Nick's LY F1 R27/R26 so much in a year of ownership

[Big4244]

So.. Finally ran it at work on the rollers, and here's the result! Standard R26 ECU file with Milltek R26 decat downpipe and cat back, 197 Milltek cat back with small volume rear silencers, Airtec 70mm meg cooler, Airtec oversize boost pipes and TIP



pretty chuffed with that, wanted it to remain nice and smooth in comparison with the NA so no massive spikes in boost, so for this reason I'll probably not remap it, currently got the innovate plumbed into the decat to check fuelling but all seems good

mine is only 267bhp with 300lb tourque and its mapped

 

[Big4244]

Few more bits eibach 2 1/4" race springs, spring top
caps and adjustable top mounts



Also my streamline gear knob has arrived, had to be a clio top but with meg layout, got them to do it in yellow too!






New R26 injectors just for peace of mind and not bad at £140



And finally put a mild map on, much better than before and not pushing it to its max

 

[Tutuur]

Lovely mate, exactly how Renault should've made it from factory!!

 

[Big4244]

More goodies fitted

Revised design Reyland 330mm brake kit







Mintex F2R front pads and 1144 rear pads

 

[Big4244]

Also did a complete brake and clutch flush/bleed with Motul RBF660 fluid

 

[Chris]

Very nice and smart obviously running more horses

 

[Big4244]

Cheers I did have 1144 front pads before and grooved brembo discs, they were fine for the N/A engine but I've killed them now

 

[TB Rich]

Are they longer HT bolts now shipping in the kits?

 

[Big4244]

Yeah @TB Rich new designed caliper spacer (not round washers) and longer bolts to suit, apparently the original set up was specced by the reseller

 

[TB Rich]

ffs! So first thing I did when I got my kit was question the round spacers and the lack of HT bolts. Suffice to say a reseller was quick to say no issues don't worry.

Tbh the old round spacers - not too much of an issue because of the way the hub faces are... but lack of bolts did annoy me when all the other kits (well PF and Godspeed) did provide them.

I'll be ringing Reyland to get the updated bits though, cheers dude.

 

[Steve Murr]

Nice - although surprised you didnt go for the jhook finish!

Very nice brake discs pal. How much if you don't mind me asking and where from?

Little visit to [MENTION=3735]Luke_197[/MENTION] this evening for some different wheels



also converted my B14's to run 80n/mm race springs and the solid top mounts, much better body control now! Can't wait to try them on track

 

[Big4244]

Quick wash and purple haze wax

 

[Luke_197]

Looking good mate, just need to get those new wheels on now.

 

[Chris]

Looking smart!!!

 

[Rs200 Paul]

Nice build so needing force induction :thumbup1:

 

[Big4244]

Realised I have no pics of the 2 1/4" race spring conversion, solid mounts fitted.. So whilst at work doing the alignment (inc shimming the rear) I grabbed some pics

Alignment before:



and after, much better, less rear toe, can easily get more front camber but quite a drive to donington so stuck with 2 degrees



Rear 80n/mm X 170mm spring



and front setup, don't be alarmed by the fluid on the dampers, it's forklift grease, keeps the threads lovely

 

[Stephenvenning]

Looking good mate bet that handles like a dream with your btcc knowledge.
