I'll pm you mate.

Want it?

And got the seats folded down. :rasp:

Will your cat mate with this?

I used an impact gun to get the driveshaft nuts off. Took some going the first time but no bother anytime after that. What is your connection like from your down pipe to Decat/cat? Not sure what you mean. Edit, just checked your pics from earlier on in your thread. That looks like it is to...

Are you going low boost? I have a 2.25" down pipe for Garrett t25/28 turbo if you need one? Make sure you take plenty of pics of everything when you're removing them. It helped me on the rebuild as I didn't do ine straight away after my conversion so things were a little cloudy.

You will never get base mounted seats as low as side mounts. Is the TD manual any good?

The clutch on an evo has a far bigger diameter so this may be possible but on a clio the clutch is only 215mm so to get the friction required for above 240 or so, a 4 or 6 paddle would be required.

Cheers Dan, thought that but wanted to double check. Moving away from the megane stuff now so just need a 2.5" GT28 down pipe now. Cheers for the help again guys and merry Christmas! :D

Currently I have a magane 225 setup using the the standard td04, milltek 2.75" down pipe standard megane 2.25" link pipe and a 2.5" yazza system on a Clio megane hybrid engine. My new setup as it stands is a gt2860 turbo, log manifold, 2.25" down pipe, and then 2.5" Decat system. So ton...

Reason for asking is to know if a 2.25" down pipe and 2.5" Decat system will get me to 300 or will the down pipe need to go to 2.5" as well?

I have a standard link pipe from a megane 225 that is 2.25" dia and so can only presume the whole system on a megane is the same. What is the maximum power you would get from the car on a standard turbo with an exhaust of this diameter? Also, roughly what are the power levels of 2.5", 2.75"...

Same with forge hoses too. Very easy and straight forward.

Ok but you failed to mention that in your post.

You don't need a deep socket. Just let the socket sit on the nut then put the ratchet into the socket as far as it will go. There will be enough inside the socket to turn the nut.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Nice! What's the plans for more?

Re: 172 Cup track toy! What power you running now?

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Hope so. :p Yeah, just standard blue tab megane injectors. You looking to upgrade yours?

Re: 172 Cup track toy! More power! 340bhp has been achieved with this setup although I think I'll probable stop at 300 as I want to use it on track and don't think the box will last long at that power. Everything is off a megane 225 so will go straight back on. ;)

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Little Christmas eve update! Finally got an alternator to get the car running again just in time before the engine is removed. Thought I'd go for a change in direction on my turbo setup. I was offered a Garrett gt2960rs with log manifold, down pipe, deka 630cc...

Mine was mildly lowered on kw v2's with the exact tyres and rubbed quite bad on some corners. Was quite off-putting when you heard it too. Rubbed my front arch liners away as well. I would be looking at dropping a wheel size as I thought I'd get away with it but you won't.

Amazing to see it in the flesh for 2 reasons. 1) it is insanely fast :cool: 2) it is usually broken :( One of the best builds out there for sure when it's working though.

What about these for coilovers and top mounts? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?673708-Bilstein-B14-coilovers-c-w-top-mounts-54mm

Took mine off the heater matrix feed and return. Taking the engine in and out is tight but the more you do, the easier it becomes. I must have had mine in and out at least 15 times during my build and will be taking it out again in the next few weeks. Takes me now about 2 hours to get it out...

The only thing I can think of is the smaller dia out the turbo to aid spool then after the intercooler for less restriction?

Do you need an upgrade intercooler to see that. I've heard of 280 but 290 is very good.

I would go 38 (turbo) to 51 (intercooler inlet) then 63 (intercooler outlet) to 70 (tb). Seems the easiest way to me. I used 63 all the way so there is space and I didnt know what power level I wanted so over specced just in case.

Don't see why not. Won't make too much difference I would think on power but would give you less of a step up, step down route.

Not sure about the t28 but the gt2860 has been seen to 340 so it is possible.

Why go from 38mm to 63mm and then back down to 51mm on the exit of the intercooler then up to 70mm? Seems like a long way for a short cut to me.
