I suppose A610 manioflds on the open market are like hens teeth?


You can buy one new from Renault.

I have always kept my white Atmo because of the condition and the ABS + all the time and money I've spent on it.

You could always fuel inject the oddfire in situ with the turbo inlet manifold. That's what I'm doing.

Well I think the early Laguna V6 with fuel injection is the best option. (Is that the Z7U) You should easily find a decent engine for about £150-200. You'll need an ECU allow about £6-700 probably, and get an exhaust from Mecaparts off David. Allow a bit for new fuel pump and setting up and you should get 200hp without too much problem.

If you want more power after that go and get a rotrex supercharger like Mr dell and get another 50-100hp.

All IMHO of course. Not withstanding the fact that I'm doing a 24V conversion!

Supercharging is the way i am going,but haven't found a company yet willing to give advice on options!!!
I want a whipple type charger as this will give near instant boost and go right on to the red line.
Trouble is i have only found one company that does them and they aren't returning my emails!

Maybe i should just leave it as it is!??? :evil:

From the web-site:

"Whipple Superchargers is owned and operated by it’s founder Art Whipple"

and such classics as "WHAT SEPERATES WHIPPLE FROM THE COMPETITION"

They actually call it the 'whipple charger'...... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I like this cos it can be fitted where the a/c compressor goes, it's compact too....
Gonna be a while before I can afford one though!
