intercooler fit
new car pics,but still with few problems :cry: it seems that i can't enjoy my car at all and at this moment im very very disappointed.I really think to sell the car or parts of it :confused:
Whats wrong with the car mate, what are the faults?
Where are you writing from? I have seen AR in your licens plate. It is Arad if I'm right.
What is the problem with your car?
hello guys.Yeah Jimmy is Arad at the border with Hungary :)
The problem is overheatig,again,even that i put a very big radiator and i was hopeing i will not have this problem again.No i really think that the headgasket is gone.Is the only problem that i think it can be.The problem is that here we have very poor mechanics that have no ideea about old turbo cars how to setup,so all i do to the car is made be me and friend with fuego.
I wish to have good mechanics and go resolve the problems not trying to guess what can be the problem
100kms from Szeged. A bit more from Budapest where I'm working.
The best is when you can solve the problems with the help of RTOC. I only had troubles with mechanics.
have you blead all the air from the cooling system?
it can take several atempts to get all the air out
try that and dont dispair theres enough information on here to get you going;)
Yes,i've done that,but no succes.
Have you got the thermostat in place?? If so have you tested it for operation??
Is the fan kicking in??
I think while you are wondering about the Renault 5, you should post up a lot of pics of that Fuego you have there, it looks ace! :)
:):):) yes mate is very nice fuego,i can say is the second best fuego in the world ;)
Here are pics of that Fuego project n

Ok,so i resolve today the problem with overheating.It seems that water pump was the problem.I drive today for few minutes and seems ok.Now i have a another problem.
The car run without fuel when go hard.I have the fuel pump in the engine bay and know that in gtt is at the back,near fuel tank.Can be this a problem???I change the fuel piplines with bigger ones,i try with a different carb and same like before.From what i heard,r5 gtt has a different fuel tank from campus.i don't know how you name it,but keep the fuel in tank and not moving when you go hard.Therefore he say to put more fuel,this might be the problem.
If some one from here has made the conversion from campus to gtt,please tell me what you change and what you think that could be the problem.Tnks
Your fuel pump is the problem andy. This is why you have burnt out 3 fuel pumps. Needs to be located in the same position as the gtt and the campus 1.4, under the drivers side of the car near the fuel tank. :agree::)Quote:

i was with the car at a drag race.Best time ever for a R5 1.4 turbo,with a pressure of 1.4 bar,a modified exhaust(a direct pipe from turbo to the front wheel) re jetted carb,toyo r888 tires.....................23sec/400m :D:D:D:D:D
So please change the leader bord time :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
new pics
400m (pretty much 1/4 mile) in 23sec's. what went wrong mate?Quote:

Question:how can i make negative camber :)?????????
1.4bar is alot of pressure for a T2, if you want to run that boost you deffinately want bigger turbo or compressor side then T2.Quote:

yeah i now,but was a low buget race prepering.I want to buy a t28,cams,do work to cylinder head,lightend flywheel,rejeted carb and see then what will be the time
The car is most for drag,but not only.I will drive her on public roads when i want a littel fun.
I think you should try and make a heatshield of some sort to keep the heat away from your brake servo/ brake fluid resevoir. you'll end up boiling your fluid.
What track did you run on?
If your mainly drag racing it you don't want more negative camber, if anything you want to get it as close to 0deg camber without making it feel to undrivable on the road
small update........
Hy,guy.After a lot of struggling with PayPal,i finally manage to renew my membership.I did that mostly because i start the work to r5 again and off course i need RTOC to resolve issues.
Soooooo.......long time now see,here we go....I manage to make the 5 run pretty good,resolve a lot of stupid problems.Discover that my car didnt pull well because of regulator,something that i told to my friend to change and he didnt want "cause its like new",resolve overheating problem (not properly aired) and after all this littel issue i finally start to drive the car and finally enjoy the car.

Winter came,put the car i garage and "forgot her" for all most a year.Sold the wheels,seats and didnt have a lot o interest in her anymore.But of corse nostalgia hit me and open the garage to see her again
Attachment 30228Attachment 30229
First start after a year.Incredible,started from first key (thats my girl making that strange happy noise)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obcy...ature=youtu.be
and a my friend taking her off from garage
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ssu...ature=youtu.be
So we took it out with the intention to drive the car again.Took the car at my friend house to put new wheels on,clean the carb,etc.And the "forgot" again about her
Winter came again,car was "abandoned" to my friend house.One evening i got a call from him
"Hy,I find a mint R5 from an old neighbor,only problem.....it's 1.4 Automatic"
"Wow,nice,who cares about automatic gearbox,will change the engine anyway,How much??"
"500 euros negotiable"
"Super,let's see the car"
2h later i came back with a mint R5 1.4 Automatic with only 75k on bord with 400 euros.
Attachment 30230Attachment 30231Attachment 30232Attachment 30233Attachment 30234
Fall in love with her.Always wanted a complet interior (not like campus) ,big dash,full door cards,butterfly windows,it was the perfect r5 i always wanted and the prices was a barging
Even more after a few months i find some one how wanted the gear and engine,sold them with 400euros and practically the car was free.
The idea was to move the engine from the red one in this one and have a nice r5 with a bit of power.
So at the first ray of sun,moved the car to my friend house to start working on them.Here they are the red and white
Attachment 30235Attachment 30236
And because im the person that change his mind very often,i was thinking to keep both,red one light with gtt engine for race,local rally,etc and the white one with a F7P or F7R ,reliable without fear that something breaks down.So i start polishing the wheels for the red one
Attachment 30237Attachment 30238Attachment 30239
And here ends again.Sold the wheels to a m8 and the car was left over again
2013...One more year gone,summer came again and i started with fresh powers to finally complet one car.I decide to move engine/gearbox on the white one
Attachment 30240Attachment 30241Attachment 30242Attachment 30243Attachment 30244
And thats all for the next 2yr.I mean till now :)
Maybe you ask way i left the car over so many times.Things are pretty simple.I never know to much about mechanics and i had to beg for help every time.Meanwhile i worked as a mechanic and started to know a few things about cars and now i can work to may car alone when nobody can help :D:D
Forward to 2016,my friend finally built a garage and now we got a nice place to work without waiting for heat to come.This time I work on my car ;) and this time i will finish her
and build her like it should.

Great thread revival! Welcome back:agree::D
Tnks guys :) .Yeah hope now things will move faster.Got one dilema:Where dose the red wire from alternator goes?Starter??And the batery plus on starter to??Realy dont remeber :confused:
And does any one know what angle i need silicone hose to be so that i can remove Carburettor top lobster???
Answers your wiring questions: https://www.rtoc.org/files/Technical%...RAL%20FEED.JPG
When people use silicone hoses directly on top of the carb it's at least 90 degrees afaik.
