Depends who you go to. Wouldn't be worth it on that car now. New bottom end

Unorganised man. :rasp:
Shame about the lump but at least it was sorted sharpish!

More than likely. Story of my life
Must say the bore wash has done a cracking job of cleaning the insides. It looks new!
Every cloud and that, will save time when making it into a table.

So minor update. The new engine I put in sadly was no better than the last, my own fault for not testing it before hand. So with less than 100 miles on it it came apart and I found this:
Ouch. That'll do it. So taken this opportunity to lower the compression slightly as it really didnt want to have any more than 15 degrees advance on ignition. I've done this by fitting a Megane 225 head gasket, and taken the opportunity to fit the ARP's from the old engine.
New rings, and pistons in the bores.
Got to try out my new toy too
Head is on but that's all so far. Sump and belts on Monday night hopefully. I need to wire in the Megane map sensor too.

Bummer, hope this one lasts a bit longer. What power were you getting with the last lump.
Don't know power wise, was pulling well, but hopefully with pistons in 1 piece it should go a lot better. As the rings(I thought at the time) were shot, I just used it as an opportunity to get the map pretty close. Got the AFR's pretty much 10.8-11.2 all the way through, and circa 14.7 on cruise. Just need to hire a rolling road to be able to get playing with IGN timing. Must say, in the passenger seat while I was mapping with my mate driving, it felt pretty brutal.
Well after the m6 sensor breaking and me ordering a new one I finally got it back up and running today, have done about 20 miles running it in, will take it to the garage tomorrow and drop the asda smart price oil and chuck in the new decent stuff and crack on with the mapping. I did a compression test before bedding the rings in, and it showed results of 180psi which is a brilliant result considering!
Well, covered 300 miles since the rebuild now. Feels awesome, went and did the mapping last night, had a mate driving it and he was loving how well it drove.
Have aired on the side of caution on the ignition side until I can have a set of det cans to use. I'm only seeing 15 degrees at WOT.
A quick snap shot of my evening..

Nice radio fitment
Yeh Silent scone said there is an important reason it's in upside down.
He fitted it upside down and never corrected it.

Nice one, Dan - seems to be coming along nicely.

lol ^ never really used the radio after fitting bodies
See you haven't bothered relocating the PAS a bit better yet either lol

I've got a pipe to fit, just lacking the time!
Did a quick speedo video on the private road as I left the garage earlier.
It still needs more ignition, as there is plenty to go yet I feel. Might even put in my WMI kit from my LCR.

What levels of boost are you ultimately looking to run, Dan?
About 1bar probably.
Yeah the main side bracket is the rs tuning one but your top bracket looks home made, but you defo need a top bracket as the side one isn't enough, I made my own at work then k-tec brought theirs out & it was pretty much the same lol.
Are you keeping the the standard rev limit at 1bar?
I expect so. It's only going to 7500 now. But it was difficult to road map it around that RPM.

Hey, back of the queue boyo!
Can you explain boost in lay-mans terms please Dan?
And if there is a TC/SC difference.
I never understood it when I had the VX220.
Boost is a measure of restriction really.
But in layman terms, its the amount of pressure the turbo/sc is supplying ontop of atmospheric pressure.
It's can get a little more complicated with bigger turbo's etc as a larger compressor housing will flow more air at a lower pressure etc.
Basically, look at it as in your NA car, and a well performing inlet will be at atmospheric pressure at full throttle. When a boosted car is on boost say 1 bar for ease, instead of atmospheric pressure filling the cylinder, which'll be 1bar, and at perfect volumectric efficiency will have 500cc of air and fuel. It'll now have 1000cc of air and fuel.

In the sense of boost pressure yes, it's not like a decibel scale if that's what you mean?
How long are you planning/predicting the engine to last Dan?
Take it is just standard pistons/rods?

I'm going to do a chip basically, keep upping the power/boost until it pops then take it back a tad. And leave it there. Yeh stock pistons and rods, which shouldn't be an issue with the smooth delivery the supercharger provides. It's spikes and excessive cylinder pressures that cause the bent rods.
