Clio Tutuur's Clio R27 turbo

Hopefully the traffic won't be too bad, it will be busy as you arrive near the Dartford Bridge and believe there's roadworks on the M1 so it's a 50mph speed limit

I know, have been in bad traffic around London before. This time i'll be there around 2 pm, no idea how busy it is that time of day :)

That's the beauty, can get traffic anytime....

Looking very good mate. I am in Ashford (literally 15 mins from Eurotunnel, 25 mins from Dover) should u need somewhere to work on your car. Love this car soooo much.
 
Bit of a long due update but been kinda busy with the car last week! Also decided to make a flickr account to be able to post some pictures again after the photobucket debacle.....

I had some annoying teething issues which showed up on the last moment. Had to remove the fuel tank again and also the fan didn't seem to be working properly. After having those sorted i took it for a 200km round trip to and from work. During this she performed faultless so i was confident it should do the 1000mile round trip to FCS aswell.

A few pictures shot at the event:

Tbh i found FCS pretty dissapointing, been there a few times in the past but this time round the organisation was horrible! better be doing an other event next year!

On a positive note though, i got invited to do a photoshoot for the PFC magazine, sadly it won't be a cover feature as their policy is not too cover foreign cars.....

So what is the current, technical, setup of the car:
Megane 250 engine which covered 80kkm, incl megane 250 throttle body (+ boost hose adaptor made by Ste_R26)
Borg Warner EFR 6758 turbocharger on a T25 tubular manifold + all connections custom made by me
R26 gearbox with R26.R clutch and SMF
Fully handmade 3" turbo back with loudvalve
Megane 250 intank 550kpa fpr and megane 225 pump (temporarily), std injectors for now.
Airtec 95mm FMIC, modified because of bad fitting on Clio
Forge hardpipekit also modified because of bad fitting on Clio
Handmade 2,5" stainless inlet tube with Ramair filter
Oil catchcan
upfront new Megane 250 cup brakes and at the rear new Original brakes, fitted with DS2500 pads alround
Motul RBF600 brake fluid

In the ecu i've changed the fuel injection so it accounts for the rising rate fpr at the rail, knocked up base map for fuel injection itself to get me to and from FCS in a short notice.
Ignition map loaded with a meg 250 one, slightly altered to make up for the missing vvt.
Boost duty set to zero so i could drive it around without having too much risk of overboosting considering i haven't properly mapped it yet.

Hopefully i'll be able to put it on the dyno next saturday to properly dial in the part throttle maps, maybe, just maybe i'd have enough time to do some boost mapping aswell :D
 
Glad to hear the car made the round trip to FCS without any issues [emoji846] you have to be pleased with that.

Let me know how you get on with the 250 throttle body long term. You might have better luck, is the mk3 Clio is a different ECU from the 225?
 
Ecu's are pretty much the same apart from missing one logic for boost control.

I din't see why the 250 throttle body would prove any problem at any time tbh. Just because one person had problems this doesn't mean it won't work. Same with your fuel pump isn't it :)

Yes, obviously really pleased, sadly i'm having an e92 m3 on the dyno coming saturday so not sure how much time there will ne left for my own car....
