R5 GTTurbo 2

[HAndy]

back on track

exhaust tappets had stuck, loosing most of the compression available on cylinder 2, replaced all hydraulic tappets on engine with the items out of the spare engine, and changed the exhaust cam for a slightly higher lift, while i had the top half of the cylinder head apart

1= 145
2=138
3=146
4=145

so 2 is a little bit down but, happy to leave for the moment, and get it back for mapping once ive sorted out the gearbox breathing issue, and the water leak, which i could not find today

conclusion=
the new tappets i bought, when i rebuilt the engine were not up to the job, and a note to all building a f7 turbo engine, stick with the renault /ina items, if you want trouble free reliability

Don't forget the gearbox could be tilted back more then it does in a vw or audi.

So maybe filling it till the oil comes out of the hole is way too much...
There's suppose to be 2.3l in it.

I hope you get it mapped again soon!

[Tony Walker]

Glad it wasnt too serious nightmare when new parts let you down nothing worse.

[JP Racing]

Good to see you found what it was hope it fixes the problem

very true

i had put 2.8 litres in the gearbox

[HAndy]

looking on the bright side, 330 bhp on 3 cylinders wasnt to bad

Meter the oil in Andy, no more than the book says.

[HAndy]

understood

that was a good figure for three cylinders glad you found the problem with it mate, have you got another date for the next run?

[HAndy]

waiting for a johno to give me some dates, but wont be able to get one before national day

sorry to hear that

[JP Racing]

Andy you live close to johnno why don't you get him over to put a base map on and take it to national day mine only had a base map on last year and it made it

[mattk]

Hey HAndy, managed to get any further?

[HAndy]

the purchase of my house and amount of work involved in getting into a liveable condition has stopped me dead in my tracks for the past 12 weeks and counting

new garge still to go up before I will continue any further

hope to carry on again with the car in feb 2014

Fair enough mate ill start pestering you then lol

[HAndy]

I might even be pestering you for the super production style body kit at this rate

I've still got to work out how I'm gonna go about it, ill worry about that stage when I get to it

[HAndy]

ive been thinking about more engine mods for a while now........., after seeing turbo teds (robs) fantastic results, and others, im going to follow suit, decided to really push the boat out and go extreme on this, my gtx 3071r wont get me to where i want to be its just not big enough without running huge boost levels and will be purchasing either 76mm 11 blade comp wheel, and sticking with the turbine /housing ive already got (the cheaper option) giving me the best spooling/power output for what i already have or going gtx3582r and upgrading cams to a higher lift profile with mechanical lifters, and going for it i know what jp, and oli will be saying, but in reality the car is unlikley to see the road this year, i already have the injectors and cc capacity in place, the rest of the valve train is already uprated, biggest inlet/exhaust valves port matched flowed head, tubular equal length manifold, 3" exhaust system , 02m box and uprated paddle clutch,leaving an upgrade to a bigger wastegate maybe? although if its going to be laggy then might not need to worry to much, im not going to settle for less than 500bhp at the rear wheels, ive spent the money, done the mods, now i want the rewards

thoughts and views are welcome as always
know the gtx3076 will get me to 500bhp and quicker spooling than the gtx3582, but would the rpm spool up differences be worth holding back to a 60mm turbine wheel or going to the 68mm turbine and bigger compressor and go further

[Tutuur]

Go twinscroll mate, you know it makes sense!

No need for solid lifters btw

[Os8472]

As I said on the phone, finish the bodykit modifications and map it up with what you have now, it'll make 450bhp and that'll be plenty enough to get it shifting down the road, 450bhp will give you the same bhp per ton as a Bugatti veyron, it won't be shy fella

[Matt Cole]

Ive just finished my twinscroll manifold serving a borg warner s200sx capable of 600bhp. In reality I would be happy with 400bhp as after going in ashys at 402 its insane for front wheel drive!

[Tutuur]

Twinscroll ftw! Really want to build a s300sx or 8374 on my 5. Will be long before it gets there though...

As Oli said, get this mapped and you'l be able to make 450-500 out of the box. Then join us at ND as i NEED to see this irl

[HAndy]

yeah... hear what your all saying , just chasing the numbers dream again

i need to get back on it ........

[Os8472]

Build a car to drive it, don't keep building it for so long that all the petrol in the world will have run out by the time you finish it

i've still got other issues to sort out, brakes,suspension/tracking, and of course the widening of the kit, and the workshop to build before any of that
