Engine dynamics did the hard works for us. Theres a comparison table of different HG's and Cylinder heads and the resultant compression ratio achieved.

It's about how well its built, not driven

Cams blanking caps can pop out when the engine excessively breathes on turbo clios. They dont' just "fall out"

Take it all apart, you'll have to re-seal the cam cover properly.

What cam timing did you use?

You'd clearly be able to tell if it genuinely had 35psi across all cylinders the engine would turn over very fast.

Consistent drop across all cylinder would indicate slipped timing in my opinion.

Do it really crudely, use a 5th injector as said in the manifold, give it a regulated feed of petrol, splice into the injector wiring and use a hobbs boost switch in tandem so its only active on boost* Providing you did a bit of testing and tested a few different sized injectors, it might work...

The trumpets need space to breathe, the area around the lip of the bellmouth is important to overall flow and using sock filters will compromise this.

And to have a 182 diff put in at the same time is an extra £50.

£275

Manifold to turbo gasket is non essential, i blew a few and got fed up replacing them and decided to not run one. You get a minor blow for about 30s-1min on startup as soon as theres a bit of heat the metal expands and it forms a good seal. I'm guessing most are using M8 to m10 step studs (M10...

The filter sock pulls off the bottom of the pump. Rinse/clean and refit. You don't need to replace the pump.

Official figure is 3.1 Litre i think, but i always buy 3L and thats enough.

I got a swirl pot and external fuel pump setup in my cup if you are after any advice / help / pictures on how to route stuff :)

it should come pre-working (if you bought it new), Ktec will make sure it has the correct firmware for the car (i.e ph1 vs ph2 vs ph2 cup e.t.c), and it will literally plug in and turn key start.

They are Megane RS wossner pistons (not the clio turbo specific ones), they were actually ordered by mistake but we stuck with them, they maintain the stock compression ratio on the meggy at 9:1. According to Engine dynamics the cyl head volumes are the same on the Clio and Meggy F4R's. So i...

Yeah EGT's are always a worry, i dont have a sensor so i dont know what its reaching, im very much playing the game of "there no gauge on my dash to worry me, so i wont worry". :D . I have some sort of reassurance, in that my friends Mk1 with F7P Turbo (2871'd with with the log also), which...

You need to log it under steady closed loop conditions, i.e say 4th gear at 30-40mph with light throttle. The sensor output should oscilate regularly between max and min (i guess 0v to 5v), to show that its properly sensing lean and rich conditions with quick response and trimming the fuel...

I have the direnza one also and would reccomend.

High Boost Graph; Low Boost Graph; Mapping day brought all sorts of problems, seized lambda sensors, exploding coolant bottles, popped heater matrix pipes, self loosening power steering pipes, fuel leaks, front bumper continually popping out at the side from scrubbing issues. Im am shocked i...

It is done! 311bhp / 266ft lb @ 11psi (low boost) 413bhp / 367ft lb @ 22psi (high boost). It is savage beyond belief but i have a heck of a lot of teething problems to sort. a proper update at some point this week.

Just made it made, its some 2mm aluminium sheet with some holes drilled in, i need to change it though to some 3 or 4mm ally as its currently too flexible and the mount slips off when car is used hard, but it works well to keep the tail pipe dead centre when its on.

I do it the other way and just dissconect from pump, take off battery tray so you can pull the line up past it, and leave it all connected at the rack, and the rack attached the subframe.

A drop in charge temp will always net you some free power, but its not going to rock your world.

Some food for thought, its how i did mine, but i did have a customer exhaust made so the hanger points wont be there on your systems. But a modified main mount with a powerflex bush to hang the weight of the system on, and another mount to stop side to side movement, its works well.

Subscribed, fair play buddy thats a lot of work. My mate used to own the car in 2007, it was a nice car :)

Im only replying to this as you seem quite confident in your answers, but they arent correct. Some of these are from your posts! Over 5k the car is in open loop mode and the lambda sensor will have no input into the fuelling requirements of the engine. Lamba's are used for closed loop control...

They are M8, not M6.

Without the clips the rattling drove me mad, over every little road imperfection they would rattle around made the car sound broken. I retrofitted the clips form the pads i took out by drilling holes in the CL pads. Never heard them rattle again after..
