Forum Megane RS

Hi there,

Apologies I don't speak French so I will be using Google Translate for my posts. I am sure it will be painful for both of us ;)

I am in the process of fitting the engine from a mrs3 into my mrs2 and I am hoping the experience on this forum can help me to answer some questions I have.

I am from Scotland, in the Glasgow area and have had my R26 for just over 3 years now. Brilliant car on road and on track.


Salut,

Excuses Je ne parle pas français, donc je vais utiliser Google Translate pour mes messages. Je suis sûr que ce sera douloureux pour nous deux;)

Je suis dans le processus de montage du moteur à partir d'un mrs3 dans mon MRS2 et je suis en espérant que l'expérience sur ce forum peut me aider à répondre à quelques questions que j'ai.

Je suis d'Ecosse, dans la région de Glasgow et ai eu ma R26 pour un peu plus de 3 ans maintenant. voiture Brilliant sur route et sur piste.

Welcome

Hi ewan,
Some of us speak Shakespear's language, I guess (I do even if I'm not completely fluent)
Hope Google translate will be helpfull and won't do too much errors.
Just one question : why are you trying to fit a M3RS engine in a M2Rs ? Isn't it easier to upgrade your engine ? New turbo plus chip software upgrade for example ?

And welcome on board, dude !

It's a good question, why go for the mrs3 engine?

I was running the mrs3 turbo with 630cc injectors (along with pro alloy FMIC, scorpion sports cat and 3" system) at around 300 bhp/300 lb ft on my mrs2 engine. The power was fantastic and I had finally managed to get a decent top end to the power curve.

Sadly at a track day in Knockhill the engine expired. The piston on cylinder 1 had failed at the ring land in a spectacular way!

So, I had to find a replacement engine and the available mrs2 units were all high mileage and not all that tempting. Instead there are many mrs3 engines around that are low mileage. As the mrs3 engine is more developed than the mrs2 it seemed a good option to try and fit it to my car.

Now that I am half way through the build, it might have been better to just get a rebuilt mrs2 engine which would have been easier!


Il est une bonne question, pourquoi aller pour le moteur de mrs3?

Je courais le turbo mrs3 avec injecteurs 630cc (avec pro alliage FMIC, scorpion chat de sport et 3 "système) à environ 300 ch / 300 lb-pi sur mon moteur de MRS2. La puissance était fantastique et j'avais finalement réussi à obtenir une bonne extrémité supérieure à la courbe de puissance.

Malheureusement à une journée de piste dans Knockhill le moteur a expiré. Le piston du cylindre 1 avait échoué à la terre de l'anneau de façon spectaculaire!

Donc, je devais trouver un moteur de remplacement et les unités de MRS2 disponibles étaient tous un kilométrage élevé et pas tout ce que tentant. Au lieu de cela il y a beaucoup de moteurs de mrs3 autour qui sont un faible kilométrage. Comme le moteur de mrs3 est plus développé que le MRS2 il semblait une bonne option pour essayer de l'adapter à ma voiture.

Maintenant que je suis à mi-chemin à travers la construction, il aurait été préférable de simplement obtenir un moteur de MRS2 reconstruit ce qui aurait été plus facile!
