Think I've found the spacers on Jenvey site so may order them up soon.

 

[Chambers_RS]

@ADS1982 you running the standard length RS2?

Hi mate honestly wouldn't bother 200 quid ,aerocatches just stick with normal set up

 

[masekwm]

With the amount invested, and the mods, why have you not gone for bodies?

 

[ADS_V6]

And take it to EFI for mapping.

 

[NorthloopCup]

Oh ok, is that why James did the Xtra kit? I would mind having the extra 50mm tbh, you reckon Jenvey will know what I want and sell them to me?

No it's the silicone hose that joins the air filter to the tb that I'm on about with induction length mate.

 

[Chambers_RS]

No it's the silicone hose that joins the air filter to the tb that I'm on about with induction length mate.

So I decent length hose before the airfilter is what I need then? Haha. With the 20v engine you only need about 100mm to keep the airmass happy and reading right.

And take it to EFI for mapping.

You on standard timing and cams etc? You got a thread on yours?

With the amount invested, and the mods, why have you not gone for bodies?

Main reason is just to be different. I've had bodies before was another reason.
Couldn't be bothered with the draw backs of bodies tbh.
You still going down the boost route?

 

[masekwm]

Not sure at the moment, was going to over winter but have tried to squeeze too much in before first trackday in Feb. Not seen my Cup in weeks!

Yes mate. I believe the length of silicone hose supplied with the rs2's was there for this reason.
I was prepared to try a different route just to be different mate.

 

[NorthloopCup]

The gearbox for it is in my garage! Lol

 

[masekwm]

Car is with Beanie, box with NLC, interior in spare room and cage on way to Mark Fish.

Ah ok cool. What where your plans when you had one?

Haha sounds like mine apart from I've just tipped the interior and glass today lol
You can't be far from me then if yours is at Beanie?

Haha hopefully the experience is as good as mine then lol

 

[NorthloopCup]

Bigger plenum with increased volume and some proper lairy Mary cams - R3 maxi to be precise, and then the R3 maxi pistons. Opted for the engine build that I've got now though.

Haha yours is mental build. Done any more to it?
I'm just gunna get mine running with what I've got then I'll play around with it I reckon.

No mate nothing. Been sorting out loads of other stuff recently - hubs, stub axles, gearboxes.......
I've still not made my mind up if it's all staying tbh mate, but I just need to get it running and go from there.

 

[masekwm]

I'm the other side of MK in Flitwick

 

[Chambers_RS]

Yesterday's progress.

Fitted the oil cooler hose and lobbed on a new oil filter.

I dug out my ITG and also found my strut brace lol wasn't looking for it but would never had found it if I was so fitted that on aswell.

Also fitted my VBD xtra low seat frame. Now my seat doesn't rest on the cage and I don't bang my head on the cage when wearing my helmet.

 

[BashRacing]

top work, the maxogen looks well like that

I have high hopes for it like this tbh.

 

[@Josh]

@Chambers_RS looking good! Any plans to get it out on the track?

Yeah loads hahaha. Having a big push to get it sorted and mapped then will be.

How's your race car coming on?

Honestly disappointed with the xtra kit tbh,lost low down grunt ,really not much difference ,the 1st few times driving it felt good placebo effect imo.Would like too know how you get on with it.Had a couple people drive it and all said low down power is flat.Love the Itg filter looks smart.

@ADS1982
What power and torque is yours? And are you on standard cams and timing?

 

[ADS_V6]

Honestly dont know ,not much more than standard imo,standard i believe

 

[barnesautos]

Flol!! I see your still using the pic of it all laid out on my old living room floor!

 

[Chambers_RS]

Oh really, I'm on fancy timing so will see how it turns out :smile:

We love fancy timing [emoji6]
Mike Woodford timing is that ?

I couldn't possibly give that info away unless the man responsible gives it away :wink:

Slowly just waying everything up then going to hopefully get everything at once

 

[Chambers_RS]

Only update at the minute is I finally got my alternator belt sorted.

Waiting on a few bits to arrive to finish off the engine.
Had new bearings pressed into my hubs so I can fit the shafts and get it back on its wheels to fill the gearbox up with oil. Can also fit the brakes whilst I'm there thinking about it.

Got these so far that I've been waiting for

Renault antifreeze and push fit vacuum connectors to finish off the brake servo pipe extension.

 

[Chambers_RS]

Did a bit today

Refitted my brakes and fitted the braided lines. Need bleeding but ready to be.

Finish off fitting the coolant hoses, need to bypass the heat matrix pipes tho. Sorted the intake hose aswell and mounted the ecu.

 

[Rubicon_]

This is brilliant mate, love the brakes!

Would your induction not be better facing the other way towards the headlight though?

He's going to take the air feed from the scuttle panel mate as it's an ideal place to take it from. The Clio 16v/williams Grp a cars used to take theirs from the same place.

 

[Korky]

What bells and rotors are they mate, they look great!

Like the idea of that! Using like a scoop intake?

@Chambers_RS what have you done with your carbon container...just removed it? If so what have you done with the wires?

 

[Akay]

How did you mount the ecu @Chambers_RS ?

 

[NorthloopCup]

Yeah I was going to use the Grp a williams scuttle intake and connect it up to my v6 airbox, but I sold the rs2 on first!

I have been keeping my eye out for an RS2 but not sure on them look a nice piece of kit.
I currently run standard airbox with upgraded filter and have direct feed behind me headlight. Find it works fine and allows me to run cooling from the fog light.
