Cut the guy some slack maybe hes used the wrong method but achieved the correct end results. as long as the crank pin slots in and the horshoe goes in at the same time then all is good. If its not running right maybe youve missed a sensor that needs to be plugged in theres a few you need to...

As far as i am aware though clios dont have ARB linkage's :/

i reckon he meant "linkage"

At the base there is a tab you push in, push the tab in while pulling away from teh manifold and it will come off pretty easy.

If you go for a custom setup, stick with 2" pipework it will unbdoubtly be easier to route through the engine bay. There would be no gains going bigger.

I use stock cover and 4 paddle friction. I have had no issue with slippage.

They take the torque, dont worry.

i heard their general rate is about £275 now. Need to get my spare box up there at some point.

A dropped valve will stop you in your tracks immediately in a cloud of rattling smoke, and will probably lock the engine up. its not a progressive failure like you describe.

Its ultimately still a small turbo so it just doesnt have the lung capacity to flow large amounts of air and hence dies off at high rpm. But its very effieicnet at low RPM, twin scroll, fast spooling e.t.c that gives it ridiculous torque low down.

I reused a HG and headbolts on one of my old engines, no issues at all. I wouldnt do it again though.

400ftlb on megane rods, and people thought i was takeing risks at 300!

Lol so many Ktec bashers nowadays

No you're definately right there. It's my toy, my aim is to burn as much petrol as possible when im in it ;)

I got some miles to do on monday, ill calculate its MPG im willing to bet it will be over 40mpg. But yeah, thats no better than standard.

I remember fitting 421's to my ITB'd F4R, my biggest shock as you say was the change in noise when it "came on cam", it was bloody brutal!

Sounds like a normal F4R to me

Yummy car

At the end of the day they should all trim to lambda 1 off boost when cruising and should retain near stock econemy doing so. Coops i have replaced with a gasket, but have used better fasteners and braced the downpipe to the engine to stop it flexing against the turbo, if it fails again ill bin it!

i can dig out a copy of Tuner Lite which lets you do the basics, check all diagnostics, ECU paremeters, sensors e.t.c. Tuner Pro you need to get from Ktec.

Its dam good on fuel for what it is! It doesnt use as much as the video implys!

No no, its the piss poor renault piston castings that cause it!! oh wait.... havent seen any pistons in pieces either :/

Quick speedo vid for the straight line heros ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbYVMSio1Kc

Commander keen, i used to s**t myself when these things fell from above the map our out of a hidden tube e.t.c

Billberry seems to do a good job, usually have to go over them a couple of times with the brush too to shift all the dust.

172 Cup Best - BOOOST Worst- Interior rattles

Im going to go ahead and say you shouldn't be accepting anything less than 0 leakage! I diesel tested my builds none of them have ever passed a drip when left overnight.

Re: Compression Test - What's the easiest way to dissable the injection and ignition Sod touching anything in the fuse box. The ingition and coils wont be an issue as youve removed it all to access the spark plug holes anyway. Just unplug the 4 injector plugs they are easy to get to.

lmao, wait till you start driving it and the teething issues show their way though, it'll be testing your patience then!! Just spent 2 hours laying under mine this evening pissing around on it, its second nature now lol
