    Which brand of octane boost do you use ted?

    Top work though, awesome numbers can't wait to see it!

    Re: my f7p turbo conversion 2012 upgrades

    looking good, are you running the peloquin diff by any chance

    was going to fit one, but need to get use to the car with an open diff first

    are you running split gears from different boxes or have you stuck with a single type, erf,drw etc.

    was going to get that clutch myself, but was informed that the oxide granules on the friction plate would'nt last more than 4000 miles, they built me a 4+ build, which is basicly the full cerametalic ring with solid centre. figured out cheaper than the stage 3+ also

    used the uprated engine mounts on all corners, on mine and to be honnest it does'nt move one bit(piccys in project thread)

    my only conern is the outer hubs splines shearing of, which will mean fitting bigger hubs etc cant remember if you fitted the 172 items either way great work rob ,bet you cant wait to get it going again, 9,s this year maybe, might need a bigger turbo though

    Andy it's the CVs that fail before the splines. 172 CV's and hubs are much stronger.

    I looked at a few andy, I think most of the newer renault use the same spline and CV as 172 so it was just as easy to use those. Some of the old bigger renaults used the bigger spline too but 172 CV's looked best to me. I had no more trouble after I swapped to those.

    hi andrew the diff im using is a cheap version of the peloquin here's the link
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1609005340...84.m1497.l2648
    scoff has used this diff so i know it worksusing petrol gears in the drw box clutch wise if it only lasts up to 4000miles in that time should do me for 4 years or 4 launches at podrunning 172 hubs already so shafts should be sorted, as for a bigger turbo no but maybe a twin stroll exhaust housing and more boost

    Yes andy its getting there. I've bitten off more than I can chew this winter, there's a lot going on with it. It's away having a national chassis cage done then it's off for paint and wrap while I build a new motor and gearbox.

    Robbie, looking good

    Re: my f7p turbo conversion 2012 upgrades

    Those Obx items seem to do the job good after a debur, replacement of the ****ty springs and correct tightening of the bolts.

    Twin scroll is a good step forward too, although for pod i don't really think it's necessary.

    However you're making good progress! Did the jc5 break in the end?

    jc5 gearbox broke the planetary and sun gear in the diff theres no way of upgrading that pictures below you can see the sun gear twisted off and stuck in the end of the driveshaft.

    Re: my f7p turbo conversion 2012 upgrades

    small update
    engine mounts now done and all mounted on subframe as i didn't want to mount the gearbox on the chassie leg so i made frame over the gearbox and made a new mount position on the back of the subframe.
    doing a power steering conversion aswell managed to fit a clio williams rack its tight but it fits. also mounted the turbo in its new postion and made a new 3'' downpipe, manifold to do next i will leave that one to my fabricator which will be done over the christmas break.
    thats all for now pictures below.

    hi everyone
    the reason for power steering f7 lumps are heavy and now its going to be alot heavier with the vag box and i only have 300mm steering wheel,power steering will be ran off a electric pump so i won't lose any bhp,ollie the manifold is a complete new build and mr reed has bought the old one, new flywheel turned up today complements of scoff of efi parts and my new clutch from the states fits like a glove, fitted a mini master cylinder for my hydro clutch more pics added below robbie.

    holy **** Rob!!!! are you expecting something to twist

    the cast alloy casing will break around the bolt holes before anything else, i thought mine where solid(could shift them with two of us pulling on the engine/subframe

    looking good though, how much does it weigh now? mine was 915kg before

    hi mate
    its the original flange and runners cut off the standard manifold the rest i made by hand alot drilling and filing out the 4 holes on flat plate to match the original runners then 120mm diameter tube cut with a slot to the size of the flat plate welded to flat plate and end caps to match.
