F4rt ph1

[Owen:s]

Well iv never been bothered about doing a thread but thought I would knock up a quick 1, started buying parts for the car last sept and began work on the car this January,
Parts I picked up where
Megane 225 complete engine
225 milltec down pipe,225 milltec decat, helix paddle sprung clutch , usual service parts, megane 225 lift pump/sender unit, k tec uprated mounts , vacume fpr.
So then I set about getting on with the work,,,

A little paint

A bit more paint

Then got round too making a custom throttle body mount and lined the jc5 box up to drill and tap the neccery holes

Then got it all bolted together and dropped in place

 

[Gt rob]

should fit it in that KA instead! any more pics? is it easy enough to do? enough room in engine bay for it?

 

[Owen:s]

Then set about making up a custom power steering pump and alternator mount which done the job but was giving a little vibration thru the car so has now been changed too a own set up from a traffic van, I measured up for size too get the intercooler made up and started routing the pipe work

 

[Owen:s]

The build wasn't without it's llittle problems along the way, iv had the car mapped at Rs tuning by Paul, and made 228 at 0.6 bar. Had a few teething problems which iv now sorted out and it's booked back in in a few weeks to crank it up

 

[Gt rob]

need any specialist skills to do it? what engine management have you got?

 

[Owen:s]

Not sure about skills I'm in the trade so it's day too day stuff really, I'm using the STD ph1 loom and ecu

 

[Stu.]

This is awesome! i want to do this

 

[Gt rob]

thought youd be a n engineer or summat! how hard was getting the gearbox to join/line up?

sorry for the questons, but thought of doing this myself in the future

 

[Owen:s]

Quite easy tbh u obv need too use the Clio fly wheel and sump then just a case of trying your box on marking the holes up and drill them out,

 

[Gt rob]

would the meg inlet manifold fit straight onto an na f4r?

 

[Owen:s]

No mate I ain't sure about the stud pattern but the injectors are mounted in the top of the inlets the f4rt head has diff inlet port shapes too the f4r for this , so they would just spay up against the head poss get machined tho?

 

[Owen:s]

THe car will be up for sale middle of next month after getting mapped. , I'm moving house and have a new project on the go .. .

 

[Chris205]

I miss GCL , how much is it going up for mate?

 

[Owen:s]

5,2k I know people always say I wish I could keep the car when there selling but i really do thre has been quite a bit of time and effort put In to it, but needs must

 

[Owen:s]

Well for this week I'm going too blast the wheels and paint or powder coat them not quite decided on color yet think might put them back too a silver and get a few new tyres on the rear while I'm on
