update on my turbo



i built the car 2 summers ago and had great fun in it however the turbo decided to blow about a month ago. in a way this was a good thing as it gave me an excuse to fit a bigger turbo and mess around with a few other things in the engine

just a few fices of how it is going.....

Grrrrr see because of you I now have to do Djw Daves wiring!!! ;)

Hey Nykie. give us a shout when your about been good to see how your getting on with her. Did you ever sort that boost problem in 1 st out?
 
cool dave nice to see your getting yours on the way. good luck with the wiring, if you need a hand with it then give me a shout.

well other mods apart from the bigger turbo will be
RSi cam
new intercooler maybe intercoolers
bigger bore exhaust
rebuilt head with reseated valves and slightly ported.
bigger injectors

i've picked up a programmable ECU, this might be going on but it will need hard wiring... a lot of work!!

and i want to try and hide all of the wires, like the veedub boys... smoothed bay.

F.A.O DAVE... when do you think yours will be finished?

how difficult is it to wire in the injection in, cos ive got the 1.7 turbo engine in my clio but with a r5 gtt carb on it and its just isnt right? I have no idea!:S
 
you first need the two volvo ECU's with all of the volvo loom. then you need to fit all of the volvo sensors and adapt the origional renault loom to match the volvo engine. ie starter motor, fuel pump, rev counter... etc

what sort of performance do you get from your setup?

why does everyone use volvo engines???

would a 21 turbo engine work???

nope you couldnt get a gearbox to fit in the front, the engines are mounted different.
