cheers pal they are eventful to say the least lol

 

UPDATE

right the engine is going to be taking a different route now instead of me getting the head done straight away, im being patient and im currently negotiating a nice fully ported head with uprated springs from CGB Motorsport and to compliment this ill be adding a 285 cam and vernier iv also got my eyes on a front grill mounted intercooler which will then allow me to position the air filter in a much better place. now i know ill get slated for this over on the RTOC but im also toying with the idea of getting a tubular manifold and doing back to back tests and seeing just what is the diff if any would be interesting to know for sure.

All the above added to the 2.5" downpipe and GT Motorsport turbo elbow should get all the air/gass flow to its maximum which can only be a good thing ill prob stick the hybrid t25/t2 turbo i have on at the same time as well run at about 18psi

 

my new investment thought it was rude not too as id reckon my cylinder head wont be much good as its at least gone twice before plus this will go with the spec im going for

just watching and bidding on a t28 off a 200sx s14 now all ill have to do is change the rear housing to a .49 as the .64 will make it too much of a lag monster, with the .49 i believe ill be getting full 22psi boost at 4k

 

my other new investment

Nissan 200SX T28 turbo going to get a .49 rear housing on it to replace the .64

well the guy who i bought the turbo off has refunded my money as he says there is a crack on the rear of turbo, i thought this was honest of him all is not lost tho iv got my eye on a really good turbo atm

 

took a few more pics of my car last weekend this was just after id topped the ag high def wax up on it (light was not the best)

also got a pic of the ported/bored turbo elbow that mark at gt motorsport is doing me, my car is up there now and should have it back today iv had all the fuelling set up by wideband he tells me it was running very lean so good job its being set up ill let you know what alterations he made to the carb etc when i speak to mark 2nite.

 

its getting there havnt been on rtoc for years is nocternal developments still doing the furl injection convertion for the gt ?

 

hi mate yes nocturnal are still doing the efi this is something i looked into but it costs around 2k all in to do the conversion.

just a little report guys i got the car back friday evening and boy is it a whole new beast its just sooo much better now all the fuelling is bang on and the 3 mods thats been added have defo made it more responsive and pull alot harder up the revs it defo puts a huge smile on my face not sure that the corsa vxr and civic type r owners were smiling after trying it on tho haha.
I also went to order 2 uniroyal rainsport 2 tyres for this friday and went get a price on sorting the bodywork out on my car lets just say i wont be spending anymore money engine wise for a while so its a good jb am happy with it

 

got the new tyres on my car and all i can say now is that its given me awesome grip in 1st and 2nd so my 0-60 times are massively improved. taking the car up to mikeanics today for a power run will be interesting to see what it gets as at the moment im running it at a safe 11.5 afr on full boost so if im not too happy with results ill get it leaned out to 12 and also get the inlet manifold ported then take it back in april and see if this makes more power

 

My sister's old 5 turbo



Best mod you can do. . . fit a Volvo 1700 turbo lump with a few mods



She sold it 18 months ago . . . its not treated the same anymore and dont look half the car it used to be




A 1400 5 Turbo look alike as her 1st car



And the Raider was her 1st 5 turbo






You gotta love Renault 5 Turbo's

 

awesome mate they defo get into your system once you have owned one thats for sure

 

The Volvo conversion is well worth doing. . . so reliable and quick with a few tweaks

 

its something im seriously thinking of as my car is well down on power and cant get to the bottom of it

 

fount the problem with my car compression is down on all 4 pots so its new rings time or im going do the 1.7 volvo conversion

 

well guys i think im sticking with the c1j engine really cba with an engine conversion especially as ill need aftermarket ecu as the standard b18ft only allows 0.9 bar boost max.

so im going treat the c1j to a fresh piston and liner set and also get the bb tuning racing cam fitted at the same time this cam is the same as a 270 which is plenty for my engine as a 285 is overkill for a t2 or t25/t2.

 

Good lad

Although probably a great mod, I'd much prefer sticking with the c1j rather than sticking a volvo lump in there, I'm a purist.

I still really badly want another 5

 

same here mate iv always been more of a purist i know the volvo lump would be alot more reliable but wheres the fun in that lol plus a properly tuned and set up c1j is one awesome little engine

 

5 turbo's are uber cool, nice example you got there fella

 

cheers fella much appreciated its now down my drive cleaned and covered up whilst i get all the bits required do the work on the engine

 

 

little update for you iv now taken delivery of a band new piston and liner set also received brand new front and rear strut braces so all this will be fitted sometime soon, im also toying with the idea of fitting a tubular manifold whilst everything is off. but ideally id like do back to back runs to see if any gains are made from this

 

i like it best colour next to the blue raiders

 

i think so also mate, just a quick update my car is now in at gt motorsport in stoke http://www.gtmotorsport.co.uk/ . dropped it off yesterday to get the bottom end rebuilt i could of just gone with new piston rings but decided whilst its apart may as well do the lot . he was mega busy up there when i went up so not sure how long he will have it

 

BIG UPDATE

car is no longer at gt motorsport not going into why lets just say am not happy

but every cloud has a silver lining iv managed to get hold of ian nixon this would be the guy that owned europarts in stoke and also built the 400bhp twin engined 4wd r5 gtt, anyway ian is now going to be looking after my car so watch this space as already im getting a 270 cam fitted in there on top of the other work

 

ian called me this morning at 9.30am to let me know he had started work on my car i really am happy that my car is in such capable hands his knowledge is prob 2nd to none, he was asking how much power i wanted and said he could get me 320bhp but at that they dont last to long, i just said get it me running right and just want it a little fast road 5

 

well guys i got my car back last night and my god its just so much better now iv had the boost turned down to 10psi whilst im running it in, but it just drives so much more smoothly it even sounds healthier, also i can tell the 270 cam is in there as its even more eager to pull once it starts boosting.
got run it in for 2000 miles then its back to ian for either a t25 or t28 turbo and about 18-20psi obviously will all be set up by him, ian also re wired and relocated the fan wiring it now cuts in when it should and also have the manual switch wired up just in case

 

for anyone interested the new r5 gt turbo 1/4 mile record was set today the time was 10.61 @ 141mph.

 

Dam thats a time,a tuner car?

Always fancied an R5 turbo, this one looks mint!

cheers guys appreciate the comments cant wait till new year when i can get it upto around 180-200bhp

 

When i relised i wanted a new car it was between the r5gtt and the erst but i went for the ford :O want so sure on a 1.4 carb fed turbo haha i will own one soon tho there right monsters.

 

taken delivery of my replacement low mileage t2 turbo this will be fitted in august and until the new year when i stick a full t25 on there, im also looking at getting the inlet manifold ported and possibly exhaust manifold de burred/ported.
iv finally bought a head unit and stealth shelf for the car, just need to get rear and front speakers plus an amp now (no silly subs for me thanks) lol

 

its a difficult choice my choices were outta a fiesta rs turbo or the r5gtt then this come along at a very good price so i got it lol

 

finally managed get hold of a samco small boost hose for my car off the rtoc for £20 had it delivered yesterday . weekends plans are to stick that on, wire head unit in and weather permitting give the car a wash
