NRY turbo project

As some of you may or may not know, I am the person who has actually bought the legendary clio maxi turbo. Between Neil and myself we come to an agreement on the price of the car and then the chase was on to collect it which nearly didn`t happen due to problem with the car we was going to use to collect the car and blowing the engine the night before collection but luckily a kind person off RTOC come to the rescue with his recovery truck.

My main aim is to use the engine block itself but sell many of the parts off due to wanting more power and to also put it into the new naples that I bought to keep it look o.e on the outside for the sleeper look and then sell the maxi as a standard 1.8 16v lump with some extras but so as many as its had which will be removed from the naples which is a 70k engine :)

Re: NRY turbo project

first thing for me to do when I got the car was to attack the interior. It was dirty inside and covered in cob webs and smelt funny so there was only one thing to do, throw the carpet and underlay away and start again and once I did this I found the underlay soaking wet so was the best thing.

as it was:

carpet removed and lots of stero wiring still installed:

Re: NRY turbo project

My god that looks horrendous with that bonnet, spoiler and tacky yellow wheels on a green car. I would have been tempted to de-barry the bodywork and paint/sticker it up like a works clio maxi, set of speedlines and you would be away:)

I would have done the same but:

>bonnet has been modified for the 306 headlights
>spoiler has been properly cut and fitted as it is a r5 carisma spoiler which has been smoothed so would have been a new boot job
> wheels are 8.5j wide and still run 30mm spacers so putting 17's on still would have slowed the car down still would not have filled the arches out as much as I have wanted even with the 18's it didnt work
>roll cage has been welded and I want to keep the interior standard for the o.e sleeper look
>and as you said would have needed a respray. Easier job and less costly buy a o.eish valver:wasntme::laugh:

It did yes. I would do that put putting Williams interior in it, standard engine, suspension and so on and selling it on. Will be up to the new owner to so what they want with it and I am running out of room with 3 cars already!

Re: NRY turbo project

after splitting the gearbox and engine block found out the flywheel is standard that will be sent off to be lightened and balanced and also the clutch is a helix paddle and valeo outter cover so this was removed as going to go for a clutch which will be able to take alot more power. Won`t be able to do the flywheel until the clutch arrives so I can get it machined to take the clutch.

Also after checking out with the injectors the 570cc ones which I was going to go for seem to be too small so will be upping them to 756cc http://www.clio16valver.co.uk/forum/...on_biggrin.gif

Looking good Rich, loving the projects going on at the mo seems to be a few:agree:

I am suprised with the spec of your engine that it only had that clutch combo with it but then if it was only on the fastchips ECU that is all it would need:D Take it you will be using the same clutch as markey mark and turbo ted then. Get ole CTM to have a play with your fly wheel and get some slots in it:agree:

What sort of power you looking at?

I am going for as much as I can to be honest, 350ish would be good aslong as I can put it down:D I don`t think I will be going to the extent as Mark and Robbie as I think my box would break before the clutch. Mark and myself was in talks on Sat about what route to go and he is going to get me some quotes on clutches and go from there
