who am i kidding, i still f**king love it!!

you can turbocharge it for a couple of hundred quid if you go diy and old skool (2 head gaskets, copper spacer etc thats what we done on the 1.4 saxo turbo we built) but you still wont be able to run high enough boost to get decent power, 130bhp if your lucky!

.9 over book lol it rattles and bangs and knocks and clunks and clicks, need to stop being as rough as a badgers arse with it, was fine when i got it lol

nope no 8000k, standard bulbs. point and shoot is hard as fook at night lol aye cars pretty clean in person but its still a piece of shite

8000k looks fuking horrible my mate has them on his corsa! 4300k ftw!

aye, no bad xenons ablaze aye!

Didnt have a decent camera to hand but was out and bored so these will do lol!!

no bad

and also mark fish and hill power

in theory they are great, a supercharger that doesnt use engine power to run or need majour modification to fit BUT.. they just dont generate any preassure!

what modifications lol

ive been looking for a project car for ages now might turbo charge a 1.2 16v just to show its possible to run mega power with enough cash lol

nice guide mate, sound good yeah? how would a set of 6.5" sound amped without a sub as i dont really want to add the weight of a sub but the standard speakers sound w**k! lol

40mm hardly looks any lower on the dynamiques, id go for atleast 60mm

you can use a standard 1.2 16v turbo engine or convert a d4f to turbo but its only 100bhp hardly a decent conversion, and its not really tunable without massive work!

unless its been on an engine dyno then its not a proven 76bhp but assuming the same RR, same conditions etc then id say you;ll gain 5-7bhp if that. mine was RR'd at 82bhp but it was never RR'd before mods so theres no way to tell if i got a genuine 7bhp or not!

unfortunatly the 1.2 16v doesnt share any parts with the bigger engines so you cant really mix and match parts like you can do with some engines especially the older vauxhall engines. my mate had an n/a 1300 16v starlet SR and we fitted an inlet manifold from a corolla and advanced the...

i was a rocket in my old 1.2 16v, everynight was bonfire night in that thing lol fairly sensible with the 172, the odd blast now n then when its dry or when out with the lads! or when ive got a passat or some other shitty diesel sitting up my arse lol

thats mint, although id probably have raised it a bit so i could use spacers to make the wheels fill the arches

looks brilliant mate that front badge sets it off well. would have looked better if you had set the xenons ablaze!!!

congrats mate glad to hear its sorted!! now get it back to renault and demand your other 2bhp!!! lol everyone fancy another RR day now that were all gonna be running different exhausts? lol

yes but it was an engine built to run a turbo reliably, the compression ratio was designed for running boost, the gearbox and clutch were built to withstand the torque from the turbo, the pistons, rods, crank etc was all designed to run reliably at that power. the 1.2 16v engine was designed...

well mounts are the same, suspension is the same, driveshafts are the same so it all fits straight in no problem. UCH needs changed and decoded at renault once its up and running, your best bet is to buy a rear ended car and swap the lot over! its not the sort of thing my gran could do with...

the tce runs a tiny turbo with hardly any boost, you could swap all the parts over but its a lot of money for 25bhp, you could raise the boost slightly (i think but not 100% sure on the standard turbo spec) but even at that you wont get any decent gains and if you change the turbo for something...

thanks a million mate, i did think the fine technical details wernt that important as long as its roughly the right spec. but just thought id double check

i looked into 1.6 16v engine when i blew my old 1.2 16v up, same hastle to do a 2.0 16v engine as it is to do a 1.6 16v, all the same parts need to be changed. conversions are only worth it if you can do all the work yourself and even at that its a bit of hastle! as for supercharging or...

we turbod a 1.4 8v saxo for a couple of hundred quid!, its cheap if your handy with a spanner! i was going to do my old 1.2 16v for a laugh but never have the time these days

dont know too much about exhausts on the actual design side of things so to start with i need to know what size of pipework im looking to use for an engine roughly to this spec for a project im working on... supercharged 16v engine with around 130bhp at a guess and secondly i need to know...

done :) glad i could help

arnold clark renault about here are £65 hour labour so they will have charged 1 hour thats about right
