Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
I heard that but thinking if i mod the frame abit will it fit? how much different is it?

yozza sport
im not struggling
looks better covered in dirt!
Thought you had a megane?!
Agree'd! 172 is horrific for traction! Been wheel spinnin since i bought it! lol
Meg is far better. I remember driving the R26 in the rain!
Incapable drivers??

give it more boost
1.4 bar is too much for that turbo. well out of it's efficency band, and it wont last.
Want more power, you should get a GT28RS

Not going for a bigger turbo till this one blows lol

run it at 1.4 bar then
it'll happen quickerIn honesty I'd be surprised if you could do more than spike momentarily to that boost anyway. The air will be superheated, so you'll gain very little, and the intercooler you have certainly wont be enough in that instance. Bigger turbo will flow more air for less boost, and less heat created, so it's a double win.

running at 1 bar at min an turbo can be glowing an intercooler can still be cold. I have been told it can do 1.4 nicely but i dont want people start saying i cant take advice etcrun it at 1.4 bar then

exhaust housing glowing isn't too unusual, just displays high EGTs....but it's a turbo, you normally map the fueling richer on boosted engines because of this. It's intake air temp I was refering to
I've used T28 and GT28r turbos on a lot of engines (nissans 1.8 and 2 litre in the main) Past 1.2 bar you just dont see more power, and there's so much heat created the boost drops off pretty quickly up the revs.
Boost is relative as it's a measurement of restriction, and every engine is different, but going by what I've seen on similar sized 16v engines, I would stick to 1.2bar tops
remember a core's flow effciciency for cooling vs flow could cause a low temp but high pressure drop across the core, which is good for cooling but bad for overall power... flow is what you want.
what turbo are you running at the moment?
EGT's and wideband fueling are your important things to keep your eye on for reliability.
I've mapped GT28RS units and they give a good surge of torque when pushed to 1.6bar mid range, but I taper them back down to 1.2bar top end..

Your famous Bill!
What turbo is it running?

Dunno tbh mate i was told its a t28

What kind of power does that produce, 0 to 60 and top end?

If its a T28 i would of thought 1.4bar would be fine. Any actual spec, A/R etc?
I ran a standard turbo on a punto GT at 1.4 bar, lasted 3 months then blew,bought a t25 stage 2 as a replacement and ran that constant 1.4 bar and its still going noew 2 years later on another GT.

1.4 bar i was told just over 300bhp 0 to 60 is fast
lol and top end its 145

a 1.4 8v is going to show hugely different boost characteristics to a 2l 16v

1.4 bar i was told just over 300bhp 0 to 60 is fast
I've seen 286bhp @ 0.9bar on a 1.8 with a T28, and 294bhp @ 0.8bar on a GT28RS
1.4 bar i was told just over 300bhp 0 to 60 is fast
At 1 bar and 260bhp i'd say it would do 0-60 in around 5.5ish. Sound about right Ryan?
At 300bhp must be around 5 seconds to 60.
The big difference will be the 0-100 times because to get a good 0-60 time you have to ge the power down 1st which can be difficult in a fwd car.

lol - yea, tis I, Bill (said in an allo allo voice)
got a 182 at the mo, and enjoying it a lot. back to renaults again, previous was a well modded Ren 11 turbo back when i was *cough*, younger.
thanks for the welcome.
