If I wrote up everything we'd done on this project it would take up most of CS and Google would fall over trying to index it so consider this the abridged version with lots of pictures in place of several K words :) In short James required a car that would be competitive in Hillclimb and Circuit...

I do miss my Ph1, although Stu has it now and is looking after it very well and battering it around race circuits far less than I did! That is a lovely looking bit of kit though and I am a big fan of those Cobra Tech seats.

Hi Ben, we're really pleased with your car so chuffed to hear you're enjoying it and have had those shift lights flashing! :) Quite honestly one of, if not the, most awesome 197/200 road cars about anywhere! We need to have a play with the nitrous soon so drop me a line when you're free and...

For reference from that cars build sheet: Idle Air Mass: Cyl1: 5.2 Cyl2: 5.3 Cyl3: 5.2 Cyl4: 5.1 Anything between 5 and 5.5KG is acceptable. If you can get them back to that (via the pair of throttle shaft stops and four idle air screws) it should be okay again. Also what throttle pot is...

It's a lot more accurate running a second CTS, you can split them and we have an input on EC1 designed just for sharing NTC sensors with other things but it's no where near as nice as running dedicated sensors.

Nope EC1 can run with all the standard ones. You need to change the map sensor regardless of what control you use.

I really wish you all the best with this as 300 beans from an NA F4R is going to be bloody impressive but there's one thing that's bothering me that I'm not sure if you've covered or not..... that being the piston speed issue you encounter when running an F4R at high revs, they have a 93mm...

Hi Chaps, Really looking forward to hosting this one! Always a good day with the CS lot! Those going for the pizza and beer option at the end of the day please e-mail sam@tour-de-force.co.uk with your pizza order, pick from: - Margherita - cheese and tomato - American - pepperoni - American...

I think you're underestimating the cost to get it all working though. A copy of vision is £600, cable and comms box is £550, if you need a copy of table manager with dongle for the dash then that's £480 for the club version........... just the bits to get comms with it is more than a Dash 2...

Have you not got sensors and actuators already? i.e. injectors, coils, CTS, ATS, TPS, crank sensor etc. etc. There is no loom already made for that ECU unless you can track one down from an old Megane racer. Anything produced to a decent spec will be £650 + engine loom only as there is two to...

Well you sort of need to know if you're going to need to (likely!) before you go any further down the road of commissioning it else you may well spend a s**t load of money getting it in only to find it won't run your motor! Do the homework first to make sure. A loom for it will be pretty...

Okay MM produced those ECU's with various versions of software on them. Some can be "spoken to" by the generic version of Vision (MM's calibration tool) specifally those which were supplied to individual customers. ECUs supplied to OEMs such as RST were locked to a version of Vision only...

Oh also you'll probably need a dongled version of table manager to setup that dash. Do you have it? If not we may have something old enough in a box somewhere.

It's an MF4 ECU, quite classic now! Data sheet for it here: http://www.magneti-marelli.com/uploads/mediacentre/20100614024924-83814048400%20MF4%20data%20sheet%20v4_unlocked_1page.pdf Do you know what developer it's on i.e. has it been coverted to an open ECU by MM/Compsys or is it still locked...

Alpha-Weber is a bit old school these days and just does fuel and spark i.e. no extras IO at all! It's also a pain to calibrate as some varients weren't live mapable. Feel free to give our lot a shout if you're stuck for ideas. Fitted, setup and calibrated you're looking at around a grand for...

Here we go again! Solder is for PCB's not for wire to wire joints! Solder is not vibration tolerant on wire to wire joints. Soldered wire to wire joints in high vibration enviroments will fail eventualy. Soldered joints are often over temped during soldering which fatigues the wire either...

What exactly are you trying to fit i.e. what ECU and Dash. Is this ex Cup Racer stuff? If so from which revision/version of Cup Racer? We can supply pretty much every MM specific sensor, connector, dongle/software etc. but if you have Cup Racer stuff then thats unlikely to be of much help as...

Is it the P&G dual output throttle pot? If so then: Red = +5V Black = 0V Yellow = Sig #1 White = Sig #2

Can you clarify that, as in short no it doesn't. ST75's we've had running with over 190ftlbs (max rating for the box according to Sadev), ST90's we've had running with over 240ftlbs and had no issue (even slightly) with the change both manually actuated and actuated via paddleshift system. Both...

Gap should be 0.75 - 1mm. If it's a stock Renault sensor with the correct bolts it will be set correctly. Issue comes if someone has lost the proper bolts and mounted it with some that allow the sensor to move away from ideal position. Do you have a scope?

Change the tooth control table to what I have posted and try again. Failing that if everything else is good then the only thing left is ECU!

BTW here's the full tooth control table from a map that is currently running a Clio: 5 4 4 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 4 4 4 4 5 4...

Okay so it looks like you've narrowed it down to a crank sync issue ;) Have you done the basis i.e. scoped the crank signal to see what the ECU is actually seeing coming from the sensor? It could be as simple as whoever made the loom got your crank neg and pos the wrong way around, just as...

Clear the codes and keep and eye to see if they reappear. Emissions code may well be spurious.

Million quid F1 engine and it still had cable ties holding the loom to the fuel rail ;) Beru WIC has changed all that these days though.

In motorsport "Stick a bit of tape over it" is usually the main plan not the back up ;)

Going to be a big struggle to get anything out of Renault! It's not going to hurt anything if you cover it up and forget about it. Don't let it ruin your day, the X85's run with a similar size hole covered with tape in a similar place as standard due to the different upper engine mount design :)

It may do eventually. If you still have the laptop handy just plug in and clear the codes. I take it from the 0420 that's logged it's decatted?

Race tape is just posh gaffer tape ;) http://www.iscracerstape.com/

That's the one I'm talking about, it's purely for recirc into the manifold and isn't connector to the crank case breather. If you look closely at the strainer plate you'll see that hole runs all the way through and out the side of the strainer plate without breaking into the rocker cover area at...
