    Just take your time and look often, once you have done a couple, then you will build up confidence

    JUST TAKE YOUR TIME

  15. Hello friends. I have a question.
    What engine compression did it leave? wanting to look for the 400hp later? 450hp?

    What compression ratio do we have as standard? 8.5.1?

    I have always read, that to gain cv to a turbo engine! it is better to lower the compression a little.
    and I don't know what compression to look for

    R26 and 225 is 9.0-1, 250 is 8.5-1, they use the same pistons though but the difference is in the head.

    @LoK28o Are you using standard disc's with those mk3 calipers, if so why :openmouth:
     
  18. and what compression ratio would you leave? or what relationship do people leave for racing engines?
     
  19. noooo is the whole kit of the 3. discs and calipers

    When i looked into this when forging mine and spoken to EFI, he said for me to leave the compression as it is, by lowering it apparently will make it worse to drive off boost.

    So where are the 5x108 holes ????
     
  22. I was thinking of giving him the compression of megane 3. since the difference is little.

    But the truth is that I don't know what compression to give
     
  23. they are the same holes but displaced

    Who are you telling what the compression is ????
    Just use the forged pistons, if i were you and if you want to lower the compression, then really the only way is going to be a one off made head gasket that's thicker.
    Or you can have pistons made, but that's not a cheap option

    Standard compression for the 225 and R26 is 9.0/1

    What do you mean, i am ordering parts and there coming next day or the day after, who have you upset :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:
     
  33. Well, I asked for the cylinder head gasket on Thursday. They tell me that it will arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday.
    all engine gaskets and seals, ordered at renault monday. I still don't have a delivery date. in Spain this is laughable

    I have bought from these, for my 225 (250 engine) and my 265, not had a problem with either set
     
  36. I don´t know, but the oil pump system, with that simple chain...don´t convence me much!!:tongueclosed:
     
  37. but here the cast is very bad. or so all the messengers tell me
     
  38. Thank goodness that later it has a skid or tensioner. that leaves something better. I don't like it too much either hahahaha
