Sounds much better than my experience of them.

Turning up at 11am shouldn't be a problem as we're not starting until 10am and should be there until at least 12 or 1pm.

Looks great :smile: Just point at the pink sti details if anyone says it's unfeminine....

It would probably do low 13's.

I had all three of these fitted http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=3950&appid=12 When I fitted them to my 172 they improved throttle response and made the handling feel tighter, but on the Megane they caused a lot of harsh vibration for no benefit. It could be mine weren't fitted...

Nice result. Shame I'd need to spend a few more grand on an aftermarket turbo to achieve 400bhp.

I've just caught caught up with the last few months of this thread, amazing work as ever Scott :grinning:

Received thanks :)

Received thanks Chris :)

Plan was to fit my Mocal catch tank yesterday but the rain stopped me. I got home from early today and the weather was ok so I decided to attempting fitting it. Decided to use velcro coins to mount it on the battery tray. Figure they hold my number plates on at 160 so should be up to the job...

I'd leave the power as it is but then I like to take risks lol 295bhp must be close to the limit of the standard turbo. What brand are your engine mounts? I fitted a set of Vibratechnics but sold them after a week as they were awful.

Looks good Oli. Brembos should cope well without the need for cooling.

Yes, as per my message on Facebook :grinning:

Thanks Mark :)

Andy Cutler has Stevie Wonder help him now so confident in Ktec's mapping.

As Fletch said it should be 320 odd hopefully.

It has been a bit of a journey lol No, never taken it on a drag strip. I've never found it that great at getting off the line and even though I've got an R26r clutch and SMF it's still a potential weak point. It's not something that has ever appealed to me either as I've heard RWYB day at...

Cheers Jamie. Yes, ESP is a non-issue really as it doesn't cause any problems when it appears.

Nice build Mark. Do you still have the Megane as well?

Thanks Paul, I'll text you about Friday early in the week.

It's luck of the draw really, the rods were straight when I dismantled the old engine.

Thanks JP, see you at SRR :) Thanks. Was yours the Mk1 on the rollers two or three cars before me? Really appreciate your help Mike, and thanks for fitting me in when you're so busy. Cheers Fletch LOL almost tagged you in that sentence :tonguewink:

It's run three different specs. Originally it was Stage 2 with Forge intercooler, Forge actuator, Forge recirc and 2.75" decat. That made 270bhp and 333lbft at TDF. Then I added the ITG kit, Forge hard pipe kit, 630cc injectors and 3" Ktec exhaust. Went for mapping and turbo was fucked so only...

I wouldn't know how long it takes, first time I went for mapping the turbo was fucked then the second time my timing was out. Hoping for third time lucky. I rung up on Friday asking for the 5th but Specky said they were busy so booked me in on the 6th at 11am.

It should go well then. I'm there on the 6th to get my forged engine and hybrid turbo mapped.

Brakes look good! Hope you get good results at RS Tuning.

It's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I should charge commission for using my photo in the advert :tonguewink:

It must have changed then as mine was Stage 2 with just an intercooler originally. Then when I got it I added a decat etc

R26 looks great :) What spacers have you got? Regarding torque, my old engine ran on a stage 2 map for over 70k miles, majority of time running between 315 and 330lbft of torque. When I stripped the engine down the rods were fine but two pistons were cracked on the ring lands. I don't think...
