Ideas

Post by TurboTomSportive » 25 Oct 2011 07:15 pm

You may have seen before i had a thread about temporary B14 mods until i get round to dropping in my renault 5 turbo b14.

Well as i need a new clucth (30k miles from new, all seem to have been riding the clucth!)...and the need to convert to 5-speed. I've been toying with the idea of converting to 360 running gear. engine/box/etc ...Although i believe the 360 carb isn't very powerful (around 100bhp).

So in likelyhood am i better to drop in a 360 lump or just try and convert my B14 to run twin carbs, Say some off of a smaller engined bike (600cc ish)...I can make a custom manifold at work so mounting them won't be a problem but its setting up the little bits (new pump, throttle linkages etc) that i'm not 110% sure about. Anythoughts on this? and does anyone have a complete 360 running gear setup for sale?

Other than twin carbs, what else could i realistically do to my B14, I could uprate plugs and leads, decent exhaust (what do people recommened). But what else is possible? anybody supercharged one?

If you go to 360 running gear your best off ripping the 2.3 turbo out of a 940 and sticking that in the front :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: you wont be complaining about lack of power for a longgggg time 8)
