Erm, try measuring it dave, or buy some, and if its wrong buy some more!


Hope she'll be out in summer

Like Haz says, its the same setup as the front of a ggt, so i presume the subframe and shocks/springs, driveshafts amd everything just get welded in at the back, have thought about doing it that way myself before.

steve

Thats most exellent! Can you tell us owt about it then haz? What running gear was used, and maybe some pics of it being built would be cool.

And could i do it on me drive!

steve

try bringing her on full boost more often ya girl, stop things siezing up!!

steve

could try replacing your fuel filter see if that helps.

steve

Not sure anyone does, i havn't even got a 480!

steve

OK i'll check it out...I guess i just associated it with fast and the furious style driving...

Don't worry it won't make your floor pan drop away and start sparking on the road!!

MBC goes between compressor housing and actuator, to stop the actuator seeing any pressure before the preset limit on the MBC. I sent my ecu to 'overboost' cos it was cheaper, and as you know he does Haz's work, works a treat, fucked me clutch in a matter of hours!! And the boost soliniod thingy plu...

Try squirting some brake cleaner, or any other flammable liquid on your intake hoses, if it sucks it in the engine burns it and you can hear the difference.

I have a 400 series auto gearbox, with bill for just over a grand for reconditioning in 2001 if you want one.

Glad to hear it mate........now you just need a stronger one.

steve

he he indeed...my boot never leaks (did but that was my fault), my clusters are like new, wiring has never been a problem ever, she has never failed to start, the infocentre has only had a bulb blow, engine mounts are solid (touchwood), windows are 100% and always have been (touchwood)...should i k...

They may have a big intercooler, but not much air is getting through that nosecone!

Also, if that guy can get 500brake out of my engine, why is he working at halfrauds!!!!

Halfrauds are only good if your stuck for something on a sunday afternoon and everywhere else is closed.

steve

Take actuator and bracket off turbo, drill out the 6 points that hold em together and throw actuator away, they are crap, get a proper one with two studs sticking out the back off fleabay, bolt onto your bracket.

Steve

Proper shell...pah, what do you lot know. I might buy the bloody thing and put it all in a proper Renault shell, like an R5 or something..... ......he he, maybe you should, my boot never leaks, my rear clusters are unfaded, wiring never an issue, she starts every time, i dont have an info centre to...

You can't really see much.......but she looks nice!


steve

Hang in there dave, its so worth it in the end, trust me!

steve

I've just had my ecu done by 'overboost', hes a member on here, doesn't post much tho, he does all Haz's tuning, its spot on now, power till the redline, loads more torque, and better fuel econ, as you dont have to thrape the nuts off it to get some power now! And it only cost me a fifty. :D steve

Just bought my 3rd 480 turbus, i'l try and resist the temptation to strip her for a renault 5 this time tho, i plan on using this one over winter, depending on what she needs for an mot. she may get stripped tho

Getting it tommorow, so i'l post some pics then
