Good point mate, i forgot all about the circlip popping out.

Quite likely a snapped cv joint get someone to look underneath at the shafts as you attempt to pull away see if the gear box hald is rotating. I accept no responsibility if someone is stupid enough to put there head under you wheels while you try to pull away, and your car jumps forward and...

One thing i would recommend is plumbing in some water cooling, garrett don't install there turbos with water jackets for no reason.

Mate any more problems and I'll be more than happy to give you a hand, I only live in sunderland and have a bit of first hand experience with turbo clios. :) Steve

Oh yeah, glad to have ya back Big G, x Hutchies rubbish (unless hes doing a 150mile round trip to help me pull the trophy engine to bits) :p

How about you organise Wills memorial run? as it seems to have fell by the way side.

Look at it as 3 pieces the pipe that injectors sit in, the fuel pressure regulator port and the pipe that the return fuel pipe connects to. Where the pipe with the injectors runs into the FPR port there should be a hole in the top of the pipe as you look into the FPR port, if it does then its...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 What I normally do is to pop into Kwickfit tell them I can get exaltos from some little cheap tyre fitters shop for about £100 and ask them to price match them normally get them for about £90-£100 (which admittedly isn't anywhere near as cheap as...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Darren get your self a boost controller fitted and then when your up for a bit of traffic light drag stripping just turn the boost down to about 10psi should be quick and alot kinder to your gearbox aswell. Obviously once you get into 3rd flick back...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 Ben get exaltos, mines been spot on with them fitted and I'm running about 20bhp and 60lb/ft more than you at the minute.

Kev's just putting his point across as he's actually been out in my car and knows how rapid it is from 50-130 as such he's in a very good position when voicing his opinion on the performance of a turbo charged clio trophy. Bec you sure it was a GT2? and that maybe it was a little bit later...

It was actually a sprint following a set of road works from 50mph to something which could'nt be diclosed on an open forum, which was why I was suspicious it could of been me in the earlier post. However I knew it wasn't a GT2 thats why I asked for more details. It's a combination of a...

I did have a little blast with a black 911 on Fri, but it wasn't a GT2 as it didn't have the the massive rear spoiler or the rest of the kit. It was the usual "I'll show him what a real cars like" followed by the puzzled look "why is he still behind me?" And whilst it's not running mega...

Nope that was too early for me as I never left Leeds untill 1720. Must be another Turbo Trophy picking on people. :)

I'd guess it's a PH2 rail as it hasn't got the FPR fitted (unless they've removed it) But as Whiteley says they look identical in appearance its only when you look at the fpr area you can spot the difference. If it is a PH1 rail there should be marks where the FPR was fitted and also on the far...

I'm not saying it was me but I do have a vague recolection of a porsche on the way home, and I wasn't really hanging around so...... We'll see what other details Becca gives

That sounds suspiciously like me. Had my car at RStuning on Fri morning and came up the A1 back to Sunderland on Friday teatime. Anymore info might help jog my memory.

Think we should have an old school shootout at brunters, turbos vs superchargers :)

Darren, It all comes down to how handy you are with spanners and what sort of engineering ingenuity you posses. When ever you pay someone else to do the work it's obviously gonna be more expensive. You only have to look at Scoff and his F4R turbo'd renault 5 knocking out 551bhp. It's been...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 You'll get a pm shortly

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 You'll get a max of 280 out of it as you'll run into the same problems as me and Ryan k, where the boost drops off in the higher rev range.

Whooaa, don't go saying a clio could out pace something like an M3, or we'll never hear the end of it! ;)

Looking good mate have done quite a few TD's on bikes there so know what a laugh it is.

You'll be surprised, theres some quick powerfull cars out there now.

Its an FR TDi dyno'd at 160 so it's not bad. TBH I told him you were an ignorant fook anyway. Might catch you out and about next weekend, if I can get my alternator sorted before then.

Thought it would be rude not to post up a spot mate, Car looked as nice as ever, my mate insisted on me letting you know that it was his diesel power letting him down and not his driving skills or his enthusiasim. LOL.

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 I had a drag race from 20 to something silly and pulled a couple of car lengths on a e46 m3. He was devastated before anyone starts spouting he wasn't trying. That was with 206bhp so would imagine you'd be able to hump them all over. Your only...

In normally aspirated form yes, however with the turbo set up I'm sure theres something to do with the breather arrangement. I was going to buy Andyrg's old ph1 engine, to build a low comp turbo on the block.When I mentioned it to Sean at ktec he told me it wouldn't work. The only turbo'd...

Heres a link for a vid that I posted in another thread listen to how slow it spools up before it comes on boost. It was quite impressive to watch in the flesh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxQU8r0ysk4

Re: 551 bhp renault 5 Heres a better video of it, it's running quite low CR and a large turbo so it takes a while for it to come on boost, But when it does WHOOOOSH :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxQU8r0ysk4
