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...

I'm getting fuel to the bore , pulled and cleaned all the plugs as they were wet. I've just tried cranking it over with a led in each of the injector plugs one at a time and they all get a pulse, but by the time I got to the 4th it was very faint. What I did notice is when cranking that the...

Got my omex wired in yesterday with a full omex race loom,I am using a ford crank sensor with an omex booster box also feeding the standard crank signal. Im getting fuel but no spark, when cranking im getting SYNC ON which indicates its picking up the cps but not getting any spark. Ive been on...

Re: Road/Track 172 More parts arrived today :) New timing belt kit, Engine Dynamics cams, ED cam timing tool,aux belt, dephaser and cam locking tool. On the down side ive spent the last day and a half trying to get the car to fire up on Omex. Im getting fuel but no spark but I am getting a...

Final question hopefully :) I got my loom through eventualy from Omex and the cam phase is just a single wire, wired into aux 2 on the ecu. I called omex today and they said that this is a switched ground so I would need to run in another wire from an ignition fed live. Im going to cut off...

Morgan as above just cut the outer off of the phase 1 cable and feed it into the throttle body linkage, if you want a Jenvey cable to use pm me your address and I will post you one as I got 2 with my kit but never used them.

Re: Road/Track 172 Im not sure if I will ever fit the brakes as the set up on it justnow works fine, but they are rears from a 996 turbo and dont actualy have that big pad area. I would think they will be similar to the Megane brembos people fit but a little lighter.

Re: Road/Track 172 Omex phoned on Friday to say the loom wont be sent out untill Monday so not even started it.

Re: Road/Track 172 After seeing Swede Cup's caliper brackets I decided to have a look the posability of fitting a set of calipers Ive had lying for years at some point. Looks like brackets would be easy enough to make to fit 300mm discs.

How much more torque would these give over 60's also do they give a larger spread of torque ?

Re: Road/Track 172 The trumpets I have are 60mm but I originaly bought Jenvey 25mm spacers as I was going to run a flat back plate, so needed them to clear the fuel rail. When I switched to the shaped backing plate I just fitted the spacers inside the box so trumpets are 85mm overall. I did...

Re: Road/Track 172 Waiting on the omex loom turning up today so thought I would try the set of 16mm spacers I bought on. Im going to run the 16's on the fornt and order up a pair of 15's for the rear. Before After And then gave the tow bus a quick wash, I hate washing big cars :cry:

Ive not got a wideband Phil I sold all my guages when I got rid of my cosworths. I had heard a MK1 16v lambda plugs straight in so that may well be the same one used on the phase 1, if it is my mate has one lying that I will get tonight. If you could email me that map that would be great, my...

Just waiting on my loom turing up from Omex today hopefully, one think I havent checked is what Lambda sensor is needed to work with Omex? Also does anyone have a calibration for standard engine with cams, jenvey 48's I could use to drive the car to be mapped(10 miles) Omex are sending me out a...

Re: Road/Track 172 This is what I mean about the trumpets, they have a larger bell mouth than the normal ones used on clios which are 88mm wide I think. I also had a re-think on the fuel pipe rather than having the section of aeroquip hose sleeved and clamped over the original hose, which im...

Re: Road/Track 172 Got my new filter and backing box fitted today , still unsure if Im better to change my trumpets or not. Justnow they are 80mm long and 100mm wide so have had to be trimmed slightly as they overlap, with the new filter I think I could fit 110mm long trumpets. I also...

Re: Road/Track 172 Ive just bought a pair of Sparco rev 2 seats , so the recliners in my car will be going up forsale soon. Im also in two minds justnow wheter to fit the 197 cams I have or go full hog and fit 421, 438 or similar. old seats new Im home from work tomorrow so...

Seen these on ebay and if they do give the claimed power they seem good value.

Looking good Robbie :clap: I might have a pair of seats forsale soon that would go perfect with that car :)
