box about 40kg head bout 20kg bottom end 100kg? ancillaries 30kg?

I sell Wossner or Iapel forged pistons for £450/set. Ive also got some std USED pistons in good nick if you were intrested.

just so you know.. The Renaultsport cup manual rack IS THE SAME as a 1.4 manual rack. Same turns lock to lock, visually the same. I know this is fact as I have one, and have compared it to valver and willy racks. The williams rack is the "quickest" of them. you can run it without the PAS...

from a dci...PP7 I think the code is. I have no experience of them, so cant comment on durability... Its Renault, nuff said!

a Sadev 6 speed is alot closer ratio, it will top out at about 120mph depending on the final drive. Ive got a mk1 clio coming in for fitting of a 6spd from a Laguna, not for another 4 weeks, but I will post up on progress.

I meant dimensionally longer :p

the gears are integral on the input shaft, so you cant mix and match so to speak. the 197 'box, im right in thinking its the same as a megane 6 speed (PP7?)?? Imagine it will be... They arent any longer than a JC5 suprisingly, I compared one side-by-side a month or so back.

sorry pal, just realised you were on about a 172. do any of the parts look new-ish..i.e wrong ones maybe used.

i doubt it very much, i think it would bust the rack first. an easy way to check though would be to see if it gives the same travel when turning left and right. why will the steering wheel only go on one way??

hmm wouldnt have thought so, but couldnt say for sure. Wrong steering control rods possibly?? how far out is it?

Are you sure nothings bent? And also are you sure the steering wheel will only go on in one position???

aye it will be fast enough like! It makes the same-ish torque as a 220bhp ITB williams I built, and thats brutally fast! plus you'll have the orgasmic turbo-torque-surge with this! NA is still the way thought :p

137bhp on paper from the factory.

no probs! if you want more go, theres plenty of possibilitis, just depends on how much u wanna spend. pointless going too stupid imo loose the fun factor once the thing becomes harder to drive. 250bhp/250-275lb.ft is plenty in a FWD car.

very true very true.

Inlet manifold pressure is inlet manifold pressure....1bar from a T25 is the same as 1bar from a GT28RS. Pressure is resistence to flow, so, so long as a turbo is providing enough flow, the pressure created is the same. The difference in engine performance at the ssame boost with different...

I would say it would be fine with a 1bar so long the mapping was fine and the I/C is sufficient. Theres lots of stock engines with circa 9:1 Cr and cast pistons. you would be best of just trying to swing the cam timing on the std cams... If you want to spend out on specific cams, Catcams...

Couldnt agree more, without any of us testing, its pure speculation. I know on a williams it doesnt do s**t (im talking fettling a std body, not fitting an enlarged item) as ive tested them back to back. As for a larger throttle, your only going to gain peak bhp if a smaller (i.e. std) its...

you get noticeable results on all of them if you ask me...RS or non-RS.

make a one piece system? Do you have facilities to test it on an engine? Mini-valver... Bike bodies are in daft diameters though lol. DOnt get me wrong, they have their uses,,,,but they arent on the top of the list for me, personally. Having said that, we are using some on a 5.6l V8 ive...

Thats typical of a Supercharged application, as the process has a lower adiabatic efficiency when compared to a Turbocharger.

I think you'll be fine upto 240-250bhp when suitably mapped, with say 1-1.1bar..maybe more. the only way you are going to find out is to try it with a few dyno runs. I think the pistons will be fine...your clutch will limit you before the pistons will imo. Did you buy this from Oxford?

"suck it and see"

carbs are tic toc technology, why anybody would fit them in 2008 to a car is beyond me. Even TB's from a bike are a faff. after youve got the manifold sussed, you ideally want them spaced, then make a linkage to suit, then have longer trumpets made, imo your better of just paying the extra...

Get a set of williams discs/calipers with ferrodo 2500 pads...you wont go wrong with this set-up. Best thing you can do with any brake system is make sure its in tip top form..

nah lol Im genuinly intrested.

come on Danny lad, i want pics!

Has it got a map sensor fitted,,,,i cant see one ikn the pic.
