clio 197 cup turbo???

[clivecarrington]

i have a clio 197 cup i was wondering wether a turbo could be fitted to it an how much power it would have?? would it be the same as the megane?? and would it damage the engine??

[Jason182]

I believe it is possible but costs a fair bit. Good place to check out is www.cliosport.net should be plenty of info on there if you do a search.

Is this the 80s?

I forgot about the era where more power=TURBO!

[clivecarrington]

what other options are there?? isnt a turbo the best way to get a big rise in power??

[PaulTypeR]

Yes it is. N/A tuning is far more expensive. Turbo charging ain't cheap though. I say sell your clio for a megane, preferably an R26. If you want more power then remapping an already turbocharged engine to deliver more boost is relatively cheap and gainful.

Ask around on clio197.net if its possible then someone will have done it there. Haven't really heard of it being done.

Have you tried lying the seats flat?

A company called GDI are developing a supercharger kit for the 197,they have already done one for the 172/182 which is about 260bhp but they scrap the standard ecu and run omex so you would lose cruise control/traction control etc,but theres a company called rs tuning that can map the standard ecu
