Handy Andy has asked me to start a new project thread for him and post up the pics so far of his latest project and when I say its nuts, I'm mean its totally insane:D

Right lets start with the basics which Andy well correct if I get anything wrong.

The car is based on a 1989 campus he bought off ebay which had a twin campus engine conversion using a R11 turbo subframe in the back. Both those campus engines have gone and a 1.8ltr 16v clio valver engine has found its way into the back but with a few tweaks :D

The basic plan is is a wide bodied kit with extended bumpers and shed loads of power form the arse end.

This is the modded rear bumper extended and the slats cut out to alow airflow

The modded boot lid with plenty of metal cut out again to let air out
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0803/os8472/HA%20RWD%20Project/project5gtt013.jpg

The front subframe with a sump guard and lots of welding and bracing to help stiffen it up

This is a one way ticket to burger king heaven Mr Andy.

But Smeg - It's looking like a really good quality build fella - it's come a long way since I saw it last. Keep up the good work.:smokin:

BTW - in response to the 'Yawn it's been done before' comment - That's exactly the type of negative comment that has turned soooooooo many RTOC'ers away over the years. That type of comment should be reserved for saxo forums only. You're of course entiltled to your opinion, but it is not within the mission statement of the club.

Rant over.

16-04-2010, 13:14
I dunno, I would imagine this car will have more power, more response and a hell of a lot less weight.

So. Not much competition in a straight line lol
but in the twisties is different.

I would think this will weigh 850-900 kgs, mines 1050
and this has gotta do 500-550bhp mines only 400 at the mo.

Will b nice to see and compare.

c7borg
16-04-2010, 13:34
absolutely awesome.. but i woulds say that :D

I can't wait to see this on the road.. it'll be a real handful through those rear wheels.. I struggle with just 180 ponies! although I'll be developing the rear hubs and arms this years so I maybe able to help you a little if they work out :agree:

As it stands mine does seem to handle asymetrically.. especially with me and the engine sitting on the same side - having a pasenger evens things out a bit.. although, I bet the renault 11 wider track will help.

HAndy
16-04-2010, 21:26
skeete wide arches now fitted , and side vents cut out and ducts fitted,will get some pics up (cough cough )os8427;)

if it makes 400bhp that will be more than enough for me:) dont think gearbox will last long at that level :cry:

andy and stu cant wait to meet up :smokin: the beast should be completed hopefully for end of july:cooter:

18-04-2010, 21:27
cant wait to see this complete. that engine setup looks superb:agree:
ive always had a soft spot for wide arched 5's especially the Maxi turbo:devil:

now when i first read the thread title i nearly shat myself, if there has been one thing ive wanted to do its to intergrate a maxi widearch bodykit onto a gtt's body.:devil:

new ford fiesta has a subtle OE purple colour....

(just checked- its called Morello - a dark metallic cherry colour)

c7borg
21-04-2010, 07:36
Check out the audi tt denim blue.. it would be my choice followed by s3 blue (a bit louder) or bmw estoril blue from the m3 I had fiesta painted in that and looked real nice.. or there's always old faithful... Raider blue :) ..either colour and i bet the result will be stunning!

Because of the reg' number ;)

That car is used a lot at Slowly Sideways demonstrations, and is owned by a guy who lives up near Blot. I believe the car actually started out in life as a TDC.

Plus, I'm sure I read once that out of the 8 original Maxi's that remain, only one of them is in this country, and that's one of DIAC sponsored cars (not to be confused with the replica that's also in the DIAC colours).

I've no idea on that one. It's definitely a Maxi kit, which JP specialises in fitting to non-Maxi's. They must be the gayest wheels I've ever seen though :crap:

That colour scheme is what Carlos Sainz' Maxi wore, and that car's now owned by Renault. I know there are several replicas in that colour scheme.

I'm trying to think where the original Maxi's are. Renault built 20 (to homologate them). They broke 10 immediately (for spares). Two were written off.

Four are owned by Renault.
One sold in Monaco a couple of years back.
One sold in France last year, on carclassic.com.
There's the one I mentioned in my previous post, in the UK (I think it's owned by DV8Motorsport).

That leaves 1 :scratch:

I could very well be, and probably am, wrong, as I haven't really followed anything to do with the Turbo 2's/Maxi's etc for a couple of years. Where's Moggy when you need him? ;)

Is it doing anything, or is it hidden away in a corner, under a pile of whatever? Do you reckon I could swap it for a gtt coupe? :D

It's not done anything whilst I've been looking, but it may well be heavily into the dogging scene when my back's turned.

The welding should be done by august.

2011 if track records are to be considered.

Pleanty of room in the car - until you get in then there's a bit of a squeeze.

re 9's guys, not wishing to sound pesimistic but it takes about 145mph trap even with RWD to pass at 9.9. 145mph will take 550hp+ and no renault JB/JC gearbox will deal with that at the rear wheels :crap:

Nope, ive seen RWD cars crack 9`s with only 140mph trap, they get out the box well.. But as you say the gearbox wont last to see them times, prob just fail trying to launch the 1.5 60ft needed..

10`s is some doing, 9`s is another game... good luck

Top build tho, awsome work....:agree:

nice work.. can't wait to hear and see it cranked up and rolling!

I have a slightly easier method of installing the engine, I have a little trolley see picture.. I've since modified it slightly with two raised bits that meet the subframe giving clearance for the sump.
With the back of the car jacked up, I wheel the engine into the engine bay.. slide a jack underneath, jack up and drop the four mounting bolts in, this allows me to do the whole job single-handedly.. then plumb up as normal, it's quite useful for unsociable hours when you just feel the need to take the engine out :niceone:

I generally leave the driveshafts, hubs and struts connected although thats down to preference!

could make an alloy plate with duct running out of it ,directly feed into airbox, that way the air would have to be pulled over the wheel arch void :cool: another good idea andy:agree:

yet another set back , sump is now leaking , so the sump will be coming off again :cry::cry::cry: another pain in the arse job!!! seems strange how this only happened since fitting the recirc valve on supercharger boost pipe ,maybe causing to much crankcase pressure:scratch: will swap back over tomorrow and see what happens, and fit thrixo paste this time instead of a melleor sump gasket:crap: the eaton did make a nice whine though when running ...felt good:smokin: started to pull @2.5 andwas going nicely by 3k, bearing in mind the ignition and fueling need tweeking to really get the beast to sing:cooter: did sound a lot quieter with the recirc dump valve and engine covers in place ,rather than hissing every time u touched and let of the throttle,maybe that recirc can't handle the amount of air being released back into the turbine housing:confused: think the locals will grow to hate me judging by the look on most peoples faces as we mapped the car in the estate today :tuttut::innocent::innocent: hahhaa:devil: with da boosst init!!!:laugh:

No problem bud, i'll go over the map and use the loadsites that we got spot on as a reference and try to exstrapolate ruffly what the rest should be.

Throttle response was defo better with the atmosferic dv compared to the recirc, when thats on i'm sure it'll make all the mapping done saturday defunced if the dv makes a difference but hey its somit never tried on a valver engine before, there's gunna be set backs

Here Here Oli - Spoke to Andy today, he was a bit down, but after talking to him for a bit his chin came back up and he's back on track now. You've gotta expect a few blips along the way which he has accepted now. There will be some pretty radical stuff wrong in the ECU and sealing the sump is no biggy, I think you're right to take out the tricky stuff and concentrate on getting the basics right first ie recircing dump valves etc. I think he's done amazing considering how quicky this has come together.

Thing is mate there shouldn't have been anything wrong with the ecu, Andy paid for a brand new unit, but Nigel stuck his nose in AGAIN and gave Andy what looked like to me a second hand unit as it had a map for a pug 306 with an S16 engine on throttle bodies and half the settings had been changed, for example the map sensor had been switched off, that would be the case on the pug engine as that uses a MAF not a MAP.

I believe it failed on brakes and emissions...

It failed on rear brakes as there was kink in the line to the rear and emissions as for some reason when I mapped the load site it sat in at idle the second you did anything to the throttle it would run either mega rich or lean, made no sense, Dave had it at Emerald and diagnosed a duff TPS, a new 1 fitted and the car now has a decent base map to run in on.

The oil leak turned out to be the supercharger and not the sump and I believe Andy has got the rear line sorted so its just awaiting a retest:D

been busy at it again ,since finding the oil leak(supercharger pulley wheel/snout housing)i have stripped the above and resealed as it seemed to be lacking any:sad2: which was only showing itself under postive pressure, coating the belts and off side drive shaft in the process :(
also purchased a new alternator (breakers yard find:D)
and having waited 2 1/2 weeks for new supercharger oil to arrive its now back together, i have also changed the crank pulley size , due to the fact that when being set up on the rolling road the eaton m65 only seemed to produce 4.5 psi (4500rpm)which i thought was lacking somewhat ,so i have changed from a 95mm to a 130mm diameter (1.3 ratio to 1.8 ratio which should help although i cant be sure ,so only a rough psi output as there seems to be very little information on flow rates for an eaton m65, so it could make around 7 psi (735cc ) or a possible 14 psi (1016cc) these are the only figures i could find being bounced around different forums using a google search.( if anybody knows for sure plese let me know :sos::sos::sos: ) so wont know 100% untill its up and running again:scared:
with the 130mm crank pulley and bigger trigger wheel, i had to change the metal water pump pulley to a smaller plastic item (both items came of a tdi scenic )and fabricated a new pick up sensor bracket which bolts to the sump ,
still got to fit new braided -4 brake pipe which i suspect has a kink in the teflon section and double check brake bias valve and test rear brakes again then ready for re test:D

computers are not my thing so will have to wait until os84721 comes around again for more piccys:laugh::laugh:

very tight fit to get mine in (more luck than judgement) had to fit a 10mm packer on the drivers side engine mount by 12mm ( which gave me 10mm clearance between bulk head/ cross beam and supercharger) and fabricate a one off near side mount ,also the cross beam was also cut out re fabricated and extened 45mm towards front of car , then used redundant m10/1.5 bolt holes on the front of block to fix my supercharger mount to, and gtx alternator bracket which tensions the alternator /belt, that said eaton m45 is more adaptable than the m65 with its one piece inlet/exhaust casting (pain to work with) and your inlet manifold is much tighter to the block ,so could work quite well on yours , maybe swap positions with the alternator and have the eaton on top, level with the head,would give you better access to it , and keep the heat away , have a look on u tube for some ideas also ,just a thought :innocent:

HAndy
17-09-2010, 16:55
been told to also change supercharger oil every 3500 miles if running more than 6 psi as they tend to contaminate/sliver the oil very quickly if used hard (2 cogs in the pulley housing) :scratch:, will be doing mine with a syringe and 8mm pipe (suck it out) save time hassle:)

brakes also a little bit under powered at front ,does'nt really inspire much confidence at higher speed braking , no servo being the main reason :ashamed: although it did feel quite balanced between front and back , never mind im sure the wilwood four pots coming next week will sort them out:laugh:

with my old RWD andy I ended up with 0 deg camber at the front and whatever factory standard GTT front camber is at the rear. I also stiffened the standard anti-roll bar at the rear somewhat. I played about with tracking too. A few degrees toe-in at the rear made it feel a lot more stable. Hopefully your tie rods at the rear will be pretty parrallel with the floor too. I used to suffer with bump steer with the standard rack angles until I sorted that out.

In the end the car was pretty well balanced, to me anyway. You could throw it into corners and you'd get a hint of understeer before the back started to get loose. It was quite controllable in the dry. Totally different matter in the wet. You will need to be SO carefull it's untrue. I could spin 180° at 30mph on a roundabout in the rain on new yoko A539's I think they were. Take every corner super carfull once its damp. I even lost it in a straight line once. damp road, lit the rear wheels up at 60mph and ended up heading down the carriageway at 45° for a moment. thankfully by that point I was getting used to RWD so it didn't phase me much. I think if I had of done that early on I'd have stacked it :D

Depending on what you do with the rack you could create some rear wheel steering. would take some clever geometry thinking, if your rack was above level with the track rod ends and ahead of the rear wheels this should toe out as the wheel moves up when weight is transfered to the outside wheel also going lighter on the inside wheel would have the opposite effect and toe in. but as said on bumps would prob create bumpsteer. something to look in to tho, theres a good read on competition geometry, good for learning basics, competition car suspension a practical handbook fourth edition allan staniforth.

After losing a copy of my favourite book chassis engineering I recently bought that book and found it a bit wordy.. maybe I should have read it again but I found chassis engineering gets more to the point so I've just bought a second copy.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chassis-Engineering-Cars-Herb-Adams/dp/1557880557 If you fancy the alan stanforths book let me know and I'll let you have it cheaper than you can find anywhere else ;)

As for the bump steer I eliminated mine by fixing the rear hubs.. quite a bit of work and my plan is to re-do them basically a copy of the rear end of a mojo a kit car which pretty much resembles what we are trying to do.. whilst I'm at it I will try to move the engine & box 100mm to equal the weight out as with me sat in it it's quite one sided although you are in a better position as you have a wider rear track to start with.. mines still std r5 gttt. Here's a link to a site that the owner of the mojo talks about his issues with setup (and he designs suspension) http://www.everettmail.co.uk/mods/mods_sus_align.htm.
Another thing I've found with mine is I need to lower it to keep the center of gravity down and in turn this means I'm running out of travel on the shocks so I may have to go stiffer with the springs (fortunatly they're 2 1/4 coilovers but it still costs when you buy a set at £30 only to find out they're too soft.. maybe I should read that book again :) )
If I make any progress I'll let you know.. I'm planing on doing a full seasons hillclimbing next year so hopefully by the end of the year I should have something that handles :) that said it's still a huge amount of fun.. and I will second what scoff says in the wet take it easy :agree::agree:

Here's a couple of pics of a mojo and you'll see how much of the back end could be incorporated into the five..

We've got a v6 coming in, in a week or so, ill try get a few measurements together, see how renault have overcome bumpsteer :D (Cheers for recommending chassis engineering, just purchased a copy :D stanforths was a lil wordy. Difficult to find anyone willing to give anything away, i liked his cheap methods of measuring certain conditions)

yeah the string computer :)

I'll be interested to see.. also how central the engine is and how they balance the weight when you have to bolt a gearbox on one side.. I can't help thinking left hand drive would have been the easy option for distributing weight evenly..

I thought that with the twingo, esp with that big heavy engine, but guess what, without me in in it's perfectly balanced left to right, I get in a feck it all up :D

I think for less bump steer the longer the rack end/track rod end the better, the larger the arc the less in/out movement there will be on bump/droop :coffee: With a short track rod end it would have much more movement (toe in/out) Does this make sense to anyone or am i making this up? lol

What an absolutely awesome car. I want it.

RTOC has some seriously bad ass projects these days. :agree:

whilst I'm at it I will try to move the engine & box 100mm to equal the weight out as with me sat in it it's quite one sided although you are in a better position as you have a wider rear track to start with.. mines still std r5 gttt.

you might be surprised how little difference moving the engine makes, work it out on a bit of paper... It's a lot of work to achieve very little.

dont think its going to make a lot of difference anyway in mine, once im in it that is ,must be the burgerking effect:laugh:


been tinkering again , after more google searching last night , it seems like my bypass /pressure relief valve working of a actuator to bypass the supercharger at a set psi is not such a good idea :crap: to many issues /fluctuations it seems according to our cousins in the usa , they either mount a wastegate /poppet valve in its place , or most blow through altogether and dont bother with the bypass at all:(

so im going to feed it constant through the eaton and fit a external waste gate down stream after the charge cooler and recirculate infront of the eaton intake, my only concern is that the intake temp could rocket even with the charge cooler in place, maybe refit my water injection system into the eaton intake to aid cooling , i dont have the room for a second charge cooler :crap:

thoughts anybody:scratch:

on a more positive note , my engine bay looks a lot more open which should allow for better air circulation /cooling :)

have also purchased a remote oil filter system ,which i will fit in the rear near side wing (where the header tank used to live) as trying to get access in its current position between the supercharger is a complete pain:rolleyes:

I know that you never really finish a project, but it's so frustrating to see you being so close to getting it on the road, only to be tripped up at the last 10 hurdles. I admire your commitment and patience.

I'll be back to Renault tomorrow to pick up your paperwork.

HAndy
04-11-2010, 09:25
to be fair;) its not a lot of work . the system in place stays 85%the same just removing the bypass valve and two fabricated alloy bends, like u said to me few months back, its all trial and error:)

been buying more bits for the beast again , new clio valver wishbones and drive shafts with abs rings have turned up ,along with polybush set for valver anti roll bar,:cooter:

my renault scenic/clio abs hubs go into the machine shop tomorrow to have approx 3mm of metal removed from the mounting lug that attaches to the strut, ready for the launch/ traction control config on the ecu,and allow the rear tyres to pull in a bit, as im not happy with the amount of negative camber on the rear wheels:ashamed:and the bigger bearings should cope better with the stresses of running wide 16" rims

boost system is now 99.9 % complete again ,just got to get 25mm alloy pipe welded to supercharger inlet pipe,this will form the recirc system in between gear change and low rpm /idle:) airfiler box repositioned and 102mm duct work now feed into the nearside vent to hopfully give more ramming effect of cold air at higher speeds, oil sandwich plate now on and just waiting for remote filter head to turn up along with the extra pipe work:rolleyes: all going well should be up and running again by the weekend , and new suspension geometry should be in place for the weekend after,all going well:laugh:

what an absolute epic project, just out of interest could a c1j be supercharged and turbo charged well ? just thinking of guys who have t28s etc who dont get boost till 4k +

Perfectly possible just space in the engine bay is tight, if it rear engined yeah no problem

350 -400 if im lucky:devil: all depends on how long the gearbox lasts !!!
but like you said after response more than anything and would settle for 300 bhp if it lasts for a while:)

STILL waiting for remote oil head,and pipe:sad:
should be picking up hubs tomorrow:D and alloy pipe with recirc pipe welded on :)

sent off confirmation of engine size /cc etc paper work to dvla monday, so all going well should get the all clear for christmas, would just like to say a big THANKYOU to TNT ANDY for sorting that out ,i am really grateful Andy you came to my aid there,big time :cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:, and goes to show that there are decent people out there who are willing to help ,where others just want to shaft people,(difference between renault dealerships is just worlds apart)

a side note for anyone who has intentions of swaping an engine , you will need proof of engine size ,cc capcity, engine code, and number from
1- manufacturer
2- engineer (independent or vosa)
both options are not cheap ,unless you know people in the trade;);)
unless you can prove the engine swap was completed before you purchased the car:scratch:

oh, and i purchased a 140mm fan to fix onto the oil cooler(switch operated on dash ) more for track and long hard runs in the hot summer months next year,(if we get any):laugh::laugh:

Just paid £16 for four caliper bolts from my Renault dealer basically a M14 50mm bolt :( not sure there was much they could do on the price I think it was just a ridiculous price to start with.. ah well needs must :agree:

Yep.. I have just about every type of off the shelf bolt in my garage.. I just had to bite the bullet

Hey.. Handy have you been out in the snow in the beast? I was going to take mine to work the other day but I was worried the pipes running under the car would freeze ....lol
