[markey b]

what made you go back to belt driven waterpump?

[tubby5]

main reason was reliabilty/cost those elec water pumps arent cheap also looks alot neater with the hose kit

didnt realise i was logged in under my dads name

[DK DEVELOPMENTS]

Why is the inlet plenium so small?

[tubby5]

it holds a tad over 1.4 litres thats inclueding the inlet necks,it was previously a log type inlet before and it held 1.8litres then

[benj88]

[Nayls]

4e for the time being

ooh!! sounds like 5e is on the cards then!

i think a few will follow suit with this,especially when they see what it's capable of

[tubby5]

That was on the cards ever since Northallerton innit

[Brigsy]

Looks sweet mate, nicely done. Will it be making an appearance at the pod??

[tubby5]

Wish it was, there's still a bit of work to be done + wiring and mapping.I will be at national day though(hopefully)

[raj]

id like to know, when doing exotic engine conversions like this ie, using an engine not originally designed for the vehicle. what are the key factors you should be looking at to get the engine to "fit"?

i always found myself thinking "could i fit this engine? could i fit that engine?"

out of interest, is it possible to take for example, a lancer engine complete on its subframe and somehow bolt the lot to where the r5's subframe would be? obviously i assume its not as easy as that.!

also how do you go on with driveshafts etc?

[xenon]

[r5gt1986]

Awesome work, nice job.

I loved the car with the toyota engine

[T.K]

Wow! Sick.

raj, anything is possible mate.

it's usually the gearbox that causes most of the problems. Whether or not to use the engine with it's original sub-frame depends on the application. either way one would have to tackle a series of problems.

there are good examples on RTOC to take inspiration from, Scoffs VAG conversion, Matts F4R conversion and dare I say it my own F4R conversion to name a few...

Steve, excellent project mate

[tubby5]

she lives a massive thanks to scoff for grafting all day and doing a really neat job of the wireing top bloke
anyway heres a little vid of her running

[rs250nut]

Nice work, I LIKE I think I brought your old intercooler from ebay

[tubby5]

thankswas it the grill mount?

[tubby5]

managed to bag me self some recaro pole positions and get rid of the rocking chairs.which i think made scoff nervouse when mapping


also put my new renault sport sabelt steering wheel on.as it was gathering dust on top of the wardrobe.makes the intereior a bit more pleaseing to the eye now

[andy_wpo]

Hey.Just a few question if you don't minde
What was the convenes that make you to choose this engine?From what i now it's a 1.3liter engine,yes???
I'm just curiose to now what make you to do this conversion insted of the usual Renault engine conversion made.
The exotism,light engine and possibility of tune range??
Any way nice work and waiting to see some figures

[tubby5]

the main reason was that my brother had a glanza.and it was so fast on the private road,think the only car that beat him was a lotus exige(supercharged honda engine)and that only pulled 4- 5 car lengths,and it never let him down,it just loved punishment

also at 1-1.1bar alot of the starlet/glanza guys seem to be getting trap speeds of 105-110mph(depending on set up) and that seems pretty good to me.considering there a bit heavier than the gtt
