If I go ahead with this, my hybrid setup would be available....

A little tinkering as always, this may not amount to much but we will see.... So I got hold of a Meg 4 RS 280 twin scroll turbo and manifold. The 1.8 is basically a stroked 1.6 engine from what I can tell. Anyway the thought process here, twin scroll gives quicker spool and wider spread of...

Map tweak and tcu flash booked for the 22nd....

Spotted Stonehouse Friday 27th June

With the Clio being mildly annoying I've not actually gotten any further with the turbo build for this, the 8 being used a sthe reliable daily. With the ehat we've had it has been like driving a green house but still plenty of smiles and miles. One of the blokes from work lad asked if I'd give...

I've had a little look around but haven't come up with anything, may just have to slap some upgrades on and make it a worthwhile trip to EFI :D

one thing to note with swapping the TCU, and for those that have mapped cars. The TCU is mapped alongside the ECU, mine is now limiting power/torque to 300nm. Ideally once its proven itself I need to get it in for a reflash (hopefully before CSF)

175 miles covered with no issues so far on the TCU, not beaten the previous best but going well. Also passed its MOT today, minor for a leak/stain on the the undertray which I think is residue from the brake fluid leak, will keep an eye on that though. Would thoroughly recommend Luke at ACG in...

ill bring duct tape (y)

Fingers crossed the replacement TCM doesn't throw a wobbly, and I dont ditch it hard at combe on the 8th, looking forward to it 👍🏼

Chatting with an Australian owner, heat causing tcm issues is common there. He had one replaced on warrantee last year! Shame Renault UK wouldn't entertain that at all. Anyway on to more tweaks, removed the rear hub and fitted up some pure motorsport shims. 1 degree camber and a .1 to toe it...

Gearbox was delivered today, on the wrong driveway further around the cul-de-sac. dragged that thing back to my garage lol. Its a later box and TCU from a 2018 trophy, so say on 30ish k. TCU whipped off and slapped onto the Clio. Reset everything along with the counter on the dash. Lets see...

So woke up early, car drove fine, set off at lunch time and it seemed a little sluggish but covered 75ish miles (temp getting up) started it about 30 min ago, full blown wobbly and not engaging anything, both shift drum actuators not finding position (very hot outside, car saying 34!) I had a...

probably has been, just not documented that I've seen. all looks pnp to be fair, we will see (y)

possibly 🤷‍♂️ id hope that the later the box, the more updated it was. That was my thinking anyway. Watch it bite me in the ass and the later stuff isn't backwards compatible..... 🤣😭
