theres a clue on the I/C front...........mr k-tec him self running a large cooler on a not to differant spec to yourself

ill let you progress now dude...good luck

The megane 225 standard intercooler is much larger than that same engine, same idea and the forge one is bigger again. But I would imagine your severely limited on space in a 182 without cutting things hence why its so small.

 

[Ryan k]

Anyone got a manual with torque settings in it iv gone and lost mine :s

 

[Ryan k]

Pistons fully in now tightened the lot and sump back on. Half the valve seals changed too calling it a day at that engine should be fully built again tomorrow.

 

[LegoHead]

I would be interested to see if you burn any oil. I had wossner pistons and the rings worn out on one cylinder.

 

[Ryan k]

My mate had same thing on his car he had to get new ones.

 

[p111ura]

looks good ryan!!
will listen out for you!! lol
let me know when its done and i will have to come over and have a look at it!

 

[bmh.01]

Still after torque values or you got them? Can dig them out if required.

Could do with them got most but have to convert from old daN.m.

 

[Ryan k]

anyone know the part number for the dephaser pully? dunno if thats spelt right.

 

[bass_direct]

I have 83.0mm now.

same here, 83.0mm pistons FTW! lol

nice project btw, quite a few turbo's coming along now

old? that's decanewton METERS, as in METRIC lol

 

[Ryan k]

Ye lol was told it was a old way of working i dunno iv never seen it before lol

 

[Ryan k]

Here is abit of a update for today re-built the engine well 90% done intercooler is now fitted on car. also iv changed all the valve seals still loads to go but coming along fast

Here are some pics:-
Oh and fitted a new grill with no induction hole.

 

[bmh.01]

Ye lol was told it was a old way of working i dunno iv never seen it before lol

Its a fruity french thing I imagine, just multiply by ten and your laughing. and ygpm.

 

[Ryan k]

Engine is fully built now waiting for the clutch to come then will fit the engine back in the car. fingers crossed it will be done by Thursday.

 

[Ali]

Wow! Alot of money...Hope its worth it.

 

[K-Tec Racing]

all I'm saying mate is take advise from time to time, were only trying to help you keep the build as smooth as poss. if k-tec supply you the parts all good, this doesn't mean there the most efficient

lot of people have had turbo'd cars on here, myself included, you will get issues, to witch were trying to advise you on

I'm not having a go mate, please take it as constructive criticism....just keep an eye on charge temps......TBH i would be worried about the size of the cooler....asp if your planning on running circa 300hp

This intercooler has been temp tested on the dyno, and road, using a very accurate thermo couple as well as some recent data logging when used with an Omex ecu set up. Maybe some people should not be so quick to judge until they have all the information, as we do.

A larger intercooler will not hurt in the slightest but the intercooler if fine for the conversion we sell and for the limited room available, especially as the kit will only need to run around 14psi.

We do not just pick an intercooler off someones shelf, look at it, and say that will do. Unlike many companies we actually take the time to test the components to make sure they work, this is why we also usually have between 3 and 5 development cars of our own to which new parts are fitted and tested in order to make sure they do what we say they will do.

At the moment we have our Twingo GT being used to develop several parts such as a remap, exhaust and induction kits, our R26 is currently testing our new big brake kit as well as having the first turbo back exhaust system being developed next week, our 197 is just about to gain a load more power, our new 172 demo car testing our throttle body kit and uprated engine mounts and another 172 testing a super quiet stealth exhaust, a new bolt in roll cage and a new turbo kit. So I think it is fair to say we do a little more testing than most

Thats good and reassuring to hear

 

[makavelli]

The proof is in the pudding at least if ryans plan runs on time it will be mapped in a week or so, so the results can speak for them self!

will be interesting to see how the package kit fairs against some of the other turbos who have had a few different components put in

 

[bmh.01]

Considering how much bigger the 225 intercooler is which runs less boost as standard i'd say its far from the perfect ideal but probably the best you can do with the very limited space you've got to play with without cutting stuff up.

Standard on bottom, forge on top.
