just wot i was thinkin

depends wot damage has been done. itll be cheaper 2 find new engine (£200ish maybe less) and just replace whole lump (or 19 16v and swap ancillaries), then rebuild urs 2 a higher spec if it isnt 2 bad, or just sell it....

f**k cars (for the moment at least!), buy a sh*t load of okey cokey, and have urself a bender of a wkend!!

erm, the williams is a clio, so is the RT.....see wot im sayin

a r/r calculates power at the fly by a run-down test. this is where on deceleration (clutch in) it measures the resistance of the gearbox, compared to just the rollers rotating. not all r/rs can do this tho so it isnt just randomly generated!!

how much have u got 2 spend?? same principal with any engine: power is proportional to air induced. uve got a good starting point with a 4 valve head. increase flow of head (higher lift cams+headwork, T.Bs), increase CR (head skim, forged pistons), sort fuelling ignition (reprogramable...

u cant tell if its oil or water?

battery should be 13ish. charge it

u need a 2l crank and pistons, ur block bored out to 82.7mm to fit 2l pistons, and block "modified" to take 2l crank

lol (hope ur jokin BTW!!)

are the heads different? if they are (i.e. 2l has better flow) ud be better off swapping the whole engine to get decent gains. in theory, swapping the head alone would be better than swapping bottom end (providing the new 1 flows better) than the swapping bottom end, since power/torque is...

how many billions do u reckon u have? if its say 1-2, they might just touch it up. count them so u can give a more accurate description ;)

was the pipe painted?

is the battery properly charged?

maybe, but how much will renault charge for something u could do urself? its up to u m8, if u think its gonna be hassle for u 2 do, take it 2 renault

DIY. its not the hardest of jobs!

but this is typical yank!! far better to use power = (2.pi.N.T)/60 P=power(watts), N=rpm, T=torque(N.m) not from some sh*te american site!!!

By definition, POWER = FORCE x DISTANCE ÷ TIME Using the example where a constant tangential force of 100 pounds is applied to the rotating handle at a 6" radius, we know the force, so to calculate power, we need the distance the handle travels per unit time. Power = 100 pounds x distance...

torque is work done power is RATE of work done

wheres that at m8?

i stand corrected!!:oops: (but at least i admit it!!!)

well if ur talkin bout lap-times, driveability is gonna be comprimised. a race engine needs max power/torque to be further up rev-range, therefore driveability is comprimised. but that isnt of much importnace, cos u very rarely drive round town in a flat out race car. anyway power bands are...

its for OBD2! On Board Diagnostics! not remapping

just to point out that turbo engines dont have an inlet vacuum when off boost. ive said it before, if ur gonna get 1 of these, have a look in DT motorsport catalogue. they sell an "adjustable fuel pressure regulator" for 40 odd quid. its EXACTLY the same!!!!! probably made by the same people...

doesnt tell us much about the mapping tho does it?

ive no idea wot the grp N ECU does. id imagine it will incraese max power if it gives gains further down rev range, but depends wot standard map is like

a road map isnt for max power, no. but wots the point in goin 2 the trouble of re-mapping and not goin 4 max power?

"a comprimise between performance,economy and drivabilty under light throttle positions." ALL throttle positions

the map on an ECU gives the fuelling and ignition timing required for an engine run. the criteria for each is different depending on how much power u want to produce. a MAP is a cross reference grid. it has 16 rpm sites on the x axis, and 16 load sites on the y axis. each site contains the...

get a valver and fully re-build it. itll be sweet and quick ;)
