another laugh for peeps, cheered me up no end

[paul b]

somco hoses worth £500 alone

[Kraig]

Ahh wait though, it might not be 260bhp, i may only be 259 !!!

[Maka]

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

loads of other stuff!!!

and its got a flamer

fOOkin magical that car

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

Hold on, its has a group a carb and............a bailey dump valve...it may well bebrickwall

[Blitz]

Think its back!

not bad gettin 259 or 260 bhp from them mods..... ive practicaly got them mods minus the flamer kit!!!! lol! im somehow down about 100 bhp if that the case i could believe 259 with them mods but no way 260 gee gees. lol! dreamer.

[richi]

this is my car forsale and it genuinly is running 260bhp,

i had the 5 on a dyno with a big fan blowing cold DENSER air into the air filter. i also had the boost set to 21psi, also if you new ANYTHING about flamer kits you would know that the main reason tunners fit these to turbo cars is that if you have them running at the same time as boosting they created a better flow by igniting the un-burnt fuel creating much greater back pressure thus spinning the turbo at a much greater rpm
also with the group A carb i was able to get the fuelling spot on due to the larger venturi, i also feel there is the potential for greater power gains from the turbo as it has been anadised allowing the turbo to be run at around 27psi via the in-car boost control, i would not advise this much boost though as my car does not have forged conrods.
i dont understand what the problem is as i have seen 5 turbos running at 300bhp which is more than capable from the c1g engines which these cars have.

[car.crash]

thats class.

so your the guy that was advertising pictures of ash's rear engine for sale.

[Bigfoot]

Please post dyno sheet and we will all keep quite until somebody posts something about terminal speeds.

[richi]

i lost the dyno sheet after i had the RR done, what have terminal speeds got to do with it???????

[car.crash]

what colour should i anodise my turbo to hit over 30 psi?

how convenient. Everyone who claims big power looses their sheets. Sorry no offence, but we have all been around renault 5s to know what sort of power they will be running. And 260 is an extreme amount to claim. Seeming that there is only a handful actually running that amount and they have had time and experience to get there. Your eBay add just adds to the fact you dont know even what the engine consists of. If you had 260bhp you would be stating the full break down of that car. All you have stated to actually help increase power is the intercooler, and bleed valve. so on that note with the over fueling group A carb you will be running around 180-190 if your only running 21psi.

[richi]

anodise is the bearing inside the turbo, meaning mine has the 360 fitted which would alow much greater psi to be run

yes but with the copper core rad this gives far better temps increasing bhp, also with the flammer kit running causing back pressure this also adds greater bhp figures
along with the samco boost pipes whic compress far less than o.e pipes and the extra discharge the dump valve creates once again adds to much greater bhp.

260 is an exceptable figure to be gained from the c1g engine.

[car.crash]

your not as dumb as you make out . this is clearly a windup.

[Mart]

This has got all the potential of becoming 'rtoc thread of the year', unless someone is on a wind-up...

[richi]

why is this dumb? all i wanted to do was post my car up foresale in the classified section and on ebay, then i stumble across a thread about my car, all i am trying to do is defend myself. i will have another look for the dyno sheet though

[Alex]

This is a windup!

[samb5]

ha ha brilliant

[stuTHC]

It's the c1g that did it for me

[richi]

i dont understand what is so funny about the facts i have made. i have lots of experience with 5 turbos, i have also been a member of rtoc for a while and used lots of your input to build this car to its full potentil, but as i am going for a o.e look i just require a standard looking car.....if anyone is interested with a swap please pm me

[richi]

It's the c1g that did it for me

yes i put a new brand new block from renault in

[Mart]

Probably because it's about as factual as a Mills & Boon novel...

[car.crash]

ok ok richi prove it by putting up the item number of the engine i bought off ya but wouldnt pay for as it wasnt yours to sell

[Andrew Cooke]

it's like taking a years subscription to Maxpower and the K-Tec catalogue, running the lot through a blender and making a delicious smoothy from the pulp

[samb5]

the c1g engine not the c1j people.. this is the rare one that comes with mega valves an super boost turbo lol

[richi]

ok ok richi prove it by putting up the item number of the engine i bought off ya but wouldnt pay for as it wasnt yours to sell

im not sure what you are talking about mate, i take it you are refering to my ebay account as i have never sold a engine on rtoc?
but my brother also uses my ebay account so i cant be responsible for his actions

[car.crash]

windup

[Andrew Cooke]

the c1g engine not the c1j people.. this is the rare one that comes with mega valves an super boost turbo lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Renault_engines

so that's the small bore 1237cc version then.

[richi]

the c1g engine not the c1j people.. this is the rare one that comes with mega valves an super boost turbo lol

no the c1j engine is fitted to the renault 5 turbo ph 1/2

the c1g was fitted to the turbo 2 which has far better conrods and apr bolts fitted allowing far greater flow. i wasnt aware that the engine had different valves, also the boost would be no diffeerent as this is dependent on what i set it as using the incar boost control

[soapymech]

yum chocolate pistons

[samb5]

please dont think i was being serious with mega valves an super boost turbo... honesly

[richi]

no i was going to have the low comp pistons fitted these would not be required as i am only running 21psi, anything over would require them

[Andrew Cooke]

it gets better

[Scoff]

[Tiny Tim]

I want your car.

[OUTLAW]

i have the same mods apart from your blue anodised turbo,....and i am only putting out 155bhp...all my parts are brand new and not a year old or so. i`ve been in this game for nearly 20 years....260bhp from your 1.4 engine mate? easily achived if you turn up your bigger turbo. No mention of any new pistons, liners, cam, crank etc. ITS ONLY GOING TO LAST ABOUT 2 HOURS, THEN IT WILL BREAK DOWN! BLOW UP!....ANYONE CONSIDERING THIS MOTOR SHOULD ALSO ASK FOR RECIPTS FOR ALL ENGINE WORK CARRIED OUT, (internals etc)....i would also like to mention that roland at gt tunning quoted me nearly 3k to carry out minor work...RIP OFF. i did it my-self with the help of cbg motorsport and saved 3k. roland said its essential to have his in car boost adjuster at a cost of £249.99 with £30 fitting...or he will not guarantee his work! £3k? IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR THIS PART, AND DON`T LET GT TUNING TELL YOU OTHER WISE! it can also be purchased on ebay for £14.99.

[Bigfoot]

it can also be purchased on ebay for £14.99.

Or not purchased at all, as you can only fuel for a certain amount of PSI

[raj]

are you saying your using the smaller bore C1G: 1237cc block.??

im failing to understand where you got that bhp figure from! unless the rolling road is a load of cobblers hence producing inacurate results [wheelspin causes inacurate results]

the only way your going to get anyone believe you is that you produce some HARD eveidence.
if you knew something, one of the most acurate ways to calculate power figures is in real time ie, standing 1/4mile.


and mate. come on!!! anodising a turbo equals more power?? WTF are you on? seriously?

seems like youve been really misguided.! and to be honest it cant be through anyone with knowledge on this club.
i came to this club many years ago and knew absolutely nothing, ive now been rebuilding these engines with ease many times over [pics on profile] and this is due to the input of members who know EXACTLY what there talking about.

[OUTLAW]

a car that needs a alternator, and that does not run (read item descreption on ebay) wont even produce 1bhp. how is the buyer suppose to know what he or she is buying?? many people claim all sorts of bhp, they are usually lying, dont trust word of mouth. the proof is in the paperwork. 260bhp!!!with hoses, carb and blue turbo etc? i dont think so, and if it has a valid print out, i doubt it, the car will last about 2 hours

[mad manz]

im running 120 psi at my tyres lol not including me spare lol

[D4WNO]

Are you sure the dyno didn't read 26.0?

[Mudslinger]

this is a pick me up thread this , dull boring tues at work ,log in and read this ,my sides are still splitting

lol @ anodised turbo

this has got to be a wind up ?

[James5]

This has seriously got to be a piss take

[richi]

thought someone would have looked at my profile pic lol

[Tiny Tim]

So how much did this little joke cost you in ebay fees then?

[richi]

no the car is really forsale lol

[richi]

but it sure as hell aint mine
