    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Thats exactly my thoughts.... We have put the cams to stock and lost 50bhp... something is defintaely up with it. Running a steady 13ish:1 AFR, with around 35ish degress of advance.... everything I can do from the management side has been set to its optimum.... it HAS to be cam timing...

    No worries mate, we just literally had the MOT bay arrive today, so its a bit mad at the mo. Danny popped in again and he too was scratching his head (and hes the renault master!) I'm sure he wil be online to post up his thoughts...

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Hi chaps, Well we've bneen a bit manic as we have a drift car and a kit car to finish building for japfest this weekend. Nick, I did get a missed call from you, best thing is to ring the office (01373 30 30 33) during working hours!! I've spoken to GMC and they have confirmed stock timing for...

    Thanks for the input, roll on Monday! I too am intrqigued by this little french two litre four pot!

    lol you must of fitted a few cams to RX-7s? All the best tuners are nowadays.... I only say this as I have actually had a young chap ask me what sort of cams are available and the expected gains!! Oh dear.....

    Plus if you look at thre torque curve on the graph (or any of my graphs) you will note that I can indeed, map an engine (6 years of doing so which among the masters isnt alot, but its alot more than most!!) But yes, the flywheel power is worked out by the dyno, using principles such as SAE80DIN...

    In that case, Danny has timed the enginewith his renault tools to be as per OEM, and we have lost 50bhp... arghhh! lol

    Havent tried measuring its resistance, but it is drawing current according to our scope. No audible click, will use the steth tomorrow...

    Hi chap, its all aprt of the plan to get it running spot on! Don;t think theres too much flaming, alot of people on here are very helpful, and some just don;t seem to know what they're on about lol! Matt

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    yes 428s, thanks chaps. Just spoke to Nick, like I told him, we'll get there, its just learning about a new breed of engine. General mapping principles (all engines are just burning fuel at the right time, ie the same really) would tell me wither cam timing is off or VVT is not working as it...

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    We have improved the car, got it up to over 180bhp. The cam timing has been changed and now it is 130bhp. I am sure when Danny confirms if the cams are set up under usualy locking tools (which he did) or if they need to be setup via DTI and Valve Lift. What are the exact specs of the cams and...

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Nick, Sorry but this should read as: The car as matt said was making the power they have seen from other clios. After fitting your ECU you smoothed out the torque curve and added 30bhp, so your ECU works brilliantly. That is what I would make of things so far.... Matt

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Paul exactly, the cam triming needs to be set by a DTI.... (thats how we usually do uprated cams!) as the stock cam locking marks must be wrong for these cams. (Same as Kent cams on a Zetec) The VVT solednoid avticavted ior deactiavted does nit change the graoh, for soemthign adding 16* of...

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Nick, an ECU is an ECU, if it can deliver different amount of fuel and different spark advance dependant on load and speed then its fine. A rough torque curve would indicate something to worry about, rest assured it is NOT the ECU. As I say on the site, it is the commonish figure for Clio...

    Nick, The torque graph was all over the place, an OEM car should be smooth and steady generally. It may of felt different on the road however...

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    With the VVT off the low down would be ncie and smooth, as per a normal cam profile....

    Cro, We are putting 12v directly to it, no click. Nick the graph of how the car came in would say that the car performed very badly? Matt

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    On the ST yes you remove it. Sometimes they do get gunked up, you leave them in parrifin over night and it clears it usually. From experience anyone: can you audibly hear the clcik when applying 12v (Engine off obviosuly)? On this one we can't (on the ST and Puma engines you can, sounds like...

    I thought Paul was Nicks mate, I dont know him off of here I dont believe, and he said he drove the car before????

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Thats what I thought Nick, was just confused as Paul said he thought it was the slowest Clio ever before we took it on! Anyway, Comps look ok, up around 200psi, pretty much even so no valve damage. Timing wise... Now one thing we do know is Zetecs, and when fitting Kent cams to them, the...

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Yes its def getting 12v as its drawing current (we arent that bad lol!) Will check compr. Remember it was making 183 with the time all out, my guess is it was advanced when out, and the VVt has stopped working, will C/T it now :)

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    We weere never told it was slow when he drop;ped it in, otherwise I would been asking questions! Anyway... riddle me this... The car now makes 136bhp, and the exact same curve with or withought VVT soplenoid being powered. Somethings wrong here, and we are not renault experts. Any ideas? All...

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Sorry but the above makes no SENSE! The mapping cant change the ratio between fly and wheel, thats the dynos SAE guess work! In terms of mapping, the reason we went DD was so we could steady state accross the entire rev range, not just powr mapping as you say.... yes blame the mapping, oh, the...

    We went down the same route as for Dave knights car, in motorsport you usally need 2x throttle cables (to support twin linkage) didnt realise they were that cheap, defo the way to go about ITB conversions, thanks for the info. Do you have a part.no? Oh, just ordered this...

    It may prove more worth my time to uncode the Clio CAN commands and drive the dash directly with the V4 ecu.... The only downside to this is that whoever wants to be a guniea pig may be without their car for a while!

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Nick, the good news is we did leave the majority of the old harness there. The bad news is we utilised all the grounds for our grounds and any sensors we utlised (IAT, CLT, CRNK) etc were cut. We could back pedal it, but that would take quite a while I would of thought. When we first booked...

    Gearbox Oil, where to check the limit?

    Thats the general way of doing it, always go by manufatures reccomended levels though

    few problems just had my car itb'd

    Thats including our V4 stabdalone management. I can at request leave your OEM ECU in there to keep the dash happy as well. Its not the usual way of doing engine management for us (most cars we work on have no loom at all let alone a factory dash!) but in Nicks case he was after a stack style...
