Renault Clio RSi - Volvo 480 ES Turbo conversion advice plz

Post by ClioRSiTurbo » Thu Apr 12, 2012 12:35 am

I need to speak to someone regarding Renault Clio - volvo 480 turbo engine conversions... I've just bought a Volvo 480 ES turbo, was an ES but had a B18ft dropped into it, running a t25 got some more info if needed, I'm picking it up in 3 days. I currently own a Clio RSi 1.8 8v and want to drop the turbo lump into the Clio, I know it's a big job but I'm going to do it, mechanical side of things I should be fine with.

It's the wiring side I want some help and advice with, bit skint at the minute but any help that gets that turbo running in my car will be rewarded with a drink etc...

Not one to join and post forums usually but would really appreciate the help, please help me.

Thanks in advance

would that be the blue one which was an early turbo conversion that was advertised 3 times on ebay very recently by berts-industries. The highest price was £525 but was relisted after that !

look at this thread...http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/v ... 0&start=40

That is the one yea, why?

It's been resisted due to him being messed about, I'm collecting it on Sunday, spoken a good bit, got address etc...

Sorry if I sound thick but is that thread related to th Volvo I'm buying? Looks to be a different one...
