Postby E M Wynne » Wed Jul 11, 2007 3:06 pm

We,ve just had our customer 24vl. bi-turbo on the rollers.......320 BHP. 408 Nt/mtrs.....Befor you ask I have the graphs & the photo,s off the build.......But for those of you who showed an interest in the mid-engine & the poly-bushed suspension....the photo,s have been with the club for 7 to 8 weeks but as yet have not appered on the club web..I wonder why.

Cheers Eddie.

The main website had crashed and took me a fortnight to re-build :(

See here: http://www.renaultalpineownersclub.com/ ... highlight=

Still catching up on emails, memberships & club newsletter.

Certainly nothing personal.

Apologies. Will get them scanned ASAP.

Why did you stop at 10psi boost?

FYI Tony Smith's readout was 222kW and 476Nm at 1 bar.

What exchange rate? :wink:

There was a run with 250 kw, but it had detonation, the torque could be a bit higher but he's thinking about the gearbox.

No need asking him..the engine was assembled by Ria, and run and tuned on the dutch company KMS's Rolling road. Im told Eddie works for a different company, nothing to do with this car or KMS.

Good thinking on the gearbox... 300ft-lbs is the limit beyond which things will break if not careful. Esp 5th and input shaft coupler. Recently heard of a Venturi 260 stripping its crownwheel too. Owch.
