Here are a few pics of my 1988 R5 Turbo, 50k on clock and has run like new for 6 months that i have owned it and not 1 problem. Most of the engine has been changed or uprated in some way hence the power althought traction in lower gears is a problem :) Full spec to be added soon!

looks good mate, be nice to no what engine spec you have if you have 225 bhp, do you have a print out to say its 225bhp or is that what you have been told
-
print out was 215 ish but now running slightly higher boost so should be 220 - 230

what spec is the engine ?
-
ill write up a full spec in the next few days and to all other leave a post n let me kno wot u think thanx!!
-
there's a lot of red going on in the bay. looks good. and the charge cooler is different, who makes it? looks cool, and really suttle 8)
-
charge cooler was in wen i bought it, ill dig out the invoices and find out for ya m8
-
Very nice 5, looks like a ton of work has been done.. and thats going to be a spec in the distance with that power.. keep up the good work 8)
-
nice looking 5 mate 8)

I take it you tryed to race it in liverpool? yeh it is pretty quick! since i bought it its had new clutch as the paddle clutch on it was a pig to drive and its been striped out. future plans......... bit more power and some restoration to the body work make it look how it should!
-
yep had a race with it so fast. dont know how u r going 2 make it faster. looks good.
-
Ok so at the minit the car is running around 220 - 230 bhp, im gonna push it to 300 at whatever the cost but this will mean having to change alot of parts allready on even some bodywork but idont no where to start!! can any1 point me in the right direction??
-
I'll point you in the right direction mate, it's called the bank as you'll need a fat loan to get 300bhp out of the C1J & keep it running ;)
If you want that sort of power get a loan for £3-4k & do the clio conversion, it is proven to take 300bhp+ easy, the C1J can be done but not to a road car IMHO.
250-260 is about manageable mate, as i'm about to ind out.
You need to get the fueling sorted, very hard at that boost (30psi+) big lag monster turbo, a cam of some sorts, prob a custom jobbie, forged pistons & prob steel liners, headwork, prob big valve head.
NOS maybe as well.....
Lightened & balanced engine, twin or tripple plate clutch...
Why do you want 300 bhp in a road car anyway, just to brag to ya mates you have a 300bhp GTT ??
If so stick a big arse turbo & NOS on it & go to the local rolling rd, it will be shit on the raod though.
It's a 1.4, 50 year old engine (the design) at the end of the day ;)
-
300 is possible, but like u say it will need alot spending to keep it running. 260 bhp is fast enough tho giving around a 4 - 4.5 0 to 60 and top speeds of 150+ but still i have the money to spend so well c wot happens
-
300 bhp in a 5 would be wild but i think its a bit to much and 250 would be more fun and probally more reliable, ive spent a fortune on my engine gas flowed head stage 3, cam, ect ect and now iam looking at a big turbo and a bigger intercooler as i want to run about 200bhp and still have the car be reliable as it only ever comes out on a sunday and i dont want to spend all week fixing it.
-
LOL, sorry about that, i must have hit edit (on your post) instead of qoute, i do that a bit on here at the mo :oops:

my daughter would love it if i got pink wheels
-
300BHP would be wild, i'm just running 15psi carb top (about 150BHP maybe?) and already it feels to quick for the rest of the car. I think maybe i should have a look at handling and stopping before i push for any more. :lol:
