TBH I've only spoke to Ben a couple of times and found him to be very helpfull each time. However he seems to have very good ideas which he starts but never follows through. The most recent example of this is with the super cup inlet manifold. If you have a search through cliosport you will find...

Was it a white one by any chance?

I also run the ds2500, HC and braided lines set up on the Red Rocket and it stops it with ease, so you'll be well happy :D

Spotted about 08.30 this morning heading north, I was heading south in my Vectra so didn't see the point in flashing and waving LOL

Yeah happy b'day Ben, looking forward to having a catch up with you in the summer on anothr one of your epic adventures :D

Got mine today, thank you very much. Just wish I'd bought one sooner :D

The adaptor would have to bought from ktec, I'm not sure if its available seperately but TBH the most restricive point of the exhaust system is at the rear of the cat where it drops to 2", the sports cat still has this restriction so IMHO it's a waste of time. If your determined to have a cat...

First off make sure it's all the same diameter 2 1/4", as ktec have all their own brand exhausts done by janspeed so you could end up with a mis match. As for fitting it's relatively straight forward, the bit you refer to regarding the sports cat having a different fitting to the mid section it...

Have a look at the members map at the top left of the page :)

And some clean pants :lol:

Sure will be mate, with fresh shocks and everything :D

Don't worry mate it's taken me ages to get to the bottom of it and Identify the problems, Ktec still haven't worked it out. As such I've removed and sold Ktecs full conversion and am building my own. Needless to say it should be quite impressive when it's finished. :D

Sure can, basically the turbo set up has some flaws and only seems to be able to flow a maximum of 12psi positive pressure when the engine speed exceeds 5000rpm on wide open throttle. As such my top end is some what pathetic as the boost has dropped from 20psi. It will give a maximum of 280...

The BHP of SC Vs Turbo are as follows At 2700 (both graphs start here) SC= 65 Turbo=75 3000rpm SC= 90 Turbo= 95 3500rpm SC= 110 Turbo= 140 4000rpm SC= 150 Turbo= 185 4500rpm SC= 180 Turbo= 215 5000rpm SC= 210 Turbo= 240 5500rpm SC= 240 Turbo= 250 6000rpm SC= 265 Turbo= 260 6500rpm SC= 290...

Sorry Cue those are the torque values, I'll be more than happy to post the BHP if you'd like?

I'd never really thought about the torque differences in the lower rev range so I just compared Pauls 328bhp Supercharged clio against my 267bhp Turbo clio and the torque readings are quite interesting At 2700 (both graphs start here) SC= 130 Turbo=150 3000rpm SC= 160 Turbo= 170 3500rpm SC=...

Yeah it was fun, we'll definitley have to do it again this year mate, might avoid that pub at the end though LOL

Yeah we had a right laugh last year, don't remember stopping off for all the fancy photography though :D

Throttle bodies are always an interesting choice, the only downside is that when you want to take them a stage further the only additional mods (cams/headwork etc..) you can fit move the power band further and further up the rev range which is great on track, but for normal road driving could...

Off the shelf conversions I'd take RStunings supercharger kit as you get 250 bhp and don't have to go to the hassle of stripping and rebuilding the engine. Or if your a bit switched on, build your own turbo kit, as with the aid of a boost controller you can have a lot more flexibility by...

Ben just get a motorbike and use it for trackdays, it'll cost you half the price of getting a track car ready you can ride them to tracks so you don't have to piss about with trailers etc... and once you learn how to ride properley you'll be lapping miles faster than practically any car out...

See you at ND then, as I couldn't make it last year so have vowed to go to this years.

You attending any of the rtoc events this year?

Hoolio, stop being a softy. RTOC is easily the best forum I've ever used, it's almost bell end free and the fact that most people run 5's means there of a mature age and you don't have to suffer the same drivel you get on cliosport. TBH most of the lads are super switched on and any problems...

Mate I've got them on on mine (Ktec group N mounts), I figured it would be a sensible upgrade with the extra grunt of the turbo. I've had no issues with them what so ever and would highly recomend them to anyone. One thing I did notice is my exhaust tailpipes don't bounce up and down half as...

I did actually comment in one of your threads on RTOC with a comment along the lines of "what you really need is a turbo trophy, now that would be awesome ;)" but it was a bit subtle and you didn't pick up on it. :D TBH whilst I do appreciate that the Trophy is a bit special you wouldn't...

SOLD :) Thanks for all the interest (you boring trophy enthuisiasts) :lol:

Apologies for the cropped photos, not sure why it happend but I'm more than happy to email pics to anyone whose interested.

As a few people on here know last year I was the first customer to have Ktecs low pressure turbo kit fitted to my car. After a little while the turbo bug bit and I stripped the engine and rebuilt it using full forged pistons and rods as well as fitting a paddle clutch for good measure. I'm now...

Interesting read mate and some thing I can relate to coming from a revo'd Ibiza Tdi 130, running eibach suspension 17" wheels and S3 brakes. However I'm going to have to disagree with you in a few areas, basically the engines are gutless below 2000rpm when the turbo kicks in with an almighty...
