Yeah, so EFI provide the turbo flash to the ECU as well as FI MAP and piggy back module. The car can be run on the flash, but as Chris at EFI has said, it'll be better to have the flash tweaked to the car. Also, the map is designed for a gt25 turbo.....im running a gt28 as I couldn't lay my...

That gives me hope! Lol

I'm hoping do too! Will see later on.....thats if I can get the rust welded originals out. The downstream 02 doesn't appear to do anything at all. The EFI blurb does say the post cat 02 can be removed, so I'm assuming it's been turned off via the turbo ecu flash. If that's the case I'll just...

Looks like it's oscillating nicely between 80 and 800 mV

225 injectors, MAP, turbo etc are a first time fitting/conversion. Will change the lambdas and see whats what. Then maybe have a clio bonfire.....🤣

I'm gonna change the lambdas and see what's what, but ultimately running it upto EFI for map fettling will resolve the issues. Will keep the post updated!

It's got me scratching my head tbh. I got Bosch lambdas for a good price and looking at the originals, they look like they've been on the car since forever so I'd have changed them anyway. MAP is new and supplied by EFI for FI application Air temp sensor was changed for a gen Renault item as...

The car has actually been in use....I bought a second engine which I fitted shortly after the original popped, so its only been off the road for a few weeks while I did the engine swap. That said, I will check the harness connection as you suggest. Tick all the boxes and all that good stuff 👌...

Screws in from the top, just right of the oil filter by the looks. One out, one in....job done

🤣🤣 Made a few of those expensive mistakes! 😳😀.....just not that particular one lol. But yeah, the prices aren't cheap!

Yep, looks like the oil level sender. Renault part No. 7700421391

So, I've been running the car the last two days and much like Steve's car, the idle isn't ideal but does get better once its up to temp, and runs nicely past 2k rpm. I'm 99.9% I got the timing on the nose tbh. All gen Renault tools were used and did many, many rotations and cam position checks...

Yep. They're the same 172/182/197/200

Got a TB coming from a clio 200, and two new Bosch lambdas coming from Autodoc. Oddly the rear lambda wasn't reading at all, though I am wondering if the EFI map has deleted it. Dies say in the blurb that post cat O2 csn be removed 🤷‍♂️ I cleared the codes, and the only one that comes back is...

@SteveC_1879 Diagnostics results make interesting reading. So that looks like both lambda and throttle body issues, as thought. I did record some lambda live streaming too:

Found bosch lambda sensors for £35 each, so I've ordered them. Prob not a bad call to change them regardless, and as you said, it may be the source of the issue

Thanks Steve....I'll give that a bash!

The initial sound you hear in the vid is the carbon canister, but the rest, and the continuous whining noise is 100% coming from the TB

The idle levels out after 30 seconds or so, but when you dab the throttle it bogs down, almost stalls, then picks up. Combined with awful noise the TB is making, I'm hoping its gonna be an easy fix! I've got a basic scan tool that threw up a p0130 but after clearing it, it's not come back...

So.....I think the TB may be the issue?!

I've used wrap around heat shielding on my silicon pipe. Looks like it'll do the job. Got loads left over if ya want some to use on your silicon pipe? Happy to put a length of it in the post to you 😀

I'll get my mates machine hooked up....its a couple of grands worth, so I'd like to think it'll be able to hook into everything. Compression test will be done tomorrow. I misplaced my compression tester so didn't get a chance to test it the last few days. Engine was running fine before...

Clip? I've got a friend who has an all singing all dancing diagnostics machine? Anything in particular I should look at?

It's had the EFI turbo ecu flash (which will need a tweak due to a slightly larger turbo) Idle does smooth out the warmer it gets, but its the hesitation/bogging and the occasional mini back fires (for want of a better word) that's got me scratching my head.

Hi All, Hoping someone can suggest areas to look at with my newly converted 172 turbo. Long story short, the engine bent the intake valves a year ago so I decided to rebuild the head, and reinstalled prior to doing the turbo conversion. New valves were professionally fitted and seated with a...

I think I know the answer, but after confirmation. Just reinstalled my engine after a turbo conversion and on start up, it's running rough as a badgers arse, and after a little drive it feels very much like its running on 3 cylinders. So after a bit of headscratching and looking, I spotted no.4...

So, I've just ordered a hose heat protection wrap around blanket thing. That should fix it

I've used Engine Dynamics oil return and though the engine isn't in yet......it does look like it may run pretty close to the down pipe! I'm tempted to wrap the pipe to give some protection

I ported my wastegate out a fair bit: Should stop boost spikes with luck. SteveC put me on the right lines with the oil feed. I got a 1 meter Mamba oil line for 27 quid and an adapter £13. All fitted with no dramas: I've got the Engine Dynamics oil drain kit, which tbh you coukd source...
