Hi does anyone know what a aei RE232 is from as my prima racing 1.7 turbo five has one fitted and i know that isnt what a standard gt turbo runs.Just wondering if this would cause problems when the car is done and running again.
Thanks for any help

RE232 was fitted to the n.a 1.7 TXE R9 & R11, and also to the R21 with the F2N/R engine.

As Russ said, it would have a more advanced ignition curve, and not ideal for turbo applications.

(Just so you know Johnson, I'm not taking the mickey out of you, it's just that Mart has been absolutely confounded in recent years by members asking questions and completely ignoring him despite the fact he's one of the most knowledgeable here).

Its the classic Prima 1.7 conversion using the standard Renault GTX (F2N), fitted a tubular manifold and turbo, mod inlet to accept carb and then fit it in the car. :sad2:

After looking at Lukes car with him it looks like they have done minimal to get it running hence the use of the standard renix unit from the donor car.

Na i understand what you mean mate i have people that ask me stuff then ignor what i tell them.I know mart knows his stuff and Russ b is a good mate of mine and knows what hes talking about.

Ive had markey mark look at it and he said use a 209 on there aswell so thats three people who know there stuff telling me to get a 209. Think id be a d**k not to take there advice.
