Richy's Inferno Turbo

[Gibbo4k]

Ok cool thanks for that I'll get on it later. Suppose I best give it a few more days to see if mine are going to be sent out after so long waiting a few more days won't hurt. Do you remember what diameter pipe you went for adni can see I'll have to ask for a refund in the end.

Went for 63mm/2.5 inch for the pipework from the turbo to intercooler to inlet. And 76mm/3 inch from the air filter to the turbo.

Did a little bit of work on the Clio today with the help of @Dan@SJM and @Dan The Top Bloke sorting out an oil leak and coolant leak. Oil was leaking from the crank oil seal between the block and the box, so this meant gearbox out to replace the seal. Also this gave us a good chance to check things and everything looked good.

Then it was the coolant leak to fix, and this was relatively easy to find. Where I had cut into the coolant pipe to put a T-piece in for the turbo coolant return, the plastic t-piece had snapped in the hose causing it leak.

I then put my wheels on that I'd recently got back from refurbishment and I'm very pleased. Only downside is the car is still weeping oil, but we think this is the sump gasket now.. I did it up to tight! But at the end of the day this has been a massive learning experience for me so I didn't expect it to all be spot on at first.

I certainly don't mind mate! Best way to keep on top of what is in it. Especially when it gets as extensive as yours!

Are you breaking this now?

 

[Richy182.]

Are you breaking this now?

Yes

Sad times

Let the vultures descend.... (me included....)

 

[Mr Plums]

Why are you breaking it bud?

*unfollows post* :tongueout:

 

[l33th3tr33]

Soon to be mine. The purists will love what I've got planned.

Hi buddy sorry to hear your braking it, I was just wondering how you wired your typhoon ecu mate as I have one and im having the same problem with the immobiliser, did your light just stay on constantly or flash? Any help appreciated

@Dan@SJM should be able to help.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Immobiliser light should work as normal.

 

[Thacker]

Do I just cut the wires off the standard ecu for all my engine sensors needed and run them to the typhoon? If so what do I do with the wires cut off from the standard ecu, just cap them off?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Cut injectors/coil, map+sit splice coolant, crank, tps.

 

[Thacker]

Sweet, will have a go in the morning and report back, thanks for the help.

 

[Richy182.]

So the car has been completely stripped ready for it's new owner @l33th3tr33

And the replacement was picked yesterday..

And then my seats and wheels were added.

And that's how it stands, just the next chapter in the Clio story.

 

[Mr Plums]

Why did you go from an inferno turbo to a standard bg?

 

[Richy182.]

Why did you go from an inferno turbo to a standard bg?

Just wanted something reliable as could use daily, also all the knowledge I have gained it should be cheap to maintain, as I'm starting to save up for the next project.
