I've just drilled the top for my return back to tank but I've got a swirl pot. Plus my in tank pump is direct feeding out of the top of the sender.

Has it got a PH1 sender unit? You can tell by the fuel return in the top of the sender unit. If it's moulded plastic it's a ph1 otherwise it'll have a retro fitted brass fitting if it's a modified ph2

Sounds like someone has modified your original unit to work with the external set up. Has the sender unit still got the OE hoses between the pump outlet,back into the base, then from the base to the sender unit outlet. Or are you just using a hose running from the top of the pump straight to...

Yes Steve the seats are finally in there, only put them in last month as I didn't want them getting trashed. Cheers Scotty and Andy it looks good so far, was hoping to just recalibrate the injector pulse width and use my old map but I ran into problems, Paul tried remote mapping it this morning...

Well for anyone who is interested the Trophy is alive, it's heading down to RSTuning for Paul to work his magic. Expect a long overdue update soon

Might have to send you chocolates and flowers instead

Steve I've had exactly the same problem myself. Initially I thought it was the ECU needed reseting, so sent it off to Scoff to have it done, got it back still doing exactly the same. Anyway had a look on here yesterday and noticed MicKPM had commented on a similar fault a month or two ago so I...

They might be OK mate but I'd have to look see what material they are, I've also used same style copper ones and they were OK as well.

I use these, not the cheapest but never had anything come loose since I got them. http://www.burtonpower.com/exhaust-nut-manifold-to-turbo-turbo-to-downpipe-sc572.html

ROFL, Craig with his supercharged sunflower ph1 attended RSOC at Croft a few years ago and walked away with the fastest fwd 0-60 so no,high powered focus' don't put the power down better than a 200bhp Clio

I think with your set up you should be fine, one of my biggest problems I had on my early set up was just using the actuator. With the exhaust back pressure and the plenum pressure, even with a 1 Bar actuator it was opening and only holding 10 psi at high Rpm. With your solenoid valve, you will...

Kelv, catcams do a range of race cams that delete the vvt and have been proven to work well with high comp and high RPM. I think probably the most extreme set up is the catcam one RStuning and BigAsh are using.

I'm actually just jealous that you managed to re use the original pump pipes. Mine were a right mess by the time I got them off the pump LoL

Ross I still had problems with the PH1 set up. As mentioned above the fuel pump sits in a small enclosure that acts as swirl pot. However it only has a small volume. With a standard pump when cornering the pump doesn't move enough fuel to actually drain it. With a 255LPH fuel pump it moves a lot...

Whilst I haven't got a sender unit to hand, I'm pretty sure they vent back to the tank, so if the feed to the FPR is blocked off then surely whether the FPR is in or out makes no difference? I don't understand why you keep emphasising the small reserve in the FPR chamber as a fail safe against...

With the screw fitted you should be able to bin off the FPR. You'll still get fuel surge though as regardless of piping in the FPR chamber when the pick up point on the pump starts sucking in air you'll get a pressure drop in the full system. With a bigger pump it just makes things worse as it...

Fair enough my understanding of it was - Small reservoir/swirl pot that the pump sits in - Pump pressurises the sealed pot where the FPR sits - Fuel is fed out the top of the sender, anything beyond 3bar is pumped direct into the tank. Your set up will simply vent fuel out of the FPR port and...

Are you sure you've put those pipes on correctly? As that top pic looks as though it's the same as standard? With mine I just took a direct feed from the top of the pump straight out of the top of the sender.

True, but I was gonna risk a trip round Europe and the Nurburg in the summer so would like it as bearable as possible

The Shaftec part number is SCV370

Cheers lads, it's the same throttle body and pedal that I had on my last set up so I've used it plenty. My big gripe is that to open the throttle fully the pedal needs to be set quite high other wise you hit the floor. On track it's fine but when cruising on the motorway etc... And only using...

I've got a Jenvey 70mm single throttle body and the throttle pedal travel seems to be excessive to fully open the butterfly. The cable is correctly set up with minimum slack. What's the throttle pedal travel like on ITB cars? I've looked to see if Jenvey do any other pulleys to change the...

Yeah boots, retaining bands and even the small clip for locking the shaft to the CV. I've left the box at BTM so will grab the part number of it tomorrow and post it up.

No problems mate, thanks for trying. I've managed to get two new joints from Shaftec in Birmingham. I was honest with them and told that they would see 500bhp+ and that it would be hammered on track and at the ring and they assured me they should be fine. They've even given me a 2 year...

I ran a JC5 128 (DCi 80 box) at 341 BHP and about 317LB/FT, no problems what so ever. What killed it was shock loading the box, when cornering and accelerating hard out of a bend as the inside wheel gripped, spun, gripped, spun etc...... it spat the circlip out at first then when I moved to 374...

Cheers for that chaps, I've just checked those part numbers and I'm getting a 44 toothed Abs ring for one and the other is for a CV joint that won't work with mine. The CV on mine has 23 splines externally and internally it has 32 splines. The one listed has 23 external and only 25 internally.

Right lads rather than start a new thread about CV joints I figured I'd revive this one. I need two high quality CV joints, they're for my turbo clio and will be fitted on my custom shafts so complete shafts are no good. I've looked everywhere and can't find anything. @MG cup @GodSpeed...

Not sure mate? the last post I can see seems to be from Si on Xmas day? Maybe I'll get kicked off there the same as that Renault UK facebook group that seems to be run by muppets ;-)

Does anyone actually use clioturbo.co.uk? I logged on the other day and theres been hardly any posts on there for months?

LOL :D Really you don't need your turbo above the gear box unless your going for a huge Turbo. Nortech have done manifolds that use a v band clamp that'll allow you to fit anything up to a gt30 between the engine and bulk head. They use the tial housings which are really compact. Even a...
