I reckon theyd look sweet on a valver though, only if it was lowered mind you.

125????? Put your foot down mate, you should see the high side of 130 no probs! 145mph down hills :D

Yep, the 1.8 cams will work with the 2.0l bottom end, as far as Im aware theyre have identical profile, the 2.0l ones just have slightly higher lift.

Keeping the injectors in there origona positions is a good idea in that it makes it easyer to install TBs, but in this position youll be loosing power, the further the injectors are from the inlets the better, but I think that only applys at high rpm. The best set up would be to use the ones in...

Really hate to say this, but Im relly coming round to the benefits of RWD over FWD driving round in an old clapped out 2.0l Sierra. It just goes where you point it, no matter how hard you put your foot down. Also starting to enjoy the lazyness of the engine, not having to change all the time to...

Yeah, thats the next thing I was gonna suggest, lol.

Yep, the ECU limiter should kick in around 7200.

Sounds like your coolent temp. sensor is on the blink, this is what the ECU uses to control idle speed, new ones only about 8 quid from BBPT.

Well redline is 7 grand and the limiter should be at around 7200 i think, I wouldnt make a habbit of going to 8 grand, youll bust a conrod or a rod bolt, very messy.

Get a 1.9D crank from scrappy for 40quid, get it lightened and balanced, then get some williams pistons, second hand or from Renault. Should be able to get it rebuilt as a 2.0l with the leftover money and get a Hill Power chip to run it.

Just wondered if the guy I raced down the Eastern Road in Portsmouth today was anyone off here? Not sure what engine size it was, new shape and just said 16v on the side but he caught me off guard from the lights but as soon as we were moving it was level all the way to 80mph till we backed...

When I get my valver back on the road, it should be approx. 300bhp/tonne, no kidding! Cant wait to race Nicks turbo up the strip.

Mk3 Fietsa 1.1 Popular Plus Clio 16v Seirra 2.0 16v - to get around in whilst I fix the Clio

I agree with you, 2live, as Im going the 2.0l, TBs, Head and Cams route too, but mainly coz I dont believe in forced induction. But theres no way youll ever keep up with a high boost 1764cc, BBPT reckon good for 300bhp and 400bhp in bursts!!:D What you want is the above spec. with N2O.

Someone told me yesterday that V-twins have to run upto 120 degrees BTDC of ingnition advance. Is this true?

lol, oh yeah, soz. Didnt see that bit of txt, was off the edge of my screen. Silly me :oops:

I think the Clio ways quite a bit more than 600kg. 137bhp in a 600kg car would give 228bhp/tonne. Which would be Evo VI kinda performance.

Good point! It will redline in 5th with NOS, which is getting close to 150mph, but I dont wanna push it right to the limiter.

As far as I know my cars standard, but I think it may have had work done it it as it does seem quite fast. 142mph was the indicated speed, so I might just have a dodgy speedo. 142 is scary until your 17 year old brother goes past at close to 200mph on yours dads Fireblade, unlicenced and...

Ive raced several RSis as there seems to be quite a few round my way. You shouldnt have any problems what so ever.

Nick, What about swaping the pullys for lighter alloy ones, but keeping the same sizes. Surely this would help with pick-up and may even realese a few bhp?

Nick, How do you stop the amp overheating when its in an enclosed space like that? Also, what size sub is that? and what size is that box?

I do road rallying with a mate in a 1.6 205 GTI, and yes it is old, roll cagged, bucket seats/harness and pencil beam spot lamps. And we NEVER break the speed limit, I mean who needs to when each stage is planned out so you can do it at 30mph not including the time to work out the...

If the pedal is just juddering when you brake hard and not at any other times its just the ABS working. Where do you go road rallying? What club you in? You compete in all nighters?

Ben mate the Race Logic TC systems are the b****cks, they dont work on ignition cut but use injector cut instead, they gotta be good as F1 teams use them or a derivative anyway.
