Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
I thought it might be a good idea for everyone whos cars are off the road to make a list in this thread of there cars and whats needed to be done to get them to national day?
Maybe this way smaller problems could be sorted by local members if needed?? Or just some advice given??
My list stands at
1- Rusty windscreen panel replaced
2-Turbo rebuilt(bit smokey )
Anyone else feel free to add :agree:

-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
Fit new brake lines
Change rear pads
Decide wether to fit roll cage or not
Fit pace inter cooler
Fit gt2860r turbo
Fit 285 cam and springs
I'll probably only get the brake lines done by then.
-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
lol, sometimes it can take an age to get things done. Best way is to book some time to it and crack on :agree: i got my turbo off today, not much play which foxed me a little, but rear is wet with oil, I ran the engine without the turbo, no smoke but i did notice that the oil drain couldnt get rid of the oil that was being pumped out the feed pipe, i think the turbo bearing restriction will probably slow the flow enough tho.

-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
wish my fogs worked :( thats a little to do list that never gets looked at.
As long as the steerings connected to the wheels along with some form of engine driving them and a bit of braking from somewhere then im happy :agree:
-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
Need to fix my turbo or replace and fit a front mount intercooler
-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?

Sounds good to me....... makes me realise how many massive projects are going on lol
-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
where do i start......
1.) cut adaptronic loom in half and add a connector in the engine bay so i can remove the engine and leave the ecu and loom in the car
2.)fit turbo teds old T34 and external wastegate, remake downpipe with a 3" flex so it dont crack again. fit 500cc injectors fit v8 rear engine mount, fit jc5 gearbox so i can have a speedo with programmable boost
3.)paint the inside of the car floor in digital Camouflage
4.) get some /make DOOR CARDS!!!! front and rear just flat ones and wrap them in a rat look/comic book look
5.)put in my cobra evolution seats and harnesses
6.) strip the lacquer off my ronal turbos and mirror polish
im sure this list will get bigger, ive just cut out 2 carryer bags of wiring out my valver dash conversion (central locking, radio, electric windows ect) and integrated switched live feeds and constant feeds for my adaprtronic its just when i did my minimalistic wiring in the engine bay i made the hole for the loom so small i cant pull it through the scuttle panel :cry: so hence me putting a durite 20 pin plug in the engine bay.
-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
I need to get my dash out....... really cant be bothered removing the cage tho, think i may just chop the dash up........... any recomendations people? its a safety devices cage.

Thanks mate. I took two weeks holiday to do the work among other things.
It never stops tho, just purchased an uprated bosch fuel pump from simply-automotive to go on and then the fun of jetting the carb using the afr meter begins.

Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
:) its not so bad doing the 2nd stage, not alot u can do really, 1.2 1.3 1.4 my air corrector wouldnt come out without some brutality so i just left it lol
-
Re: Work needed before Renault Turbo Festival?
Something that amazed me as a first time afr gauge user is how we all think the standard carb will fuel for 1bar on a standard engine. Im running 10psi for now with air filter/exhaust/hybrid turbo and im lean at wot in 3rd/4th (13.6/13.8) i would hate to put an afr meter on a standard car with average mileage.
