R26 Urgent 250/r26 turbo help!!

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by Goodwood automotive, Mar 25, 2017.

  1. Hi people... got a monumental issue... I've bought a megane "250" cold side/cartridge from rstuning (no hot side) I was told it will pop straight in to the hot side of my existing R26. But... it does not fit. Has anyone else had this problem before by any chance??

    The air gap between the caliper and wheel is a rough indication of the larger 250 exhaust wheel...

  3. If the turbine wheel really is bigger they've sent you an hybrid instead of 250 turbo....

  7. Btw the cleaning and balance check was done by me as what I purchased was a second hand turbo. I spoke to the chap who balanced it. He done no alterations but balance.

    that was my 250 turbo btw
     
  12. So... the turbocharger is not a hybrid unit. Instead, all this time I've been rocking a 170bhp Laguna turbocharger. Hence why the housing is not accepting my core. Just fooking great.[emoji35][emoji35]

    oh yeah td04-10t
     
  14. Wait, does that mean you've had a Laguna turbo in your R26 all this time!? How did that happen??
     
  15. Oh that's easy to answer... I remember the forecourt salesman going on about fitting a turbocharger to the car whilst in his possession. I even asked him after money exchanged hands that "the deal has been done. Can you tell me what if anything been done so so. Just so I know to correct it in the immediate future" oh well. The bright side is I'm going from a laguna powered turd to a 250 turbo mapped car. So it should feel massively more grunty!

    Flol, did it feel noticeably slower?
     
  18. Well the car to be fair I thought pulled well. You'd never really need to drop a gear to pull away. And I've no other megane that I could have compared it to. So till the new ones in and I'm chuffing down the motorway, I can't say. But will keep you posted. This weekends been hectic to say the least!
