Remap is needed for sure, idle can be raised to suit but with them i expect it will never be perfect, also are you 100% sure they are timed in correctly? Paul

Overspooling the turbo!

You really cant see anything different apart from the filter setup and the intake pipes from the body. The rest is hidden :)

^^ Cheers mate Just a quick update, the block has been re-bored, rods have arrived and the pistons have been ordered to spec, the block was bored and honed perfect to the pistons been used. Next few weeks should see some interesting progress!

Renault really should have fitted bigger injectors in these! 95% duty STOCK! This was after a couple of runs but shows the safe potential is not alot :(

Try not to run the car much before you come here mate. I will run the car in on the dyno to try get the rings to seal on the bores :)

cheers mate, yes jimbo's car is in our ad too :)

Yeah them too :)

Yes and at a guess 260lbft (it makes 240lbft now with a 6k limit and 275hp) I think it will need a set of 428's in there too, or maybe 421's

No worries mate. Good to see that all three of you said the same thing after the test run lol something like "fu3k me!"

Oh and to update the thread.... The spare engine is ready to go to the machine shop for a rebore and hone and a set of custom pistons. Then Ben will be doing the head and manifold while i build the bottom end. Next few weeks it should be somewhere near the 400 mark :)

Haha I do see where you mean now and it's not sat like that now :rasp: :)

Cheers mate, paint yours :D

Yep!

There's space for angelworks stickers, just didnt get the artwork from ben in time (my fault) @M8EDJ The bumpers fit pretty crap yes, as per most phase 1's but they did need adjusting. Thanks for the constructive comments

BORES NEED HONING

For a basic map on the 1x2 it's £295+ VAT inc a before and after

Each and every car will make different power and i can guarantee not 1 will make 172ps. Even though dyno dynamics have built in correction if you use the intake probe it still does not correct what the ecu is doing, if the intake temps rise the timing is pulled and fuel is added. usually you can...

So far so good, not had the car setup yet but the fronts are on just shy of 2 degrees and it handles really well. Once i get the other bits done it will be seeing plenty of track action!

I assume you just need the actual PWM valve to be controlled by the ECU? There's no reason why the N75 from the VAG 1.8t's or Megane RS wont work. Paul

Nice one mate

About bang on stock power!

P.s. comparing other dyno results not from other dyno dynamics is pointless. This is only about 4-5hp down compared to most stock 172's on our dyno

This car was running under advanced and there was space for about another 4 degrees IMO. This was in turn causing high EGT's (didnt measure but it was hot!) Once the intake temps rise the ecu will pull even more ignition and dump fuel! Seen a couple like that recently and they were a different...

Rude not to :)

:D Cheers mate

Because they need a turbo that spools very very quickly to make the torque and clean the smoke up

3.5 maybe. Ben's your man there though. Compared to other upgrades that alot of power per £
