Little turbo for the megane

[jamier27]

Sorry for being stupid but which meapgane is this getting shoe horned in?

 

[bozothenutter]

now this is a turbo...

looks like it is compound too.....


Wärtsilä-Sulzer RTA96-C

 

[Christopher]

Mental. Proper windowlicker-grade stuff. Love it.

staff meeting at 9am

location: cylinder head

 

[Craig.]

HUGE!!! Makes the engine look tiny.

 

[Kris86]

not bothering having any engine with your turbo paul? Mental bar steward..

Clio F4R block, steel crank, steel rods, forged pistons and lots of praying that it does not push the crank out of the bottom!

I don't think it will push the crank out the bottom when arp bolts are used. Not te first 4 banger to have that silly amount of power.

 

[RSTuning]

At the end of the day ARP's are still bolted to a cast block, anything could happen.

We need to get some frames made to mount the seat and pedals next and make a start on the engine build when the rest of the stuff comes.

Going to use it for drag and see what it's like. If its no good I will put a smaller turbo on and use it on track!

 

[Ash87]

That will be wild if it all comes together

 

[Dan@SJM]

Thought about machining up a crank girdle?

 

[tom172cup]

outlaw fwd next year?

...Temptation...

Heaven 17?

 

[RSTuning]

Yes, was going to look at that first and if it works fit a dry sump kit so I can rev it to 10500 or so

 

[RSTuning]

Depends how the build comes along really, I need a fair bit of money to put into it so not sure exactly how long before it's ready to race as such.

The piston speed will be pretty unpleasant at those rpm, but its one way to allow you to get timing into an engine even with a lot of boost, lol.

I assume you will be on an Arrow crank or similar at that point?

 

[BoatNonce]

Chip, I hope you're taking notes for the Nova.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Chip, I hope you're taking notes for the Nova.

Totally different engine mate, actually far easier for me to get that power than Paul as I have so much better a starting point engine wise, but I have no interest at all in drag racing and so wouldnt want an engine with that power even if I did have the money to waste which I dont.

So I will watch the thread with interest, but I cant see me ever wanting to build something similar, I got upto around 600bhp with 2 litre engines and then decided I had no use for going any further, and TBH these days I dont even have a use for that much.

 

[BoatNonce]

Rubbish, you know you want to do wheelies

 

[RSTuning]

Crank and rods are already been made so the rod ratio is much better than stock

 

[RSTuning]

Rods arrived today. Made by Farndon strong enough for 250hp per cylinder minimum!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Have you kept with standard stroke Paul?

How much longer than standard are the rods?

 

[RSTuning]

Running 4mm longer on the rod and an 89 stroke

 

[Chip-mk1]

Fair old difference then going from 1.55 to 1.66

Still not amazing for mega high rpm, but obviously unless you start making the block taller you are just so constrained by the space renault have given you, so I think thats good considering.

What size bore are you going for?

I assume you wont want to be doing 84mm just cause of losing too much material out of the block so will stick at 83mm?

Or are you going to liner it so you can get away with a little more capacity?

 

[RSTuning]

83mm in this test block then i might look at doing darton sleeves if the crank stays put!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Makes sense

 

[Chi]

Completely over my head but sounds amazing.. Glued to this

 

[Tutuur]

Any updates on this monsterous build yet?

 

[RSTuning]

Yeah, bored to death drilling hundreds of spot welds out haha.
Just in the middle of making the frame so we can mount the seat and pedal box.

 

[Whiteley]

Words cannot describe the size of the downpipe in person!

 

[RSTuning]

Expecting all the engine bits back for the end of this month, had a block machined for bigger studs, mains and head.

The seat is mounted and the rest of the welds drilled!

Head:

Pistons

Just ordered an 02Q box to get the SQS internals with sequential shifter too

 

[Chip-mk1]

Nice to see it still coming along

Huge cutouts on those pistons hints at the cam wildness.

 

[BIGASH]

I wondered why it had relocated onto the ramp today when I was in

 

[BoatNonce]

I just had a little accident.

That was just to put the heap of rust gordini turbo in the corner out of the way haha

 

[Joe#]

Good progress Paul.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Lol.

Certainly looks built for rpm

Should do some truely epic numbers if Paul can get it to stay in one piece.

its a big IF
