Which brand of octane boost do you use ted?Originally Posted by turbo ted
new engine spec
williams head bigger inlet valves and ported inlets,standard exhaust valves and slightly lower compression than before, they're the only differences and its making extra power.
Still on pump fuel Shell Vpower and a pint of octane booster
and yes it will be at the renault turbo festival.
Top work though, awesome numbers can't wait to see it!
lucas
Paddy spec tuning. Well done shamus
nice work teddy man

Are you racing next year ? Esc?
Good to see the parts arriving, look forward to seeing this next year
Good work ted
Robbie as always top work looking forward to seeing this again
a colossal job on this car!!
bravo, good courage afterwards.
was going to fit one, but need to get use to the car with an open diff first
are you running split gears from different boxes or have you stuck with a single type, erf,drw etc.
was going to get that clutch myself, but was informed that the oxide granules on the friction plate would'nt last more than 4000 miles, they built me a 4+ build, which is basicly the full cerametalic ring with solid centre. figured out cheaper than the stage 3+ also
used the uprated engine mounts on all corners, on mine and to be honnest it does'nt move one bit(piccys in project thread)
my only conern is the outer hubs splines shearing of, which will mean fitting bigger hubs etc cant remember if you fitted the 172 itemseither way great work rob ,bet you cant wait to get it going again, 9,s this year maybe
, might need a bigger turbo though
Andy it's the CVs that fail before the splines. 172 CV's and hubs are much stronger.
its on my list to do, cheers chris. had alreadt built up the driveshaftsjust out of interest, is there anything else thats bigger/ stronger say scenic or espace that will work?
I looked at a few andy, I think most of the newer renault use the same spline and CV as 172 so it was just as easy to use those. Some of the old bigger renaults used the bigger spline too but 172 CV's looked best to me. I had no more trouble after I swapped to those.its on my list to do, cheers chris. had alreadt built up the driveshafts
cheers chris, hows your 5 doing, have you had anytime yet for the upgrades,cough,cough turbo
hi andrew the diff im using is a cheap version of the peloquin here's the link

scoff has used this diff so i know it worksrunning 172 hubs already so shafts should be sorted, as for a bigger turbo no but maybe a twin stroll exhaust housing and more boost
Yes andy its getting there. I've bitten off more than I can chew this winter, there's a lot going on with it. It's away having a national chassis cage done then it's off for paint and wrap while I build a new motor and gearbox.cheers chris, hows your 5 doing, have you had anytime yet for the upgrades,cough,cough turbo
Robbie, looking good

oohh twin scroll!! be nice to see if it helps spool up
sounds like your sorted then
oh well , might have a play with the gears when that happens

Robbie, looking good
are you going sequential by any chance?
No Andy, sticking with H pattern
Those Obx items seem to do the job good after a debur, replacement of the ****ty springs and correct tightening of the bolts.
Twin scroll is a good step forward too, although for pod i don't really think it's necessary.
However you're making good progress! Did the jc5 break in the end?
jc5 gearbox broke the planetary and sun gear in the diff theres no way of upgrading that pictures below you can see the sun gear twisted off and stuck in the end of the driveshaft.
I bet as a child you used to break steel balls
small update
engine mounts now done and all mounted on subframe as i didn't want to mount the gearbox on the chassie leg so i made frame over the gearbox and made a new mount position on the back of the subframe.
doing a power steering conversion aswell managed to fit a clio williams rack its tight but it fits
thats all for now pictures below.
Looks the nuts rob well impressive mate
looking great Rob, you back at work now?
Robbie that is looking very impressive
Looking good Robbie, but power steering
Looking good mate!
Looks like nice setup there. Are completely replacing the exhaust manifold or just reworking the old item?
hi everyone
the reason for power steering f7 lumps are heavy and now its going to be alot heavier with the vag box and i only have 300mm steering wheel,power steering will be ran off a electric pump so i won't lose any bhp
Looking very nice mate
What are the engine mounts off? Are they easily available?
Buggerhi everyone

Spot on Ted, looks amazing !!
hi ashy there just rover v8 mounts i mod them do by cutting the thread stud off and drill through them so i can fit bolt through them and tighten them right down as i've had them v8 mounts snap apart beforeLooking very nice mate
What are the engine mounts off? Are they easily available?
All coming together now mate.. i was only pulling your leg about the power steering
Gonna be a beast once its finished thats for sure.
holy **** Rob!!!! are you expecting something to twist
the cast alloy casing will break around the bolt holes before anything else, i thought mine where solid(could shift them with two of us pulling on the engine/subframe
looking good though, how much does it weigh now? mine was 915kg before
Was this the orignal inlet with the end cut off then the plate and 120mm tube welded on? Looks exllent!made a new inlet manifold out of 120mm alloy tube.
hi mate
its the original flange and runners cut off the standard manifold the rest i made by hand alot drilling and filing out the 4 holes on flat plate to match the original runners then 120mm diameter tube cut with a slot to the size of the flat plate welded to flat plate and end caps to match.
Is that all?
make me an offer on that one and i will make another one
Temping... I'm in no rush at the moment, but if it was going at a bargain then who knows.
update new exhaust manifold pictures below
That was quick, what's his work like?
It looks good.
Looking great rob how long till its all done and running full boost again mate
this manifold has bigger diameter tube and longer runners===more boost
Looks really good Rob
Ooow sexy baby...
heres a link of fabricator facebook page who made the manifold
