Here is my humble project. Renault 5 GT Turbo from the beginning was with the 1.4 turbo engine 115 hp. This is the car how it looks in the begining.

For 300 miles two times i change the big and shell bearings. And i decide to change the engine. So here are the pic's of the swap. The engine is from volvo 480 1.7turbo.

some more
The new engine is done only 63k miles and it's on good condition. So i start to put all parts together.
more of the work what i've done
It was time to put the radiator and the loom and to start the engine. The radiator is from vw mk2 or mk3 and the fan it's from vauxhall. Because the vw fan it didn't fit just not space. And here is the video from the firts start
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHJWyh7ZXWQ.
The reason why the engine it didn't work normaly is the injectors didn't have minus. So i put cable and now i have the minus but the injectors was working on 100% so a lot of fuel and it was more than enough. I was thinking that the ecu didn't give minus but after that some of my friends told me that the ecu give the plus on signals. But the problem come from this that i change the cables which conect the injectors to the loom. I can't find from volvo 1.7t so i bought from r19 full injection. And they are on the other side the 19 it's from the gear box and the 1.7t it's from the timing belt . So the cables wasn't on the same line. So i cut them but i din't conect them corect. So this was the reason why i don't have minus on my injectors. But i find out this when i bought my second ecu's and loom. I just check what signals come to the injectors. I was amazed on two of the injectors i've got two "+" and the other two 2 minus. So i conect the cables in different way. And this time the engine start but after that turn off. I was thinking damm now what is wrong. So i start to unplug the sensors which are on the head. When i unplug the sensor which is on the right side of the detonation sensor. And the engine start to work but turn off when the engine is at normal temp. But i was happy that the engine start.
Hello every one, so when i start the engine i go for a drive and it was good fun. I drove 250 miles on even low pressure than the std. So when i rich 250 miles i put the pressure to be at the std pressure and the car was nice. But it wasn't this what it need to be because the intercooler from the 1.4t was broken so i drove with this intercooler. After that i take off the intercooler and i put it with out. It was better but the air it was warm. And i start to work with the bumpers

more work
Next step will be to respray the whole car. Also i set up the oil cooiling. After that i start to polish my steering wheel.
more pics
them bumper are going to be very difficult to repair mate, with regards to where the cracks are etc.. id personally buy another pair of bumpers and go from there bud, by the time your spent lots in sand paper and filler plus the fact it will quite possibly crack again it would be the best option i think.
Kind Regards
interesting position of expansion tank, looks like it came from the factory like that. always wondered what the two blanked holes in the bulkhead were for. also note this guy has filled and smoothed the ph1 underlight trims
Hello again some more work i've done.
The plan with the car to be re-sprayed but it will be next year when i go in Bulgaria. Also to fit different intercooler, can somebody give mi advise which one it will be the best. I will buy 440cc injectors, walbro 255l/h fuel pump, garrett t3 or turbo from mitsubishi evo, also i will put mega squirt. The idea is arround 250 bhp.
Please give me advise
Thanks a lot
Nice work Yosif.
You need to change the standard cam to acheive some hp figures nearer to the 250 that you want. The standard cam is very restrictive. for intercoolers most on ebay will work just need to get them to fit. The most popular one for a short pipe run is used by fellow members schwartz and philg, have a look at their project threads for some ideas.
Thank you very much mate. Which cam do you think it will be good for my project
Custom cam maybe needed for 250hp as the n/a 2.0 Volvo cam is supposed to be at it's breathing limit at 230hp. Member Dave r5 has acheived 233hp at 18 psi using this cam. Also need the larger 2.0 throttle. If you go down the custom cam route the standard cam can be ground to a piper 279 ( I think?) philg has had this done, expensive though as you need to have shims made up at the same time too. Is a 279 piper cam profile better than the n/a 2.0 volvo "e" cam? I don't know! Larger high impendance injectors will be needed, as well as fuel pump and custom downpipe. Fellow member scoff can take away the ecu boost limit, so you could use the standard ecu and boost module, thus saving money on the megasquirt. All these options Depend on your budget.

Hello again
the megasquirt it cost me only £100. I will fit it by my self and to make the whole settings, or to make the megasqurt to work perfect will cost me £150. So it's not to bad.
I don't want to drive with the std electronic.
What do you think to take cam from r19 107 bhp. I think this is better than this what you told me but will see what hp i will have with the r19 cam.
Maybe, we shall have to wait and see.
Are you mapping it yourself then?
Yes and with one of my friends in Bulgaria
Give the R19 cam a try, don't think anyone has really tried it so its hard to say how well it would work.
If you could get the spec of it it may help in determining how well it'll work.
Hello every one, I have one question about garrett t3 stage 3. Can you give me some advise to buy it or not. Please help me
Thanks Joseph
It's very important to have somebody to help you
Today my blow off arrive, thanks to REGGY5GT
looking good mate

faster than a e cam, we will find out next year ya puff
Sorry for long time i didn't post in here. So just to say till what is my project. I bought Avo front coilovers in very good condition, bought them from a guy here from Rtoc.
Here are the pics of the suspension and before to fit it and after
Before
And after
After that i bought from one of my mates he's old intercooler which need to be fit
When i was driving the car the air flow meter get wet and some how i lost the top of the air flow meter and got wet. So the car was running very bad. And with mixture with the wrong temp. sensor the car start over flow with fuel and from the exhaust start to come fireAnd start bang a lot. So i change the air flom meter but the ruber pipe some how get snaped. So to the time when the engine i try to found whats wrong which eventually i found. So long story short the turbo brake down, because of the bangs. It was so loud that your windows can fell down
So here is the result
This is the std T2
This week i will buy td04 from subaro, and 300lph fuel pump.
Now the plane is to buy parts for betweem 200 and 250 bhp. The td04 it's not the best option but this is what i will use in the beginning.
I planed to do the paint job this summer so maybe in 2 monts will paint the car, because now it's in very bad condition as you can see.
And i want to say thank you very much to Markey Mark and to Scoff, for all the patience and for all the advise what they gave me. Thanks guys
Will keep you posted when i have something new
Cheers for now
Hello again
so here is my new toy
Now i'm waiting for the front clear indicators, and to buy 305L fuel pump
Nice project - hope this goes well for you.
Thanks Andy
and now it's time for more updates
The front clear indicatros arrived today. Big thanks to Big Foot
Next week more updates
Well i think it's time for update
And i bought new 259mm discs for the front brakes
In one or two weeks will be fninish with this manifold.
And it was time to paint the car from out side
And i think it's time to show the car during the work
In the beginning
Just a bit after the beginning
In the middle
Now
Soon will update again
I spy picture of my manifold there, you going to copy design of it then?
Yes
i hope it's not a problem ??
The new manifold is ready. Well it's not the nicest but will do the work.
I bought mega squirt, boost controler, start panel.
So i hope this week to wire the MS
Where are you based? Doesn't look like Manchester!
Yep it doesn't look like Manchester at all
I'm from Bulgaria but i was in Manchester for a year. And now i'm back to work on the car.
I really like this project, keep going
I really like this project, keep going
Thanks mate
Some update from today
Soon will have more update
pics dont work buddy
No idea mate i can see them.
Guys can you see the pics ?
Yep, the connection in the Netherlands is good
I see all the pics
New update from the last hour
Today I fit the Mega Squirt with new wiring. Just need to finish the down pipe and to put back the intercooler with the boost hoses and pipes, and the water radiator + hoses.
In the next few days will start mapping
This is the first start with the Mega Squirt
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crWMw...ature=youtu.be
So happy
Good work fella - I know that feeling.
Project looks ace matey you will love the low down power and spool of the b18ft. How easy was the megasquirt to fit matey? What sensors etc... Did you need for it?
Thanks mate
It's not hard to fit the mega squirt, you need, ignition coil the original one from b18ft, tps, injectors, and temp. sensor the one on the right side of the detonation sensor.
The whole wiring for the Ms is around 15 cables and 2 relays one for the fuel pump and one for the injectors just need to double check this. You need also + from the contact key. If you want i can make scheme of the whole wiring and can send you pm with everything what you need for the Megasquirt.
Today the boost pipes and the water pipes all in place
It's not the nicest engine bay but for now it will be like this. I hope in a few months time to respray th engine bay.
Also need to buy slim vent for the radiator because there is not much space.
Finaly start with the down pipe
The first pic is before to fit the wheel spacers
And the pics of the first part of the down pipe.
Soon will add more pics.
That would be ace if you could matey.Thanks mate
