Hello, everyone! Pleasure to join this renault turbo club. Here im having two renault 11 1985, 1.4 C1J non turbo and renault 11 1986 1.4 C1J turbo car. The blue on eis with turbo engine and with very rusty shel which will go to the junk yard and white one is with perfect shell rust free and non turbo engine. Now Im going to swap engines. Have already pulled out the engine from the blue one, now will be rebuilding it, now my goal is to get 200bhp.

ok, for now engine is out, now will be parting it out and giving for block, head cleaning while awaiting for some toys from uk to arrive.

ok, so it has been a long time until my last update. there have been many things done until now. full engine internals rebuilt with new parts and gaskets. new turbo, efi, intake manifold. there left some things to do until first engine start test. expecting up to 200hp with 22psi. have attached some pictures :) any comments or suggestions are welcome.
By the way special thanks during my project for Scoff and michael tierney, without them it wouldnt be possible for me to finish everything :D

What inlet manifold is that?

What inlet manifold is that?


Looks like an Escort RS inlet

[chipis]

yes it is ford rs manifold

[chipis]

the latest update is that everything seems working as planned. Right now doing engine break in for one thousand kilometers after that will be visiting ecu tuner on rollers, expecting to map it for 1.2 - 1.5 bar. Some pics attached and will update first post with modlist later.

hi darius!!good to see ur up and running and managed to get the throttle working!!

[chipis]

yes, everything was fine with that, only throttle spring was to week, so added another one stiffer and it works fluently now with a good feel on acc pedal!

[michael tierney]

is it more responsive than the carb or will u have to get it mapped?

[chipis]

I will have to tune current map which Scoff installed for me, cant tell much regarding engine responsivnes because trying to be more gentle with it during engine break in, i will definately update after it being remapped :)

[Trevhib]

Cool, sleeper :)

Love the gauge cluster :agree: Are they all hooked up?

[TNT ANDY]

Very nice - like that a lot.

ok, so here are charts with 1.2 bar of boost, we tried to increase boost but no any bhp or torque gains appeared, so stayed with 1.2 bar of boost. 185bhp and 245nm

[Tony Walker]

:D very smooth graphs?

[chipis]

quite smooth, but was expecting to break 200bhp line with 1,5 bar of boost in the manifold, i gues i have dialed the camshaft some degrees wrong

[chipis]

would like to ask experts what type and model of spark plugs you would recommend running 1.2-1.5bar of boost? or stock oem spark plugs are good enough to handle such abuse?
