Lol well its fast for a twingo/renault but if you are already in a modern super saloon or something its probably only quick. Yeah it handles very well, swapping out to all the rs133 items improved it but the rear arb made a big difference. It was pretty good on the GT/Clio 172 parts to be fair...
Long old day, but not as long as they used to be for me. Anyway I set off in the morning ready to a nice gentle drive up to see Chris at EFI Parts. All was going well until I was making some choo choo noises joining the m5, suddenly I had no boost at all :eek: A look in the mirror saw no smoke...
Right in for mapping at EFI tomorrow at 12.30, I really want to scrape the 300bhp mark without blowing up just to willy wave.
So what are your guesses?
Setup is the same as before but with a proper flow through fuel rail and a 19T hybrid turbo....
Not really had much time to do anything or much to do on this really. Replaced the oil cap as mine has been broken forever, found the correct part numbered item on ebay so got that. I was gifted a stack of bits that included a decent sized air filter which looks tidy, it's from a mk7 golf but...
I'm sure I saw a fb group pop up recently covering the south of wales (quick look and I think its for CSOC?) . Not in wales myself but about 20min from the border.
Spent a lot of time watching Motive Video recently though a mate of mine put me on to the them years ago as they used to use the runway where he lived. Technical builds and info on a few cars (jap) , They currently have one for their GR yaris which is interesting, especially as they don't just...
Physically yes I think it would be straightforward using the correct parts. Will probably (95% sure of this) need the subframe notching
Wiring and ecu side you would want the rs133 stuff to run it.
Managed to finish off the fuel side of things. The Cooksport fuel rail is a nice bit of kit though the injector clips are a pain to fit to it, I ended up fitting them from the underside (in case anyone else looks here and has an issue) Re plumbed the fuel lines with some 8mm high pressure e10...
Would it benefit in terms of what? making more power?
better flow is always beneficial if its a restriction. Will it be a gain enough worthy of getting it removed, having the map checked and tweaked and then sorting things come mot time.
It would be worth firing EFI an email to see if they...
This is a 19T Hybrid so built and not off anything as such, a touch bigger than the 250rs item but you can get them or the 225/r26 turbo made into these.
The last update for 2021! I've had the car back just over a year now and its gone through a huge amount of changes even though visually you wouldn't know it. Its basically a completely different car. Quite the project when you look back at it but its been really fun to build, it has saved my...
off topic but do you have any videos of the car in action and second question, why did you notch the rods for tagged bearings? less chance of spinning them?
