That can be sorted ;)

Nah, she's in good hands :clown:

Nick your car is looking suitably upset with life at the moment btw ;) I found your ECU 'cushion' - straight out of the failsport manual of bodges I guess?

I'm happy to play in goal boys :)

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77 Building stuff, development work - it can get long in the tooth, especailly when you are making something totally different with no manual to follow - trust me I know :rolleyes: I think the entire front end has been...

There was an ITB'd clio of some sorts at Bedford during my last outing - he had no problems as far as I know of.

Good intelligent development work. The standard management is more than capable - it's just making the parts fitted work with it and acessing it for mapping. Once you've overcome those two hurdles your well on your way :) Knowing the Jenvey prices and all the other bits and bobs you've had done...

lol, Nick in the ASBO cup :cool:

Hopefully it will be the T up on stands/my ramps soon having all its bits ripped out of it ;)

Good news, that really is a lovely motor!

Re: No Compromise ph1 ITB build (Fastcar, BTM, TDF, RS Fab) - ITB update p77 Hope you manage to make the trip, I'd hate to have to miss something like that due to misfortune alone.

I'll be there, and so will Mess. Same place, same time?

I wouldn't touch the stuff. It's an aftermarket sales opportunity that ignores the fact modern engines are designed to function perfectly well with the correct servicing procedures without the need to be 'flushed'. IMO of course.

Ross, we have seen the potential for the kit over the standard air box via the difference in pressure drop within the intake manifold the two provide, not just the performance graphs. In layman terms - when you are at WOT (wide open throttle) inside the plenum (The part with RenaultSport...

Re: Well f**k me! Factory sealed?

Sounds good John, bet it makes a hellish noise at full chat + engine cleaning really is for people with nothing else to do ;) Having not seen one of these kits fitted as of yet - what the situation with the slam panel etc - is the standard catch used or are aerocatches fitted/slam panel cut into?

Agree totally David, nice to a get proffessional response.

hehe. Lets just say the standard ECU is doing fine with all the changes I can throw at it even with a non specific map (Charlie & Chris have examined the data on both Fueling & IG timing) - mapping will be the icing on the cake. + Let's not change the thread topic, the OP has seen very good...

No worries. It's actually a technique James uses, I'm just taking the credit lol.

No need to remove it, loosen the clip, slide the hose further onto the tank fitting and do the clip back up, run a razor around the pipe to shorten it (on the correct side of the hose!), then loosen the clip, slide the hose on further. I'd do it when the engine is stone cold to prevent any...

If its touching the hose then it will certainly wear through it eventually. Worth shortening the coolant pipe so that the bend sits nearer to the tank.

That's a lovely build from what I've seen, especially interior wise. Boys should be proud of yourselves. Hopefully you get the engine back at some point, I'm sure it will be worth it!

Sure thing. Open setups have their place - look at our manifold for instance, its not a cone, but its an open filter. You have however correctly identified the loss in output heat soak can cause. Popular belief states that every 7-8 degrees above ambient drawn into the engine is accountable...

No effect what so ever! Get the RStuner on it - then you'll begin to understand how combining different aspects of an engines state of tune lifts the entire output.

Re: Well f**k me! I wouldn't be so surprised, these are the boys that manage all of the RS race applications, such as the cup racers, parts, etc in the UK. Proper.

Yes, the Siemens unit on a standard RS is extremely complex, it has self learning capabilities which is why so many people bin it for more in depth upgrade work. As a unit it is significantly more powerful than any aftermarket solution, but the trade off is that it is significantly harder to...

'RAM' air etc is all a load of twoddle, as is a lot of the fluid dynamics theory you are proposing. It only takes effect above 100mph & even then the effects are negligible on an external scoop. Ross, the kit will certainly deliver on a car with the correct setup. However please don't expect...

Is that with an ECU as well?

Cool thanks for that :)
