Meglio Power Levels.

Posting this in the 200 section as I’m not sure where else to stick it.

Saw this 200 meglio last night at the Porsche Sheffield cars and burgers thing. Owner didn’t care to say much but claimed it’s 400 brake. Is that even possible on a meg lump? Don’t know it was a r26 or rs250 lump but I doubt the owner would have known the difference.

I’m sure @Big Ben hit over 400 on the dyno and turned it down to 380ish to make it a bit safer

Big Bens non Clio

So when are you going to tell him the holes are the wrong way? :poke:

Thank you as always . I will have a read of their thread again later.

It's a 225 engine. 400 is possible, but not without forging and a big turbo, and preferably some kind of boost controller.

 

[Tarticmonkey]

Though forging would be required, as well as needing some extra cooling too.

How do you know it is a 225 engine?

Can tell from the pic. Inlet manifold, throttle body location, and compressor side boost pipe for example

 

[Tarticmonkey]

Thank you for that.

Figures from my buddies Meglio (M3RS swap).

IIRC @KoZa is also running ~400 with his M2RS swap and an upgraded turbo.

I run a forged 225, runs 360bhp, 340torque, and so far, very reliable.

 

[Big Ben]

It’s possible on a forged engine with uprated fuel system and a Garrett turbo. Painfully expensive and still struggle with oil temps but when it’s running right it’s absolutely epic!

 

[S24nrc]

Is this the one that ended up burning down the other night lol.

Turbo definitely looks to be changed from the factory TD04 on that one so I'm guessing 400ish isnt too far off the mark.

 

[burrellbloke]

Yes, it is the one from Tik Tok that was burning.

 

[Tarticmonkey]

It is indeed

Hope he had some fire extinguishers inside and got to it quickly but chances are slim

funnily enough there were about 5 fire extinguishers in the foreground of the video while it was on fire

I noticed that too on the "Birkhouse" clip? I would hope they have all been used on the car

Nah the things toast, he threw some pictures up in a Meglio group chat on FB and the whole things gutted. Apparently a dodgy battery relocation was the cause.

Shit,better put a fuse in mine then.

All the time and money for something silly to destroy it.
