Fogot about that one. Make sure you get a ribbed idler pulley.

Like that

I've got the PMS kit, very happy with it and everything required is there in the kit. If you get the Cup setup you need the alternator to go with it, I went with the PMS kit to save finding a decent Cup alternator.

Re: Phase 1 172 throttle camel advice Before anyone can really answer your question we need to know how many humps the camel has. One or two? Use the illustration below to see the difference.

It won't be any weaker. The (slightly) stronger boxes are the JC5

I've got a genuine Renault seal spare I can send it today, £7.50 recorded 1st class :)

Can't get on ebay at the moment. But if its the same as this then yes. http://www.rapidonline.com/electrical-power/12v-18ah-gel-battery-ev-range-haze-18-1124 If mine ever goes pop then I'll replace it with the gel one. I've got a solar trickle charger on there at the moment which seems to be...

I did have the ITB kit at one point. The ECU has gone to Stu for the supercharged sunflower and the ITBs have gone to a lad with a F4R Twingo 133.

Gripper themselves?

I've got that Haze one on mine. They do a gel one for a few quid more which doesn't mind being drained and recharged :)

ITG 60/67

I was thinking the same earlier. Also peak power is close to 7k.

If the above actually happens then that's great!

:dead: How did that happen?!

If you make your own mount for about £12 or so you can put the hole where you want it to raise it up.

I believe the BC are rebuildable too, they are also monotube like the AST but the BCs have bigger diameter, stronger shafts akin to the AST 2s. Larger range of spring rates available too. Not saying the AST aren't worth it but the BCs are very well priced for what you get compared with the rest.

It'll be interesting to see how well they retain the camber. Camber bolts can shift when subjected to potholes, kerbs, speed bumps etc. so I wonder whether these will too.

Any issues? I suppose the principles aren't any different as both are spinning with the engine and are producing boost.

Are the Powerworks and some of the JR kits not draw through? The injectors would remain next to the head but it would have the TB before the charger. With the charger needing to spin around 15,500 it'll most definitely need cooling! A bov is a simpler option, something like a uprated Bosch...

I'd be happy if it was around the 220bhp mark tbh. A bit more than I'd get if I go with ITBs but more torque (I'd hope it was around the 195/200lb/ft mark). Most importantly though its much, much cheaper. Especially if it'll run quite happily on the standard ECU which is something I need to...

If you drill the PCD on Scooby discs they have 295x24mm with a 57mm offset so even more calliper clearance.

Re: Ph1 172 Cheers dude :) Got my AST strut tops through from Cooksport. I'll get them fitted with the new bearings and strut bump stops. Then turn up the camber :)

You've got budget - Vmaxx. Midrange - Bilstein or BC. And top end - AST Then there's Weitec, FK, AP, Spax, GAZ. Reasonably priced but not something I'd go for. KW are decent but if you're paying out for the V2 then you may as well get AST

I see where you're coming from Chip. I was working off values from Minis with head work, Catcams and other breathing mods so they'd increase the VE.

In my 1st car (1.6 Escort) I came around a long sweeping bend at some speed. As I came around there was a Honda CRV in front doing half the speed limit, jabbed the brakes and the back end came right round. I ended up going completely sideways down the road with 1/2 the car going with traffic...

It should manage ok at 7000 pushing 400CFM. But no more really. As for power output I'm not certain. At that level 10PSI is possible with a 15% reduction pulley. It would basically put the charger at its 'happy' limits, the Mini guys push them a bit further. My only concern would be whether...

I'm hoping it'll be quite happy as the Eaton chargers are quite linear. I've seen setups with just a rising rate pressure reg to do the fueling

Stu is running over 300 on the sunflower with the standard ECU. Need to have a chat with Paul at RS Tuning as he mapped that. Probably because its a larger Rotrex and provides lots of air. The M45 might make it make power for longer than an N/A equivalent on the standard inlet. But on the...

Standard MLS gasket. I was thinking of fitting an Eaton charger where the alternator used to be and running about 8psi. If I use the standard M45 pulley (65mm) then it'll provide enough air to give 8psi at 7000rpm with the charger spinning at 13,500rpm. That's enough as the power drops off then...
