    What parts for clio turbo conversion on 5GTT

    Ok I’m starting a new thread as I want a shopping list of the things I am going to need. I haven’t spend many hours reading up yet so excuse some ignorance please.
    Plan is to turbocharge the 1.8 f7p engine I will soon be getting (thanks Backyard Rob) I may be B@45tardising this with the f7r engine?
    I want to get it running not looking at any world records yet…
    I have a Renault 5 gt turbo with a C1J and cossie cooler 4x4 front mount
    A manifold for clio
    An f7p engine.
    A T28 turbo
    I know I am going to have to lower the compression but what other bits will I need?
    Ignition and fuelling wise (aftermarket ECU)- Standard Injectors ?
    Exhaust and fuel stuff? High pressure fuel pump?
    Engine mounts –strengthening etc
    Shall I use the Volvo clutch with the gt box I have already?
    Will I need any sensors and stuff on the engine got a bit of a learning curve?

    Re: What parts for clio turbo conversion on 5GTT

    Can get some parts off a renault 21 turbo

    Map sensor (2 bar sensor I think) and injectors - max 1 bar, not sure on what injectors can take.

    You need a one way valve for the braking
    Clutch depends on power same with gearbox

    R-Tuner or aftermarket ECU - Ive gone adaptronic like a few on here

    What was discussing though which I might be having a problem with, hoping that scoff can answer, was going to post on adaptronic forum, can the adaptronic run sequential firing with a f7p flywheel? as this might be the cause of poor idle control as currently running batch. Will it make that much difference with idle between batch and sequential and will I be able to use that or would I have to go the route of either a trigger wheel or change flywheel or weld/cut the notches.

    Cheers Dale
    I think I will probably go adaptronic route I'm sure Scoff will recommend one, the sequential firing is a little out of my knowledge range but it's like anything new, you learn a lot when you start fettling.

    I will have to raid Ashy and Mat C's (Deathtrap comment noted) lock up's for bits

    I'd say there should be little to no difference to your idle between sequential and batch fire. I'd be looking else where, like for air leaks etc.

    Hi guys,

    Batch fire won't cause poor running, and actually most efi car's from the 80's and 90's run batch. Dale you need a cam angle sensor to run sequential, might just be a mapping or icv issue you've got ? Or manifold air leaks, as woz mentions
