Lightened and Balanced Flywheel

[ben_p]

would this be a mod you recommend whilst the engine and box are out?]

going for a nice spec engine (200-210 ish)

worht it?


how much do you reckon it will cost?

 

[ben_p]

i know it will loose up hill speed, but should be s**t hot with the engine spec?

 

[Andyman]

Ive had mine done. Cant notice any difference for or against so wouldnt bother tbh

[Andyman]

130 ish i think it was. Talking ages back so cant remember exactly

 

[cliobritt]

Nope.

Nice spec is 240hp plus though best nice spec is bottom end being properly done.

Mods I'd do well cams and headwork ballanced bottom end ligthened pistons.

refurb the gearbox might as well
new clutch
new mounts
clean all the bits
New camshaft seals infact all new enigne seals which may leak.
Full service cambelt chnaged
Remove air con maybe
New water pump and radiator
new suspension all round damper OE Renault ones.
4-2-1 182 or similar manifold
new battery
clean and piant all the car where needed

Use the Cup setup remove the air con compressor and the condenor also to do the job right I'd change the whole heather matric setup for a one air con as I like stuff done right then again there no need.

Deffo do the battery its only cheap if you cannot prove the old ones ages

Just check the rad for damge might be fine since the condensor takes the stone chips and removing it means the extra heat from the more powerful engine can be cooled.

O yep I'd personaly do a oil temp/pressure gauges

 

[ben_p]

removing the air con should save a good 40kg's?

i was thinking of doing a battery re location to the boot, but will change it either way

Battery in boot yep is a good idea for space and ballance issue.
