My new engine work!!!!!

[Ozi]

Don't forget a new gearbox to cope with the torque of a forced engine (don't really think the std one would last long) and a LSD to bring the power on the road :biggrin:

Megane R26 anyone? :lol:

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

LOL, true Ozi!!! I forgot that!!

 

[simoxmino]

kevo.. 40bhp is too for me.. ok the response but 40bhp you must work on the head engine and cams too

shortly i'll work on a head engine, what cams do you recommend?

 

[richandgem]

surely of you want a turbo you'd have brought a Meg

stndard box would be fine with forced induction, but the LSD is a good shout.

F4R 830 engine wouldnt be a good base for forced induction though, far better dropping in a F4Rt mated to the standard box


What happened to Seans? Was this the one that was going to GDi?

It was, I'm not 100% on the details but as I understand it they put a supercharger on it, got to 280bhp and the engine let go

No head work! It has cams!

It made 184 STD!! I got my workings wrong lol! I worked it out from what its now at 170!

It will be nearer 30BHP up on STD!

Its Omex themselves doing it GDI arent!!

And they popped it!!

 

[stumac1985]

That was clever of them, lol.

very:001_rolleyes:
280bhp on standard internals is a little silly

 

[stumac1985]

You say that, but wasnt RS Tuning running 300bhp on standard internals during testing of the 1*2 kit?

I remember him saying he was pushing it to breaking point, but that it never popped?

Nb I could be completely wrong and have simply dreamnt this...

 

[Ozi]

Why would you run an engine until it breaks? There are other methods to deteminate how much the internals can handle :mellow:

 

[stumac1985]

was an old engine that needed rebuilding if i remember correctly..


just had a look through the old thread, he was adding bits here and there and testing the results etc. Lots more to it than taht and 14 pages of information - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=296733

Oh and it got to 312bhp on standard 100k mile old bottom end.

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Small update!!! Pedals sorted and mounted, major ballache I hear!!

Need to decide what spacing I want though!!

 

[stumac1985]

You've got to have at least a 50mm gap mate.

European regs

 

[richandgem]

but not to big a gap, you need to be able to heel toe

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Really??? Hmm I'll get Matt to measure!

 

[stumac1985]

Yes mate, Ece regulation 35

 

[sideways danny]

PMSL, those regs are for new manufacturing

 

[stumac1985]

According to sparco they cover aftermarket parts as well.
