Meg conversion running 270bhp 300lb/ft should be under 4k if using clio box

Cheers for the comments guys, @Rogue it soon gets expensive if you consider the parts alone..

I shudder to think exactly as have done a lot of development at the same time so always makes things a bit more expensive, I reckon it would be no more than 6.5k to be running at 400bhp. Not finished yet, there is still a lot more left in the engine. 450 should be easy enough with a set of...

Yes still great to drive, puts power down very well.. but I run boost per gear, so more manageable..

I agree with above: Clio box does a good job, but motorway miles are a bit annoying due to running higher revs.. The limiting factor and reason I have changed is the bell housing has not got enough depth to get a bigger clutch in. The uprated helix clutch for the clio seemed fine with 300lb/ft

Yep I do, and swear by them. Whether there is much/any advantage on a NA setup on standard power, probably not..

Mine's a 225 ecu as well

I'm happy with the gtx3071 (have a look at the dyno print out on page 25 -makes over 150lb/ft from 2500rpm), but if you want to run at 400 thereabout bhp then the 28 would be a better option. The best option if you can get parts fabricated to suit would be a borg warner EFR 6758, country mile in...

Yeah 393bhp was with a cat fitted

Clio passed its first MOT today with no advisories -not bad 393bhp and fully road legal

Helix Flywheel, Paddle and Cover

As a side note, torque is limiting factor on standard Meg bottom end -300lb/ft seems the agreed limit to avoid rod issues.

Do you know is that the upper, lower or both? lower is bolted to gearbox with a threaded stud coming out from the top, upper is bolted to the car sub-frame with space for the stud to pass through. Cheers Andy

Angel, With the Meg gearbox is the mount to the car sub-frame the Clio or the Meg item? or is it just the lower gearbox mount that bolts direct to gearbox that is Meg? Cheers There is a thread of wiring, parts required that I wrote in the How To section.. If you require a Meg engine I have...
