Renault 5 GT Turbo / Help with wires

« on: 20:57, Mon 18 May 2009 »

I was wondering if anyone would know what these two wires in the picture are for, the brown wire comes from what I think is the fan relay and the black wire comes out the loom were the relay wires go. I dont think ive ever had the fan come on by its self as Ive always had a switch in the car. I want to get it sorted now but still keep the manual switch. would someone be willing to check the same wires on there car please.  cheers

Renault 5 GT Turbo / smoke

« on: 20:34, Sat 04 October 2008 »

whilst driving today suddenly there was a cloud of smoke behind me that smelt of oil since then it hasnt been to bad but is smoking now and again.  Ive toke off the down pipe at the turbo end and there was no oil and was dry, then I took of the telephone hose and there was a fair amount of oil in there and also the boost hose going to the turbo had a bit in, theres very little play in the turbo.

Im not to sure if the turbos buggerd or its the stem valves or something can anyone help!!

Renault 5 GT Turbo / wideband fittings, readings

« on: 08:19, Thu 28 August 2008 »

Ive just brought a innovate lc-1 windband kit, was just wondering if there will be anything else I will need prior to fitting it eg fuse holders, connections etc..  
Also what readings should I be aiming for, on idle, on boost etc

My car is currently running 14psi boost with a 135 main jet which I discovered when servicing my carb last weekend Im thinking this jet is to big.
