Clio Clio 182 Trophy back to oem(ish)

You are going to have to be careful there @Adeyspec
The meg ones will be dangerously close to 90% + fuel duty cycle.

What colour tops have they got ? Brown or Blue ?
 
Blue I think, ran them before at 280 using a rising rate fuel pressure reg rather than the clio ph2 static rate one that's built into the pump. Not sure what the Meg uses?
 
the meg uses a rising rate regulator. Limited though in function. You cant go over 350bhp with it. I guess your currently injectors will limit you well before that though
 
I'm running Meg 225 Blues on mine with 256bhp. Complete phase 1 Clio 172 fuel setup, fuel rail with in built FPR, fuel sender with fuel out and return outlets with a Walbro 255 pump in the sender. The phase 1 fuel setup apparently is more stable for Clios running boost.
 
I'll be on the hunt for one of those then. There was a ph1 at the local scrappy not too long ago so I'll have to check it out. On Friday I will be recieving the next major part that will help me along, another clio lol, will be stripped for parts and I'll keep and rebuild the engine. Currently weighing up a set of rods to possibly do what's called a rod job in the vag world, stock Pistons on forged rods, that's if I can get them cheap enough. If anyone's after any clio bits let me know and I'll sort you out (y)
 
I'm not interested in going past what the Pistons can handle so I'm not fitting forged Pistons, they handle circa 280 bhp all day long so no need, I don't do fitting parts for the sake of it because tuners say so

Grab the fuel lines off the phase 1 in the scrappy as they're discontinued at Renault now. New fuel sender is mid £200 new, I'm guessing if it's still there the parts might be too.

The pistons handle lots more. There are cars with 320BHP but the RODS bend at anything really over 300ibft. Thats considered safe.

The difference seems to be in the meg tuning world there are relativity few who actually push the boundaries of the cars. For instance Paul @ RS tuning bend the rods and DESTROYED a very low mileage engine testing the parts.

Its not the dumpvalve arguement here we are talking about , its people trying to sell you quality kit.

If your only going to be running 280bhp I think that will equate to around 300ibft then I wouldnt even bother doing the rods ( PEC etc )

I have run more power than that for 18k now. No issues.
 
Hmm I could be tempted to just do a low blow to start with then build an engine for more later on using the spare, would be done loads quicker then..... So many choices
 
I was also going to ask scoff to map it with a ramping rate on the boost so it increases with revs kinda like a supercharger that would in turn out less low down torque on the rods

That would be my choice if I had the funds.

Cheap low boost.
Big build rods / pistons / big turbo ( gt3071 !? ) decent FPR and pump ( bosch 044 ) decent clutch and some siemens deka 630ccs to fuel you upto 350ish bhp.
 
Probably standalone unless I speak to Rs tuning and they say otherwise. Will defo need standalone on a big boost setup for proper control, the adaptronic is a good price but I'm going to look into getting an Omex to do the same setup and retain the cruise and fly by wire as I might be able to do it a fair bit cheaper with that and install it myself

The spare car that just got dropped off, bar the lack of interior and missing external bits it's actually really clean.
