Fuck me she picks up quickly! Epic Josh I bet you're over the moon with it:afro:

And of course props to Sandy as usual for applying his talent in such a remarkable way - top man! :drink:

Thanks Lewis.

Pump is in and solved the fuelling problem. It felt much stronger with that done and even before raising the 8k rev limit it was making about 8-10bhp more at the wheels in our rollers at 7500rpm with the right fuelling. Raised the limit as far as I'm prepared to take it (for longevity) and it still head butts the limiter. It feels truly epic now, blatantly more grunt than the chassis can handle in the lower gears and I'm very pleased with it.

It's on a standard 1.6 crank (without any of the worrying counterweight removal I've seen some people doing!) and overbored with slightly oversize valves, but still on original inserts which tells you they aren't as big as some people are using! I'm not going to be specific about dimensions I'm afraid, I don't want to fill in the missing pieces for my competitors. It's a package I've evolved over several years and I'm quite protective of the details

Sounds awesome. Really awesome! You dont do renaults do you? Lol

Not really, I'm building a full race development F4R with a friend of mine currently (Nick at Pure Motorsport), but it's such a pain in the arse engine beyond fast road spec, I'm not sure if I'll do any more!

Should think ekking more power out the f4r is quite a challenge isnt it sandy??

Cant see you nearly doubling the power on one of them like you mangage so well on the good old j4 :p

Double JP4 maybe, but not quite J4! F4R is a shame really, lets down an otherwise good car. Probably shouldn't start a debate on Josh's thread, but the EW in the 206 is a vastly better engine on just about every level for race use.

Many thanks for The reply regarding the valves / pistons sandy! Very interesting! Congrats to you and Josh for an epic build! Also interesting to see it pick up so quickly witha standard crankshaft, I agree that some pictures of 'lightened' tu crankshafts do look very much butchered!!

Looking forward to seeing / hearing this at some point Josh!!

You don't have any 'high end' car owning friends do you jp?
Would be very interesting seeing your car versus say a lotus exige or a megane RS or something like that :D
I'd imagine it would muller them.

1/4 mile and track :D

Weird how the psa frogs can built very tunable engines but the renault frogs cant

:p


P.s. sorry josh :afro:

He has a mate with a megane r26 engine in a clio 200... Would tha do :p

Perfect! I've always thought that would be an amazing conversion! Someone has done it in a standard twingo too lol

Video due by tomorrow jp!

such an epic car! especially now sandys waved his wizard sleeve magic on that engine!

i bet its awesome pulling to the limiter now, it was epic before!

I shall be removing your sunstrip at Trax

This is all :-)

I hope there is lots of videos etc of this thing flying round the track!! Its certainly changed since I last saw it in the flesh about 4 or so years ago

Ive already taken it off mate :D

Baz - I've got one session booked, need to build my confidence up with the car step by step :)

Here's Sandy having fun with it on the rollers yesterday :D

Sounds crazy! The exhaust looks mental from what can be seen in that video!
