Fitting a different turbo

Cheers JJ

Somethings are a bit easier to get too, its not all cramped together, some bits are but other bits aren't.

I think i might take it out sometime soon to try and get some miles on it, i can then do an oil change ready for the dive to EFI

 

Mine is a cup car so has a diff fitted in it anyway, i did fit a Quaife diff to my 225 and that made a huge difference, especially as it was running 320hp and 360ftlbs of torque

Can't wait to find out myself

 

i have not heard of any issues with the diff's in the Megane, they are basically a Quaiff anyway, i have had a replacement gearbox in mine last year, 3rd gear went and 4th was trying to follow it, so i bought a replacement box and had that fitted so i could carry on with trackdays, i then bought all new quality bearings and seals, along with a 3/4 gear cluster, then had a really close look and i needed a 3rd gear gear wheel, the parts are very reasonably priced from Renault surprisingly.

That is one thing i suppose i can do, that is rebuild that gearbox just in case this one lets go, i also have another gearbox but it's from a non cup car so there is always that to use as well as long as i swap the diffs.

There may also be another project for this car in the winter gearbox wise

 

That would be great Andrew, i would have a few made as i think there could be a few that would buy one.

We need to meet up after all this shite is over

 

So you will be back

 

No, straight onto fully Synthetic, i didn't get it rebored its only rings and bearings.
Will do an oil and filter change after a couple of hundred miles though.

 

Who was that then, i know there have been a couple of 250's etc around here, but i only see them when i'm in my Espace

 

Thanks manugtt
That means a lot

Think i might do a 250 gearbox rebuild thread, something to do in these stay at home times

 

That's a shame, be nice to see a few more Renault sports around here, i assume he's not on this forum then

 

well that's a surprise

 

Are you okay doing the belt change ???
If you need any help let me know and i will try and talk you through it.

 

Don't worry its the other end of the engine

 

I have tried to get someone to make this for me, but didn't have any success, so thats why i spent hours upon hours filing the thing out.

There is such a fine layer of sealer on the manifold, i did fit it and then remove it to see how it sealed, it was then cleaned off and another film applied, as the turbo wasn't fitted at this point i could see any excess and clean it off, the turbo was fitted to the adaptor with a proper bought gasket.

as it was so close to the heat shield i did manage to fit a blanket over the turbo exhaust end, i also hear wrapped the down pipe to keep as much heat away from everything.

It's all finished and working, just waiting now for EFI to open back up so i can get it mapped.

 

That's fine Andrew, not planning to take the engine out again in the near future, so there's no rush

If there doing an important job making ventilators i can wait, mine is not that important.

 

That's what i want, any idea on price and availability

 

Thanks
Looks nearly as good as mine

 

Not heard of anyone doing that, by max boring the engine takes it to 2061cc if that helps

 

As soon as i get a date i will put it up on here
