I think only 5000 series prevent corrosion. But 7075 is not that bad at all. I use on brakes past and no problems. Imo they fail because of over tighten the bolts, that is how pressed aluminium looks like.

I just use 50nm and medium thread lock to be safe. Maybe a little to much, but nothing wrong.

I am using the 300mm brackets from @OssPoop and since my Clio is a daily car, I drove it in rain and snow anytime. The quality is just spot on, really just give them a coat of paint and install. Very good and solid bracket, I will remove them this Spring and repaint them if something is not...

That could be something, but I really did not know how the module is not seen. Maybe is a plug, as the fuse is fine.

? That is true?? Maybe some plugs moved around when the engine was lifter. But I will check them today, maybe I will solve with this.?

No, but there is no ABS module found. I will try it. Thanks

I will try to find someone with Clip, as I only have the Delphi 150e and RSTuner. The idea is that RS tuner finds each module, as now no ABS is found. The fuses are fine, so should either be a wiring problem, may be cause by how I lift a little the engine to can work on the aux kit, or the ABS...

But without any sign? just let the car for about 3 days with battery disconnected and then no ABS. I will take a look on the plug there, clean and check again. Literally no sign of something wrong.

Hello, Last week I have removed the aux belt in order to replace the steering pump. Also the alternator was noisy so I get a new one. Together with those bits I also put a new top engine mount. After all of this, when I attach the negative terminal and start the car I get the ABS, SERV and ESP...

Just receive a new gift And a busy day because the aux belt side became noisy and after remove the belt I figure out that the steering pump is leaking, the idler pulley and tensionar are worn, and also the alternator does not spin freely. So... -new steering pump -new alternator -new aux kit...

Need some custom mounts, but everything is possible. This, together with the rollcage should be on my car by this spring :)

Just add CC to my Clio, thanks to @Mbeau for the parts. Also retrim the steering wheel. Everything works good, really like the new look. Radu

Yes, it is steel. I work about two hours to straighten it back, as it was bend. It is really good steel plate there. Very few rust spots on a 15 years old steel plate. I bought a 65mm TB, but not a modified one, an original VDO one. After the AFR meter will be in place I will test it.

Yes, it is genuine Renault one. The 172 and 182 does have all the holes for this guard. 4 does have threaded insert, the other 6 does not, but you have access to use a nylon nut. I only use 8 screws. Thanks, Radu

Repaint a sump guard bought from scrapyard and put it on my Clio. Fits really nice.

Most reuse main screws as they seem to be ok. I also never saw one to fail.

Hi mate, Please understand us, you can only use the 182 dephaser pulley for your application. The vvt from 197 can only be used with pwm impulse and the ecu set the duty cycle, over a value means r****d the cam, under that value means advance the cam. The 172 and 182 ecu could only turn off and...

Happy new year! I just add an oil catch can onto my Clio. Soon will be added a fatty induction with Ramair filter and alloy elbow pipe, just removing the stock airbox. Also, new cams for the turbo engine arrived. The oil catch tank was a cheap ebay one, but with some bits inside. A pipe that...

Hello, Can anyone help me with something regarding oil catch tank? Can the return from the oil tank be connected to intake manifold? Or it is better to leave it in atmosphere? Thanks, Radu

Right, because of the CR when having 197 pistons on 172 head is like high comp pistons...around 12.2:1

As a summary: If you use 197 internals, including the head on the standard Ecu, you need: 197 head 197 pistons 197 or 172 rods (are the same) 197 or 172 crank (197 is better) 182 or 172 dephaser only 182 or 172 dephaser and Ecu remap

1600rpm mate On stock Ecu you can use ONLY 172/182 dephaser. The remap is around £300. There is no need for forged rods if you will use 197 pistons with 197 head as the compression ratio will be around 11.5 to 11.7 :1 (if surface the head)

The 197 vvt can advance more degrees than 182 one, so you cannot use it. It is a must to use the 182 one.

No, Chris can revert the signal (binary type) of the stock 172 ecu. Pwm is only for 197 one. You can only use on off signal for 172 ecu. So only 172 vvt and solenoid with reverted action. More specific, as around 1600 now (with 172 head) it is switched on, and on the 197 head because of...

The oil feeds in the 197 HEAD are different (inverted) compared to 182/172 HEAD.

Need to use the 182 vvt and 182 vvt solenoid and change from ecu at Chris. LaterEdit: It does fit and has the correct oil ways if its action is reverted from Ecu. So the 182 dephaser and solenoid is the right setup. IMO, after reading a lot about this conversion, I will stick my 197 head for...

You can't use the 197 dephaser as with standard ecu you cannot use pwm signal for vvt solenoid. Recent information I got from facebook is that Chris at Efi could change the action in the stock ecu to accept the 197 head oil feeds. So you have to remap the ecu ar first before running it (would...

Cheap cold air intake. Since ktr intake damaged my throttle body in 30k miles I ended up using stock intake with a little custom pipe. And for those who ask how ktr intake damaged my tb... A lot of dirt goes through the ktr air filter. I always (6k miles) clean and oil the filter, but ended up...

The 2 pot caliper has one 40mm diameter piston and one 45mm diameter piston. The volume of brake fluid to move them is smaller than the brembo one where are four 40mm diameter pistons. Although I have never use them with standard master cylinder, the free play 99% should be there. With the...
