@bloke do you have the ratios for the jr5-120?

Easy peasy job, thats why only want the 5th lol. In fact ive done a 5th gear replacement a santpod car park before lol. No bother i look around locally first as its a 3 hour each way trip on a good day (y) and postage on a box aint going to be cheap.

Ideally im looking for a 45/31 or 47/31 5th gear

I cant find the ratios for the 120. Could be tempted if you fancied pulling the 5 gear cogs off and posting them to me and scrapping the rest? i want a longer 5th for the JH gearbox, not a JC. JA3 JA5 JH3 and JR5 all seem to share parts

@YorkshireKyle what's the full code of the box? I'm after the 5th gear out of a derv box.........

jh series box in the twingo gt. but I've read the jc5 internals bolt in. probably crap info like most that's spouted tbh.

its be some heavy old hector with a diesel engine probably ?? half the fun is tinkering for me too and doing something a little different. you should see some of the stuff I've put together over the years, some of it very out there. I generally get an idea and run with it, get bored, sell up...

Aftermarket rods are available, though if I'm honest, and wanted to shoot well north of 200bhp I'd just swap the lump out. If I could crack 165bhp solidly on it I'll be ecstatic. Part numbers show the rods are different to the non turbo which is nice, I guess time will tell. the older 8v rods...

1149cc you should round down not up to 1.2 lol but it looks better with a 1.1t badge lol indeed it hustled along nicely, especially for a car on cheap tires and normal road pads.

This is what im currently working on when i get a spare 5 min, Modified standard manifold holding a tf035 turbo (like a small td04 that the starlet guys like to use) the pic of turbos show the original housing at the bottom, and old school T2 of a Renault 5 GT Turbo and then the tf035 at the top.

indeed the 133 is a fair bit different, not just the arches, wishbones hubs arb are all different. This is more clio spare parts than the 133. With regards to the limits im not sure, not many are. My next plan of action, though it might not get there, is to slap a bigger blower on. The stock...

they had a turbo 133 as far as im aware, made really strong numbers too

yeah no bother, bin it buy it rules apply (y)

Cheers, i do like to be a little different, a few more handling mods and possibly a few more bhp and i think itd be a proper fun thing to smash about in. As i said above i totally expected to hate it out on track but it surprised me and i think a few people i let take it out there too (y)

i used to have one, coilovers, slicks and remap, good fun car but SOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo needed a power hike. I did build a 197 lump bolted to a jc5 box i was going to sling in it but never got round to finishing it off.

Ill do a quick jump to the end, but basically switched out to 15 inch oz f1s from the 16s. Dialled in 1.6 deg of camber and 6/7min toe out, chucked some cheapo toyo tr1s on front, flushed the brake fluid and came along to the cliosport festival where it was a blast. The drive alone was about...

Its quiet at work today, so i am at home tinkering on the twingo. The silicone elbow is here to thrown that on to make use of the space where the filter was and declutter the bay a little. My camera and phone are battered so pics arent to good. Straighter run to the tiny tiny turbo now rather...

Just as another little touch, this car is still doing its mpg thing. I filled up 5 miles from EFI, did 5 hours there with plenty of full bore pulls, A brisk 3 hour run home afterward, Fridays work commute, another dyno day in Gloucester along with some "playing" whilst over that way, the Monday...

Good day down at the dyno shootout today, the dyno showed it having more hp than at efi but the same torque. ill trust efi's rollers i think. It surprised them down there when i told them it was a little 1.1 turbo engine that came factory turbo charged rather than something i built. Had a little...

Bigger turbo and clutch are next on the list i think will be interesting to see how it handles it, good going for sure and yeah similar power as a r5 gt with less capacity but 8 more valves. I can guarantee this has smaller thinner rods though so torque will break something at some point :D So...

So I left the house at 10 am yest, giving me time for fuelling up, toilet stops and traffic. I was booked in for a 3pm start at EFI parts. A quick jet wash and fuel up before leaving town saw me hit the road in reality about 10.45 for a nice steady drive up north on light cruise. Sun was shining...

its proper grim tup north. left my house this morning with beaming sunshine! bit dank up here though, everything is grey once you hit brum lol stock they are 98bhp 107 lb ft

This mornings mission was to upgrade the fuel system to include an external fpr. Renault did good and left all the extra hangers and clips i needed under the car and the fuel pump was a direct fit so all went well. Looks a little pikey in the engine bay but its not leaking thus will do the job...

date booked in for some slightly custom mapping :D and also the car on an eco friendly vibe returned 45mpg on the last tank. Not bad as it was purchased as a commuter.

So the clio rail even though its said is needed on the twingo when fitting bigger injectors, isnt the right offset for the injectors, so wont fit, so i cant use the clio rail anyway. Im trying to gain a rising rate fuel pressure setup to negate the need to run silly big injectors for small...

not sure why i bother trying to make it easy and buy stuff. 1 x PMT ph1 fuel rail setup. Survives the blow test for sealing so will try it with some fuel this weekend hopefully. Took all of 20min with a soldering iron and sand paper. Not pretty but should do the job nicely.

with the 16inch oz f1's

So ive gotten a few bits together for future upgrades on the twingo. what was sold to me as a ph1 pump set up and rail. The pump might be off a late ph1 though as it has some regulator setup in tank but still had a feed and return line. Quick strip down and check to see what was going on then a...

Still no pics of the wheels on the car but i did take a quick look at the fuel pump arangement to look at an upgrade. What i found was the rear seats are held in with 4 bolts and are quick release. Chucked them on the scales at circa 19kgs each so they can stay out for a little while, plus the...

Got a little bored last night, was tempted to try wrapping but as the bumper was a little damaged anyway i hit it with a sander and satin black paint. Didnt turn out too bad i dont think?
