I went and checked back on my original build thread, the rear seats I mention in the video actually weighed in at 19kg each! I removed all of it and weighed it back in the day (see here) 67kg of weight was removed from the car so I've basically gone back to that. A lightweight battery and seats...

The UK's fastest Twingo Challenge. Whilst I'm aware its not a supercar slaying machine it is pretty spritely, so I've challenged myself to have the UK's quickest quarter mile Twingo mk2, a 1 horse race against myself maybe? It should be a good laugh and using a Draggy and eventually/hopefully...

Spiking will be the actuator but its pretty inherent in all smaller turbos, you will struggle to eliminate it completely running manual control. Old school lag slag turbos have less of an issue as they spin up slower and things react faster. Modern ecu's have lots of strategies in place to...

a little bit of sex wee just came out!

Hopefully not lol. If I get it sorted ill bring it along. Drop me a pm a few days before hand to remind me (y)

on a Clio? I've got an old version of clip that I haven't dug out for a while but it only worked on Clio's nothing newer. I will see if I can get it working again

I've added some speed holes...... well its more a hope it may help, the back on the car gets quite light and skittish at speed, the last car I had this on was my old supercharged Clio which could also do double motorway speeds with little effort. I did it to that, and well I think it helped. The...

So you gain power running it? I've been thinking of getting one for my Twingo f4rt just to keep intake temps screwed right down but will definately consider it if i can gain a few bhp too (y)

Poo sounding F4rt noises, always thought they sounded abit flat and off, like the old sr20det in a 200sx. Still half decent for a Twingo (y)

I spent some time putting together an intro vid for the Twingo, just trying to cover a lot of the questions I get asked regarding it and giving a little bit of info if you wanted to do the same/similar thing. Its long and poorly edited and probably misses most of the info you want but here it...

ive had a dodgy pre cat lambda ruin a cars drivability and fail to the point of stopping it running so fingers crossed its as simple as that for you (y) EDIT, even found the post and thread from 2014 https://turborenault.co.uk/threads/clio-182-trophy-back-to-oem-ish.569/post-123736

this is my old 182 with a brand new pre cat sensor in for reference, seems to be reading a lot quicker and more accurately than yours

the core (without end tanks) is roughly 220 high 550 wide (y)

The one pictured is designed for a carb and wont be suitable at all. I've never seen a fuel filter on a uk 172 but adding one shouldn't be too hard, take the fittings and filter hanger off something in a scrap yard and make it fit

The seagulls at work made it look like the twingo had been at a bukkake party so I gave it a clean down. Looks OK but could do with a professional going over. I absolutely hate cleaning cars, so much effort. It always looks red in pics too, though it's more metallic burgundy? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Defo, not just for the top speed or cruising revs buy you can see what it's like for gearing 1st to 4th. Any shorter and it would be totally useless

It's has indicated in excess of 140kph 😉 on a private airfield. I let up before the car did, gets a little brown trouser when you click what you are doing and what you are in.

Found this awesome comparison video randomly on YouTube.... showing what an old pretty brisk Tuned Twingo GT goes like against one with a bigger engine in it...

Cheers, i enjoy the figuring out and fixing side of things (plus the building) gives me something to think about. Hopefully ill have no little issues left in a week or so making it feel like a near factory car/conversion. Like most of my parts from the build they are from a very good friend of...

WOW its like a new car again, hello Mr limiter 😂 I can confirm that the new pump has cured another issue i didnt really notice. I have lots of power and it revs right round now where I used to shift when the power felt like it was flattening out. Clipped it a few times this morning without...

Is the 200 tb a direct replacement? Could cause you more issues if not.

It looks like I may of had another fault but not really realised. Recently I've kind of thought the car, though still fast was a little flat. I put it down to the ambient temps being higher and just generally getting used to the power as you do. Yesterday whilst doing a pull it hesitated then...

I'll likely decide on the day tbh 👍🏻tough choice though, super cool Dauphine if the weather is good or pretty brisk Twingo if I want to blow off some steam.

love this van man, and the decals on the back lol well done (y)

Clip is Renault specific diagnostics. If its decent enough you should be able to see what everything is doing, should also gives proper fault codes and issues. Check things like the Throttle position and temps, not sure how it would feed back map data due to having the boost module though...

might be worth getting clip on there to see the live data?

From what I remember with mine you had to give it a few seconds for the lambdas to wake up on starting to smooth it out a little. Id quadruple check for air leaks. Have you had it mapped yet?

So final for this weekend I think. Abs sensors checked, I get a reading off the known good one but nothing at all from the dodgy one confirming I need a new sensor, so will get that ordered up 👍🏻 I also got hold of a dash switch, whipped from a laguna at the scrap yard. It's now wired in on my...

Make sure you have everything plugged in the correct place would stop this happening. The resistor pack and fan use the same plug and are next to each other 🤦‍♂️
