Not too sure how you have worked that one out Sy?!?! :confused:
Either way, the Meg is a cracking motor/toy that has Mk5's licked when it comes to corners / fun factor. It's not particularly rapid in a straight line, but that's not the point of the car. Great choice IMO, now go embarrass some amatuer super car owners at your local track :happy2:

alright, but it would be near enough. Must remember not to talk down the k04 engine... :wink:
stage 2+ dyno dynamics is typically somewhere between 330Hp.
The Ed30 if running 330hp and weighing in at approx 1395kg = 236hp/ton.
The meganne if running 280hp and weighing in at 1230kg =227hp/ton
Its near enough. an extra 10-15hp/ton wouldnt help it much. The R26R would be gone, which i guess is kind of what i was trying to get at

^^^^^^
Plus the r26 has better straight line traction, the revo knuckle some how does what it does in the corners
In the straights too.
The revoknuckle is the way forward for FWD i wonder if a retrofit is possible on the edition 30.

Anything is possible If you have enough money to get someone like Alex to custom fab all the bits to make it work.

Talk down the KO4 as much as you like pal, I don't have one anymore :grin:.
However, for those that do - the only RR that gives Stage 2+ cars 330bhp is JKM and I dare say that a Stage 2 R26R would not get anywhere near 280bhp on the same rollers. 280bhp for a R26/R is a very healthy Stage 2 from what I have seen/read (decat, FMIC, injectors, filter and everything crossed) and this is on RS Tuning's DD rollers. Stage 2+ KO4's make 350-360bhp all day long on the same rollers, so a much fairer comparison if we are comparing apples.
Regarding fatness - When mine and 2 other ED30's were weighed-in on corner scales at Marham, they all hovered around the 1360kgs mark. So given that and the difference in power, there is still a fair gap between the 2 when it comes to power/weight and straight line poke. But then the Mk5 would definitely need that trump card if they were to cross paths on a track, just to save utter embarrassment if anything else .. :ashamed::laugh:
My best mate had a Stage 2 R26 for a couple of years and although it was carrying an extra 100kgs or so over the R, it wasn't in the same time zone as my old motor when on the loud peddle (by his own admission). However, put them in to anything that has a curve and I would of swapped drivers seats instantly.
