this was a new one, as it had the big 18inch alloys on it. not sure wat reg no it was tho jimbo

ok, heres my results for my 19 16v; 30-70 6.75secs with a stop watch(timed 3 times over same bit of road) mods= gasflowed head, kent cams, standard ecu(zorst n filter) havnt tried 40-100 yet as i was having sum fun with an audi s3. jimbo

just had a close encoutner of the s3 kind. deserted dual carriageway, and the pleb in the s3 sat on me arse round the the roundabout. to cut a long story short, by 120 smiles an hr, he was no more than 2 car lengths in front of me!! much to my suprise. and he was going for it, cus he was using...

much better. ur as bad as CNN-never get the facts rite jimbo

once the engines reached max power, the clutch is dipped and the load/resitance from teh gbox slows down the rollers. thats how they determined the trasnmission losses. for each car it was different, not a set %age. the computer grpah first showed the power at the wheels, then once computed...

19 valver. my car is in the rite hand picture at the top. i was the car before rays went on the rollers jimbo

i ran my valver, and got the following; 147bhp at 6644rpm 121lb/ft at 6201rpm 115bhp at the wheels that was with stage 2 head but standard ecu. seemed as tho standard ecus ruled the roost. i got the highest of all the 1.8s on the day, and its never even been to an engine tuner like hill...

first thing would be to do an oil and filter change.then go n rag the arse out of it! jimbo

a decat on the f7p engine releases the following 137bhp---->>141bhp 116lb/ft---->>119lb/ft thats all taken from renault when they released the original 19 16vs in france without cats. with a chip ur looking at no more than 5bhp tops. induction kits are poo(nice sound, but thats...

the megane head still uses 32mm valves like the williams head, jsut got different spec cams in it. jimbo

yeah ive had a set up like this for the past 2yrs in my valver. i fed the lead thru the bulkhead and into the airbox/sealed air filter, and screwed it directly beneath the heater controls on the 19. works a treat. with induction kit, underbonnet temps can reach 50degrees on a cruise, wile sat in...

im after the speeds achieved in each gear of the following cars, as close as possible plz, also state the revs; phase2 19 16v clio 16v clio williams megane 2litre coupe gt turbo the reaosn im asking, is that im gunna be 2litre-ing my beast soon, and thinkin of swapping in a gearbox thatll...

nah, mines not a willims engined 19, jsut got the 1,8 tuned to williams-ish power. but im hopefully gunna be going 2litre sumtimes in the next few months. ive got the williams stickers on, so it makes all the differenc!!!!!!!

i got a 19!:D jimbo

u cant wrap cast exhaust manifolds, as they tend to melt after about 20mins of hard drive!!!! u cna only wrap stainless manifolds jimbo

the bolts r dun up quite tite, but a 15mm socket and ratchet gets them undone in no time jimbo

the 2litre and 1.8 litre con rods r exactly the same size, only the crankshaft is different, as well as shorter pisotns. renault do not make oversize pistons available for the f7 series, so the only alternative our expensive forged items. jimbo

the engine aslso uses the other fuel injection sensors to determine fuel deleivery, msot notably lambda sensor, as this detemrines whether the engine runs rich or lean, and either adds fuel or removes it. lambda then runs open circuit wen throttle is floored as the engien runs on bass maps does...

rito, i understand what ur saying, but wouldnt a chip only be effective at full throttle? cus wen the engine isnt running WOT, fuelling is relied on the lambda and other associated sensors, so the fuelling should be fine durign nomrla driving? only a finer tuned based map for WOT? or am i...

after coughing up 215quid for kent cam regrinds and lube(kent sports injection cams) for the 16v, and spedning all afternoon fitting them, ive gota say im unsure as to what to think. contrary to what others have said, the idle with these cams installed is complety fine, runs jsut a smooth as b4...

jsut changed my order from piper to kent cams for my 16v as they wer cheaper!! has any1 had any experience with these cams, what r they like, do they idle badly? thanks jimbo

yeah itl fit in fine. the origianl 19 16v battery is a 500amp jobbie, and thats huge, so i wud have thought the clio would be the same. also think about fitin a diesel starter motor, the engine wud spin at about 1k rpm just on starter!!!!!!!!!! get the bugger goin in any condition! jimbo

yeah, i bought a 595amp lucas jobbie from motorworld. works amazingly well! turns over like its on ecstasy! get the biggest u can find! jimbo

anybody had experience with this stainless steel exhaust system, as ive jsut ordered one for 260quid for my valver. had any problems with em? jimbo

back when the orignal f7p came out in the 19, the recommended oils wer 15/20w50 mineral oils. today they recommend semi-synthetic, or for total protection fully synthetic oils. i used mobil 1 0w40 in my valver at 86k miles. ran happily on it, jsut cost heaps for top ups!! so i stick to regualr...

ok, rite, heres a challenge to see who has the fastest car on the board. im not talking 0-60, im talking real driving conditons. heres the challenge; get from a steady 40mph to 70mph as fast as u can. but make sure u do it from a steady 40mph, not accelerating thru it. this is to simulate...

im gunna be getting a new exhaust for the beast as soon as i get some cash, so im thinking of getting a k-tec jobbie, or one from bb. has anyone got any experience as to which exhaust has the best quality and most bang for your buck? jimbo

if the thread gets stripped, then id be more concerned about the bottom end, i.e. having swarf munching the psions, scoring the block, etc. for a 100% job, take the head off and inspect the walls of the cylinder for any scoring. ur best bet wud be to buy another cylinder head. ask paul mitchell...
