I made a start this morning and came up against my first issue..... id ordered the wrong ITB, the one I have is an IDF replacement. Order now placed for the DCOE version. Fingers crossed I can return it, if not it can go on ebay once I'm finished.

The ethos of this project has always been along the budget DIY lines but with improvements along the way. The first wave was for a bigger engine that ended up with me going for a mappable ignition to ditch the old points and dizzy and I replaced the fuel pump for a modern unit at the same time...

Compression test is fine, roughly 9.5 bar on all and more importantly even across them. I reset base timing and that seems fine. Spark is there too, can see it arching when I pull the leads out, doesn’t mean its happening at the right time though I guess. Dubious it being fuel as 1-2 and 3-4...

i will try and post some bits up soon

Yes very much so and was hunting for one for ages. I actually have a ropey Renault R6 as well as the 8, its an R4 underneath but slightly posher (mine isnt) Its been in the naughty corner for a few months, should probably check its still there

Good question was a while back now was a diesel box i went for though, all the petrol version were very short ratios and no good for a turbo lump. Yes all the joints are different to a clio so itd be a mix and match from twingo/modus and possibly clio cvs to get it all to work. There are also...

Pretty sure when I looked, the jr5 hydro release bearing setup looked like it would bolt to the input shaft sleeve bolts of a JC.

Not on the ecu side.... we actually ran to 7500rpm whilst testing but it looks like the TCU takes over and starts closing the throttle at 6750, need to do some digging

And I'm home (y) came back with + 20bhp and +20lbft, even more bottom end and plenty of fuel in reserve Shave under 320bhp and 275lbft on EFI's dyno, ill take that. Table top torque, we just need more revs, another 1000rpm looks like it'd give 330+

Just need to load up the car with a few emergency spares and get going. On the dyno this afternoon (y) looking forward to seeing how it performs, drives well pre map, partial throttle spool up seems a lot more eager.

Id be hyped passing 310bhp on EFI's dyno tbh. 250 to 260ftlb at 6500 would be decent with the usual table top torque delivery. Im half expecting to need a clutch quite soon after this latest revision....
