megane project :) *pics 4/3/13 *diy drag wing and bay tidy*

get a bee*r and a pressure switch. put switch on clutch and set rpm to 3500 rpm. then when you dip the clutch and keep your foot down it will keep spooling, wont rev out and will sound awesome. or you could put a gear on the dizzy and a motor with a switch on accelerator and rpm to activate it to retard ignition and activate 5th injector

Thts wat I was thinking but dnt want t fork out a 100 odd for one I have 4 coilpacks nd Der done off a tdc sensor but I was thinking tht if I ran sum way of moving de sensor I cud play wit my timing

got a few bits done last nite and today

wheels resprayed black wit a silver flake


got me eyelids and tinted heads done


and got the intercooler sprayed up aswel and on just need to finish some piping


also got tach in and wired will have 5th injector put in soon aswel

5th injector goin in tonite jst wonderin wud a plastic t-peice be suitable for spliting off a fuel line or wud it break down over time??? ive used thm before for fuel lines but not for a long period of time

did that coil work for ya after lad or was it wrong??

no nt a peep out of it..had to use the alfa one again...sound for it anyways

havnt updated in awhile as i havnt been doin much on it realy due to money but got a fe bits done tnite and de other day

made up a full stainless turbo back de other day
all new gaskets made up and fitted
new manifold made up tnite
along with m spots done and tinted
intercooler mounted and piped
turbo support bracket

had a small problem doh during the week and the car went on fire there was a pin hole in de fuel line which i never spotted as it was at the back of the engine but i lucky got it in time only a small bit of damage done most of the wiring melted along with a injector and ait sensor but got it all sorted and back driving again

started to do a bit more wrk there tnite and made up a better flow manifold
using standard flange as itll save alot of hassel and becasue its steel not cast

going get wiring sorted tmoro
and put on my one way valves that i made using a tire valve and stem chopped down

heres a few pics

mani been made


few welds to grind down still


pic of the pipe work for the turbo


intercooler going on





lights tinted thanks to graham


desided to go with h4s in my spots so i have and heads in them now sumthing different and since its a budget build i had them in the house never used the only thing is i had to make brackets to hold them and widen the hole as the are h1 fitment




bracket made up to hold them good and tight


done my exhaust aswel..sounded muck with the bottom exhaust so desided to make up a full system and it sound 100000 times better now full turbo back straight through stainless system on to a debaffled box...how i missed seening this


and how things look in the shed at the momment



sud have more updates tmoro
let us know what yous think

we need an outside vid now get someone to hold the camera!

Awesome update bud

Ill try get sumthing up next week rich

Small update was only at it for abit today made up a water bottle bracket for the rad..goin t give a go at anadoizing it cas its alloy

making bracket



fitting bracket



also got a new timing belt rollers and tensionors for free


more updates tmoro

bit more got done tnite
got half rad in and modified the fan from the bigger rad too fit on and made up new brackets
finished off most of the intercooler pipping just stuck for a straight peice of rubber pipe now
gave the bay a quick coat of paint
and relocated the power steering bottle

difference in sizes have more room for my intercooler pipping now without havnt to bend the pipes

fan made fit from the full size rad

bracket i made up to hold the rad on the left side as i used to original bracket on the right side in the standard mounting point

rad now fully in and pipes plumbed


relocated power steering bottle


running alloy intercooler piping just stuck for the straight peice now


and lastly the bay with a fresh lick


hopping to nearly all the fab work done tmoro then will be tearing it down tmoro nite and goin to clean everything up

Should be lengths of pipe in the garage dude,

looking good aj
some lovly DIY there

Coming along nicely any more plans for it

sound colin

not realy much at the momment as im realy tight on money...hopping to see if one of the lads will weld up up a mani for me as ive no tig here yet..goin with a short runner intake..and goin with bigger injectors and making up plans for a electronic boost controller

samll update made up a cold feed to turbo out of an old speaker box air channel done abit of chopping and filling to get it t fit rite and a quick shot of paint also have a few snap of how it sits now












car needs a good clean and the paint touched up which ill be doin next week still a few more small bits to do but ill be taking it for a spin mid next week

car had its first proper day out yesterday got 1 new coil off a fella dwn de road 4 a 10e which wasnt to bad thn found that the other one was bad aswel so went arund to one of the lads near mine that specailize in renaults and got 3 off him for free got me plugs gapped to 0.030 to stop spark blow aswel..car is spot on now and spools realy quick next is to put in an fcd im making up..few pics off it out in the wild


didnt have a extension long enufe to reach the plugs either without taking off the inlet manifold so made one up

goin finish up a good bit tmoro and give it a good wash

was having problems with my boosting peakimg to high and found out wat was wrng after...it seemed tht the info i found out abut my actuator was wrng..i tested it by making up a peice of pipe wit a tyre valve on one side and sloting de other side onto the actuator and bring up the pressure till the wastegate opens fully and thn bringing de pressure bck dwn till it starts to close and it seems tht the wastegate is to open fully at 20 psi so i chect the ct9 one and it was .4 so i made between the 2 of thm a adjustable actuator


meassured up the ct9 to wer it fits proper and redrilled the bracket on it it thn chopped the arm jst the rite size to fit


screwed off the old t15 actuator adjustor




driiled out the adjustor as the ct9 arm as it ticker


and tapped and died both of them


scwred thm toghter


and job done



im on the look out now for the high/low off a glanza if anyone has one as close to free

and cud anyone shed sum light on the how the actuator vacuum ports are run for high/low

made up a 2 stage boost controller there anut and hour ago only took abut 30 mins to make

used an alfa acis solienid
choped up a carb bowl
switch (rocker switch so it cant be switched by mistake)
and a pipe of pipe and a relay

alfa acis solienid


using a rocker switch to be on the safe side so it cant be hit by mistake


used an old carb bowl of one of the quads for the petrol bleeder as ill be using it to bleed air


chopped and filled and was left with this for my bleeder


all bits put toghter


and found the perfect mounting point wer the water bottle used to be


will be testing it out tmoro and will have an update thn

how do you set the boost?

Standard wastegate vacuum to de actuator thn whn ye hit de switch which opens de solenoid which works as bleed valve for high boost simples

yeah but how do you set how much it bleeds off?

By de diy bleed valve atfter de solined jst adjust it till I find .7 bar and lock it

ahh cool, i though it literally just bled of air without control If you had a boost switch you could just set it so that the solenoid is open at low boost and then the solenoid stays closed until .7 bar on high boost
