nice 1 fella

the engine you are referring to is the b18ft (1.7 turbo) not much has been developed for that engine but a good benefit from it is that its efi rather than carb. tbh these cars are quick on the standard t2 running around 15psi

01dwilkinson

Yeah thats the one. It has similar seats to yours but in black which i think are just a bit to big for the car lol, The reg plate also had a little caption on it that said ,The devils work. I should be up there soon ,if he still has it i will get some pics for you.

bluntys1rsturbo

ok cool fella

got an update for you all iv just invested in mappable ignition (megajolt) got all i require for £261 this is being fitted and mapped by chris (scoff) over winter and will finally get rid of the bloody pants aei unit that is only good on a t2 up to 12psi. boost will be set at 25-26psi

bluntys1rsturbo

been in contact with a few cylinder head specialists over the last few days to fit my enlarged exhaust valves etc, and iv decided to go with neil roper seems a top bloke as well

bluntys1rsturbo

well guys my car is now down the drive and parked up for winter, just need to wash it and get the cover over it.

bluntys1rsturbo

received my new 100 1st stage and 0.9 air corrector jets so we can fettle with the fuelling to get it around 11.5-12.0 afr on full boost currently its mega rich at 10.7-10.8afr

also got a full poybush set on its way to me so this will be fitted over winter i cant stress how much a polybush set improves a car especially one thats 20 years old lol, im looking into upgrading the rear shocks as well as mine are the standard ones

bluntys1rsturbo

currently watching a brand new poly window set on ebay and also a brand new alloy radiator iv got a price in mind for both of them so if im lucky enough to be in that range i shall be investing

All sounds very good mate should be a top car once finished

bluntys1rsturbo

cheers fella should be even more insane when its done, looking at around 250-260bhp also thinking about nos purely to aid spool up

bluntys1rsturbo

little bit of an update, going get out and fit the bjr downpipe/elbow on weds and also get the 1st stage put back to standard on my carb wont be driving the car after to test it though its its parked away for winter.
Been speaking to scoff and were looking at late march to get my megajolt fitted and mapped ill also have my new exhaust system made and fitted before this time

bluntys1rsturbo

fitted the bjr downpipe and put the 1st stage back to standard on the carb yesterday, first job once i take my car out is to get the new 2.5" system made to fit the downpipe, then will re set fuelling etc.

been in contact with a couple of bodyshops regarding sorting out the bodywork and im going pay them a visit in the new year to get a rough quote off them

Jay,

cool that scoff is very good with the 5's it going to be a animal when done

bluntys1rsturbo

thanks matey
yeah he is pretty special with them, id say its already in the league of an animal now these next few additions will just push it on that bit further especially the mappable ignition which is known to see gains of 15-20bhp between 2-3k would be nice to see it hit 245-250bhp next year

bluntys1rsturbo

booked car in with longlife stockport to get the full 2.5" system fitted on 21st jan, will be a nice chance to give the car a bit of a drive as its not moved since mid december and ideal to check the fuelling since changing 1st stage back to standard on carb.

Maxwell

coming on well since i last had a browse! you ever see any build threads for my old GTT Raider?? Went to yorkshire to a guy called Gavin Barr or something! reg: RIW 7909

bluntys1rsturbo

thanks fella sorry i only just seen your reply, bloody no email notification

i can say iv seen anything on that but ill have a look and keep my eyes peeled in future, i know a guy named robbo come the last dyno day in a g reg raider

bit off topic of my car but thought you guys might be interested in another r5gtt that scoff has been mapping 1.8 16v f7p 451 bhp@2bar

bluntys1rsturbo

off to longlife this saturday to get the new 2.5" system made and fitted, should be interesting to see the difference with the bjr dp/elbow and new system. Also as i said before will give me chance see how its fuelling since putting the 1st stage back to standard might need a fine tune of the 2nd stage

mk1trb

turbo'd f7p are rude, somthing reno should have done in the first place

bluntys1rsturbo

well guys am off to longlife today so will have a few pics and vid later on for you all.

went out to my car last night re connected battery and it started on the 2nd turn was a bit groggy for 1-2 mins but totally fine from there on. Left it to warm up for another 5 mins then took it for a bit of a shakedown managed to glance at the fuelling and it seems better noticed around 11.3-11.4 on full boost, i never went above 4.5 k though so will have a proper check once this system is fitted.

TommyB

You Planning on running it down the pod this year?
Looks real sweet.

bluntys1rsturbo

Certainly am tommy and as many track days as possible.

Update
Well just got back to stoke system sounds gorgeous would be even better if had standard exhaust manifold on. I had a vid but the quality is terrible. Fuelling is defo sorted now around 11.4-11.5 wot. One thing for sure is i cant get grip in any gear once boost comes in whilst its wet even in 5th

Went out for a drive to Cheadle on sunday 22 mile round trip, mostly national speed limit roads as well , all i can say is since sorting the fuelling plus the dp/elbow and new system its a whole diff car even the mrs says it feels quicker defo gained some torque thats for sure.

bluntys1rsturbo

also received these today cant wait to try them out heard such good things about the blacklight. will be the cars first clean since early december 2011

Jay,

this car just gets better its to see one being looked after well

bluntys1rsturbo

thanks alot mate i really appreciate the kind words , its certainly being looked after and its nice to see that most owners of these classics are really big enthusiasts which can only be good, just like the rs turbo/cosworth scene its all about keeping these legends alive and kicking ass

bluntys1rsturbo

not much to report over the last week or so, car is back down my drive for a few weeks so i thought id get a quick couple of pics yesterday mainly so i could show people the new exhaust well what you can see of it.




really cant wait to get this megajolt fitted and mapped in march purely for the low down torque increases it offers

mk1trb

stunning makes me really want another 5

bluntys1rsturbo

cheers mate they are a great motor i never knew what people meant by the "5 bug" but christ i do now haha

Gary_Hurn

Really cool cars I had one at 17 .... Couldn't insure it so had to sell ... Looking at yours I wish I'd kept it

One day I may get another

bluntys1rsturbo

wow thanks alot and if my car inspires you to get another then thats great

great thing about them now is classic insurance

bluntys1rsturbo

not much to report atm other than iv had to stick getting the megajolt fitted/mapped for another month or so as iv just had renew van insurance n also had spend £171 on the van .
on top of that just booked 2 breaks for april/may so iv paid them off so the car has for once taken a back seat but worry not normal service will be resumed asap

bluntys1rsturbo

megajolt now re booked in to be mapped for sat april 21st iv also bought a set of oe headlights as morrettes just aint for me

also invested in this numatic george wet/vac
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007193592...#ht_500wt_1202
along with this valet pro upholstery brush
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2709106411...#ht_1107wt_952

bluntys1rsturbo

cover is finally coming off the car this friday, so the oil can be dropped, then new oil and filter plus new fuel filter.
going to give the car a wash and a quick polish n wax and take it for a good shakedown (hope weather is decent this weekend)

bluntys1rsturbo

finished work at dinner today so decided to whip the cover off and valet the interior with the numatic george and my god the dirt that come out.

got a couple of quick pics

Dannygti

Looks a beauty mate. Always had a soft spot for these asy dad had one for years when I was younger.
Bet its fast with that sort of power
Be giving my 106 a run for it's money

bluntys1rsturbo

cheers fella, its got more power now and some more coming in april keep your eyes peeled.

should be good enough to run a very low 12 1/4 mile going off the rtoc leaderboard/stats

whats in your 106?

Dannygti

My 106 is turbocharged.. At 13psi it made 252bhp@wheels bit now got big valve head and forged internals so should be running around 315hp@wheels next week.

I'll keep an eye on this for sure, looks a lovely example.

Looking spot on mate, i usually despise R5's if i'm honest, but your is changing my opinion!

bluntys1rsturbo

brilliant fella, you got a thread on here or anywhere i can take a look at? its a total no brainer to turbo a 106 really if i owned one it would certainly be done.

bluntys1rsturbo

cheers fella should look better after a bit of a bufty session 2moz, glad my car is changing your view haha.

you still got the cossie in your sig?

WongRS

Yeah, sat on the drive awaiting some final fettling before it goes back on the road and my inevitable death happens.
