Don't know if they'll work for you, the guys got some serious balls driving that quick round there with a very thrown together suspension setup, can't deny how rapid it is though so fair play to him lol
Had another weekend sorting out a few bits on the car,
The throttle cable kept sticking and was revving at 2k on idle so fitted a new cable and a different idle control valve and works perfectly now, can't believe the difference a new cable makes, so much nicer to drive now. While I was fitting...
owned three ph1's now, can't get enough of them! Top silver one is no more but still got the black one and now a pretty standard silver one as my daily
Anyone know the length of the early ph1 handbrake cables? (adjusts from inside) Can't buy them from RPD anymore so thinking of just cutting the ph2 ones I've accidentally brought down
Its alright in pictures and from a distance, just up close you notice all the faults, can't complain for a cheap runabout though!
Cheers! Was getting annoying not having any cup holders at all.
Opened the air filter up today to find this which was a nice surprise as I was going to get one...
With the black turbo ph1 off the road getting its megane conversion and becoming much more track focused I thought I'd buy myself a run about. This came up fairly cheap nearby so went for it. Came with no service history other than a cambelt and dephaser and new brakes all round just before I...
Track work will always be difficult for boosted cars due to the extra heat generated more so with higher boost, if you're doing a conversion and taking it on track cooling upgrades are a must imo
Cheers mate, yeah the adaptronic needs speed sensors on the two driven wheels I believe then relate this to rpm for the ecu to know the gear, going to be trying it on my car as I'm getting rid of the Abs so will hopefully be able to use the speed sensors or at least fit ones that will work with...
The adaptronic has an inbuilt 4bar map sensor I believe, if you can get to the ecu check and see if there is a pipe coming out of it.
Its usually taken from this bit of the inlet and fed through to the ecu
Map sensors are just left in to plug the hole I think. This is the case on my turbo one...
Oh no not taking anything the wrong way, will good for people to see if they want to do it themselves.
Gen90 and me11 are definitely far easier in the fact that it's plug and play so the car retains all original wiring ect, think you still get the enigne warning light and full can too? If we...
Had the ecu already so seemed silly not to use it. Gives scope if he wants to go for more later on, dual maps, good boost control, boost by gear with the right sensors ect. The ecu still has full control over the engine so isn't any different to the gen90 or the me11 ecu, apart from needing the...
Made about 210 in the end, but that's without turning the boost up as there wasn't any point while it was under performing so much even on a low boost map
Yeah compression was good across all cylinders and the timing was correct which I was pleased about as it was our first attempt timing an engine!
Andy from engine dynamics said it behaved very similar to a 182 he had in before Christmas which also had reground cams, so fingers crossed its just...
Looks mint in those pictures! Car was at engine dynamics this week and didn't quite go to plan, think the engine we used may have reground cams as the map values are quite high and it didn't make the numbers on the dyno
Print out shows the car against a normal low boost conversion with very...
I'd agree Chris would know the ecu best as he works with them more, but engine dynamics have plenty of experience mapping turbo clios and are confident with mapping the ecu so should be okay.
Haha nope it's going engine dynamics, efi is too far to drive unfortunately, I've spoke to them and they're confident with mapping the adaptronic so I'm sure it'll be in good hands with them.
Just finished my conserving my brothers ph1, all done on the driveway by me and brother. Been a great learning curve, goes for mapping next week, car runs great on the bace map so hopefully all goes well.
Spec is:
Lower compression engine (thicker head gasket)
Garret gt2560r
Adaptronic ecu...
