AndyRg - 20VT French/German Sleeper ish

Well done mate, very impressive results!

Guess you'll wait for the internals to do something interesting before changing them or are you whipping the engine back out and getting them changed? Did Andrew do your mapping?

If the sump will clear the subframe swapping rods can be done with the engine still in.
That said if the box has to come out anyway then might be easier to just pull them out together.

 

[chriscummins7]

Andy, your builds are great!!

 

[2Damnsly Andy]

Quality.

 

[Gray]

I am in Middlesbrough Tuesday and Newcastle Tuesday night / Wednesday... If your about

 

[Tutuur]

Wow this is great! Seeing this it would be a very small step to use an engine with lots potential and parts available!

Shame i already have a fully built Renault engine, however it's a bit of a challenge too ofcourse!

Call up mate for coffee and general banter.

How do you get the cir clips and Gudgeon pins out of the pistons? I presume the pistons stay in the bores.

Yeah Craig i can see Mine getting wrapped up for the winter

 

[Chris205]

Makes me feel old thinking that was over 6 years ago lol

[Craig.]

Haha you might aswell leave it tucked up in the garage now the winters here Owen

 

[Owen:s]

Your right there mate been freezing today, the snow would give quite a cooling factor too the intercooler ha ha

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

i had to tweek the lower level boost as i hit boost cut twice not nice!!!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Lol boost cut scares the s**t out of me

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Awesome work! Looks great in grey and bet it goes well. :approve:

 

[macca6]

Saw this car last weekend where a got my new 172 . Awsome bit of kit! I could only imagine how much of a beast this thing is!

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

Well after a turbo fail ive went for a td04 for now low down power and pulls thro. Had a clioturbo rrday.

305bhp and 278lbs

Very happy

 

[not normal dan]

Great results andy, looks like a great package you've put together right there.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Pretty much perfect power and power delivery to suit the car IMHO, will still be fairly useable, and must go very very well.

Epic result IMHO.

Lets just hope you manage not to copy my bent F4R rod, as the VW ones arent much better, lol, should be ok as you have kept the boost levels sensible.

Lol I still can't believe after seeing those pics of yours how it ran!

 

[Tutuur]

Great result indeed. And for the amount of money just seems far more sensible then turboing a F4....

could have a bit higher rev limiter though, power seems to keep climbing.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Alot more sensible torque figure, still risky but better.
