and... more than likely a new engine?!
Last I heard the new owner blew a massive hole through the front of the block a few months back.... you could fit your whole fist inside it :(
I've got a load of alloy spacers in my garage when I jigged up my 172 seat frames....
I can take a look what I have! They are all drilled and tapped :)
Oh... me, ph-reebone and Bomber are moving to Switzerland, for sure. Where do you live out of interest, Iceman?
From what I've read and heard that was all down to faulty injectors... And people thrashing them from cold, causing a boost spike!
All the ones that have gone bang where all various states of tune.. From stock to stage 2.
I aaaaaaam back.
1600miles around France, Switzerland and the Alps me and the car are back in one piece!
Over three tanks of 98ron and two tanks of 100ron Vpower (only £1.36 p/l in Switzerland!!) I've averaged 28mpg (a fair amount of motorway driving there and back).. So pretty much no change...
I brought most of the items in group buys or second hand off forum members.. It's roughly cost £1100 for all the 'performance parts' not bad for a 80bhp gain over standard ;)
258bhp at the wheels iirc :)
Paul can supply the injectors.... But they can also be had off the t'internet :) Mine are the 'stubby' versions, same physical size as the standard ones.
I went to RStuning in Leeds today to get my Megane mapped... Big thanks to Paul for fitting me in at short notice!
The current spec is...
RStuning hybrid turbo
630cc siemens Deka injectors
Forge recirc - yellow spring
Forge actuator - yellow spring
Milltek turbo back exhaust
Godspeed...
