Hi there,
I own a LY R26 with all the usual mods possible with standard internals, mapped to 279 bhp courtesy of EFI.
I would like to start pulling parts together for a replacement engine aiming for somewhere between 350 and 450 bhp. Really ahppy with the car as it is but I would love another ewngine project and I am sure I'll get bored/used to 280 at some point.
I am still relatively new to the Renault world having previously tuned old VWs but I believe the F4RT with forged internals, bigger injectors (maybe?) and an appropriately sized turbo should cope with this power ok. My main question is whether to start with a Mk2 or Mk3 engine. I believe the main differences are something to do with fuel pressure from previous searches but have found complete information hard to come by, I also really value the knowledge found in forums like this. Would the fuel pressure of the mk2 engine become a restricting factor in the long term?
Any help with this would be appreciated. I did try searching but did not find much so I apologise if this has been covered already.
Thanks and nice to meet you all.
