    Kangoo DCi driveshaft fits a Clio 172?

    it's possible. BEst option is still a genuine reconditioned (service exchange) unit

    cams vs itb's

    it's true to be honest. But then you get the next question, which cams? I know what i'd chose every single time, and I know what i'd avoid at all costs

    cams vs itb's

    I drove an AT and EC1 equiped car today. Yours is better. I then took the owner out in mine. He wants to convert to jenveys. You need to come out in my car Pete, you'll be converted

    64mm throttle body on Clio 172 Cup

    just don't bother, it's utterly pointless

    cams vs itb's

    I averaged 36mpg on my Nurburgring trip in May, over the whole trip

    Ktec valves

    I've broken 220 several times, not even the wildest spec possible either. Beanies made 224 and that's with a few compromises.could have changed the cams any got almost 10bhp more from it

    cams vs itb's

    Cams can give similar peak figures, itbs give you it over a bigger rev range.

    Water pump

    it's a mess about actually. Lower cambelt cover off to give you better access (not necessary 100%, but easier) which means upper belt cover off. upper alternator bracket off, bumper off.

    Cams, ITB's and a supercharger....excessive, cool, or pointless?

    Riddle? that was a BBPT conversion originally

    cams vs itb's

    Basically, it makes no difference, would all need re doing. Any other way is a hodge

    Cams, ITB's and a supercharger....excessive, cool, or pointless?

    They suck ****. Tested them for antanov, you just get on peak power and it changes up so you lose an instant 30bhp. Crap

    Cams, ITB's and a supercharger....excessive, cool, or pointless?

    Never seen it done like that. Bracket added to hold the sensor in, or add a hose tail barb and remote locate the sensor is how I've always seen it

    More LS V8 into Nissan swap noise

    dal's? Wasn't all that. Not sure it was ever road legal, always got trailered to shows when I saw it. Gordon's was better with the supercharger sitting 2 foot above the bonnet line Another friend has an 80's vette engine'd s13 he's threatening to take to the ring next year.

    Want a quiet exhaust solution...

    in fairness it was a ninja stealth. Only way you can make an exhaust quieter though, it to restrict it.

    Want a quiet exhaust solution...

    last car I worked on with one of those came out very under-powered. Exhaust slaughtered it. 10-15bhp down

    cams vs itb's

    if only. Belts done 10k ago so don't need replacing apparently.....where do I start :S

    cams vs itb's

    got your email about cams. Can't really answer it in a straightforward way. Call me when you can, it'll be easier.

    182 gearbox onto 172 engine & no reverse?

    probably another one that needs all the little nylon bushes on the linkage replacing. Cheap to do

    182 gearbox onto 172 engine & no reverse?

    worn linkages and incorrect adjustment IMO

    Cams, ITB's and a supercharger....excessive, cool, or pointless?

    Call me to talk about it properly at some point

    Ktec valves

    plus shipping, plus import duty.....etc.

    Cams, ITB's and a supercharger....excessive, cool, or pointless?

    yeah it's do-able. are you thinking of using the Jenvey turbo plenum?

    Cams, ITB's and a supercharger....excessive, cool, or pointless?

    mapping and getting stable sensor readings gets tricky. you have to use trick pipework, or change to alternative mapping strategies like boost correction (uses a throttle based map, and adds a straight % of fuel on a boost pressure scale.

    Ktec valves

    that's less than a standard valve at trade price

    Had my tracking done.

    205 GTI i bought had 5 degrees of toe out. Drove it home from Bath. Tyres were legal when I left (only had a quick check) when I got back to Bedford.....

    Ktec valves

    good luck with that

    Better straight line speed?

    240-250 is a safe reliable output (in relative terms) on a stock engine with a Rotrex
  28. D

    Better straight line speed?

    well there's probably some combination of bits used elsewhere, but it's all very new. That specific ECU was done from scratch basically

    Better straight line speed?

    be in a similar ballpark as anything similar
