    I'm a big fan of the V Evo's. I just rebuilt the engine in my VIII and they're a hugely tuneable engine. Mine is running around 550bhp now and you can't compare it to much else... It spins all four...

    I haven't been on here for a while and you're breaking your car:eek:

    That white shell does look rather awesome though. I'll have to pop on more often to see how this goes.

    My car never used the engine as I didn't build it in the end. Scott Ingram bought it at a near £5k loss on my end because I lost all interest in the build.

    My Evo is the car running 550bhp

    It's the wrong thread for it... But hence my input about the Evo inlet ports. Any kind of restriction in engine flow costs you power. Thanks for clarifying what I was trying to explain.

    You do realise the carb is the biggest restriction on a Renault 5, hence they struggle hugely to make over 250bhp, and I'm not talking bullshit rolling road figures. 30 psi is just not needed on a 5...
