French Boost Project

Innit!

 

[Matthew]

Those smoked lights look spot on.

 

[Mr Plums]

Looks great mate, getting it mapped?

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Dat luks sik blud.

GLWTS

I'm broke, so not for a few months. I might just play with the boooooooost a little instead.

 

[Simon_16v]

Need taking out in it Jim!

 

[leeds_182]

Need it finishing first!

 

[leeds_182]

Well, it looks like the cooler is causing me to lose 2 psi of boost so it might be time to TURN UP DA BOOOOOOOOST!

2psi is a lot considering it won't be that high boost.

I think the issue is the turbo! Anything over 8psi into a anything over 1400cc and it'll just cook itself.
Get a T25 on it!

 

[cat171]

What boooost is it running?

 

[_Tom]

I thought he said 6 or 8 psi. I just looked at his RR print out on the front page and it says 976 mbar which is about 14 psi I believe? lol

 

[Waitey]

If it is 14psi it's a long way over the efficiency of that turbo.

He'd get the same power from 8psi out of a T25.

 

[leeds_182]

I was told 7psi by the previous owner.

 

[leeds_182]

If it's 14psi I've lost 9psi lol

 

[leeds_182]

It's not as easy as just strapping on a t25 unfortunately, it would kind of cost me about £1500!

 

[_Tom]

It's not going to be running a bar but looks like it may have at the time of the RR?
2psi loss would be about right. It'll also be a lot more laggy if you have lost as much as that.

You'd only need a new down pipe and a map.

 

[leeds_182]

And turbo. I think there may be clearance issues with the t25 on this manifold too.

Turbo's are cheap.... I paid £30 for a used GT2254 off a Skyline. Who cares if its knackered lol

Surely thats the atmospheric pressure, which will be used in the power caluculation. It's one of the correction factors.

Its' not the boost pressure!

My last RR it was 1002.9

 

[leeds_182]

It's back! The front shocks are screwed so I've ordered some spax.

 

[_Tom]

MUCH better.

Ah yes you are right..

 

[Philip.]

That looks super!

 

[Mr Plums]

Whats the yellow dot on the front bumper mate?

Looks much better now, the wheels look good, but i think silver would look even better, also silver badges and calipers etc and the rear wiper back on :smile:

It's the tow hook cover but someone has put a mango one on.

Scene.

 

[_Tom]

Should be able to turn a profit when you sell it now..

A quick spray will sort that out

I really like this car.

I wouldn't go that far!

 

[cat171]

That looks so much better now!! Silver badges & grill badge would look better still imo.

 

[Matthew]

Looks brilliant! Although agree, that bright silver wheels would look better.

Surley you'll be able to atleast break even on this now is mint?

I doubt it but I've got no desire to sell (at the moment anyway)......

 

[Ph1 Tom]

90 degree alloy pipe instead of the 45 degree, turn it around to suit and that filter will definitely fit behind the headlight

 

[Welsh.Dan]

Cool car. Not a big fan of Saxos, think mainly sue to the ultra chavy image (says he in a bright yellow clio sport), but this is great. [emoji106]

Chav sleeper. Looks in great condition bodywork wise too. I like the dark wheels. But silver badges etc would be good.

Good fun I bet, my mk2 20v turbo golf gti was sleeper fun [emoji41]

 

[leeds_182]

Money pit;

 

[leeds_182]

Tomorrow I will be getting this join sorted out hopefully.

 

[Brookie.]

Looks loads better that now Jim! Good work

 

[leeds_182]

Booooooooost!

 

[_Tom]

Broken it already?
