K-tec ones are a bit pricey, i can get a std OE Valeo replacement for £80
(i have one thats done 1400miles for sale, it still has valeo writing on the clutch surface!! for sale for £40)
IMO they dont, I warped my std ones (this is a 1.2 16V BTW!!) it uses the same discs as the willy/valver and R5 pads
Its horses for courses, ive tried these cos theyre cheap (retail is over £100 for em, my mate sparkie works for French German and Welsh car parts)
They feel much better than...
wheels wont fit, wrong offset and PCD
you can put any engine in any car, it just all depeneds on how much money youve got!!!!
Youll need custom mounts, driveshafts looms wont work etc etc
is it a good idea to paint the inlet surface??? i hope you havent done the exhaust side too!!!!
will it form a 100% seal between the inlet and the head with the paint on there???
(looks cool though!)
yep gearbox (prob gonna be off a diesel van!!) The lump im using is a F4R turbo engine (looks the same as a 172 engine but isnt)
gonna need bigger injectors plus some other stuff, budget is about £2500-£3000 should be good for well over 200bhp
its what ever floates your boat!!!! Im going turbo for mine, DIY job, im not paying K-tec £7K for it!!! (as good as they are)
I already have the turbo block (much stronger the the 172 lump) plus turbo etc etc etc

na mate, just getting started!! i think im gonna have a crack at doing it, but if not, mr GDI will be getting a phone call!! i have SO many parts you wouldnt believe!!!!
The engines im using are already low comp, i think theyre 8.6:1 IIRC
plus my engines have much stronger cranks and blocks, different head (no VVT)
youd be surprised by the difference in crank between the 172 and turbo!!!
You mean this turbo Master Chief???

BTW if the parts you bought off mailto:M@thew">M@thew originally came from Captain Slarty, then im afraid theyre not Megane RS parts, similar, but different!!! They are infact Vel Satis...
keep watching chaps!!! coming soon!! :devilish:
BTW to look at the engine is virtually identical
Meggy RS uses the F4R 774
Vel Satis uses F4R 762/763
172/182 uses F4R somenumbericantremember
