Turbo conversion advice

[Mr Plums]

hardly a trick, thought it was going to be something interesting for a minute:disappointed:

It also stimulates the the crankshaft to time itself to advance the map by using forceps through the pistons for optimum pressure build up by producing internal gasses that multiply and and expand and burn 3000 faster but keep it 4000 times cooler from the .2mm difference.

Hth mate.

you tried, bless ya :hearteyes:

I'm intrigued to what bhp/torque you get via the lower compression with the head gasket v Megane pistons.

Nearly finished my brothers one which had a 1.6mm (I think) head gasket fitted so will know soon, but essentially the limiting factor will be the rods so I think torque at about 250ft/lb would be a sensible limit, mine makes 280 bhp with 250ft/lb with megane pistons so will in interesting to see what my brothers will make

Edit; and how long it will last lol

Has anyone used the SBWorx low boost DIY conversion? Comes in at just under £2k when you add the EFI module. Is the ED DIY kit worth £400 more in regards to quality?

Interesting thread, especially since I'm considering boosting mine in the near future

I'd aim for for the 250/260bhp which hopefully shouldn't need a forged engine and the gearbox would cope, interested to know if this was possible/ideal with the thicker Megane head gasket

I have recently collected a few bits for a turbo build as a little side project for a spare engine I have. I intend to change the HG to the megane purely as I will have the engine in bits for a refresh, otherwise I wouldn't bother
