Sold the Meglio Cup Car... Now project 205...

are you having it mapped soon??whats your spec??

Yeaa next month or so. Getting late in the year tho unfortunately [emoji849].

Standard r26 lump and turbo. Rising rate fuel pressure with modded pump, 3" exhaust / decat and pro alloy intercooler. Smf and r26r clutch etc usual

Did have 630s but don't think I need them as I'm using the modded fuel system.

Aiming for about 280

sounds pretty much the same as everybody elses..do you have a 250 turbo??
so the upgraded pump can push more fuel in without having 630cc injectors being fitted??

Standard turbo. I did look for one but they aren't about mate.

Well it's got the bigger megane pump in the Clio housing, and rising rate fuel pressure on the rail, so you need less duty on boost. The duty will be closer to standard tbh when she's mapped, rather than open the injectors up for longer to allow for no rising rate

So the engine bay is done, she's almost ready to drive as I picked up and assembled the extended shafts today

I'm happy with what I have achieved so far with the conversion, it's definitely got my take on things!

While there are some cons with space in the F4r turbo bays, I have overcome some of these, and even found the odd pro!

This is my version of the meg swap:[emoji469][emoji469]

Top effort. That ram air setup is so good to look at I may try to imitate it one day. Looking forward to seeing before and after results on the mapping.

Who's mapping it?

Yea it's a mixture of boxing it in for cold air, and it keeps the pipe steady. Foamex winning! Feed from obvious hole in bumper and also from wheel well.

It is booked in at EFI this time around

Haha it sounds okay.. I'm still getting used to it, I also think after mapping it should sound a little quieter on boost and hopefully less popping and banging. It's like shooting flames out the side at the minute [emoji23], cool but very anti social!

It's about 70% scorpion, 20% jetex and 10% how can we get this side exit to work lol.

Chassis notching was not what I wanted to do, but it's strong.

Tie-wraps FTW with the heat-shield !

To be fair i joke - the bay looks really tidy buddy. Great install that.

"Chassis notching" has just made me shudder slightly. I'm pretty handy with a 4.5". But someone else would have to do it to my own car....

Looking forward the apre-map vids already :smile:
