Broken the 500hp barrier in the Megane!

[RSTuning]

Still on the stock ECU but with a boost controller to make it easier to turn down!

 

[Addicted]

impressive!

video?

 

[Paul.M]

Awesome!
Are you the first person to do this? or are their other meganes this powerful out there?

 

[Matt Cup]

600bhp next?

 

[jamier27]

Jeeeez

Now enoughs enoughs lol

 

[RSTuning]

impressive!

It was video'd but not on my phone and he had to go so will get it next week.

I think it's the first, well not heard of any others yet...

 

[RSTuning]

It looks like the stock intake and throttle body are stopping us at 511, i went up to 2.2 bar and it made 475lbft but the same power and knocked a little....

 

[Dean.]

Stock throttle body is tiny! Any gains for changing it on a stage 1'd megane?
Nice results btw.

 

[SkidMarx]

Awesome, good work!

Gearbox must be near its limit tho!?

You would need a new intake mani too so it would hardly be stg1 anymore haha

I think so yes!

 

[Will.]

What's the spec on this thing then?

 

[.Kev.]

How's the power delivery on the road?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Looks like a great torque curve that, must be VERY quick in the real world, even more so than the headline power figure suggests in fact.

How come you are only revving it to 6750 though? Looks like it would be worth hanging on a little longer?

Looks to me like its hit a flow restriction with how flat the power curve has gone, if so any idea what?


Very cool!

Ignore my question above, didnt read the whole thread before I replied, so didnt see you had already answered it.

 

[RSTuning]

What's the spec on this thing then?

Cams, injectors, forge cooler, intake pipe and piperx filter, built engine, GTX3071, tial flanged exhaust manifold, external bosch 044 pump with 2lt swirl pot.

I think thats about it

 

[RSTuning]

How's the power delivery on the road?

With 485 it needed to be 100% dry to grip mid third but not driven it like this yet because it's raining!

 

[kpowell911]

This is amazing! Any pics/spec list?

I took it to 7k on that run chip, it's spinning as it comes on boost so making the run look short. It pulls to 7 and keeps revving to 7250 but as you see up top it's struggling.

If the tyres had not gone off i think it will post 525hp and 465lbft. They are rather sticky now but will be ok when it goes back on the road for a few miles.

 

[Bobby.]

That's epic. What is like driving with that?

 

[Sam@NP]

What a piece of kit! Excellent work!

 

[Fred@BTM]

^you're driving it, i'm not!

Yeah its hit a breathing wall by the looks of it, so the more the revs climb the more the torque will drop so the BHP stays the same, but still worth having the extra RPM available for pulling out of bends without shifting etc.

Sounds like a right rocket ship.


If it revved to 7K though how come it doesnt register to 7K on the graph, were you relying on roller sync rather than using a pickup on the injector or spark leads etc?

 

[ben lee]

awsome that on a standered bottom end?

I used a roller tacho I ran again on gate to check and it went to 7250, I'll have to strap it harder next time as it will 100% show more power if it grips properly

 

[Naith]

fantastic work that leeds.

 

[RSTuning]

No they break round the 300 mark!

Ah well, its how it drives that matters most anyway, although I guess its a good advert for your company so worth getting the full figures out of it

 

[chriscummins7]

That's seriously impressive Paul. Shows your skills very well!

 

[Brett]

Amazing results.

 

[Richyy182]

Bloody hell

 

[MR.172 Cup]

0-100? 3 seconds? Epic car! Would love to see this!

 

[Jimbo_M]

:evil: i bet that shifts! great result to show off your workmanship dude.

 

[StealthClio]

pics?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

come on baby lite my tires :approve:. pure awsomeness has provailed.

can't wait to see this beast fly down the road :clap:

 

[SBV116]

Impressive that dude!!!

 

[Ian_182]

Youv'e done a cracking job with that.

 

[jonesyFX]

Truly epic
