If you find the solution works, Id love to know how to get even more power out of my baby ps. watch you keep the engine bay cool when on the RR...my speedo sensor melted and started a small fire:o in the engine bay

Well it depends which bhp you use;) over here (SA) 1bhp = 0.7458kW in france 1bhp = 0.7209kW in the UK I believe 1bhp = 0.7337kW and finally 1lb/ft = 1.3605Nm so my peak power of 86.3kW = 115.8hp (SA) = 117.6bhp (UK) = 119.7hp (FRA) and my 145.8Nm = 107.2lb.ft Hope that...

I can only guess between the input and the outputs...but I know nothing. He did tell me it was wasted spark and the reason the injectors were being cut was because the management wasnt recieving the correct signal back from the coil...

Well pleased. Next up, im hoping BenR might be able to give me a way of getting round the problem with the injectors being shut-off...then Ill get the injector timing done...might yield even more ponies.

Yep..official renault franchise...but Im in SA...so might account for the difference...

So I was told this morning... While my car was at PP, they did map the signal, so should anyone want to install a SMT-7 onto the mk1 172, they shouldnt have any problems getting that info :) My tuner and I did discuss going to a stand-alone system but for my purposes, its not really worth...

They tried putting in a resister (I think) but didnt want to put too big a one in for fear of blowing the management. Can you explain this 2 stage operating system stuff to me...but I think they did try connecting it straight

My dealer used 10W50 Total Quartz 9000

alrighty..will do...thanks

hi guys...I got the car back this morning from having the SMT6 installed and tuned and Im very happy with the results. Biggest power gain was made at 4000rpm where I gained 5.4 kW Biggest torque gain was made at 1500rpm where I gained 23.6 Nm Peak torque was up by 6.1 Nm but the bonus is now...

btt...anyone else who might have more idea?

Any ideas how to get around that...ie...how to modify the system...The guys on this end are completely stumped

Can do it anytime you want, as when you get a new mod, you just head down to the rollers and retune.

Yeah, Andy from Grey Devil Industries got some great results with it. http://www.perfectpower.com/article/PP_Newsletter_April_2004.pdfhttp://www.perfectpower.com/article/PP_Newsletter_April_2004.pdf Im also going to consider an upgrade to the SMT7 once its released as that can apparently...

warrenty has unfortunately run out...damn...

Yeah...most of the noise is then turnin the wheel, doesnt matter if Im driiving or stationary...also when the car is just sitting and idling I can hear a slight noise, almost like a belt, but not squealing. The steering doesnt get heavy though...still as smooth and easy as it always was

Over the last few days my power steering has started making a whirring noise when cold, and turning the wheels. The whirring gets louder as revs increase...so my first thought is that the PAS belt was slipping...anyway...just to be sure I checked the PAS fluid which was very low...so filled up...

Now you all know how I feel living down here in deepest darkest HOTTEST africa...and then just to make things even better, Im at altitude (1500m above sealevel) so my poor little 172 only make 115hp @ wheels as standard [Edited by viceroy on 10 May 2004 at 12:04pm]

Unfortunately didnt get a chance to play with fueling over the weekend, but the car is in today for a session on the RR...Should be ready by 4pm...cant wait:)

Viceroy Glad to see you have done so much development work... its good fun working round these little problems.... its what makes the tuning game interesting... And also a little frustrating at times:cry: Your lucky that you can pop down to PP for help, we have to make £100s worth of calls...

Well after spending the afternoon at PerfectPower, it was determined that the 172s ECU really didnt like the SMT6 controlling the coilpack so after about 20 seconds it would promtly shut off the injectors....so inteligent is it that if the SMT6 was only connected to one set of injectors and the...

arent H1 fogs and H4 mainbeams?

Hes taking the car through to Perfect Power this morning so they can put an osciliscope onto the car to try trace the problem. Anyway, the car was cutting out randomly...didnt matter if it was idling, or being revved. Is there anything strange about the crank signal etc which might be...

Well hes a VW specialist, never worked on Renault before let alone a 172...Unfortunately we dont have Renault tuners here...but I trust this guy to be honest with me, and not screw me over

Ill find out... From what my tuner told me, its when idling but i cant be sure...

Andy? Ben? Anyone? Id really like to have the car sorted before the weekend.

Ive just spoken to my tuner again and hes still having fun with the car. Theyve installed the chip and the car runs, but then all of a sudden just cuts out. Theyre trying to trace the problem, but if anyone has had anything similar and knows what to look for then Wed really appreciate the...

Just got word from my mate that he recieved a pinout map from PP so the car will be ready this afternoon. Cant wait to pick her up. Will let you all know what the power gains were... Car as standard made 83kW / 144Nm @ wheels which is 122kW / 203Nm @ flywheel when corrected for altitude...

nope...If you want traction then get a set of semi-slicks...they tend to grip better than road tyres in the wet
