    11.5sec 1/4 mile 122mph R5 GTT

    172 Engine Renault 5. From what I can make out it has a short throw crank to bring displacement down to 1800cc packed with a turbo kit producing around 330bhp. Sounds the tits lol

    ai, tis scoffs of rtoc, its a f4r with a valver crank in it and turboed as you said, bloody nippy!

    he's helping me with my clutch issues, if his setup can run that power then i want it, but its a 215mm setup, so i need work to get it to run without stand alone management on the engine

    allows you to rev the engine higher whilst reducing torque a little but this is on biggy as its got a high boost setup, torque wont be an issue anyway

    his engine runs 21psi from a T4 compressor, it has 7:1 compression and lot of ignition advance. It makes about 340hp

    standard 172 gearbox to get the power down
