You can offset cut the back plate to move the filter relative to the bodies and relieve the edges along with the alternator bracket but it's still much closer than I'd like and a lot of arsing about!

I have never had a good experience with the BMC CDA filters but even I didn't think it would be that bad until we tested it!

That's mainly because of how the DD ATMC2 correction factor works out estimate flywheel power. If you run a DD with the SAEJ1995E correction factor they stack up pretty bloody closely with each other. I do like the Superflow kit though ;)

A bit of for reference. We've done over 40 Renault F4R engines on port throttles which are in use in 5 countries at the last count, not just 172 and 182 but X85 and C85 competition cars including ex R3 230PS engines etc on Pectel, Marelli and EC engine control. A healthy stock 172/182 engine...

Cam timing would struggle to lose 20bhp. 10bhp maybe but 20bhp it'd have to be massively out. Also 16 degrees of inlet cam timing advance added to the above will make some difference, even if that difference is bouncing valves off pistons because the timing is so far out! Have you checked the...

Haha :) I got more CEUs for mine LOL Did Basics of ICE in 07 but didn't manage to blag enough SAE credits to do REC until much later! I love the SAE stuff, it's fantastic and IMHO the best training there is for what we do due to how it's presented and how it's tested. I really want to do the...

I don't have enough information to make a valid comment on it. Who did the calibration? What have they changed in the calibration over standard? How have they changed it? What else has been changed on the car? If there are aftermarket cams in there how were they timed up? etc. etc. Without...

Yep got one of those ;) And one of these as I'm also a member of the SAE. Got SAE basics of ICEs and CAN for vehicle applications as well :D

Quick bit of info on the boost control and why it's so smooth/driveable. EC1 has closed loop boost control and uses a 16 X 16 target boost map based on RPM vs TPS. As such you can extremely accurately calibrate a boost curve and therefore delivered torque. EC1 samples the MAP sensor at a very...

No PINS or similar on this one. Any Pectel map can be locked via a Password but that's not what is going on here. Mountune have their own developer which requries a copy of Desc with the correct Mountune profile and Mountune dongle to access the ECU.

Just seen this thread. On a T6M ECU by any chance? If so then yes I can help. If it's been a Mountune job from the start then the ECU will be on a Mountune developer. To have access outside of Mountune it will need converting to PEXT (Pectel External), doing so will lose the map. What is the...

Yep that's the most powerful F4R in a 172/182 we've seen at TDF. 224bhp IIRC. The very very old school Link engine controller was properly holding things back though. With some modern kit on there I reckon it'd be 230bhp!

PNP is easy to do with an adaptor loom and a couple of Autosports. In order to access the ECU you need a copy of Vision (MM Calibration software) and a dongle (which is essentialy a hardware lock). Both of these need to match the ECU firmware version for comms to be established. The...

They're not too bad actualy. If you can turn up a copy of an original cal you can export most of the tables to the a blank one. Problem is turning up an original cal! Real advantage of doing this is not having to mod the original wiring loom/make up an adaptor harness which keeps the car mostly...

There is no where to my knowledge as the dongle prevents this pretty effectively! MM will sell you a replacement customer spec ECU (or at least they would when it was current) but it will need calibrating from scratch incl all sensor setups etc.

Yes it is if its the MM external customer spec unit. However the Cup racers don't run the external customer spec unit they run the Renault spec unit - which is mappable but not practicaly by anyone but Renault/MM as you need the Renault profile and dongle for Vision!

Put an EC2 on it and you can run DBW as well! Only caveat is we won't supply this for road use, at all, as obviously it's not type approved. I'll shortly be running DBW throttle bodies on my Xsara with a BMW E46 M3 throttle motor and a VAG pedal position sensor :D

Clutchnet produce the current X85 paddle clutches. They're okay if you're doing under 6 hour races. Mardi Gras/BPM have their own friction material they run on the clutch net paddle which is good for 24 hour weekends in one hit but does shorten the flywheel life.

We're Motul dealers. Drop me a PM with what you want and I'll price up for you.

Low end could be better but the dead alternator and 11.8V battery voltage put pay to any more calibration work that day. When it's back again I'll optimise that as we should see low RPM torque come up and the 3 - 4K range lift a bit to form a smooth curve over the rev range.

P.S. With a bit more time and a working alternator I should be able to optimise the 3 - 4K RPM area a bit more and bring the torque up a touch to make a really smooth curve. Although Tony doesn't care about that as the car will never be down that low ;)

In the vid there is a mix of third and fourth at varying loads and throttle openings to check transients, part throttle etc. Our chassis dyno supports 190mph+ so we can run Clios and similar short geared stuff in 5th/6th if we really want. For the most part 3rd and 4th are fine. Generaly...

170 I think if memory serves. Good power and decent torque with a really nice flat curve. On 95 octane fuel it won't do much more than that! :)

Hi Adi, To identify if you have a useable crank signal you really need a scope on it so you can see the waveform. A voltage reading from it just means it's doing something, not neccesarily the right something ;) If you have a good crank signal and the loom buzzes back from sensors/actuators...

The hat is amazing! It's now standard TDF workshop wear until summer arrives :) Great feature, great car, great mag!!

Re: someph-ing different........... I've already sent Neil a text asking for the number of the lass with the pink stripe in her hair ;) Car looks mega in the mag, very proud to have worked on it. There's an excellent quote from a stunningly handsome chap on the front cover as well! LOL

From a performance point of view I think it's hard to fault these mounts. Neils car is fitted with them and I was impressed with how little engine movement there was whils still retaining sufficent compliance not to break anything.

Good day had all round and some good gains found! Looking forward to getting Mojos back with the new airbox to test again and Jonesys to sort the airbag light issue he's been having for a while since the ring incident!

2live, exactly I lost money and time. No one else did and I will always risk my funds and my time on developing something before I risk anyone elses!! If you would like to pop in and see my kit and examples of my work you are always welcome, as is anyone.

I'm actualy blushing slightly here ;) Cheers for the positive comments chaps. We can definately have a look at this, there are a couple of possible solutions but the most cost effective and definately the one to try first is revisiting the calibration of the stock ECU. As you may know we...
