Lol Chun, I meant apart from you nutters that are - or will be - on the email circular list Joe.. no probs Brun.. got the spare lump stripped today so will take some shots tomorrow and post.

just a thought.. 8bar of boost from a turbo is about equivelent to a knock event detonation.. so.. when you get the ceramics etc.. I might plan on running a higher boost.. the calculations show that I can have 1650 BHP... lol.. and... use 135 gallons of fuel an hour...

lol.. the difference is the detonation is that.. DETONATION - almost instand conversion of energy.. as opposed to the steady , controlled burn used normally... if.. you can design a system to hold it together, and tame it.. then great but I think it would weigh about the same as a...

Would some of you guys be interested in pics of the engine strip and build for the turbo conversion.. ? I will post some if any interest. Joe.

ok, its simple. jack the front of the car up and place on secure stands.. on a flat surface.. have someone lay underneath and firmly hold the roadwheel. whilst someone turns the steering wheel rapidly from side to side look for play in the track rod end balljoint (shouldnt be any in...

Dont try to compare nos power to turbo power Sir (when looking at pistons) Nos runs a lot cooler. Pistons will be the weak point, not the block, the block is incredibly strong. Weak points will be, clutch, head gaskets, pistons. Joe.

Thats great Nick. I made the spreadsheet work from mph per 1000 as most are quoted that way. many thanks m8 Joe.

Yep, hopefully Joe. Mail me offline Sir.. I may be able to help. Joe

sri bout the spleeling.. me fingers are exceled out

forgot the bleeding image again lol.. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/captainslarty/172rx4box.jpg

Just writted a gear closeness converter and grapher.. ceck out the image of the Scenic RX4 box compared to the 172.. the lower lines are closer ratios the lower of the lower lines (if that makes sense ?) is the closer ratio.. the upper lines are mph at each gear change.. I would...

it might just be that only a minimal amount of the clio owners would really want that ??.. I ant knocking it.. whatever pulls yer chain.. but I wouldnt want colour coding on my Flame Sport. It can look a bit.. err... max power ish..... need I say more lol Joe

no probs Tim.. if you can get a photo copy and mail it to me, I would be very grateful.. all costs paid by me (of course) Cheers Sir. Joe

what ??.. either yor track rod ends were knackered AND the rack is knackered.. or.. they knackered the rack doing the track rods .. one would presume that any competent garage could diagnose where the wear is ???.. WHERE exactly is the play.. and how do you define it ? Joe

LOL Paddy... hope u r well m8.. and yer better half ! Joe..

the tea with the brekky will be fine.... lol Joe.. (Another way to bump it !) hopefully every 172 that goes on, will the owner please give me a copy of the graph for research. ? Joe

It was warm today though.. nice one dood.. Joe.. (ps - its nice to see realistic figures for a change) Tim, btw, have you got a graph plot of the torque m8 ??.. I need a few to average out for the turbo mods ??. Joe.

they cant even follow a standard for 2 graphs.. they are both showing increases(see the box which says original in it on the plot) 174 I dont think so... note there is no temp reading for air (atmospheric) , or pressure reading. DIN standards for bhp quoting say a tem of 20 deg C and a...

that must be at the flywheel, which is about right for a 172. Joe
