Recirculation Valve upgrade?

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by BlueNGT, Aug 23, 2021.

  1. Good morning All,

    My 225 F1 build is taking shape, all parts fitted....apart from R26 rear beam, got to figure out the rear brake set up for that.

    I know have the following fitted:

    Ktec Inatke
    Ktec 3'' exhaust
    Forge Intercooler
    New gearbox
    Quaife LSD
    TTV single mass flywheels
    R26.R clutch
    Powerflex all round
    R26 from ARB
    New engine and Gearbox mounts with powerflex inserts
    HEL braided lines all round
    Low Temp Thermostat
    Swivel bearings
    All suspension links/tie rods, anti rotation
    New colipacks plus plugs etc

    I plan to get the car mapped at EFI - do I need any of the following if I am not changing the Turbo (so will be limited by the Turbo)?

    Cooksport Billet fuel rail
    630 injectors
    Forge Recirc valve

    If yes what are the advantages of adding these?

    Thanks
     
  2. Is it decatted or sport catted? If not you won’t be getting the most out of it.

    Fuel rail isn’t essential but if it’s a centre feed rail it will distribute fuel more evenly and have less chance of no.1 running lean.

    Injectors again not essential but will give you a bit more head room on the duty cycle.

    Recirc valve I would say definitely needs doing as the stock one is unlikely to hold the increased boost.
     
  3. This my first Megane so I'm new/learning the go to parts/mods.

    It isn't Sport or De-catted - didn't want Decat because I don't want the emission hassle come MOT time. Did find a Sport Cat but couldn't get one in time for the works that were being done. At the moment only putting a some road miles on before it goes back for a check over.

    Any Sport Cat recommendations?

    Would Forge be the Recirc valve to get or are there others?

    Fuel rail Ive only seen Cooksport and danST engineering - any others you would recommend?
     
  4. Blanking plate instead of recirc will do the job too.
     
  5. Mk3 fuel rail can be used with a simple mod.

    Forge or properfkt for the recirc valve.
