Big Uno's R26 Project / Engine Build

if the adapter and regulator.

 

This is the regulator i used https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-0-5-BA...686468?hash=item234a512204:g:xtQAAOSwd0BV5gFg
As for the adaptor i'm not sure
Maybe this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Saxon-M-...917850?hash=item3d8cf5b49a:g:yVYAAOSwCRRc~3AX

 

perfect, thank you very much. I didn't know what it's called to look for it.

that's an6 and i'm mounting everything an10 now i will look for a bigger one. Thanks a lot

 

No problem, hope you find the right part

 

I haven't read the whole thread in huge detail, but this is a similar build as to what I want to do, all be it mine will be held together with blue tac and cable ties

 

If it works whats the problem

 

How long till yours is up and running, must be nearly there now

 

I already have a tracking number.

August 28 I have to have everything that is missing.

you want to finish it

 

Send it over and i will finish it for you, i have one outside my workshop waiting to be stripped
A liquid yellow R26 think its got a ring land failure

 

as you continue like this. you set up a workshop hahahahaha

 

I have had my workshop for over 5 years now, its really for my job, but there's space for my Megane

 

What are the symptoms for this, or is it a catastrophic failure and not a slow deterioration?

 

It lost power and wasn't running very well, starts and drives, no smoke from the exhaust, the owner bore scoped it and there is damage to number 1 piston, think he caught it in time, but needs stripping, think its going to get forged

 

I see.

Mine has been burning oil on tick over for a while, but no loss of power! It made 300bhp+ lol.

I'm thinking valve seals tbh

 

get a bore scope in the plug holes just to make sure, it might not have got that far yet to cause a power loss

 

I've got the engine ready to pull out now, just waiting on a hoist that should be here today.

 

Boom, pretty easy actually!

 

Now the fun begins

 

This is seriously impressive and unbelievably time consuming!

I've started doing mine this afternoon, genuinely think this is a ten hour job to get it to this standard!

 

you will need some spare time to sort that lot out, not really sure it makes any difference on forced induction though

 

Does the car need to be tuned after having the bore increased to 83mm pistons? or will it adjust the A/F ratios. Thanks Ian.

 

if no any other mods , no.
83mm will increase the CR (compression ratio) a bit but that won`t effect the AFR to such extend.

 

As Autronix says, if no mods or mapping has taken place then it will be a no.

 

When my car was forged, among other thing, a swirl pot with a pump within in it made aloud noise, it failed after a few hundred miles, was replaced from the same well known engine builder. It caused all sorts of problems. Short story, both pumps were fake ones!. I replaced it with a Syteck one, and its the nearest thing to silence, problem solved.
