Little turbo for the megane

[Chip-mk1]

its a big IF

Agreed, pushing boundaries is always going to involve breaking a few things here and there, hope your pockets are feeling deep, lol.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

This is awesome! Look forward to seeing what happens

 

[RSTuning]

It should start coming together when farndon stop taking the p1ss with the crank i ordered and paid 50% for in FEBRUARY!!!

 

[richjwilliams]

by the power of grey skull!!!!!!

epic build, looking forward to seeing the progress and ultimately the results

 

[RSTuning]

Gearbox internals are just about ready to ship from SQS racing, had to change my 02M box for an 02Q as they don't think the 02m will be strong enough for 1000hp or so!

 

[BIGASH]

Haha awesome !

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

f**k a duck if this flys down the drag strip! The thing will need NASA spec brakes or parachutes

 

[LiamR172]

Sorry... 1000bhp in a fwd megane? Jesus christ

Accidentally brush the throttle and you'll look like this:

 

[DanEdser]

This looks mental! Cant wait to see the end result D:

1000bhp just doesn't cut it these days Paul!

1000bhp just doesn't cut it these days Paul!

That's probably just to get it running.

 

[Chip-mk1]

I take it you are wanting to chase Rich's FTO into the 8s?

Got any pics/details of the rest of the car?

 

[tom172cup]

Hope that's the plan for the car. will be good to watch something other than Hondas chase Rich down.

Certainly left all the vauxhall boys for dead at the moment considering how well they were doing a few years ago.

Although there are some very quick ones coming next year or two I suspect, now people are starting to buy parts for them stateside where they use the ecotec lumps seriously.

 

[tom172cup]

I'm entering next year when I crack on with the new build so that will be 3 Renaults there but I'm going to be nowhere near this thing lol. Surprised not many VWs either

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

1000bhp. In a Megane.

Needs saying again.

 

[Addicted]

Needs saying again.

So how much *usable* power, 300? 350? 400 at a push?

Confused how you're gonna put any of that down!

slicks and a diff

 

[Craig]

Fook me that will take off

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Anyway of implimenting a 4WD system?
1000hp just to the front wheels is manic lol

If he was going to 4wd it he wouldnt have fitted the VAG box I'd imagine, as there are better choices.

Plus if he does, then he will be competing against entirely different and much faster cars!

No, it's not been built for drag really, it's just to see what we can do with the F4R, of course we will be taking it to the 1/4 but been totally honest it's not something i'm personally interested in, that might change when i drive it though lol

Ah fair enough, im sure specky will enjoy playing in it even if you dont, he seems to like all that stuff where you drive in a straight line for a few seconds.

 

[l33th3tr33]

How have I only just read this!? I thought it would be someone just bolting a slightly bigger turbo in, How wrong was I! 'Scribed for epicness.

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

Thats why I was saying it cos even though its not fully built how does he know how it wil handle and put it down atm. FWD might not cope at all, so yeah 4WD will be awesome in it FP.

 

[Tutuur]

Glad to see another one pushing the f4's to the limits. Scoff's being the most powerfull atm with 750bhp

 

[RSTuning]

Gearbox and sequential shifter are due for delivery tomorrow/Friday

 

[Chip-mk1]

Cool stuff

 

[Daz.]

I really think you should be sharing this engine around I'm officially bored now I'm used to the remap!

 

[DanEdser]

Any updates on this?

 

[weeshawzy]

Just a little one!

 

[Cliotoby]

Impressive. 1000hp Been done before with 4 bangers, wouldnt want to own one though. Wonder how often the service intervals would be?

 

[RSTuning]

The gearbox is built with the SQS 4 speed drag and Quaife ATB

Need farndon to stop messing about and get me my crank!

 

[Fred@BTM]

want me to pay them a visit? only 20min away

 

[RSTuning]

It's getting to that stage now tbh, sick of the "hello darling" "ok my darling" "next week my darling" argghhhhhh!

Should have just used a stock crank haha.

The block machine work is in progress, they are just looking for suitable main and head studs that will fit lenght wise before they machine those.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Cancel and re-order with Arrow?

 

[RSTuning]

Paid for!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Surely the payment is refundable if they cant deliver on an acceptable timeframe though?
