Andy's rear engine, VR6 Turbo Mk1 Clio

Hi lads,

Andy, who some of you will know (Aka Blocky amongst other aliases :-) ) has been putting the finishing touches to his Mk1 Clio recently. It has a 3L VW VR6 motor running a GT40 VNT, external wastegate, charge cooler, O2A gearbox and Link G4 management. We were on the dyno till gone 3am on Friday night finding the best way to control the VNT and wastegate combo while getting it mapped up. The result was 430hp and 430lb/ft at 1.3 bar.

The grip in this thing is phenomenal, it'll take it all in 2nd gear. I've never felt forward propultion like it, it's mind bendingly quick :)

And more

That's meantal. Must have a huge power band.

That's fap worthy!

Been following the build over at c16v. Nice bloke!

Fabrication skills are amazing!

Great result!

:cool: class! It would seem that 400 is the new 200 nowadays;)

Awesome, been a few years in the making!!

So the real question is who did the mapping.... ? :gagged:

Well done blocky some motor that been a while will we see soon ?

Andy at the keys for this one but a bit of effort from both sides regards the full throttle map. Great car, it should be at a few shows this year, national day, etc. :)

How do the other sides three exhaust outlets make it around to the turbo?

The exhaust ports are all on the rear of the head Ian, they're a tight V, single cylinder head.

way to go, munter hunter ftw

very nice :cool:
badly need to get mine back on the road:cry::cry::cry:

Fwoar!
