Said turbo and official Garrett Turbo fitting spanner ? Getting a 2871 turbo out with the engine in place is a b*****d! New ones half fitted just waiting for a couple of bits to arrive.

330-350 progressively mapped through a boost solinoid hopefully.

It’s a GT2860RS .64 so should be fast spoiling and still make decent power. I’ll take a look on Kam racing site, they do a grease to which I put on the threads.

I finished putting most of this back together only to pull it apart again, just couldn’t bring myself to use the cheap turbo on an engine that’s cost ££s Sooo ..

Bought a Gen90 off a fellow member for my Clio Turbo, both cars are the same spec, same injectors etc but all it does is turn over. I have no spark or injector pulse. I have power at injector plugs and coil pack plug and fuel pump primes on ignition and continues to pump whilst cranking. If I...

Battery moved to behind front seat. Meant we could put power to fuel setup to test it, this is what came out of 4 ignition cycles, think we’ll be ok for fuel ? Cleaned and regressed/protected coilovers, should have done this last year and the anodising is a bit s**t to be honest.

That’s not a bad weight, mine was 897 with one seat and no turbo conversion so I reckon I’ll be around same weight as you now.

Fuel system finished. Engine in and started to mock everything up, alternator was in the way of boost pipes so moved that.

Nice one! Bet that flys! ?

My fan only works on high speed setting, doesn’t cause any trouble.

It’s all I had to break it up ?

Soooo bought a Gen90 in the end, already has a map for similar setup to mine so I’ll use it to run the engine in then take it to EFI for any tweeks needed. Made a bracket for it and modified the gearbox mount to accept it, will put a layer of closed cell foam in between when it goes in properly...

It better not bloody leak! ??

Bit more done on fuel system.

It’s 170mm tall 130 diameter mate.

Made a start on the fuel system. Definitely not going to suffer from fuel surge now ? Walbro GSS341 in tank pump to feed a 2ltr swirl pot then a Walbro GSL392 in-line pump supplying juice to the fuel rail where it’s regulated to 3bar and any unused fuel being returned to the swirl pot then the...

Just read the whole thread, awesome! Cracking job mate, very impressed ?

You must have a 182? Yeah buddy sounds good to me. Cthank you. It is mate it’s only mocked up there to drill the holes from inside the engine bay before engine goes in. Cheers. I honestly didn’t plan on doing all this it just kind of evolved lol. Oil cooler kit came off eBay, it’s a...

They look nice mate, glad you decided to keep it.

Clutch, flywheel and gearbox fitted. Intercooler cut into the cross member and mounted, oil cooler mocked up to fit behind bumper/grille.

Forget that ones a filter isn’t it ?

Cheers buddy. Nowhere near the standard of yours but I’m happy with it. Cheers. Yeah it is, it’s Upol Raptor, you can get a traction additive for it to Thank you. Cheers. Its a 1m by 1m sheet folded in half one way so 1m wife by half meter deep.

Hi buddy, can you give me some advice on your fuel setup? I was planning on running my walbro 255 in tank to feed my swirl pot then a Bosch 044 to feed the rail. I see you have 2 pumps at your swirl pot so I’m just wondering what you’ve done? Build looks great ? Cheers.

Heat shield done, quite proud of this beast ?

Yes mate, left it about 15min to work then scrubbed the bad bits, washed it down then repeated until clean.

It’s reinzoplast sealant Head cleaned with oven cleaner and a brush then washed with brake cleaner.

I’ve already order the material for mine I’m afraid mate. The one in the engine bay you can keep the original and fit 2x30mm round grommets. I’ll take some pictures for you when I make the top ones.

After being robbed by Renault for some genuine gaskets the engine is built up, cambelt done, turbo fitted etc.

Not yet mate, that and the me221/maps is another 2k so I’m gonna use what I’ve got so I can hopefully get back on some track days this year then upgrade next year all being well.

Helix competition clutch kit, surface ground flywheel and new bolts. New bushes in Evol mount
