I’m looking for advice really. Have a 57 plate R26. Bought last year with a few choice mods already done to the engine (forge intercooler, ktec induction kit, decat into miltek exhaust and an EFI parts remap) I’ve just gone through the suspension and polybushed the lot along with new cup shocks and grams springs. And it’s going into BTT motorsport for some brembo HC disks and DS2500 pads. Once all that is done I’m looking for more power, nothing silly. Just mid 300’s as anything more is a bit daft in what is primarily a road car. I’m not great on the spanner’s so any work will more than likely be done by BTT in Wigan who I rate highly. I’m currently running 280 bhp with similar torque so taking the standard lump any further is a no no. I could go down the forged route but looking at prices from engine dynamics with hybrid turbos etc this isn’t going to be cheap…. Could I realistically get mid 300’s from a megane 250 engine with the standard 250 turbo? This has got to be the Cheapest option or am I missing something? Also I believe retaining the standard R26 box is the best option? Synchro is already a bit crunchy on 5th, does anyone know of anybody in the north west that could do a box rebuild? Sorry that’s a lot of questions! Cheers in advance
