Clio Williams turbo

[mays]

done a little research after my post on the twin webber 45s.... spoke to a few people and it turns out that low pressure turbo conversions are spose to be a good idea.. priced everything up and its guna be over a grand but its said the running 10 psi 210 bhp can be made.. sounds interesting....

10psi with standard internals..... runnning 5 turbo..
the space under the bonnet seems a real joke... especially as i wanted to run a front mount if i were to do the conversion.... space for intercooler piping is minimal...

anyone had it done.... done it....
many thanks. danny

hope you dont mean a standard renault 5 gtt turbo? t2 would be to small for a 1.8 really.

most people use chargecoolers with the conversion. be warned though the pace chargecooler cores are apparently shocking

coops was running a low boost conversion.

[Coops]

didnt fit it tho myself, and then suitably blew it up! lasted 4 years and 10000 miles tho till i got my greasey paws on it, lasted 1k and 2 months!

chargecooled, with battery in the boot for space
std internals, green injectors, 2 bar map sensor, 1.6mm headgasket

ran 9psi of boost, and put out 217bhp and 172lb/ft of torque at its last RR

heres how cramped it gets!

so is urs actually the 1.8 16v engine then or what.... ive got the williams engine..... what turbo was used..... im told that 12 psi can be run max with the standard pistons......
a duno what ur on about sayin that the 5 turbo wont be enough because the car dosent have one for starters..... plus..... im not guna run a huge turbo on 10 psi am i mate.... the lag would be a joke for 10 psi... hmm...

renault 21 turbo injectors do the job.... its just finding them...
reno 21 turbo map sensor has to be used aswell....
ill more than likely be using a reno 5 turbo.... or an impreza turbo which i have that dosent seem to be that big.... no chargecooler tho... big front mount is always guna look good...

engines out this week.... converting it to manual steering aswell....

renault 5 gtt turbo is to small for a 1.8 or 2 litre engine trust me especialy if you plan to run 10psi on standard pistons
