Project Winstonising a Renault 5 GT Turbo

[Winston]

more boost.. uprated actuator, bin the chump valve.

New actuator is good for 22psi..... Dump valves long gone and bleed valve soon to be

18 psi will need more than an intercooler strap to keep the internals inside.

750kg is awesome, I miss mine :-(

f**k ramming 18psi back through a T25. It isn't going to live long. Compressor surge is a b**ch.

Plus above 14psi a T25 starts to super heat the air in it. Hot air pump FTL.

 

[bsbuk]

love the fmic

 

[Phoenix]

just red threw this and damn i want an R5
fallen in love with them all over again

 

[paul_h172]

Cant see it lasting long at 18psi!

 

[Winston]

Rebuilt engine... Rebuilt turbo... 18psi will be sweet guys, will take its toll on the turbo but hey prices you pay

I will run on 14psi till after FCS... then getting the fueling re-jetted for more boost

Bullsh!t, bit of a general statement to make asuming all T25's to be the same, or have you seen the compressor map for his unit??

I've run 18psi+ through my T25 for 2 years.. no probs yet.

Not many T25 have a decent comp map after 14psi unless they've been machined and have a bigger comp wheel. Even GT2554's add extra heat after 16psi.

Few updates from weekend.... Focused and the interior

Cobra Suzuka bolted to the angle grnder modded standard 5 runners

Windy windows fitted... took longer to do than the seat lol

The legendary yellow alpine and Mk1 ipod fitted

and today the actuator showed up... so its now set at nice and safe 14psi.... needs more boost, in good time

Sunroofs coming out for good over weekend and lost about 2kg in random brakets today.... The hunt goes on for wheels lol

 

[HollyAnne]

what happened to them lovely black ones that you had at the beginning?

 

[Winston]

I only have 2...

 

[Limca]

hahahaha, i love that ipod connector through the yellow tape player

 

[Alex_X93]

I have 2 15" f1's for sale paint, ideal for bb conversion.

 

[Chrisjk]

Just watched the vid with expensive headphones, even more addictive. What is the rev limit at? Just doesn't seem to be at high revs, or are you playing it safe.

he didnt have the actuator on then, so couldnt push it....new videos soon

 

[Winston]

Playing it safe.... as soon as the needle got near the end of turbo on the standard boost gauge (14psi'ish)... i had to let off and change gear

All sorted now tho... needs more boost tho

 

[Chrisjk]

What exactly does the/an actuator do?

 

[Winston]

It controls the boost... with it broke the turbo can run as much psi it can handle

 

[Chrisjk]

I see, so without it on you could have blown another turbo at high pressure?

 

[ditz]

n he'd have put nice big holes in the top of his pistons

 

[Chrisjk]

ahh, gotcha.

 

[Winston]

Just for Mr Bone... picked this up last night, not going to get it on before FCS tho... needs painting

[Winston]

i'm boosted that you bought it just for me, but i don't think it will fit the 172 mate so you can keep it and put it on instead of your broken one..that ok?

 

[Winston]

Few more updates from weekend, Sunroof removed... needs finishing... had it weighed again today... 730kg

Still only on 2x Madins...

Just got to Paint the inside, stencil the roof and clean all my oilly finger prints off lol.... ROLL ON FCS!!

 

[Nafoff]

looking so much better mate

will catch up at FCS

 

[Jamesstone]

Very tidy little rocket that mate, nice work, wish my 172 weighed 730kg - what fun that would be :evil:

 

[Limca]

[Phoenix]
