upper end of the price scale for a car of it's age and spec. Not overpriced, but not cheap

Career choice safe.....

think so yeah yup, and sadly not. Challenge failed :( cheers ginge ;)

it's not exactly the standard ECU's fault. It's not designed to be manipulated. Being "good enough" says exactly what the problem is with explaining how important engine control is, it's regarded as the expensive afterthough, where is should be just as important as which turbo you buy.

yes, every turbo'd clio on stock ECU. it's a shitty way to do it, which is why it was dropped

long term plan was to sell the ECU with a single unit License dongle. No idea if it's still happening not that simple, you have fly-by-wire throttle to contend with, so you'll be converting to cable throttle etc too

took me 3 days to clean up the rolling road when that happened to one car in particular.

50p says it's an injector

answered your own question ;) find out what they are first before deciding to remove. They might be ok, or they might be dreadful

no pins need changing around except on a ph1. it plugs straight in on a ph2 172 or 182 mapping license and dongle isn't quite that straightforward. I have a dongle for full access, and as a GEN90 dealer I have full firmware and CANbus strategy support

Gen90 plugs straight in so no loom and very minimal fitting cost. "cheaper" ECU's aren't cheaper once you need a loom and lots of fitting labour. Just get the Gen90, it smashes everything else in the face for functionality, and it's so easy. What cams are fitted and why? I think I saw this...

which are NGK Platinum.

The MPS is my mates ;)

the tubes have a ring of solder in there. Slip the tube over a piece of wire, twist the wires together, then move the tube so the solder ring os over the joint. Point heat gun as tube, and watch the solder melt into the wire and shrink to a seal

I'd say buy a Nexus 4, but the back order wait and general balls up of the ordering system is crap. Shame as it's an amazing phone for peanuts

4.2, got it on my Nexus 4 If you want an S3, just buy one off-line, it'll be unlocked

I'll do another thread when I've done something worth posting about to it, but I bought this today...

fully agree with that, easier car to live with. As far as mileage goes, low mileage cars seize up from lack of use and need just as much changing; I've seen 18k Trophys with seized aux tensioners. I far prefer something with some legs on it, they're always faster for a start.

apparently being cheap to refurb is a prime requirement.........because they need it every 6 months

8mm square. £3 from halfrauds

that sounds like it's got an air leak

No, disagree, it's not using the correct tools, it's using the correct tools correctly. many many people do go wrong with using the genuine tools. Operator error is the main problem from the start.

if you don't have a clue what you're doing.

LOL.......

could be jap. 114.3 and 108 easy to check with a tape measure

I'm going to do some back to back tests in the new year, so I'll be able to tell you exactly the benefits.

The Oreca one? haha, I was told the wrong price, but they honoured it. I should have paid more than I charged you for that

stop driving and get it looked at ASAP before you throw a rod out the side of the block

Coops used to do them. They're rock solid and do cause vibrations, but they stop unwanted movement that could cause turbo mounting/gasket/stud problems

*awaits clip of big ends knocking their tits off*
