What made you switch from omex to adaptronic?

The adaptronic has a lot more capabilities than the omex

so I had to take a little break from the project I laid a concrete base then built a double length garage in my garden after loosing my storage but it’s much nicer the cars being home.
I’m quite lucky to have rear access and just enough room to park a mk1 or mk2 between the garage and the gates I know no one cares about the garage but I’m quite proud lol

And so the project starts again I wanted to get my head ported and after a lot of uming and aring I decided it was best to use the 2.0 head off a Megane f7r. Mainly because it has 33mm valves but also because it has the best design ports for flow. The other difference is that the Megane uses coil packs not a dizzy im not using the dizzy anyway no not a problem for me .
So the heads been ported new valve guides valves lapped in then going for a clean and all the other rubbish it needs so should come back nice and fresh ready to bolt on
While this was being done I sent of the rocker cover cambelt cover and thermostat housing for paint in the oe colours

Tiny update the original egr hole just happened to be 12mm so it’s been drilled out to 12.5 and tapped to m14 to accept the Clio air temperature sensor
Since the egr bolt holes were now idle seemed to be the ideal place to mount the bracket for the map sensor
