because its shiny

removed the chargecooler and haven,t put the clips back on yet as i was trying to locate the chargecooler header tank

Can't really comment on the engine to be honest. As we know nothing about it. Specs? Power? Performance, and what Clio is it going in?

And you cant see how much water is in it!

Never seen the point in them myself, got some better pictures of the car and more information?

Hope you sorted the bottom end bearing if your pusjing some power.

Its a clio 1.8 engine with modded crank, arrow steel rods ,wossner 8.5 to 1 forged pistons, wire ringed block, big valved ported head, some piper turbo spec cams, hybrid T28 turbo, pace charger cooler, air oil cooler and lots of other bits and pieces.

output will be between 350/400bhp.
performance is yet unknown.
car is a very highly modded clio maxi replica.

ScoobyDoo69 · 14 Jun 2007 at 20:00

will a T28 make that much power? I thought they normally make around 300 tops on like 2.0ltrs?

Berger · 14 Jun 2007 at 20:01

Output sounds a little high, knock it down to 250-300 id say.

makes 320bhp without cams and headwork. bb tuning sell this kit with either a 250bhp or a 320bhp map.

will post results once i,ve run it in.

AlanJ · 14 Jun 2007 at 20:18

Either way LOOKS damn nice!

as said just because you added cams dont mean the turbo can flow more air, a t28 will struggle to flow much over 300bhp it just cant supply the engine with enough air.
and as you would hopefully know air + fuel being burnt = power peak power is achieved around 12.5:1 afr (but lets say 10.5:1>11:1 on a turbo for cooling properties) if you cant get the air in no matter what cam what headwork you got you aint getting that figure, too small a turbo will be like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose

hence why i am running a t3 exhaust t4comp .63 ar turbonetics roller bearing turbo in my 306, a t28 just wouldnt do

Engine looks really nice, projected power figures do seem a little optomistic TBH.

But fairplay, should be fun :cool:

I've got to be honest though, there is a bit of a whif of BS in here

Post more pics of the car and engine, with the obligitory loaf of bread

NathanE · 14 Jun 2007 at 20:25

1.8 litre

I thought they only did 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0L engines for the Clio's?

Agreed with others that power estimates sound a bit optimistic.

clio 16vs are 1.8 same engine as i had in my 19 16v,
clio williams are 2l.

drop a clio/r19/megane derv crank in a 1.8 and you have a 2l aswell

take a pic with a loaf of bread on the engine

it proves your no bs'ing as its very random and your unlikely to be able to google a pic of an engine with a loaf of bread on

just the forums way of weeding out the bs'ers we get quite a few here
