Need an engine for my Williams

[16v_paddy]

Yes, turbocharged Mk1 Clios are utterly awful & for people not man enough to properly tune a naturally aspirated engine

If just replacing or rebuilding an engine is expensive to you, the cost of going turbo or itb's properly will make you shit yourself

Succinct....hehe

Ok ok so what can be done to achieve the same sort of power from n/a just want more power

[16v_paddy]

Many thousands of pounds for both turbo or itb's.

Your only viable option for under £1k or there abouts is a set of cams & pullies, bigger injectors and a remap. Add another£500-600 for getting the head ported etc & you can get somewhere around the 185bhp mark on a healthy engine.
Add another £1500 or so to that & with a bit of luck with on used parts you can convert to itb's & be somewhere close to the 200bhp mark

As for the turbo route, you're looking at similar costs but utilising a different combination of parts compared to itb's

Thanks 16v paddy, are there any threads with the cam and pullies spec with part details anywhere on this forum

[16v_paddy]

No but all the information you'd need regarding the specs of any particular cams is available on the manufacturers websites, the main ones are
Kent http://www.kentcams.com/product-manu...enault/m/Clio/
Piper http://www.pipercams.co.uk/pipercams...&go.x=0&go.y=0
& Catcams http://www.catcams.co.uk/acatalog/Fu...le-list-4.html

The pullies aren't anything particulary special or complicated & don't have "specs" per se, they're just the right size & are adjustable in order to set the cams up correctly

It all depends on what sort of power you're wanting to go for, turbo or N/A and how far you want to take it that will determine what cam profiles to go for

Personally I wouldn't bother. Keep it standard and don't chase power. It's a never ending game. Instead keep the car as fresh as possible with new parts.

[16v_paddy]

Oh and if you start to get disheartened about the costs involved, just remember that it could be worse, there's a massive (albeit devilishly handsome) retard on here that's so far got just over £2k invested in a cylinder head that's fitted to a car that doesn't even run yet

[zaf]

Hahaha thanks Paddy....ok so cams and pullies remap.....all I need is someone that can help me to add them on...

Bass_direct you said you could help...is this something you can help with or shall I just get a mechanic to sort it.....

[16v_paddy]

KJ16v on here is the guy for mapping standard ecu's, his website http://www.voodoo-tuning.co.uk/#

Fitting them is the easy part & whoever fits the head for you can do that easily enough - the hard part which you will want KJ to sort (as he'll have the correct tools) will be to dial the cams in then map it
