are you going to use the megane uch or 'trick' the clio uch somehow?
With them being such heavy cars, I can never understand why anyone tunes them N/A, it just doesnt get you anywhere, turbo is the right way to go
800kg mk1 clio with N/A 230bhp I can see the appeal, but in a mk3 its just silly.
Subbed to this! Going to be cracking and the engine looks so much better after the paint! lol
Thought about just new or spraying the bolts? going onto a colourful engine it will be a put down in looks haha

Ill be using just the megane ecu chum, it'll be mated to the rest of the clio stuff
Lol the looks are a secondary issue after it running, and running fast. It'll not bother me that much, that money could be spend on go faster goodies
this is the bit Im struggling to getting my head around, the clio uch is coded to the clio ecu (for immobiliser purposes etc) if you plug in the megane ecu surley it wont work?
do you know or some way to decode the uch or ecu or something like that?
one thing I was thinking might be possible would be to use the megane uch and ecu? then on clip reconfigure the ucu to match the clio settings (stuff like cruse control etc) and then take it to whoever to map the ecu.
I think you flash the megane ECU with stuff of the clio ECU or something so everything works? Just what ive heard but im not technically minded ha.
Always wondered where this thread was going when the picture was posted of the megane, should be an epic project!
Meg'd r27
Yeah clio details taken off and loaded onto megane ecu, I was going to do it myself on CLIP but apparently its a little more involved than that so it'll be sent away
Yeah it can't be done on clip mate , who can do it just out of interest rs tuning ?
Meg'd r27
As far as I know rs tuning, sc autos, k-tec racing are the usuals

Well i've been busy what seems to be every weekend and was doing my nuts in because I know the electrics and ecu coding are going to be one of the toughest and possible time consuming parts so one evening I threw the head up and knocked it out in a couple of hours.
Just a couple of teaser pics, need to weld in a "sports cat" with a link section, get the electrics sorted and then I can map it Hopefully no hiccups
Would have had this done and out in probably 2-3 hours but of my retarded torx keys snapped on me.... twice
Got the loom and ecu out pretty sharpish, all labeled up incase I forget
Both ends of this b*stard
So out came the torch
Which resulted in
Garage has been tidier tho

Just waiting on a couple of parts to arrive and then I'll be able to see what small pipework, tubing or sensors i'm missing and then I can get it started
The exhaust system, which is going to be decatted from turbo back initially, we'll see how loud it is and how it fairs at MOT so I might have to weld a sports cat in

Just got to keep your eye on eBay, marketplace on here, 197.net, meganesport.net, gumtree, pistonheads etc. a complete kit doesn't come up that often. Another option is to buy a written off 225 for a donner.
here's one on eBay to watch

Well this has moved on a bit and havn't updated
After starting to throw the head up things started to arrive for me first up was the boost pipe and the all important ecu
While I was waiting for the ecu I was on the hunt for leather and alcantra so that I could retrim the recaros, edge automotive would have been a great option but they dont post and its quite the trek from over here. Out of the blue a set from capital seating came up really cheaply so snapped those up quickly
Once the intercooler stuff arrived I got stuck in to geting it all fitted, only have blue silicone bends at the moment but i'll change those for red or black at some stage, I just wanted it fitted
After a hunt for a few sensors, one way valves and pipes from renault I got everything crammed back in to the engine bay. Relocated a scenic coolant tank and the odyssey battery went into the glove box. Just needs a little bit more tidying up of the wiring and that but it works anyway
Started up first time which was such a relief lol and now its just being run in for a few hundred miles before I map it just to make sure all is good. Have speedlines to go on at some stage and just need to decide on a colour for them. This is how it is currently and a crap vid of the turbo chatter which will get really addictive. The proper time lapse video can be started on now so that will come soon

Was over at rs tuning in Leeds over the weekend for Paul to tweak my mapping. Talk about ups and downs that journey, the 2am boat broke its engine on the way over and came back to dublin, so onto the 8.20 ferry which left at 9.20 and I flew from holyhead to leeds for a quick turnaround with paul and back to get the 8pm boat home… it was the boat that broke down that morning on me and decided to leave early which was sound of Stena!! They sorted me out on the next boat home at 2am for free, gave me some vouchers and put me in a suite so at least it wasn't an awful return.
On to the car, buy the time I got to leeds the car had killed its thermostat and one of the injectors was playing up. Made the decision to stay stage 1 and ill go back with some 630cc injectors and a hybrid turbo for stage 2 at some stage over the next few months and that'll push nicely into the 300s. Bhp was somewhere close to 270 torque somewhere in the 280s i think but holds boost and torque for what feels like forever so a much nicer drive, and also nice to know it was built right by myself and running ok from a respected pro.
Hadn't stopped driving apart from fuel and mapping, and even that was le mans style change and off I went again (forgot to lift my printout ). Had the go pro with me for some footage for the build time lapse and it caught this a few times on the way home Good times

I'd say so yeah, running the clio box at the minute which is grand and great through the gears.
I'll rebuild the megane one with a diff if/when the clio one goes
Edit: Is that video not showing up there anymore?

That montage was great really well done

love the car mate! You may of said and probably missed, but what exhaust is on it?
