UPDATE:
Really haven't kept this up to date recently so here goes.
For most this few months i have put more miles on the car however i developed a 4th gear synchro crunch. So two weeks ago i took the opportunity at taking the engine and gearbox out to sort a few niggles out as well.
-Fixed synchro ring
-Re routed the fuel lines
-Tidied up wiring and relocated fuse box
-Fitted new repadded clutch plate.
-Full service
-Bolt check
-Re-wrap the downpipe
Took about 4 days to complete the job, a day of this was spent fixing the gearbox and giving it a good service, all went quite well and the car drove fine. i also took the opportunity to make an upgraded lower dog bone mount to reduce the engine movement.
This essentially was preparation for mapping, this took place yesterday and the day went very well. Started by installing the 630cc injectors and forge actuator with 20psi spring. Then Chris @ EFI started his magic. Took a few pulls to setup the actuator (It was preloaded a bit to help it hold boost), at the end of the day it was producing 326HP and 305 Ft/Ib as I wanted to keep it torque limited. The last pull was a bit down on power at 321HP due to the ambient temps of 30C, so when cold I could see a increase of 5-10HP.
Wow, what can i say, this thing is now an absolute monster and is bloody involving. The clio box is taking it all in its stride and due to this it still regains the Clio's fun and playfullness driving characteristics. Even better B road basher now.
The car is still capable of more power of over 360HP but i wanted to keep it at this power due to the relatively unkown strength of the gearboxes.
Have noticed a slight problem that the clutch master cylinder is leaking slightly but this will be replaced in the next few weeks, its only weeping slightly.
Thanks
