A day of refurbing valves ensues! I always find the exh valves of every F4R engine i've seen are always reasonably pitted on the exhaust valve, takes a considerable amount of time in a drill and lapping to get them back to perfecto 
The engine should be 90% built by tommorow

Trophy Turbo :)
removed vvt id assume.... megane pistons are nice, if you keep them cool.
nice figures laine, didnt know the megane pistons would take that either
Clio T 314hp c43 AMG
They won't it's just a case of how long....
They were tested to 350bhp / 1.5bar on the dyno lol. Perhaps they will let go some day, but it'll get a beating everyday until they do :race:, you guys need to be more optimistic! I did it as a test, if it blows i got a spare block in the shed which i'll forge.
I think the majority of meganne owners get there problems from the single feed fuel rails anyway.

If it lasts which I hope it does, may put ideas in my head lol

THe only issues ive encoutered are its noisy on cold, theres a rattle from somewhere, ive messed up a bearing clearance along the way (probably because i micro polished the crank in my bedroom with sandpaper and shoelace string lol), so engines needs to come out and ill use my other mint crank in the shed. No bother really, theres no metal in the oil.
And after a few spirited drives it appears to consistently missfire at 6000rpm in 5th gear, but not any other gear, weird one which im looking into.
Other than that it goes like absolute s**t of a shovel Surrey RR at the end of the month for some more realistic figures though.

PM AndyRG its his site if Im not mistaken
yeah its is but was on here when i remembered about it lol
172 cup, Impreza P1
It'll be back soon. Slight technical issue that Andy is resolving.
Trophy Turbo :)
Im wanting more boost lol, 1-3rd boost about 1 bar, 4th and 5th load slightly longer and can achieve about 17psi. Im quite happy to push the boundaries of this setup.
Just waiting for the software update then ive got a new file to load to smooth out a few fuel transient problems with a slightly higher target boost and faster wastegate control.
Then off to SRR on 31st August when im almost certain it'll be north of 300.
Turbo studs have backed out and cause the turbo gasket to blow a chunk out, got a new one coming tommorow and going to couple some new studs with some nordlock washers. If that doesnt work ill get inconel studs. Need to put on the downpipe brace i made again too.
Apart from that, new gearbox over winter period at which point ill swap out the crank too.

I'm more impressed by the amount that the fuel needle moves in that video!
No no, its the piss poor renault piston castings that cause it!! oh wait.... havent seen any pistons in pieces either :/
Clio T 314hp c43 AMG
It'll still be better on fuel than I'm used to :dapprove:
Clio T 314hp c43 AMG
I never see over 20mpg know how you feel lol
At the end of the day they should all trim to lambda 1 off boost when cruising and should retain near stock econemy doing so.
Coops i have replaced with a gasket, but have used better fasteners and braced the downpipe to the engine to stop it flexing against the turbo, if it fails again ill bin it!

bin it bin it bin it lol! mines blows a tad when cold, soon as its warm no issues at all and that's done 15k now with no skims or out to the manifold/turbo or downpipe. obviously run manifold to head gasket but that's it in whole system, less to go wrong
I never used to check mpg in my first valver, I was young and petrol was cheap so it didn't matter, but I doubt it was much better. last track day at blyton I averaged 22mpg over the day, including the commute. respectable!

Just read this right from the start, awesome build mate, & great figures.
Speedo looks quick :approve: Didn't notice the fuel gauge at 1st lol.
