Awesome work man, great when the graft pays off and you get more than expected isn't it 😁💪🏻. Chris really is a legend of the tuning world.
Know how you feel with traction and I'm on a chunk less power than you are!
Can't wait to see it at somepoint soon, keep up the good work.👍🏻
So far so good, I've just gone past 1000miles on it all. I did find there was a diff available for the Twingo RS133 box, I'm sure its also a Jr5 type box. Might have to strip the spare old box (the one I smashed the selector on) I have here for a measure up.
I might just be lucky, I don't...
The switch has made a world of difference, its actually still very spritely in low power mode. Trying to get some traffic light gran prix launches down and adding the power back in at about 4500 rpm in 2nd will still see them light up 😂 trying to find somewhere quiet to do some logs on dragy is...
WOW, works so well on the road. Boost comes in at about 5psi increasing with revs to 8psi then when you want some more press the button and 17psi fires in giving you all the powerz...... :D gets off the line so much better. Need to try some dragy times now.
My car doesn't have one..... but it will do soon. That's the other switch I mentioned that ill add in the future (when I get down the scrap yard :D) my car wasn't pre wired for cruise control, I only have the buttons spare as I fitted the meg 250 steering wheel. There's a blank in the side panel...
So I've been looking at ways I can limit power in lower gears. 300lbft of torque by 2500rpm, a light car and 15s is pretty savage even at light throttle. My car was mapped with open loop boost control meaning (haven't tested it yet) I should be able to close off/block the standard electronic...
I think I'd already mentioned previously that I wanted to panel in the radiator just to maximise airflow through it and not around it. Quick bit of CAD then cut out of aluminium. Renault left a nice fixing I was able to use to hold it. Whilst the front was off I refitted the air scoop to the...
Just under half a tank when weighed in, I should of filled it up straight after to figure out how much was in there but have only just thought about it.
On fuel usage, I've been kicking its head in, driving silly fast and its pretty decent. Last calculation put it at 29.7mpg.
1000kg on the nose! With just under half a tank of fuel. There will be some inaccuracies in it I'm sure but happy with that. Really need to get it on some proper car scales, cough cough @Ads29 cough cough 😉
ok so im going to slap it on a weigh bridge thing later on, what do we think it will come in at?
from standard it really only has the back seats out, an air bag and some lighter wheels but now has a heavier engine up front...
not in Gloucester itself but I am heading up to caffeine and machine on Friday eve if anyone fancies it https://helmtickets.com/events/7099/caffeinemachine-friday-sundowners?iframe=1&d=1&op=1&slot=18134
