Not sure, wait for Dan to comment if he see's this thread, his observation.

Dan@519 recently found out that the noise of the dephaser can false trigger the knock sensor, therefore pulling some timing out of the map, resulting in a drop in power.

Without arguing, it may well follow that thermodynamic law, however.... the coolant is moving yes? ergo cooling the turbo. fin! It must be working, ive not baked the core yet?

Just fit 205/45/16, its no biggy.

2 sets of mole grips, incremently tighteining each side till you can get a bolt in piece of piss.

595RSR, £71 per tyre on mytyres.

Myth busted, my turbo makes all sorts of slurping coolant noises when the engines shut off after a run, and you can witness coolant flowing back into the header tank as it should.

Im wanting more boost lol, 1-3rd boost about 1 bar, 4th and 5th load slightly longer and can achieve about 17psi. Im quite happy to push the boundaries of this setup. Just waiting for the software update then ive got a new file to load to smooth out a few fuel transient problems with a slightly...

Take the feed from the thermostat housing, its plenty adequate and far easier to route.

Yeah that'll make the noise, reasonably common i believe. you need a 10mm socket and an extension and tighten 2 nuts down 2 of the holes (think its the left hand 2), at the front.

Sounds like the 00x71 update that im waiting for too.

Do people not realise hes just put the price as "12345" as he doesn't know how to value his steaming pile of junk hence "offers". ??

My T28 is troopering along at ~310bhp approx 1.1bar, cheap turbos you can pick them up for £200. Although imo i do find it a little bit laggy strangley, it doesnt really get into its stride until 3800-4000rpm. Expensive option would be a GT2860RS ~ £800, probably a better spool up will flow...

If you buy genuine, it comes with the bearings pre installed. Non genuine discs rarely do. Genuine rear discs can be had for a decent price it makes no sense to buy something else.

Its not going to be the cause of a boost spike either

My MPG with meggy injectors reads pretty much bob on.

The undo, redo x 3 eliminates the point the ARP Ultra Torque lubricant was created for. To produce the correct preload on the first tighten. Its all over there website.

It's like a DTI gauge on a "C" shape bracket with two prongs, it locates around the top and bottom of the bolt, as you tighten it the bolt it stretches and the gauge measures the amount of stretch on the bolt. Its usually around 6 - 7 thousands of an inch on these i think, because stretch...

To increase friction levels in the cruicial ring seating process. However 1000 miles is quite excessive IMO. 50-100 miles max for mineral, then 500 miles Semi synth, then fully synth, everyone does it differently and has their own views as to what works best though.

Theres instructions with the bolts. its 42ft lb's from memory. Angle tightening is much better but for you're avergae DIY who builds his engine in his shed, then you won't own a stretch gauge.

I epic failed last time, the clutch was toast staright away did a 14.6 i think and gave up. However im now armed with more boost and a better clutch ill give it another stab.

I'm genuinely shocked (badum tshhh) at how how cheap they are from renault, stupid to go buy them anywhere else imo.

i think the CL04 was me! tempted to go again but not sure i want to put the car through the punishment!

THe only issues ive encoutered are its noisy on cold, theres a rattle from somewhere, ive messed up a bearing clearance along the way (probably because i micro polished the crank in my bedroom with sandpaper and shoelace string lol), so engines needs to come out and ill use my other mint crank...

They were tested to 350bhp / 1.5bar on the dyno lol. Perhaps they will let go some day, but it'll get a beating everyday until they do :race:, you guys need to be more optimistic! I did it as a test, if it blows i got a spare block in the shed which i'll forge. I think the majority of meganne...

Ktec Dyno'd there brand new 200T and it put out 225ft lb, dyno jokes aside aparently the 177ft lb figure isnt the peak (just the minimum torque available between say 2000rpm - 6000rpm (i dont know the actual revs)).

Box out the top blows my mind lol.

Yeah you've spun a bearing. Im guessing as you didn't know that, you dont have the knowledge to rebuild the engine, which means start looking for a new engine!! :(

Aw shame to see you sell :( No baby or house will be makeing me sell mine thats for sure!
