Updates. Big ones.
Had a few hours spare back end of last week. Rolled the Kangoo out the garage as weather finally decent, and access required to passenger side.
1st job was replace top radiator hose. I had noticed a slight split in the one that was fitted when fitting the turbo kit. New old stock oem hose sourced.
Hose split visible. Doesnt look too bad but almost through.
Next job was fitting usb cable to ecu and fitting ecumaster edl-1 datalogger. This was centre console out and glovebox etc, routing wire through bulkhead. Couple of hours work for a tidy install.
With that done it was time to finish the wiring. Throttle plug needed wiring in, and once id found a good route for the wiring, i knew what length was required. Crimped and dual wall glued heatshrink gives a solid connection.
Also done mac valve and logger connections. With that done the loom was finally complete, I then offered up the battery tray to see how it all fitted.
The larger throttle body made routing the wiring to ecu and battery difficult as it was very tight beforehand and adding a larger silicone hose took the available room. The plastic battery tray was offered up and trimmed to suit.
I then fitted the ecu adaptor loom and ecu in the oem location, with a rivnut securing the ecu tonthe back of the battery tray.
With this done i connected the battery up and energized the ecu. The ecu powered up all good and ecu connected to laptop fine, radiator fan singing away as not configured.
With coils and injectors unplugged, uploaded the modified base map that i have been working on to suit this setup. Looked at sensor data and coolant temp, air temp etc looked good/as expected.
I then ran the dbw throttle calibration tool to set the bosch motorsport throttle up as no pre defined calibrations for the part number i am using. Throttle calibrated fine and operation checked.
I then cranked the engine over on the starter motor to check crank and cam triggers would read and sync.
Checking the logs, all good and both sync fine. No point in messing about, connected coils and injectors and cranked the engine. A few coughs but no start, sounded like it was trying on one or 2 cylinders..
Done some basic checks to ensure coils had power etc. All good so asked Sebimotorsport to check injector phase and firing order were correct. My pnp adaptor ign outputs have been wired a bit different to expected so needed a couple of changes, and tps inputs needed switching on the software. A few attempts later and it fired up running ok on all cylinders. Not the clean start i wanted but close enough. Could tell the map was way off, idling low etc but running.
By this time id pissed the neighbours off enough with noise as it was 9pm on Sat so asked Sebi if he had availability to remote in for cold start and 3500rpm base map to make it drivable up to 70mph to get to the dyno. He said yes 10am Sunday morning. This was goos but I still had no front end on the kangoo so had to quickly refit that and get it in a drivable state. Slight trimming to slam panel for throttle but all went together easy enough.
Sunday comes and its pissing down.
Sebi takes control of the laptop remotely and startes adjusting throttle, fuel ve map etc and communicating via whatsapp.
He asks me to start the engine. Engine starts cleanly and watch him adjust the throttle settings and it idles good. Few revs to check fuelling etc. Next we drive, with laptop tethered to mobile. A few tweaks to fuelling, ign etc and its driving good, very smooth. No warning lights on dash or nothing, rev counter etc working good, abs happy etc. This is good as im using clio3 canbus protocol on a megane engine in a Kangoo so was unsure how this would turn out 😄
In no time at all we are all done, its safe to be used. Cant exactly do any power mapping as the conditions are terrible especially on cup2 tyres and its going to Efi for mapping on the dyno.
Quick stop and the mrs takes control and do a few more miles. I set up the gear ratios/selection so it shows what gear its in.
This works great for a short period and then goes off. After a little bit of fault finding the clutch switch was not disengaging properly so the ecu assumed it was pressed. Id seen clutch switch stored on oem ecu - turned out plunger length was incorrect, quick adjustment and sorted.
