 1 upto 130k,stage 2 with cooler,de-cat 3" ect 287bhp upto 145k, just dropped it back to 1.1 bar after having the cambelt done simply because it's overkill for the school run lol. It's still ultra strong and quiet though, testament to proper Renaultsport servicing I suppose, never been run on anything else than elf competition oil all it's life.
Mine is on 285. With a hybrid. Sometimes I wish I didn't do it. Other times its a hoot.. and makes me smile.
Its had normal servicing every 12 months upto 100k before we owned it, then about every 6k miles now, still doesn't use any oil, it's like a car with half the miles if I'm honest.
1)Decat-hybrid turbo-clio 1*2-197 cams. 2)Really nice (my car-1200kg-is faster than a porsche 996 turbo. Off course not at 0-100km/h). 3)I dont understand 4)As engine smoothness is excellent. The problem is that if you want to be safe with this bhp you must put stiffer suspension, so not very confortable on daily driving. 5)You need for sure a much better clutch kit 6)LSD, clutch kit, suspension (and in my opinion forged engine) 7)You have money and you dont know what to do with them... You re going crazy for speed and you like to to take your car, go to the mountain, and try to do the best time from a point to another with a renault sport over 300bhp. Because of you asked the No7 you are not the type for a conversion like that. Usually those who have the craze of improvement not ask.
Hey all thanks for the replies. Cost is always the big issue. Im thinking go with stage 2 big injectors decat and supporting mods. it's good to see what you guys have done and experiences on the big power. Maybe one day I'll spend the time and money to reach my goal.
hybrid turbo 630cc injectors 2.75" turbo back exhaust Forge intercooler Forge actuator Forge re-circ valve TTV billet SMF r26.r clutch kit 302bhp / 320ft.lb It still drives perfectly steady around town, not compromised in anyway But, when an open stretch of road appears and you can burry the throttle it never fails to put a smile on my face. The MPG has only taken a small drop, but is to be expected with 80bhp over standard. I've upgraded the brakes (lines, fluid, DS1.11 pads, Brembo HC discs). Next plan is to finish building my forged / reworked engine to see what power my hybrid turbo will max out at.
Wow that's what I'm after. Is there an exchange place for turbos to go hybrid. The recirc valve is it better that BOV and what's TTV billit?
Have you not looked at engine dynamics website, they do different stages of builds and costs, seem quite reasonable
Yeah my car is 285 bhp. As I had it set up really safe. By Paul. And it on 85k servicing every 6k/6 months.
70 K on these engines nowadays is nothing. The depriciation starts seriously going downhill after about 80K but if you don't care then an engine could reach 200K. These engines are big and can take more thrashing than you think. the issue will be with electrical faults and irritating stuff like that but not the engine.
