James5GTT - 182 FF Low boost

[James5_GTT]

Thought I would do a quick project thread, I am not one for talking much so will try and let the pictures tell the story.

Picked up a good clean 182 BG 182 ff with all the cup pack's.
Car was standard when I picked it up other than an aftermarket air filter which I soon ditched.

These are pictures of Day 1 ownership

Some more pic's these are a few day's after purchase
Cup turini's from a phase 2 172 cup fitted.

 

[James5_GTT]

Only a few day's after the alloy's I wanted to get rid of the blowing exhaust, so I picked up a full Miltek system, some Apexi lowering spring's, KTR induction kit and I painted the inlet manifold.

 

[James5_GTT]

Now I am going Low boost turbo. Bit of a hybrid in part's that I am using spec wise

New Meg 225 turbo core,
Meg 225 exhaust manifold,
Custom downpipe,
SB Worx's Turbo oil feed
SB Worx's turbo oil drain,
SB Worx's intercooler kit (Black silicone pipes),
Brake fluid reservoir relocation kit (R5 GTT setup)
Modified 225 turbo compressor outlet (Re-angled 90degree faces passenger wing now),
Modified 182 Inlet manifold remove a bracket so compressor housing as clearance,
Modified 182 breather outlet,
Megane 225 injectors,
Modified f4r sump for oil drain rtn,
Pipercross cone air filter,
EFI parts Low boost turbo ecu kit,

I am currently still doing this and it's in mock up stage still pending parts at present from the alloy welder and from the postie.

 

[James5_GTT]

And a few pic's of my real hobby

The low boost spec you have is pretty much exactly the same as parts i have stock piled for a low boost conversion so i shall be following this thread

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks brilliant after the springs and turinis

 

[James5_GTT]

Quick pic of modifed 182 inlet this is still in mod stage pending turbo rtn before I mod it further if need be.

I didn't take any before pics, here's a phase 2 172 inlet (I know they are different) you can see the section I have removed off the 182 one

Picked up the turbo with modified outlet this eve and the sump with welded adaptor for drain

 

[James5_GTT]

Oh and a small antilag video from yesterday eve of my R5 GTT

 

[Stay Puft]

That's quality!

 

[16v-clio]

Quality.

Is the Meg manifold a straight bolt on!?

 

[James5_GTT]

Quality.

Yeah the meg exhaust manifold bolts straight on no issue's

 

[scotiamr2t]

@James5_GTT any pics of the downpipe fitted to see how close it is to the brake fluid reservoir?

 

[James5_GTT]

Not yet but it's close I have moved the reservoir using r5 gtt bottle and pipe's.

[scotiamr2t]

I have a 406 master cylinder to switch the side the brake pipes come out and fittings to relocate the reservoir was just curious to see the clearance. I shall await a picture of the downpipe fitted as i don't plan to start mine until the new year

 

[16v-clio]

Yeah the meg exhaust manifold bolts straight on no issue's

Ah cool, I should have figured when the Clio turbo manifolds are advertised for the meg too!
Is your downpipe custom from scratch or a modified megane one?

Watching with interest! Awesome 5 by the way!

 

[James5_GTT]

Modified miltek decat for meg jobbie, infact going to be working on the downpipe tomorrow. So far I have taken about 2" out of were it would attach to the rear if turbo.

3. Modify down pipe further,
4. wire in the EFI parts ecu,
5. Extend the coil pack wiring,
6. Make up heat shield for under coil pack,
7. refit the exhaust system

Have you thought about moving the battery to the boot to free up abut more room in the bay.

Looking good

[imprezaworks]

Looks awesome

Cheers Ill get a daytime pic next time

 

[scotiamr2t]

@James5_GTT what are you going to use for boost control? When do you plan on having it mapped

Interested to see the results

 

[GavC]

Epic stuff Excited for videos of her running!

Your middle inlet bolt needs nipping up.

Looks great mate any updates?

Yeah was just put together for fitment and pic, currently finalising the downpipe

 

[James5_GTT]

Forgot to add this is all up and running and I have currently covered 660 miles on the conversion and only minor issue was throttle body issue and heater resisitor decided to fail, other than that and all has been perfect

[Clio_fool]

Looks a really tidy install. How much extra bits did you have to add to the turbo kit?

 

[James5_GTT]

Extra to what?? I had to add it all to the car.
