My old GT 1.2 TURBO was a racecar and was better than all your RS' because it had a TURBO on its 1.2, ran on additives and lightened the lot from the sunroof to the wheel bolts yo, unfortunate I had a real forge dump valve that wasn't as good as one of those £30 fakes of eBay that last forever and are just as good as a real one!
Just thought I'd let Renaultsport know they made the GT better than their Renaultsport version and they clearly know nothing about cars and clearly I have no idea why someone would go to a 1.6n/a from a turbo car because turbo is the best.

Just looked up some spec's on the 133 engine as I know crap all about it. Surprised by how little torque it has, surely the figures I was looking at are wrong because says its only has 4lbs/ft more torque than a GT?? (Don't worry I don't think my GT could come close to an RS, just expected the 133 to be more torquey)

The GT is turboed, so there's more air (therefore fuel) in the cylinder than the 1.2 capacity would imply. Hence, the peak torque being higher than a 1.2 N/A engine,
However, being as power is dependent on torque and revs, the lower rev limit of the GT and drop off from peak torque means less power.

My spud gun has punched a hole in 22mm plywood before. Even a peanut dents a toolbox :mrgreen: 22mm bore pneumatic piston cannon FTW.

My spud gun is purely compressed air- 250psi and a shuttle valve to allow the compressed air from the storage vessel through into the barrel.jra3d":3vhe9y3z said:
Though, thinking about it, combustion based spudguns could be compared to N/A and turbo engines :? ...
A standard combustion cannon is usually two tubes. One for the barrel, connected to another larger tube for the combustion chamber which has a spark generator in it. Ram a spud down the barrel, remove the back of the combustion chamber and give it a good squirt of something flammable (linx deodorant is good), refit the back of the combustion chamber and trigger the spark. Boom...
Now, if you want a bigger boom then you could build a bigger cannon. That's the easy way. The alternative is to build a hybrid canon based on the basic combustion cannon, but built from heavier duty tubes (preferably steel tube). The big difference is there's a plastic disc built in to separate the barrel from the combustion chamber and also a Schrader valve to allow the combustion chamber to be presurised (turbo charged) and also injecting a metered amount of fuel (custom remap). The resulting bang from a perfect mix will give a much higher output than above, rupturing the plastic bursting disk and giving you high speed mashed potato
