Cars looking good not too far off now, what cams did you end up getting ? Im hoping there is a couple of track days in November, or i will be propper pissed if I only get one outing in my car this year. I will get you that number for tires when I get home as need to go get a couple of sets myself.

I can never mind what pair cylinder pins 1 and 2 are but I think its Pin 1 is 2+4 Pin 2 is 1+3 Pin 3 is 12v Pin 4 is blank

Re: Road/Track 172 Thanks I still need to sort some heat shielding for the bulkhead and a oil catch tank but ran out of time before dropping it off.

Re: Road/Track 172 No you will need to connect the thick and thin 12v red lives going to the power relay then there are two thin black earths.

Re: Road/Track 172 Typical im away as i have a spare omex plug made up for connecting the ecu to a battery to check setings off the car. I forgot to sayas it was my last day at home , I ended up buying another serial to usb adaptor from a local back street computer shop for £5 that worked...

Re: Road/Track 172 If you could email it to me that would be great, Im not sure if Sitech has started the mapping or not yet, have to say though the base map from Omex started from cold brilliantly and drove fine but kept it under 3K on the way to dropping the car off. Not sure if im going to...

Re: Road/Track 172 New 15" track wheels bought :D just need to sort out some track tires ,then decide if im going ot keep my 16's as road wheels with normal tires or sell the Turinis with 888's fitted.

What as it ? Just seen your post and it sounds similar to the problem I had , unfortunatley mine turned out to be a damaged ecu which required a new processor board.

Im sure SWR Autos in Stirling would be able to fit cams easily enough for you, saves adding a couple of £££ to your bill traveling down south.

Re: Road/Track 172 Made a bridge for the fuel pump. ... Dam I phone

Re: Road/Track 172 I left the dash fed as normal all the unused wires from my old loom are cut back behind the gearbox , individually shrink wrapped then wrapped in a bunch and tucked back into the loom trunking. I made up a beige for the fuel pump fuse to power the 12v trigger for the ecu...

Re: Road/Track 172 Yip omex told me I would need to run a 12v feed and the aux2 to the cam plug as its a switched ground, justnow I'm still using the standard ecu for this as didn't know if the switch points were set in the map and ran out of time. I have run the wiring from the omex aswell so...

Re: Road/Track 172 They were on the car when I bought it but they were from the group buy on here a few years ago, fairly poor fit to be honest. Morgan the wiring is all plug and play bar you need to run an extra live feed in for the cam switch over and need to change the plug on the original...

Re: Road/Track 172 I got the ecu back from Omex this morning after a super quick 24 hr turnaround, to refit ignition amplifiers and change the processor that got blown due to them being removed. Plugged the ecu in and the car fired first time, Iv balanced the bodies as best as I could without a...

Ive put a 14" fan on my radiator,I got away with tilting the standard rad forward at the top but will probably upgrade to an alloy one at somepoint. That cam locking tool should be with you tomorrow.

Gaz Im away to China for a month with work on Thursday, but hope to get a couple of track days in when I get home. They are 16" Turini's they just look smaller with the 888's, I'm hoping to get a set of 15" 2118's or Williams wheels for track.

Re: Road/Track 172 Completed engine bay. New seats

Gave my track car a quick clean after finnishing the last lot of mods , just waiting on the ecu back from Omex then its ready for mapping. Just fitted : Sparco seats, Center console Engine Dynamics cams Full belt kit New dephaser Omex ecu and loom Jenvey 48's. 16mm front 15mm rear spacers

The guy I bought the ecu off is paying for it as when he sold me the ecu he never knew his tuner had modified it, so I really don't have a clue but from what he said its only a 5 min job to re install the amps.

Re: Road/Track 172 Yip you will need it to re torque the pulley bolts but you can get a shot of mine when you go to do belts and cams. After seeing the pics of your dash yesterday I also fitted a centre console, I'm going to give the car a wash tomorrow so will get some better pics then.

Re: Road/Track 172 Still no luck with the ecu so its going to Omex in the morning, we even tried wiring in coil on plug pencil coils today as it was set up to run this style on a Vag engine with no luck. I did however get the cams, timing belt kit and aux belt fitted :approve: I have to say i...

I tried pencil coils today wired as shown in the omex manual for wasted spark purely because they cost £5 from the breakers 5 min from my house, unfortunately this did not work either so the ecu is going ot Omex in the morning for a health check and ot have ignition amps re installed.

Just had a look about on the net and seen that a few people have done this on omex and ran it as wasted spark coil on plug, if I was to try this with scenic pencil coils would it just be 12 v from the coil plug pin 3 to each coil then pair cylinders 1 /4 and 2/3 to the relevant earth pins on...

Thanks for the info guys but think I will just wait and send the ecu to Omex if needed rather than chopping plugs and adapting a new loom. Ive made a start on fitting the cams and timing belt in the mean time.

Any ideas what cars run them Chip?

Well after lots of head scratching ,testing and finaly a phone call to the guy I bought the ecu off of I looks like we have got a problem :banghead:, the previous owners tuner had removed the ignition amplifiers as it was running coil on plug :cry:. He is checking to see if he has them still...

Re: Road/Track 172 As far as I know you need the pulley locking tool on all of them so you can tighten up the pulleys without messing up the tension/alignment of the belt.

I don't find mind bad at all for glare and it doesn't seem to show up marks easily, I might paint my cage blue at some point.

Cage is looking good cant wait to see this once it's painted, have you decided what colour the inside is going yet?

That's my plans for the morning Chip pull and clean the plugs again then check for a spark while it can crank over fast, then plugs back in and hook up a set of jump leads so hopefully get a good/ stable voltage while cranking. If still no luck I might just do the belts and cams and trailer it...
