Mine were CAMTEC valves, like i say it didnt end well... Should be noted the headgasket i used and headbolts were both CAMTEC too, and have used them on a couple of engines with no issues at all.

Nice one scotty appreciate that, i have those same fittings but won't be using them. Have changed my order to -10AN as this seems the accepted "no hassle" drain size for a journal bearing turbo with an unrestricted feed. Other random bits, recieved a nice sheet of Nimbus G2 heatshield material...

Google King components, they are in manchester but they next day delivered them to me for £7. I got this company from f0xy, he used them and so have his mates. i used them on my F4 rebuild, they supply King bearings, they gaveme F9Q bearings for some reason half the shells were bimetallic ally...

Be my second option i think, im guessing 182 Cup driveshafts dont come up that frequently second hand, and i bet they are ££££££ from renault. Chip in your experience what oil drain size do smaller turbos (like a T28!), need? My turbo appears to have a threaded hole for its drain, however i...

It probably does, trechii is pretty cheap for all that sort of stuff, about £30 per set of 8 valves. (but they are crap)

Dont use pattern part valves, i had a bad experience. I would take the plunge and buy new OE renault valves, or a set of 2nd hand renault valves and spruce them up.

99% sure ill go for a GEN90. I'll reserve further comments on the RS2 until someone lets me have a ride / drive of one ;)

Don't think they are boost orientated cams, and they would perform "uknown", i wanted to sell them as its nice to offset against the cost against the turbo parts :)

This is how my F7 used to react to oil pressure, iirc it was a relatively cold engine so readings were quite high, but you can see how its reactrs very well. http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q51/laine_16v/?action=view&current=oilpressure.mp4&mediafilter=videos

Indeed, the 438 cams are good, but if im honest i never made significant gains over the standard cams, made a gains of about 9bhp and 3ft lb's (with the addition of Ktecs induction kit to), the torque spread was nearly identical. Something strange with my engine in the first place. They also...

New wastegate arrived, it doesnt fit lol, its about twice as big and fouls the compressor outlet hose, and the turnbuckle arm i have is an M6, the new actuator uses a 1/4" UNF thread ffs, spent hours on the net looking for a 1/4" UNF turnbuckle and eventually found one on the Forge...

Thought i best post here :) Had my cammed cup for a while and enjoyed it, had many different engines in the past with renaults, ITB's e.t.c but never had any boost, a turbo kit came up for sale on here so i bit the bullet, drove to Wales a couple of weeks ago and collected it. Below is just a...

I replace mine, i bought sensor for £14 of eGay, the pattern part doesnt seem to fit as well it didnt really "click" into place, however it functions perfectly as you would expect it to. Would probably opt for a genuine sensor next time.

My 172 does this to (as i presume every RS does), doesn't make sense to me, i want it glowing at me until my engine is running...

fitted a FMIC :D

Just to add mine snapped a valve ON the limiter

Thats too lumpy imo, something not right with it (most likely to timing if renault did it!!)

Mine is a rather ticky engine too, compares to my mates 182 anyway. Was the same before i blew it up and is the same after i rebuilt it.

Think i paid about £280 for the map at Ktec, will be a similar price at any other tuning company though.

God bless EFI. Cool project, i would love a black S2 ERST to play with :)

99% sure its E8 too

Believe it can shorten the life of the lambda sensor by a reasonable amount

£30 to "clean" your lambda sensor? Oh dear

Because the engine has no requirement for modified fuel pressure at all.

Will be the speedo sensor, mine was exactly the same, used to just go up and down as it pleased. Bought some cheapie one from ebay for £15 and it works perfectly.

You can run the 438's on standard map no problems at all

Sounds like some mole grips would help you out on that one!

Im using an LUK RepSet clutch, bites much better than the valeo imo.

Ive used black silicon on my exhaust before. Worked wonders, as said no cracking or crumbling away, which we all hate. Also didn't combust into a fireball when the ehxaust was hot, which is also a bonus ;)

Sounds compeltly normal, RS's are a bit strange under 4000rpm for a number of reasons, i wouldnt worry.
