bolts up, coil pack is in the way of the turbo though

yarp, but then they do look very similar....

.

they have a new style wear indicator on them. probably 3k road miles in and a track day, I'll check the wear and report back

Perfectly fine when pushed on but i dont go full super hero tbh. Only time I've actually had an issue was at blyton, first thing when they said it would be super slippy after the shower. It was lol. On the road I've not found an issue yet. I'd put them higher on the list than rainsport 3's.

I run them on the twingo and highly rate them for the money. Run them daily and had them on there at blyton. No major slip in the dry or when being leaned on but then I dont have massive power.

maybe look at the K4m intake manifold off a twingo RS, not sure if it fits but both a k4m engine

can you give us a pic or description of him? im in gloucester myself

power station but he didnt work there.

what is it that's prompted this post?

any idea if it was the same guy who ran a tuning thing in Morelands trading estate a few years back? tancho tubing and vauxsport or something?

where in gloucestershire is this guy?

might be the cable too. worth looking at to make sure it moves freely

So I'm a little happier at the suspected gearbox condition. Rather than look at the oil I caught in a bucket after I removed the end cap I pulled some from the drain plug into a clean container. Looks loads better, I ran a magnet through it to see if it would find anything but picked up nothing...

strip and clean the original. no need for a bigger bore tb

Scrap yard haul today for a 41/31 5th lgearset. Pulled from a modus that we didnt have the locking wheel nut key from so had to do everything from the top. Got home and set about fitting it to the twingo. TBH it wont be a massive difference at all but should drop the rpm a little in the...

not looked at an f4r one. but usually there is a split pin holding a cap/spring in place. You remove the pin, put an extra washer/shim in and refit the pin. this increases the pressure the pressure release valve opens at

@bloke do you have the ratios for the jr5-120?

Easy peasy job, thats why only want the 5th lol. In fact ive done a 5th gear replacement a santpod car park before lol. No bother i look around locally first as its a 3 hour each way trip on a good day (y) and postage on a box aint going to be cheap.

Ideally im looking for a 45/31 or 47/31 5th gear

I cant find the ratios for the 120. Could be tempted if you fancied pulling the 5 gear cogs off and posting them to me and scrapping the rest? i want a longer 5th for the JH gearbox, not a JC. JA3 JA5 JH3 and JR5 all seem to share parts

@YorkshireKyle what's the full code of the box? I'm after the 5th gear out of a derv box.........

jh series box in the twingo gt. but I've read the jc5 internals bolt in. probably crap info like most that's spouted tbh.

its be some heavy old hector with a diesel engine probably ?? half the fun is tinkering for me too and doing something a little different. you should see some of the stuff I've put together over the years, some of it very out there. I generally get an idea and run with it, get bored, sell up...

Aftermarket rods are available, though if I'm honest, and wanted to shoot well north of 200bhp I'd just swap the lump out. If I could crack 165bhp solidly on it I'll be ecstatic. Part numbers show the rods are different to the non turbo which is nice, I guess time will tell. the older 8v rods...

1149cc you should round down not up to 1.2 lol but it looks better with a 1.1t badge lol indeed it hustled along nicely, especially for a car on cheap tires and normal road pads.

This is what im currently working on when i get a spare 5 min, Modified standard manifold holding a tf035 turbo (like a small td04 that the starlet guys like to use) the pic of turbos show the original housing at the bottom, and old school T2 of a Renault 5 GT Turbo and then the tf035 at the top.

indeed the 133 is a fair bit different, not just the arches, wishbones hubs arb are all different. This is more clio spare parts than the 133. With regards to the limits im not sure, not many are. My next plan of action, though it might not get there, is to slap a bigger blower on. The stock...

they had a turbo 133 as far as im aware, made really strong numbers too
