Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project There's no reason why it won't, renault ecu works and my omex run off it. If it doesn't, get a better ecu! lol

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project The 172 flywheel is a 60-2 Bosch setup. The setup for an OMEX is 2 teeth missing, MX Sync Test 57, MX time 50%. fOxy, look at it this way. it has already got a tooth (or 2 in fact) missing. they are just the opposite way round and raised (or filled in)...

What sort of temps are you running as our engines are similar and i have no way of telling on my cup

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project iirc that's classed as missing tooth. I'll look at my omex manual tonight and confirm for you, i have it written down on it.

I don't think they are any stronger, as the diesels don't put out any more torque than a 172, however a cup gearbox is quite rare and the other jc5 boxes are more availiable. I was looking at clio, megane etc anything with a jc5. Just need to find more info eg ratios

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project The 172 flywheel already has a tooth missing

I don't know, i wasn't driving, but it was def the oil that thinned and the engine seized

Longer diff, so longer overall ration iirc. I think f0xy was saying to me the diesel box has a thoretical top speed to 194mph redline at 7k

does this mean i could use any jc5 box, including diesels, i know the ratios are different. Does anyone know what the numbers relate to? Eg 129, 109,089 etc

Whiteley seized a F7P with no oil cooler at a trackday, using silkolene expensive stuff, so about 140 -160 without cooler, 80 - 100 with iirc

How slow do you drive on a trackday? I can get my cooler hot enough not to touch, 1 lap after warm-up! Also do you happen to know the spec of the engine you are commenting on? believe me, it needs an oil cooler.

get a thermo plate like mine. Will sort the problem. On track my oil cooler gets so hot you can't touch it

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project have you found what's wrong with the old one?

Looking good mate, loving the top mount, i'd like one, is the gearbox ones availiable, do you know?

exactly.

I'd put it down to f0xy's being lighter for the straights and you being more committed in the corners, lets face it, you were catching me and i have 50 ish more bhp!

At least i'm some use then! lol

I only took 2 pics, i'm afraid, but the second is of JB getting towed off the track!

Top Pics Danny.

Can i have one now i've taken the gdi stickers off?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project mmmm, i'm thinking that too

I honestly don't know, think it was about the same as the willy

Thanks, it was good to abuse it for what it was made for. Cadwell park a week today! there was no cylinders hidden in the boot of those cars, they were just lying on the back seats!

It was spread over the weekend, my car is looked after well (it's far from standard) and if it couldn't take the punishment, i'd have to get something different. the drag racing is probably the hardest on a car, burnouts once spinning aren't too bad, if you stay off the limiter and keep an eye...
