Just back from Leeds, after setting off from home at 3.30am lol
Spent a while talking to Paul - top guy who had all the time in the world for me, mega customer service and I really can't talk highly enough of him and rs tuning - and Specky, who is mental lol
Spoke through what I wanted and as it's primarily a road car we agreed on 280bhp and 280 lb-ft. He got to work fitting the 250 turbo, and noticed an oil leak. Turned out the turbo oil pipe was cracked, and had sprayed oil over the block. So this was fixed and the 630cc injectors were fitted, then the car was mapped. In the end it made 277.5bhp and 285 lb-ft torque. It could have made more but the exhaust system is holding it back. Honestly I'm not fussed, Paul took me round the block in the car once finished and it's ridiculously quick. So that'll do me, other than tidying the car up cosmetically that's my spending done.
I also had an interesting chat with Paul re a few things;
This conversion "doesn't need a megane radiator". Rs tuning don't bother with one with their conversion builds. The engine will sit at 90-odd degrees all day quite happily. So in short I won't be bothering.
Nor will I be bothering with the engine dynamics cooler thermostat, as this is also not necessarily.
Most importantly, I won't be using waterless coolant. Apparently it's highly flammable, and if you have a water leak and it catches a hot enough engine part, up it goes lol So that's the bottle I bought going on ebay lol. It's banned in some racing series for this reason.
It took around 5 hours to fit the turbo and injectors, and Paul only charged me for two. Now that's customer service.
Overall, the car is mega. It pulls and holds boost all the way to the red line, and it did 35.5mpg on the way home at a steady 70mph. I'm now even more excited for Spa.
I'll put a pic of the graph up tomorrow, but now I'm off to sleep lol
