Hi guys, Are there any major mechanical differences between above models? I mean engine parts like injectors, spark plugs, turbo, intercooler etc. Has it got also the same clutch and gearbox fitted? I am just curious after I have found that one http://www.br-performance.lu/en-lu/...megane/5366-megane-3-2012/5532-estate-gt-220/ Is it cheaper to get GT 220 and tune it?
There's a £1,700 price difference between the 220 and the Renaultsport. I don't think it is really worth the hasstle
Mind +80bhp is a hell of a claim!!!! Don't think the GT will have Brembos or the full RS suspension set up, trick hubs etc!
I am aware of Brembos. However I am interested about parts mentioned above such as injectors, spark plugs, turbo, intercooler etc.
It's 100% F4R with slightly different CR to the RS. The injectors will most likely be the same but the turbo will be smaller. Interior wise it gets split trim/leather with Renault Sport analogue clockset and GT/RS dash trim. Exterior gets a body kit, nice 17" wheels, better brakes (over standard) and stiffer/lower suspension (I don't believe it's got the swivel hubs). I heard it was only available in Estate/Sport Tourer but I don't know how true that is. The Focus ST Tourer is brilliant so this will have some big shoes to fill.
Engine (turbo, injectors, spark plugs etc.) are same. Gearbox: PK4 018 in Meg3rS (with diff, 019 without) and PK4 017 (in GT). GT have shorter gears, same clutch and flywheel, you can't disconect ESP, suspension is little better than standard Megane and breakes are sama as standard Megane Engine have only different map so You can easy make 300BHP after reprogramation
Judging by the figures on the web site I'd say the turbo may be the same, both the GT and RS both state 300bhp after the map
So basically identical engines but the GT has lower gearing and smaller brakes etc? Theoretically faster in a straight line then, post remap.
Well I know it becomes pointless at some stage to spend so much money on it over just buying an RS but nothing stopping you fitting a quaife and coilovers if your really after a sporty estate. Id like to see a GT220 estate with RS bumpers and wheels.
The engine is exactly the same as the 250/265RS. Everything. The guys at BR-Performance have mapped 220GTs already and perform exactly the same as the 250/265RS.
Yeah that does look well I reckon that'd sell well going by the amount of estate STs I see about, obviously a market for it.
I'd have bought it - The only reason I went with my GT was because it had rear doors (and I'm so anti-Ford/GM). I tried like bugger to get the wife to sign off on a 250 but she said no.
Hi guys, I know it's old topic, but I'm curious... What do you think, can the original ecu map from R.S. 250/265/275 be used on GT220 ? Let's say I don't need whole 303PS or so, I would be happy with some reasonable upgrade... 50+ PS on top of 220PS I already have. BTW: Does anyone here owns remapped GT220 ? Thanks!
You cant use the map directly, you can maybe transver the indivudual map parameters and thats only if they are the same size. Dont even try to load a map made for the rs as you will most likelly brick your ecu. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
I'm not trying anything, I'm just gathering informations, but thanks for warning. From what I learned so far, the engine in GT220 is completely the same as in R.S., just de-tuned, only gear ratios are different... I guess maps cannot be used 1:1, but with some modification it's could be possible... That way I would still get some reserve space, not topping the engine output to max. 303 PS...
Hi, May I ask where you guys get the information about what engine/turbo/gearbox on GT220 and full fat RS? Always a lot of discussion, but never saw it properly documented in order to prove/disprove any claims.
Do you know if pk4 018 with LSD will bolt straight in to a gt220? Or will need different driveshafts and hubs?
