    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    My pump makes 5 bar of pressure at the rail.

    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    Thanks. Can't find a replacement tbh so just continued going. Thought get a 250 but would just end up doing the same as I've done with Clio. Think of buying a damaged 200T and running 275 engine with a manual gearbox. Just waiting for the right car to turn up.

    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    TB Rich Yep all returnless. yep Clio runs reg in tank which is 3 bar. It built in the swirl pot where the 172/82 sits outside of the swirl pot so I guess it regs it somewhat different? 225 pump doesn't fit. Neither does the 250. Speak with shakyhandman, he'll build you a pump. It's in principle...

    Bonnet vent

    The bigger rad would help but I'm not entirely sure would solve it. Also not sure there's enough room for a bigger rad. The engine bay is ridiculously hot especially when the ambient temps are higher and I'm sure it's harder for the heat to disapate out the engine bay than in the Meg. Stating...

    Bonnet vent

    Been researching the issue for two years now. Don't think the larger rad will solve it but might help. I think its water flow with the problem being a localised boiling issue. Megs don't have the same as I'm told the bulkhead is more bellowed and therefore better airflow. I'm told by Renault...

    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    Need to look at the exhaust, the supersprint flows to around 230 so clearly the smaller pipe work is going to be restrictive. Need to consider selling the rear cans for custom 3' rear section.

    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    Ive had the 250 conversion for 3 years and seen 2 others. 350bhp is hard to make. Even forged Meg's 225 need something beyond an hybrid to see 350. My fuel pump now makes 5 bar but something is holding back seeing these figures. We think it might be related to the VVT. To date we haven't been...

    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    Not sure my updated fuel pump will be up to it. I think it will require a return system and swirl pot to see those kind of numbers.

    Clio Meg RS320bhp conversion (update Meg Rad)

    Expensive year so far. DMF and clutch done, hybrid done, lots of front suspension bits done. Bonnets gone to be painted LY. The list continues, needs some front pads, cup ARB, new front tyres......and the time to turn up the boost. Hoping to see 330bhp+

    Powerflex bushes & engine mounts

    Just done the top arm and engine mount insert. The extra torques mullered the existing ones. I must say the benefits are superb in the cars balance is soooo much better and handling is now crazy. Downside, the vibration. It's eased a little but still very much there. It's these mods that just...

    Strut braces. Are they worth it?

    Might try the rear Arb.....

    Problems with Dealer

    Personally, it's how you say it. If you've fitted the braces yourself, then you would say 'in my experience' but to comment on something you never fitted, I'm not sure that's the place of mods. I'm sure if you owned the strut company, I'm sure you'd want people of such influence only commenting...

    Glad it's resolved. I spoke with him on another matter and I know that this was on his radar. I take it foxspeed will be 'thanking' this reply?

    Im not suggesting members don't have any rights to express their views, I'm simply expressing my own. Regarding moderators, the only view in my opinion they should be sharing is the forums. They can't represent their own and the forums unless they are the same I guess. People do take on board...

    Problems with Dealer

    That's not the point @Pav. If a moderator only thanks the posts that he agrees with, that gives the impression that's the forums view as that's what they represent isn't it, the forum? The forum represents Traders too. Yes people can make their own opinions and share their own views but that's...

    Problems with Dealer

    Said it before and I'll say it again. The idea of polarising one trader based on individual experiences is wrong. Companies make mistakes. Some are fixable and others unfortunately are not. When your on the receiving end, it's not great as I have been but you have the choice to vote with your...

    Problems with Dealer

    Each to their own. Shame cause not saying that there haven't been issues but typically the many happy customers will always be lost to the unfortunate negative experiences. The forum isn't the barometer of everyone's experiences I guess and people have the option to not use him or anyone else I...

    Problems with Dealer

    Not sure the purpose of the forum is to allow people to just post slanderous comments without them be substantiated. Anyway, not sure of the circumstance in this case and I know Rouge wasn't happy too but it's not my experience. Not saying everything is perfect and I've had issues with my own...
