Super Unl is 97+. I have to use Optimax and octane booster at every fill up on my Soop because its an import and the ECU is mapped for 100RON. If I run it on normal unleaded at the boost Im running it will destroy the engine.

Its VERY unlikely you will feel any difference by putting in Optimax as opposed to Super or normal unleaded. You only think you feel more power / responce is because you are expecting it. The higher RON rating suits jap cars where there ECU are programed for 100+ron which is available...

Dont worry about it, I had 8 points when I was 17. Actually reached 12 at one point (@ 22) and had to grovel to the magistrates in order to keep my licence.

28(ish).

If you cant stay calm behind the wheel of a car/van, why the f**k are you doing it as your job?! I had some prat throw a mental at me about a year ago. Was driving my other halfs AX. Went round a roundabout (I was in the correct lane), the idiot to the left of me as we pulled onto the...

Water under the seat usually means the rubber door seals.

A pressurised airbox is much better than a cone type filter, and creating a ram-air effect to it is even better.

DD are not trading anymore. They had a break in a couple of weeks ago, which resulted in alot of items going missing. Because of that they are not trading for the foreseeable future.

Ah! Well, youll make £70 for doing nothing then!!! :D

If you want to double your money instantly, Ill give you £140 for it.

Get yourself down to http://www.rtoc.orgwww.rtoc.org its the owner club for all Renault turbos, but 90% are 5 turbo owners. Around 1200 members now, and a very helpfull site. £10 to join up for a year, and you can pay on-line. The amount of info you will get from people on there will mean you...

Fit a battery off the diesel too. :D

Bubbles, no, your correct. But dont dispair, you can tune an engine with a carb just as easily.

Sorry, I dont read any of those p**n mags any more. They are fully of s**t these days and over half the mags are just adverts for sex chat lines.!

Not strictly true, standard boost can vary from 7-10psi, from car to car. Overboost cut out is set at 1 bar (around 15psi) standard.

I think everyone has pretty much hit the nail on the head. Standard it will be close upto around 60 I think. Rolling acceleration and top end the 172 shouldnt have any problems in pulling away. Modified. Well, has anyone really modified a 172 yet, I mean properly, not just a back box and...

My god, what is that thing!? Im afraid that looks just as tacky as flamer kits do. Fair enough it may sound like a dump valve, but my point is, it isnt. the daddy (whatever your name is), Im not doubting you at all. I know dump valves for diesel turbos are the same as for a petrol engine...

Im not doubting you have one on your turbo diesel as I know that can be done. Its the dump valve on an NA car thats impossible. Having one on an exhaust is daft, it wont do anything, apart from melt.!!

You cant, full stop. Not possible. On an NA engine the air is sucked into the engine, so there is no pressure to release, which is what the dump valve does. On a turbo engine (you know this) the air is forced in, therefore is under pressure. When you lift your foot from the accelerator (on...

HA HA, what are you talking about! You cant have a dump valve on a non-turbo car! Dump valves dont release waste gases either. They would need to go on the exhaust to do that, they release air pressure in between the inlet manifold and turbo.

Not true, Ive held a ZX9 upto 120, accelerating off a roundabout until be both had to slow down. I also know what bikes are capable of, I had enough of them, my last being a tuned ZXR750. Off the lights the ZX9 would be looking at 0-60 in about 2.5 seconds, Id be looking at about 4.5-5.0...

Ben P, The chances are hes already a convicted car thief and on probation (or his last chance!). If he gets caught again he gets locked away.!? Hence the reason his parents dont want the pigs involved, they are hardly likely to want to see him locked up. He could also face charges of...

PMSL.!!!! What planet are you on chief? :p

Well, stick me down for the 3 litre class. Mines pushing well over 300 ponies, more when I turn the boost up.

Who was the chap on here that drove the Brabus Smart car saying it was well fast???????? 0-60 in 12 seconds! Top speed - 75mph! Well fast! :D

You could run 2 subs if you can switch both of the channels to mono. If you want to bridge the channels and run 2 subs it will need to be 4ohm stable bridgable. To Bridge the channels to to take the + from one channel and - from the other. This is usually marked out on the speaker...
