how so out of interest?

I thought the 776 was the 163bhp turbo engine, different cams and pistons possibly higher compression too when i last looked into it.

polished (and waxed) turd

Seriously man you are going to have to use your noodle and Google stuff. What you are doing isn't normally done so you are going to have to make it happen or go a different route. If it hasn't readily been done no ones got the info to spoon feed you.

Thought id crack on what I thought would be a daunting task but really wasn't. Re-looming everything to suit the new sensor positions, being a relatively new loom it was very easy with no nasty surprises. Most things were very close in position from the d4ft to the F4rt bar a few little bits...

Still looks like a pile of scrap currently. We are past 2 weeks wait for the cambelt and oil filter delivery. Got some other bits turning up next week though, I want to have this back in the car and fully mounted in the next 2 weeks. Id be happy with that then I can move to all the extras like...

Awesome find, seem to be a fair few gems getting found and brought back to life on here at the moment. Good work (y)

Great minds an all that. Spoke with them this morning (y) I am sending them the parts so they can measure up, confirm its the same then sending something back to suit :D

Little update which is a decent step forward but without actually doing anything. This does mean I can now move forward and order the correct parts. So @JohnRogers donated a Twingo rs133 clutch (y) cheers man(y) (fitment looks identical to a clio 182 item) and a cover. The cover was the...

awesome find that well done

Maybe one day in 2025 itll get to a show before it rots away

petrol heads nightmare, didn't get to anything last year as it was all a write off now this year too. I'm sad I pretty much only look to getting to a few car shows a year for a big fun meet up and social. ahh well cant be helped, roll on 2022 (y)

very sad times

As a side note as the question was asked on Turborenault.co.uk, the 1.2 GT throttle body and the Megane 225 Throttle body ARE the same size internally. Both measure up at 41mm GT 42mm at the opening but with a slight step to 41mm 225 41mm Thanks Renault (y)

PMT throttle body adapter wrapped up. Chomped out of some aluminium plate. This allows a GT Throttle body to bolt up to the 225 inlet manifold, utilises the stock gaskets either side. Another little thing finished up on the swap. Thanks for taking a look 👍🏻

hmmm depends what your turn on is, hairy fat blokes......?

id have to use that thing called money for that.....! Want to buy some nudes?..........

Engine and box back out of the hole today hopefully for the final time. I've wrapped some of the brake pipes by the servo in a hope too keep them cooler once the downpipe is made. Short of removing the brake servo I'm not sure how I can create much more clearance at the back (yes I googled brake...

I still flit back to the old Pokémon games every few months, the newer handhelds usually have some re release version if not a DS lite with a hooky card in the back does the job (y)

ahh nice one cheers man much appreciated 👍 I didn't want to buy a new one as 1, it might not fit and 2, if it does fit I want an uprated one anyway. You shall forever be part of the Pikey Mod Tuning build 😁👌🏻

Nothing major to report. I spent a little time this morning swapping out sensors form the D4ft to the F4rt so I'd have less wiring changes to do. All the threads were the same so that was easy. Loom wise the odd bit may need extending but again nothing extreme. All being well I should have...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo Well its a tight fit to get in, its pretty much the same size bay as a Clio 2 but the access is shite, the engine sits under the window and the front is taller and narrower meaning you have no space to swing things around. That said, it sits on the standard...

Right, some ups and downs today. Made a start on the throttle body adapter, I need to do this to retain the GT TB but mate it up too the 225 inlet manifold. Marked it all out on some aluminium and it looks good though I've ran put of countersink screws so have stopped playing until they arrive...

Stop at Burger King and buy Chris some chips, Extra HP right there (y) Give it a check over and take something that may be a common issue/fault but if its driving fine anyway mapping shouldn't "make" anything fail

Ive gone with them as I have them tbh and they will fit with everything in this budget build. That said the inners sections/connections to the diff are the same size as 197 items and probably 172 at 26mm (ill measure some 172 shafts tomorrow) the outers are smaller at I think 23mm (i think the...

172 engine mount also fits the chassis as expected. Renault have a few choices of slave cylinder, the differences seem to be the hose connections between the master and slave. After a measure up, the size and throw all seem to be the same so I have fitted the Twingo GT slave to the JR5 box to...

Gearbox has arrived and looks to be a JR5119 box which gives the following speeds at the top of each gear. though looking dirty it seems to select gears nicely and rotates smoothly. Just need the flywheel and clutch to turn up and I can mate it all together and see if it fits in the car 👍🏻...

Looking for some opinions on the aux belt run, I'm not using the ac or the pas that was originally fitted to the engine, the car has epas anyway. Now I'm going to just cut off any excess bracket material that's not needed. Id like to keep the auto tensioner to keep the belt some what tight but...

Even though the oil left in there was quite black I cant find anything metallic in there so fingers crossed its a good un 👍
