im having trouble keeping the temp down in the turbo beast, around town. im using the rsi rad on it at the moment, its def seen better days. as im looking at having to buy a new one anyway. does anyone know if the 16v or the williams rads are bigger in size?? if they are, i'll fit one of them...

ive just finishd making a custom mount that bolts onto the block behind the alternater instead of bolting onto the head, cuz i kept snapping it when i put me foot down. also made it out of 1/4'' steal, so should strong enough. lol.

get yourself a haynes manual for the volvo 440 turbo and the clio rsi, layout both engine wiring diagrams next to each other, and compare, this is all i did, works fine (as long as you know how to read em').

nice, you not adjusting the torsion bar then?

unlucky mate, could of been worse tho. my handbrake is so shite, i dont bother to use it! just leave it in gear.

well i have an rsi engine for sale if anyone is intrested?

its not coming out the gasket tho, its coming out the air filter.

right me 'j' reg valver that ive been using as a run around while ive been building up my turbo has a problem. when ive been driving it hard, engine oil p*ssess out the the k&n air filter and goes everywhere and stinks! know the engine does burn oil very slightly anyway, so what im wondering is...

i used my rsi pump and mount along with the alternater and mount dave.

lol, cheers, glad i you all like it, i certainly do! yeah i cant wait to take it to the pod, im gunna be at usc again this year, hope to see some of you there.

cheers everyone. im from oxford. remember your car tom from the weston meet 2! ive lost count of how much its cost, its taken loads of time and effort tho! i'd never do it again. but looking at it now, it all seems worth it.

cheers. the main problem i had was the power of the engine, ripped the top engine mount out of the head the first time i took it out!! so i got it tig welded to the head all the way round, seems ok now.

well about 170bhp has been predicted by the guy from a volvo forum, who reprogrammed my ecu. its gunna be tested march at amd. heres the spec so far; *1996 renault clio rsi, phase 2 *16 valve bonnet *tinted windows *modified front bumper to incorperate front mounted intercooler...

finished putting my engine back together after having the head ported and polished, so thought i'd post some pics.

what about my beast?? although its not a valver, sorry.
