197 head will need d&t for another idle roller if its on a 172/182 bottom end. not sure on head gakset but you can work out your comp ration then decide on head gasket to suit. from memory clio is 0.6mm and megane 1.3mm. you will need to consider clutch, oil lines feed/return, coolant lines...

spoke to Andy tonight and he has kindly agreed to re-wire the full engine loom and get rid of and renault wiring so we can rule out any wiring gremlins!

Can you clarify which relay is fuel pump mate I don't have a diagram to hand. Also tonight I measure voltage at stanadard ecu end with throttle at 0% and it was 3v at 100% it was 0v however at the adaptronic end at 0% it was 0v but at 100% it was 4v. Funky wiring gremlins it would seem as in...

have you found a solution to the problem mate? yep, if i cant find an issue with the wiring, the only thing i havent replaced are injectors, fuel pump and relays, howeer injectors were new less than 1k ago but i imagine it is possibe for them not to work correctly from new. KT

real good effort mate, love the photo where its on two wheels :)

cheers guys, its just annoying after so much effort it dtill doesnt work, i guess thats the 'fun' part about building something which isnt meant to be though. the problem is the ecu is only seeing 40% throttle posistion at wot and is causing a fueling issue. need to check the voltage at...

So it turns out I had a restrictor in the oil feed to the turbo and shouldn't have which was causing my oil to turbo problem. That seems all sorted now. On another note I have a wiring issue we believe, if I can't fix the car in the next week it will be getting returned to standard, really...

hash that, took the car out for drive and the problem is still evident, nursed it home but had the laptop plugged on for the full drive and took a log file, so will be sending this to scoff to see if there is any solution, will keep you guys updated to anyone following

Will check the relays The only think I haven't changed is fuel pump and fpr and fuel filter and relays I'd imagine if it was fuel pump it would be all the time? note I've just gone out the car to this morning and it is absolutely fine, this fault is driving me mad!

Well after diagnosing this as a dodgy map sensor built into the ecu with scoff checking all the logs I ordered a external one and fitted that today all was well untill it decided to cut out at a junction again car started again after a few minutes but now you can't apply load above 3k revs or...

Hi guys, ive read every thread i could see and none of them have solved my problem. It's an intermitant fault which is most annoying. car cuts outs only every so offten at junctions, can go for a blast come to hault then try to pull away and it will stutter and then cut out. i cant think what...

No debris in current engine I had the sump off the other day to check as that was my first thought, sump was clean. Cheers Andy, will be up soon

Cheers bud, should of bought a genuine garrett to begin with, we live and learn though. Was only a 1/4 mile push home About 800 mate, and only kids boost between 5-8psi. Checked the oil feed to make sure there was no blockage too and that's all clear as is the return so its a strange one.

little update, car wont be at pfc, turbo shat itself ordered a new garrett gt2560 going to pull the engine out on saturday and shot some arp rod bolts in it too whilst its out, will paint the block and gear box again and give it a little tidy up. ill be at PFC with craig though and...

Cheers buddy, scoff has done a top job mapping it. as above, sorry if i missed this! Nice little update coming this weekend, will hopefully be at the CS NE meet too.

Looks great mate! what are the CL pads like? I'm looking into getting some

If you work out how to wire it in correctly would you mind posting it up, I managed to get as far as getting the relay to click but the hazards wouldn't come on. I hate the fact mine is glued to the ph1 switch

Sounds good mate! erm clock were easy yeh, just ph2 body with ph1 electronics, couple of torx bits and they are apart

Cheers buddy, you wont go wrong with a decent ph1!

This looks epic, to be honest I think your a hero for painting a LY car blue, I'm surprised cs police haven't been along to have a go at you for that. Are you going for a bigger turbo to suit the forged engine out of interest?

Sounds good buddy, hope everything's going well! Haha boost is dangerous mate, it's the most fun you can have legally for sure! Small update, my coolant header tank was making a load of funny noises when I turned the car off and I had a leak that was hard to find, I harrowed it down to the...

Really sorry to here what happened at efi mate, hope its fixable at not too much a cost!
