Some progress at the start of the year lads. Most things mocked up with the old engine for now. New engine is based on 172 block still but with a worked 197 cylinder head.
New turbo is GTX4202, 8x 2000cc injectors, I made 2 new manifolds and a solid boost run. Gearbox is still based on VW 02M but with SQS dog gears and quaife ATB. 3x Bosch motorsport fuel pumps, twin -6 feeds, single 50mm wastegate. New ECU to support traction control, full throttle shifting, gear based boost, etc.
Still have front arches and bumper to modify/paint/fit. A colour wrap to go on, engine to build, harness to make, etc.
Hope to get mapping later in the year with a view to racing propper in 2015 again. Work has been very busy, averaging 6.5 days a week at the moment, which is good in most respects but doesn't leave me much time for my own. Enthusiasm is plentifull, hours in the day are not !!
I found time to get some flywheels designed for the new clutch. I made one for RS Tuning's high power megane project also. Clutch is a 3 plate Sachs RCS rated to 980lb/ft.
Cheers, Chris
