Renault 5 GT Turbo / Carb Pipes, Am I doing somthing wrong?

« on: 22:04, Tue 09 June 2009 »

Ive searched till im blue in the face but still can't find the answer to my question.

Im paranoid that the pipes on a car im looking at are wrong.

Here is how it is...

Pipe off the back of the accelerator pump: This is currently rigged up to the plenum.

Large dia pipe towards the base of the carb: This is blanked off, I think its meant to go to the actuator but this car has a sensor pipe off the comp cover.

Small dia pipe sticking out of the big triangular boss, its a pipe without a ridge on it. This is rigged up to the AEI unit. Im not sure about this.

If anyone could confirm these or point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Newbies / Hello from Huddersfield!

Hello,

I've never really dealt with R5's before so i suppose im here to learn!

Im not sure if its any of the guys from here but i frequently see a few R5Turbos drag racing at york (21st of this month guys!) and its great to see them hold there own with some of the newer front wheel drive cars.

Im an engineer by trade for a company called Cummins Turbo Technologies (AKA Holset). Ive got a decent knowlege of cars and mechanics but am still learning with turbo petrols!

Im here really because im currently building a bit of a buggy with an aircooled beetle engine. ive got a standard R5 turbo and im hoping to use most bits off an R5 (fuel pump, carb, pressure regulator, and possibly some of the ignition) to make it all work. not after big power (120-150 BHP) just a strong motor with a bit of poke.

Hope im welcome (lol!)
