This will be mint when finished, always liked the R19 16v they look sweet as.
you need to buy the engine from me, you will regreat it
Steve, looking forward to seeing this done the 19 you have is a very good base for a sleeper project
Keep us posted with pic's etc.. although I am sure I will see it as it progress's in the flesh. Up for giving you a hand with it matey
Lookin Good - Mr Bling
will that breather filter not mess up the shiney bits!!

Looking good matey, nearly got all the bits now
Pretty sure BBPT had 350bhp+ out of that manifold although it produced a lot of heat so its down to what power you are after.I'll be starting on the wiring in a week or so as I will have the ecu then
End of the month I will have the turbo as well, gone for a 2871 style but journal bearing form, going to try a .64 rear 1st & see how I get on, I think the biggest restriction is going to be the cast manifold really & I can always swap the .64 rear for an .86 if I find the .64 to small.
I'll also be maxing the 500cc injectors out I expect
I should start saving for gearboxes really
I wanna see a piccy of the 19
Looks the intercooler fits perfect, remove those black slats on the bumper and spray the intercooler black, sleeper style love it
i miss my old 19 cabriolet looking at your old pics
When Mart and I did the C1J conversion in the 19 16V Chamade the Megane 225 FMIC we fitted practically fell into place. There's sooo much room
Looks cool Steve, sleeper ahoy
Have you looked if the smaller twin pass like mine fits? Then you wouldn't have a pipe running back on its self.
i looked at a twin pass but all i read on them is how much it kills flow so went with what steve has ive a pic of mine some where when i had to weld a alloy donut on the end as a slicone bed just wasnt tight enough to come back on itself and the pipe work is a master piece under the n/s/f lol
What about this?
EBay item number - 200626803897 (Can't do ebay links from work)
So what turbo did you go for in the end then?
What spec of turbo you go for in the end mate?
Could you not gently dress the bulkhead alittle to give you the extra clearence if you space the turbo out abit?
haha steve i like your idea of gently dress as thats exactly my approach
When I comes to building renaults "gently dressing" is essential lolBy 'gently dress' I assume that translates to ' beat with a hammer & grind '
Thats the box your afterJust been to the breakers & there was a 172 sitting there, I thought it was rude not to take the driveshafts, hubs & brakes off it to put on the R19
Was going to take the box but it seems to have the circlip diff & not a 4 bolt type I was expectingso I left it for now..
Do the X plate 172's have stronger gears or the same as valver ? It's says JC5xxxxxx on the box so it must be the oe one..
Ph1 172 box and the cup box have different ratios I think, ph1 boxes have nice long gears, perfect for mile munching and big speed
Didn't realise that, I got told they were the same ratio as the Clio williams box as well.
Ph1 has a jc5 089 box the cup has a jc5 129 as far as I remember tho I'm not sure if it has any relevance to ratios, I know it's a pain in the ass to get a ph1 box second hand. Nice tho, long ratios, 7800rpm will see you close to 70 in second gear
Yeah slower speeds when limiter is set at 6500rpm thoughI really need to go play with that car again
Looking good mate hopefully not to long to go now
PH1 has a 3.89 final drive, the others (inc Williams) are all 4.07
yep, a bit less revs at the same speed - 4.5%, it's not massive. GTT has a 3.73.
Fook it, I'm gonna finish it. Will make time to drop the engine in next weekend
See how long the valver box last on baby boost.
nice one dude!
