Had last week off work so cracked on fitting the new g25 660 turbo setup.
To recap mocked up on the spare engine.
Started by stripping the 20t hybrid, manifold and downpipe off, oil feed and return removed. Plenty of room with scuttle removed. Turbo first, then manifold, then downpipe out via the top.
Fitting the new setup was reverse of the above. Oil feed in, downpipe in then manifold, external wastegate on then turbo.
External wastegate in situ. Fiddly to fit even though on vbands.
Starter motor heatshield was tight and required a bit of clearance adding with deadblow hammer to clear number 1 exhaust runner. From what ive seen a few people dont refit it, but we do stuff right here.
Oil return fitted. Its tight but adequate clearance off downpipe. Might wrap the last bit of the downpipe for added heatproofing
With that done onto boost hose and coolant lines. Trimmed a 90deg silicone hose and the coolant lines are plug and play.
Next job airfilter/induction. 70mm 45deg silicone hose trimmed and 45deg alloy pipe cut to fit. New ramair filter to suit larger bore
With that done i offered the scuttle panel up. Plenty of room.
Mac valve fitted in preperation for Ecumaster Black. Opted to bolt to the scuttle as no optimal place on engine, and the an line is not very flexible but necessary for heat protection.
Done.
Primed up oil system with coils and injectors unplugged, with turbo oil feed into a bottle to check flow. All good, fitted to turbo and primed turbo with more cranking. Reconnected injectors and coils and hit the switch.
Fired straight up, check for leaks and none. Sounds totally different to the stock manifold/hybrid.
Around 1.5days of work steady away, so not too bad to do.
WIth that done, taxed and out for a test run.
Test drive went well, heat wrap on downpipe smoked like fcuk for a bit but sorted itself out fast. As im on the old map for the hybrid, i cant give it much stick but it spools well and is responsive, seen 7psi around 3500rpm iirc.
In the words of the mrs, it sounds unbelievable. Worth doing for the sound alone.
Ive done 50 or so miles and no issues. Onto ph2 which is ecumaster black install and modified inlet. Aiming for mapping in 6-8 weeks.
Thanks for reading!!

Made a start on the Ecumaster black wiring. 3 years ago i bought a RRR clio 197 pnp adaptor and a few bits.
197 clio wiring is pretty close to meg2rs but different at the same time. I looked at loom options and considered fitting the 197 engine loom, but would need rewiring at the upc plugs to suit megane upc and boost solenoid wiring. Meg 2 loom needed vvt and cam sensor wiring adding, and loom thinning out a bit to remove wiring not needed. As i have a few meg looms here seemed like modding one was the obvious solution.
After digging out all the parts and examining the pnp adaptor to see it was potted on the connection side, meant simply adding or removing wires would not be possible. Also i had no map to see how the inputs and outputs had been setup, or idea on how the pnp was wired so had to validate all connections. A few hours of tracing what goes where was necessary to avoid any future aggro. Probably should have just built a new loom from fresh as would have took the same amount of time but nevermind..
Simple stuff just time consuming.
I depinned and swapped a few wires about in the oem ecu connectors, moving the megane n75/boost controller wiring to a spare aux that was wired in the adaptor. Oem map sensor wiring is not used so the 3x wires have been repurposed/ repinned for cam sensor. The upstream lambda wiring has been repurposed/pinned to suit the vvt solenoid as again not used as running lsu 4.9 wideband lambda straight to ecu.
Also binned oem coil wiring as i have a subloom for Audi r8 coils wired to individual coil outputs. This is much better than the oem coils that are wired in series, which divides the total voltage across them, increases total resistance, and maintains the same current through each component hence giving a shitter spark / small spark plug gaps required. Oem meg coils are also pretty crap when wired up individually where r8 are good for a lot of boost.
Enough tech anyway - a few pics
All oem tape removed to check loom condition, and retaped in tesa cloth tape.
Done a load of connections including 4 way splice for coil power. Dual wall glued heatshrink makes a solid connection.
Its pretty much finished. Throttle body needs wiring, was unsure on length required so will do it in situ. Neutral switch wiring and reverse light switch to sort, i need to repurpose the connector for reverse switch off the current loom.
Will make a start on fitting in the next few days. Ill need front end off to fit modified inlet and larger throttle, 870cc bosch motorsport injectors, bosch wideband knock sensor etc.

Made a start on fitting the loom today. Bumper etc off.
I was avoiding taking the front off fully, but for how long it takes it was a no brainer. Access is 10x better.
Got the inlet off etc. When removing the fuel pipe from the rail it was still pressured uo from running yesterday, the fuel system is good on this. I then stripped out the loom and a few sensors, and started fitting the new parts. Wideband bosch knock sensor, lsu 4.9 wideband lambda and newly modified wiring back in the hole.
Offered up the R8 coils and they wont fit with the 250 breather plate, so will need to change that for a pms one, same as i run on my clio trophy.
Half decent start for 4 hours work.
