You can get power out of any n/a 4 pot tbh. You've just got to have deep pockets! Lol! The e30 m3 4 pot was very responsive to n/a tuning, with 300bhp+ achieved, but the rebuild intervals at this level of hp are quite frankly, horrendous. Unfortunately there is a lot of 'pub talk' hp figures...

f**k you stunt c**k.

It's under vacuum so it'll not pop out mate.

Yeah. Spray some wd40 in to act as a bit of lube for the o rings and it'll come out easier. Not absolutely necessary though.

Yeah it's achievable with the right bits. It can all stay mate, I'm not bothered. :up:

A good reliable 240bhp is achievable for around 5k mate. That's using proper components, not the wossner shite.

310bhp - 310lb/ft according to his spec list......

You'd need about 8-10k to build it mate.

Someone had your pants down then mate?

Lol you must do if your remotely serious on wanting a 9k limit! Built right though you'd be able to approach a real 280bhp n/a though.

Got it in one! Flol!

As in f4r? Get your arsehole greased if you do! It'll cost you £££££'s to build a 9k capability.

I know mate! It only became clear just how big the crownwheel is when I fitted it, or at least attempted to!! Lol! Die grinder to the rescue to relieve the casing. Lol @30mph!! You'll be on the limiter at 30! In 5th!

That's your crank sensor mate.

@bashracing has spoken! The gearbox is his and will soon be destined for his 182. :cool:

= ££££'s!

Nothing to update I'm afraid, but I have been in the garage! The time spent in there has been used doing some odds and sods, but nothing cup related. Here's a couple of pics for you! Yes that crownwheel is funking huge! The casings had to be modified to allow the diff to turn! Lol! A bit of...

Because vagina? Lol

Allegedly mate yes, but I can't confirm 100%

Seems a shame to sell it, but I'm sure you'll make the decision that's right for you.

It doesn't break gearboxes either. Well not as much as a turbo conversion does! :wink:

You still could do tbh. Just take the turbo off and run the charger instead. You'll be able to run more boost as your on low comp anyway aren't you?

If my R3 engine goes pop or doesn't impress I'll be in touch for one of your kits mate. :up:

Yeah I agree! The twingo will have a far better safety cell/ncap rating. Back in the day we used to go round for laps in my mates nova. It was a c20let converted nova with around 280bhp and it took to the air over a hump at one of the fastest sections on the nordschliefe! If it hadn't gone...

Mine *should* have a bit more power than this, and the weight is nigh on the same, so in theory mine will have a bit more than 211bhp/tonne. Proof will be in the mapping! From what I've seen the conversion is relatively straight forward. It'll be the wiring that will give you the most grief...

Confirmed mate. He did a walk round of the car in one of his YouTube uploads. It's a cracking lap that he's done tbf!

I can accommodate. :wink: You'll lose less hp as well as the transmission losses are reduced. Another bonus is that you could get a nice long 1st gear, with the rest all nice and close.

I think if you got them shot peened and case hardened they'd last a bit longer tbh. No offer of a guarantee though!

Does anyone want a run down of the cost of the gearbox parts that I have? These are genuine Renault items and I think it will give a good insight as to how much it can cost to carry out the most common repairs. When I say gearbox parts I mean gearbox parts list btw!

Cost wise you need to budget for around 3.5k to get them supplied, fitted and mapped if you were to opt for the ktec itb package for instance. Work wise it depends on how good you are on the spanners yourself. They aren't anything difficult to fit though. Advantages are more power and you get...
