I checked and cleaned everything on the loom today. Car is now a lot more responsive.
I think it needs and italian style tune up on the way to the MOT place
Its not quite the standard ECU - I appreciate where you are coming from - but its a remapped ECU. Ok it doesnt have quite the parameter range as an standalone system but it should be able to do the basics ..
Experience tells me you are correct fella ! I just want to get the thing running as well as it can on the KTEC kit and with tax and test. I wont sell a car I would not be 100% happy to buy.
Yes,
I have paperwork citing a group "N" chip but on closer inspection when I removed the chip from the car it is a LPT chip ( low pressure turbo ) marked on the case.
I bought the car to buy and sell. I dont have the funds / desire to buy an aftermarket ECU.
I want it running as well as it can on std ecu that has been remapped. Even with adaptronic etc it isnt going to run right if something fundamental is wrong.
Seem to have the car running a bit better now - it also in Doncaster with me.
Cleaned the TDC sensor ( it appeared to be a little corroded )
Does anyone in the Doncaster area have CLIP that I could borrow to see if it has thrown any fault codes ?
In reference to backing off the boost - no I cant , unless I just remove the rod completely. Its already got a long arm ..
I am aware of this ! Its run like a bag o' spanners since I have had it !
STB ! thats a lot of brass.
I am convinced its either lambda , or it has run like this since it...
I really want to just try it with a low boost reflash ( if possible ) as I want to rule out the chip.
Compression test is fine ( 150-180-150-180 )
Dizzy / plugs / leads have been changed.
I am convinced it is the bad/poor LPT map provided on the chip. Even KTEC who supplied the early chip...
Whipped off the ECU. Looks like a standard ECU - all renault markings and the s118303106 SIEMENS SIRIUS 34 typed into ebay comes back as a standard ECU.
It has in feint blue marked LPT ( low pressure turbo ) so I guess it has a map of sorts on it ?
