#1: twingo gt project (twingers) *more stuff done!* Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 7:54 am ---- well guys im back here with another W.I.P thread (the nickname pride goes to Quarmbo for his erm... ingenuity xD )
alot of you will know why my last one has stopped
any way
here we have a twingo gt on a 57 reg with 13k miles on it
according to renault she pushes out 100 bhp from a 1.2 TCE motor (1.2 16v turbo)
couple of things about the motor if people don't know
it has a water cooled turbo
sodium cooled valves
water/oil heat exchanger.
i know i know... sounds expensive for parts you'd be right xD
this is how it was bought
then the parts started to arrive
wind deflectors already
my old zorst went on off the 206
induction kit!
canbus led sidelights and HiD's
obviously some photo's had to be taken
bonus of it being so narrow
then a problem occured...
K&N's induction kit that was made for this car has a design fault... there is no weight supporting the filter so it vibrates out the pipe! i tightened it up thinking it was just me and oops! i put a crack in it
i thought about it and reckoned if there was another bracket like the one in the kit it might support it... so i queued the music and found my workshop
bracket made to sit under the jubilee clip that holds the filter to the pipe
sadly after what seemed like sucess it failed again the vibrations were jsut too much for it so i had another think and remembered the bit of stainless pipe i got bent for the 206
now i know some people might spot the cable ties and the block of wood but please do understand this is temporary till i get a bracket welded on the pipe so it holds itself up off the engine mount and sparker leads.
also!
removed the twingo sticker from the back. Must've been made of kevlar! it took chunks out of me and my mates nails trying to peel it off!
there's much more to go with the little thing i.e
remap
FMIC kit
rest of the zorst done
lowered
alloys
interior
and various little things
hope i didn't bore you!
1.2 TCE GT 3d 0-60 9.5 s top speed 117 mph

(from parkers website)
in comparision to my old car

#4: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:00 am ---- those stats are for a standard 206 instead of my mapped one
but this would still hand the derv it's a**e!
it has overboost aswell
#5: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:02 am ---- Think their great little cars, could just do with the back end treating to some goodies. 197 style diffuser? twin exhausts?
#6: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:05 am ---- there is a diffuser apparently but there's not a clear photo
but twin zorst is on my list
also looking at something like anthracite clio 182 wheels
#7: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:10 am ---- sweet very very sweet...you forgot a key mod though! the ross kemp boot install!
#8: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:12 am ---- he costs alot though as the previous owner didn't tick that option
#9: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:17 am ---- What does mapping get out of the little thing? 120?
#10: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:26 am ---- well ktec's gt with a panel filter an straight through exhaust got 115bhp and after a map it got 130
and a guy has the fmic on it with a map and it's been estimated to be pushing 145-150bhp
those stats are for a standard 206 instead of my mapped one
but this would still hand the derv it's a**e!
it has overboost aswell
Pfffffffffft. Never.

You mean the renaultsport? I like the idea of the 1.2 turbo, the renaultsport seems a bit predictable with a 1.6 NA
#14: Re: twingo gt project (twingers) Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Jul 08, 2010 8:35 am ---- can't get insured on it its a group 8 where as this is a group 5
plus with a bit of tinkering it can blow a renaultsport away
