Hi Newbie hear

[James5_GTT]

New to the site just thought I would say Hi so Hi, I currently drive a Renault 5 Gt turbo as my 2nd car the main car is a Vauxhall Zafira GSI.

I am currently looking @ updating the 5 with a more modern engine as I have gone as far as can go with the C1J lump so am looking @ doing a 172 conversion in N/A form to start with the intention to turbo in the future. So no doubt i will be pestering a few of you guys for some advice:rasp:

What can you hear?

...or did you mean 'here'? lol!!

Sounds like a plan!! I love 5-turbos, a turbo'ed 172 powered one would be crazy!!

Yeah she is a nice R5 very quick managed 197.7bhp & 221Lbft of torque @16psi in March this year on the rolling roads @ Track nR oad in essex, she has been runing 22psi for the last 5 months so I would expect her to be around the 220 - 230bhp mark. All thanks to the VNT turbo
