Think Jonny is pushing 315ish with a RS tuning map on standard internals on his 265 with no probs and that can shift,Will be nuts in a clio!!
It'll be awesome Pete, if you went for Shaky's fuel pump and 630's you'd see a lot more power Theres 250's over in euopeland pushing 360bhp on std internals and std turbo. However, the Clio fuel pump is a massive stumbling block in reaching the really high figures. I'll be getting one myself in due course.
What you doing about the gearbox, Clio or meg.. you've probably mentioned it already, blonde moment. :rofl:
Meg box, quaiffe diff! I decided not to keep the Clio box because of lack of faith in it's reliability. I've just had 1 replaced so I know how fragile they can be...It's getting short shifted so I hope it will be reasonably quick through the gears as well.
Engine is all standard. Fueling is having a little upgrade. Hybrid turbo and bigger intercooler will help...
250 engines are forged anyway? So without spending big bucks on it, I think this is about the maximum I can go.
Have had to spend big bucks on the gearbox tho.
I'll let you have a little drive if you come to the coastal run. I think I owe you lol
SATURDAY!
Collection day booked...spoke to Ste this evening. Engine is built, couple things due in tomorrow. Should be all built by Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to map and test drive for a couple days...then BOOM. She's mine.
Decided to take the plung and invest in a boost controller. Will help oodles with traction, however, they come with a hefty price tag. Ste recommended getting one with 3 programmable settings. Low, high...and maniac. Ha
Can guarantee this week will drag like a bitch.
4 hour drive home will be fun tho.
Collection date has been shifted to 27th June. Ste was missing some parts for the engine that need to be ordered in from France...it sucks but not a lot I can do.
Gives him more time to do a few extra things for me anyway. I think the boost controller will look epic where it's being placed.
