  1. cheers mate.
    the cars had an absolute fortune spent on it now, so hopefully with the hybrid turbo it will keep me happy.......or it will be up for sale. lol
     
  2. What does your car put out again Gray? Bhp/torque wise.

    Haha it's true, you turned me :wink:
     
  5. Noice! I'd be happy with 300 bhp tbqh. Is a decat a must? I absolutely hate the sound of these cars with a decat.

    Standard cat doesn't do anymore than 290bhp I think?!
     
  7. Yeah I've heard that. Sports cat would be the only other option I suppose.
     
  8. Bought these pagid rs29's off a mate for the megane. He won them on ebay and sold them to me :smile:
    maybe a bit too much for road use, but ill give them a try.

    also received a email from AET telling me my hybrid turbo is having the turbine housing machined at the moment and should be ready shipping by mid next week! :smile:
     
  9. Going to be sticking the nut in the windscreen with them.
     
  10. Such an epic build. Have you done a trackday in it?
     
  11. they should be pretty aggressive when up to temp! Problem is keeping them at optimum running temp on the road, so i reckon ill probably sell them.
     
  12. cheers mate.

    nope never done a track day in it and never will :smile:
     
  13. This car and build is quite simply epic...
     
  14. thanks for the kind words mate :smile:

    i try to only put the best of parts on the car, but at the same time it has to look standard. At the moment im pretty happy with the car, except needing more power!

    also mot this month :/
     
  15. Nice Steve I take it once the turbos back your off down to Paul's to get it mapped?? Absolute dedication on this car bud.
     
  16. im trying to work in going to pauls and heading down to the track day on the 25th of september, but i think im in london that week.
    the car should be in for mapping sometime next month...

    I run RS29's on mine and they are fine on the road.

    Brutal when up to proper temp though LOL!
     
  18. bought them off my mate for £61 so a bit of a bargain when you consider the rrp!

    i run rs5's upfront at the moment :smile:
     
  19. This arrived today :smile:

    TD04-HL 20T Hybrid turbo.

    Cant wait to fit it...not!
     
  20. Long bar & windy gun worked for me. Have you got new studs as I can guarantee at least one will snap.
     
  21. No not got new studs mate yet. Iv heard their not cheap to purchase from renault?

    I made a set today,
    I can make some more if you want some?
     
  23. I made mine too. Renault wanted £100 for a set. I used crimp nuts on mine to stop them coming loose.

  24. ooo shiny ! :cool:

    I rang today and the kit is now £114
    I had some studs that were 100 mm long and put more threads on them for angels turbo Clio,
    Much cheaper than standard bolts and just as good
     
  26. what length should the studs be? ill check my work first to see if they have something that will fit...
     
  27. yeah sure is mate. Shame i have to fit it eventually. Lol
     
  28. Markblack@MRS

    75mm
     
  29. think all the ones i have spare are 55mm :worried:
     
  30. I got a genuine Renault set, the set on my hybrid weren't and came loose, one had actually snapped.

    Soft past it engine mounts probably didn't help.
     
  31. Sounds like the studs werent high tensile and stretched. Ill check my work to see if we have anything longer thats high tensile, if not i might have to go to renault. :worried:
     
  32. Finally looking like you will have a turbo to go with your forged engine!
     
  33. yeah mate, I'm blaming you pressuring me into it :tongueout:
