Over the decades Ed Brown has worked on all kinds of vehicles at his company Harlands Motor Engineers<\/a> in England. Today we cover one of his special projects, a unique Renault Clio V6<\/a> Phase 1.<\/p>\n

\"Renault<\/a><\/p>\n

The car is no longer powered by a 2.9 L ESL V6. Instead Ed went with a turbocharged 2.5 L Subaru EJ25 flat-four built by Andy Williams at WMS Racing<\/a>. The boxer motor features a closed deck block with nitrided crankshaft, Williams forged rods, and Mahle 2618 forged pistons. <\/p>\n

A set of 2.0 L AVECS heads with Supertech valves and RMC multilayer gasket are held down with 14 mm studs. The motor is kept fed plenty of fuel by a set of DeatschWerks 750 cc injectors and RMC rails from a Bachler 340 l\/m fuel pump. <\/p>\n

\"Renault<\/a><\/p>\n

Boost is generated by a Precision turbocharger from a set of modified RCM unequal-length ceramic–coated headers. From there exhaust is sent through a custom 3-inch stainless steel tubing to the back of the car. All told the engine is capable of making 500 hp and 630 Nm (464 lb-ft) of torque on a Simtek ECU running AVECS and launch control. <\/p>\n

\"Renault<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Renault<\/a><\/p>\n

All that power is sent to the rear wheels through a Subaru five-speed transmission featuring custom linkage and axles. <\/p>\n

\"Renault<\/a><\/p>\n

Ed is looking to find the unique Clio a new home. The car is for sale for \u00a325,000 and located in East Sussex, England. Contact Ed here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
