where did the discs come from? sounds like they might be wrong for the car

pagids dont stop as well as ferodo or mintex, and they cost more. Mintex are best value for money

has his rear hub got a spigot ring from a previosly fitted alloy on it?

older than me

have to taken the inlet manifold off or unplugged anything recently?

new waterpump time. All the 1.2 8v clios i've done recently have needed a new one actually

I have the snap-on verson of the pliers. Best filter tool Ive used (i have lots)

who did the belts?

wd40 on a scotchbrite pad, then let it get hot

that's the cost from renault to do a cambelt at the same time. Go to a specialist and you'll pay a bit over half that

i did this 4 days ago. Went for a Samsung 32" from tescos. 1080p, full HD £399 (after about a months research)

but the huge downside you're missing is you'll still have a second-hand engine after all that time and money. I can't see it happening for under £6k

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 you're utterly missing the point. chucking a s**tload too much fuel in is just a very lazy way to reduce EGTs when ignition timing is WRONG. you shouldnt have EGT problems with a rotrex. not like you have a bloody great turbo sitting in the exhaust

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 11.5 up most of the rev range (correct for a careful map) then just dips into 10s right at the top is what i'm informed the megane does. And comparing a custom, optomised map to a mass production map with very generic tuning contradicts...

it has a harmonic damper. It's a rubber section in the pulley that damps vibration. DrRollo's one fell apart (NOT his phase shifter as is repeatedly spouted), never seen another one have a problem

have you fitted the new gasket, and the washers?

sounds more like an air leak to me

wait for the k-tec one. use cheap filter socks for now

standard exhaust? standard map?

yeah, if they're doing the fitting, i'm sure Andy will do it for you

no not really, the gasket is bigger than the port. you can use it as a guide, but dont go to the edge, and get it nice and acurate. The huge advantage with an ITB manifold is you can see all the way through, so you can match it very well to the head

portmatching to the head is worthwhile. they're cast fairly undersized (much like the standard manifold)

when the mount/buffers are new, there's no gap ;)

burning just makes a mess, there's no need for it. hammer, and man the f**k up

place the bush between the jaws of the vice (not clamped) and hit it hard. 3 big blows should have it out

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172 PMSL. heard of bore-wash? there's safe rich, and there's just bloody wrong. Ignition timing is how you should be reducing EGTs. But then what do I know..... ;)

p**n. Want

421s and the big single TB works a dream

yup, do this, and run it in on a rolling road

as above, there's at least 5 off the shelf T28s that are all different, before you even start with making them "hybrid"
