ull be lucky to get 20bhp from the mods mentioned, unless u have internal mods.
Also some rolling roads are low reading, as some are high!
What was the @wheels figure, and torque?
ah uv got cams, chip already! u could get the 2.0 bottom end on it then, or have ur lightened and balanced, and get it revving to 8k hehe!
Lightened flywheel wouldnt make that much a difference, as its already pretty light, i was gonna have mine done, and the bloke said not to bother as its...
Not sure about 30bhp. Standard willy lump is 150. 13bhp up on the valver lump!
As for tuning the 1.8 lump, iv done it, and i am happy, but it would have been a bit cheaper and easier to go for the straight swap with the willy lump.
Mine is about as fast as a standard willy, maybe a...
TBH unless u got some mods on it, and u pay the extra getting it unichipped i wouldnt bother with the chip. I had one after i had cams etc fitted, and it did nothing apart from raise the reve limit. and at the time my peak power was just under 7k anyway so no need to rev any further! Cost for...
pull them off by sliding them forward (i think) if not try backwards, if they dont come off pull them, as u need new clips anyway as they are different.
Twist the plastic cips out, the get to renault and buy some phase 2 clips, twist them in then stide the new bump strips on. jobs a good un!
they charge that to do headwork, but usually you give them a head and £300ish and they give it u back!
Then ull have the labour on top to remove the head and re- fit it with new head gasket! prob another couple of hundred or so!
yeah they are set to kent instructions, and it runs spot on. Just wondered if there may be a few horsies hiding in there than could be released!
What would the guy do on the RR to set it up then? bearing in mind he wont be touching the ECU. Just adjust fuelling using the PBV?
Cheers
When i had cams and verniers fitted they were setup to Kent manufactured recommendaion.
Is it worth getting them timed as best they can be? and would i need to take itto the RR?
I rang a guy before I had the work done, and he said he could set the car up for me once the engine was built...
out of interest whats the quickest 1.8 valver 1/4 mile time by anyone on here? You 2.0s can bugger off hehe!
Didnt Nick Read get 14.8? but on nos?
Craig.
exactly! so it costs u loads more in insurance, and u may be saving your own life if u have an accident!
I can see what they are saying with people who want them must be driving pretty quick to even consider rolling, but still.........
who u with night icon?
and reason for getting one would be this for one!
Matt Cony from the PGAC forum rolled his 205 Turbo and would be dead without it.
I Should be Dead - but live to tell the tale !
Well all I can say is I’m 1 lucky chap to be even typing this story up, let...
i wouldnt bother attempting to port and polish a head urself if u dont know how! its not as simple as mentioned above! BenR will tell u all u need to know!
