Finally grabbed a proper spin out between rain showers, so went and knocked on for dan and went for some twin turbo action, 1 per car ;-)

spotted an old fuel stop and decided to hammer on the anchors and grab a few snaps :-)

enough blether...... lets rock the pictures!!

Nice pics Coops. I saw that naples Clio in my rear view mirror one night and he decided to floor it and overtake me so i booted mine but he got past me and i struggled to keep up with him, and i was driving my M3 Evo :lol: Really fast car and pretty cool seeing a Clio that goes like that!

What is the setup you guys use and what gearbox?

What is the setup you guys use and what gearbox?

depends on which week you ask this.

Both dan and coops seem to have to fit a different box every other week.

I think this week coops is running a 172 box and Dan a 1.9 diesel clio box. But, as i write this, this may have changed LOL

like i told u before the JC5 works just find. remember that reno boxes are not indistructable though but can handle some abuse!!!!
Coops
13-04-2011, 20:38
as dunc mentions, both on jc5's mines a 172 and dans is one from a TDi renault megane scenic, rediculous ratios on it, he went off the clocks in 5th at merely 6000rpm :shock: :shock:

and yet to find a box that will take the power, but i refuse to pay silly money on a jc5 to be rebuilt in case it pops just as quick so i just acquire cheap boxes and run them for 6 months or so then swap them out :-)

There must be a solution i think.

I refuse to rebuild half the car to fit a vw gearbox...
Coops
14-04-2011, 08:15
a fresh rebuilt jc5 may last a while longer, but no idea and not willing to risk half a grand plus to find out!

i had a brand new jb3 in it when i bought it, last owner fitted it, it lasted 6k miles in total and less than 2k after i put it to high boostm that was a 800 item from renault

Which parts of the box can not handle the extra power?

I'm also very curious! There is a modification possible for under the 5th to strengthen the bearing housing...

And also one to re-enforce the diff
Coops
15-04-2011, 01:15
you name it, all of it!!

so far i've blown diff bearings, input shaft bearings and stripped gears straight off the shafts, ripping the teeth off the gear itself and the lay shaft its meshed too

only thing i've not done is crack the casing, which i'm fairly sure would happen if i 'strengthened' the bearings or put an LSD in

15-04-2011, 07:25
I broke a casing on the way to the shops! And not running anything like these 2! But I bit the bullit and had a willy box rebuilt, will let you know if it survives Shakespeare! (it's still in warranty)

What are the figures of dans car?

In the vid on santa pod his car seems to have quite some more power than yours.

You run cr 9:1 on skimmed pistons right?[/code]
Coops
09-05-2011, 20:33
which videos? lol

i run more than dans, i run 12.4 1/4 mile and he runs 12.8 ;-) thats best, obviously there are highs and lows but in all the vids of us both he gets better start as the boy can launch then i reel him in ;-)

268bhp to my 285bhp ;-)

how much torque is yours chucking out now coops?. and what psi, cheers
tutuur
10-05-2011, 10:43
Not on the low boost setup anymore coops?
Which is yours, the red or the grey one?

Type: "clio turbo santa pod" on ebay and you will see.
Love the sound of the red one!

I suppose the bov is HKS? I have the same, sounds lovely!!
tutuur
12-05-2011, 12:54
can you put a pic of the engine in here?
Coops
12-05-2011, 22:42
mines the grey one, identical to the red one mechanically....just proven quicker....so far. dans is very fast this year tho and yet to be proven a pod but have a feeling it may finally beat mine

didit, i run around 16psi peak, 14 steady across the range for 260lb/ft peak torque :-)

dans bov is a random metal recirc with no labels on, mines a standard vw 20vt one, rated to 14psi........oops!!!!lol!

What turbo? Gt28rs ?
diditno
13-05-2011, 22:13
260flb aye,im on that as well at 11psi. Just need a new clutch and a few bits done and maybe more boost, tbh its fast enough for a daily motor with traffic and speedbumps etc

u
Coops
15-05-2011, 22:59
ai gt28rs

yeah the p's chuck out less torque than the r's hence i get less torque for my psi!

i'm loath to put anymore boost through it, gearboxes just simply cant take it with the kind of abuse i throw at the car :twisted:
tutuur
16-05-2011, 10:46
Dhayrone has about the same figures with 8psi constant on a R..

Maybe u guys need to consider fitting a vw gearbox like Chris did...
dhay14
16-05-2011, 13:21
i am very interested in how to fit a VW and which vw to use.... because gearboxes are very rare in the netherlands....
tutuur
16-05-2011, 15:02
No they're not. Or did u mean jc's?

At the moment i am moving. When i have everything done i'm going to get my 5 out of the garage and going to rent a garage box for it so i have enough room at home to work on the engine.

I'll keep you guys posted :)

Maybe we could help eachother out!

Would be thinking about:
Custom mounts.
Adapter engine>gearbox
Adapter crank>flywheel
Clutch>hydraulic
Custom drive shafts.
Shift box from a mk4 golf

The advantages are the gearings (1st 60, 2nd 110, 3rd 160, 4th 210 & 5th 260)(all in km/h and redline @ 7000)
Sper diff costs €600 against €1100 for the jc
And a healthy box is proven to withstand 350hp on a vr6t (so much more torque than a valver with 350hp)
And last but not least loads of clutches available (dubble plate etc.)

Scoff is using a vw gearbox too, maybe he can help us out with some issues :)

I already bought a .cad drawing on the adapter.
Going to sort out who can laser it for me...
