Its something ridiculous ike 8 bars/ over 2000cal a piece. I had one and failed to do a full piece in as its either feel sick or a trip to the dentist :LOL: was awesome though!
Small diversion off the thread, before i do another large update.
Current spec of the car to the best of my knowledge.
Engine/Fuel system
Megane 250 block, custom J.E. forged pistons (around 8.3:1 with 197 head iirc, id need Steve to confirm).
Catcams conrods, balanced crank and rotating...
Awesome times back then @Ricardos cant believe how fast time has gone. On the plus side like last weekend at CSF the good times are still rolling albeit older and in modern renaultsports😁
I believe it was at Freds for ages when Steve was living down Nottingham, possibly after it was in Nortech...
Cheers mate. Im going to catch up with Steve at some point soon hopefully, hes currently working abroad. The R&D he put into this to make it all work nice is insane especially in the early days when nobody was going turbo, no corners have been cut. Give us a shout when yours is on the road, get...
So lets get the ball rolling.
We are going back, way back from when i was a member of the Renault Turbo Owners Club forum (Rtoc) which was mostly for R5gtt's, i believe a few of you were members back in the day. This is where i first read about this Trophy, around 2008-09 iirc, Steve used to...
I always wanted a mk4 escort van with rst conversion. Back in the day my mate had a diesel mk4 van and we used to all pile in the back and cruise about no f***s given :LOL: Astramax with c20let was good to but they are extinct
Rev counter is operated via canbus on these so id imagine it will work fine and read correct, but only downside would be 8k rpm on the cluster and only using 4k or so as diesel not capable of same rpm. In effect a bit like some of the clio2 diesels that have 7k on the cluster as share the petrol...
Ive got mk3 clio 200 clocks in mine. All mk3 clio clocks plug in and work, but if originally for a keyless car then reprogramming is needed so the clocks shut down properly on the normal key. The door open, temp gauge, mpg, warning lights etc all work spot on.
Mk2 meg clocks also plug in but...
CSF update 2022
Cleaned up and sat in the garage all week to stay clean. Pulled it out the garage ready to go and torrential rain started straight away so waste of time :LOL:
Filled up with fuel and gear, uneventful ride down to pick the Trophy up en route via Leeds. Noted max 30mpg at steady...
Mark Bacon owns it, not sure if hes on here. Its epic, 172 lump on standalone/bodies, 192hp, quaife atb, pms shifter, loads of trick bits. Hes on instagram Renault_5_sleeper
The roll correction kit makes a massive difference. The trophy feels the same on the Northloop kit, absolutely planted and solid compared to stock setup. I wanted a run out in yours as passenger but time just flew by, next time (y)
Currently 270ish hp @ 8psi wastegate prsssure. On high boost its 349hp @ 14psi, had to stop at that as issues with the fuel system so need to fix and revisit. 28psi should see some good hp mid to high 400s.
Wanted to see if the kangoo could keep with it on way back from csf. Shez said no and...
To update - We have purchased number 54 off Steve H back in December 2020.
After several months of rebuilding and furthur modifications its now road legal again and a few of you might have seen it at CS Festival yesterday.
Sneak preview, have approx 200 hours of updates to come in due course...
Clip is still the boyo on original management. Have been using RsTuner quite a bit lately too and its quite user friendly, just cost of modules is the downside.
If your good with french Ren0link is great, and cheap. Works on modern windows software too.
Kangoo is super clean and ready for takeoff. As predicted its pissing down so prob waste of time cleaning :LOL:
Looking forward to catching up with everybody tomorrow
