My K20 Clio 182 - Tuning, Rolling Road & Issues! *Part 5* 🇯🇵🇫🇷 

Haha bit of a crossover eh! 😆

Thank you mate 👍🏻

Fingers crossed! 🤞🏻💪🏻

Thanks mate! One of my mates is doing a 20v swap at the moment. Check out D7R Fabrication on Facebook 👍🏻

Legend mate! Thank you 💙

😄😄 Yeah he's a gooden! Done a good Job of it along with Custom Production!

8600rpm now 😉 Buzzing to drive it! Last few bits getting finished off now. Have a word with Custom Production if you're thinking of getting it done mate. Drop them a message on Facebook

I love Scooby's... But this is different 😊

😄

I'm hoping very soon matey! 🤞🏻

I was going to get some Aerocatches, but I want to get a fibreglass bonnet and avoid using them if I can. Managed to source a new inlet, so I'm hoping it will all sit flush when it's on 😉

@@GEARED_MrLucas sorted. Love the car mate, really miss my ITB phase 1. Epic conversion but ironically the F4R was pretty bulletproof - it's everything else you've got to worry about normally!

Cheers matey! I haven't added it up for a while... bit scared too 😄 But I'll do a video soon with the total costs once it's all finished 👍🏻

I will do a video on it all explaining the costs soon mate 😊 Very open to showing how much it's cost

Yes, fully legal to do in the UK luckily 😊 Have you Meg swapped yours?

@@GEARED_MrLucas Still looking for a clean example in reasonable price, believe it or not.. Good thing I'm not in a hurry There are 6 or 7 cars for sale in the whole country :/ I don't know what to do, probably ill go light turbo..

😔😔

Stop it 😄

Sorry I've just seen this! Yes will definitely be at some shows next year 😊

@@GEARED_MrLucas No worries mate, my Clio 182 needed a new injector and coil pack and seems to be down on power low down since... Seems ok motorway speeds...pm me a meet up as I'm really interested in the k20 conversion.

@@GEARED_MrLucasby the way if you ever consider selling your Clio k20 let me know, it would save me having to convert mine! Where did you source the k20 from and how many miles did the k20 have on... Cheers

😄 I will find out, but 226bhp with an inlet and TB should be doing more than that. Civic Cup maps run 230+bhp on a standard inlet and TB 👀 Suppose it all depends on where they get mapped, what sort of Dyno, transmission loss, correction factor etc 😄 It gets technical

@@GEARED_MrLucas Well this question got me doing some research, short version is, correction factor and environmental inputs make the biggest differences. DIN and SAE give slightly differing numbers it seems, and no correction at all gives you the raw numbers for that moment in time only

@@GEARED_MrLucas Having the car strapped down too tight can create a higher drag number, but would normally rob HP, then having the air intake sat up so high also will fudge the number a little, as running with the bonnet down would then rob HP. Just can't get my head around why it's lost almost 62bhp at the wheels compared to the measured flywheel hp number?

@@captainsvlog Been speaking to one of my mates (J.Cal) who maps these and uses all sorts of dynos. Basically he said because of it being an older MAHA dyno, they do read lower WHP than they should. Then it has a massive drag value, so it's measuring the weight of the rollers/retarder plus the drive train weight. Just how this one works, but I'll get it on another at some point. Don't want to get too hung up on figures 😄 As long as it works as it should, I'm more than happy 😊

@@GEARED_MrLucaswe can't argue with that dude 🤣 I ended with the same conclusion when my own car failed to make the numbers I thought it would, it works great, but all these variances in Dyno numbers got me reading and nerding out ha ha, I find it really interesting.

More than welcome too mate 😘

@@GEARED_MrLucas I just need a date and location. Donington is always a good one 😉

Was speaking to my mate about this. It's mainly because of it being an older MAHA dyno, The WHP reads lower on them than it should, due to the large drag value that they have. I will however try and get it on a different dyno at some point, but as long as it feels good I'm happy 😊

Are you ok? 🤔 You've mentioned that it's on eBay for £13,500 on two of my videos now - What are you trying to prove? The price the owner (Not me) is selling it for has nothing to do with you

Because it's a far better superior engine in comparison to an F4R 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@GEARED_MrLucas Who told you that? So then stick to an EP3

@100kmp Who told me that? 😄 It's a fact. It's a challenge to get 220bhp out of a F4R NA. A few bolt on to a K20 and you're at 240bhp - 250bhp. You can turbocharge and supercharge a standard K20 without forging and get it to 400+bhp easily, the same can't be said about an F4R. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great engine still, but no where near as superior as a K20

@100kmp A Cliosport in standard form has the better chassis, 100% though. You have to spend on an EP3 and change multiple things to get it near the handling of a 182. So I thought why not, something different isn't it?

@@GEARED_MrLucas I know as i had and tracked a Ariel Atom 3.5R Supercharged. K20.

Are you ok? An F4R is stronger than a K20? 🤔

@@GEARED_MrLucas Yes it is f4R 220 bhp is stronger than k20 250 bhp.

Again.... No it's not at all 😄
