avoid awesome-gti in irlam too, unless you want your car to make 200+bhp in standard form, lol.

whichever cams you fit it will always need a remap to get the car running correctly

right hand one goes to heater matrix... one on top goes to the header tank

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project yeah, heated screens are available for the mk1 clio for around £200ish apparently, but I chose not to get one incase of chips etc on trackdays, wouldnt want to be replacing them :( Im on my 2nd screen at the moment!

My idle was reet with the Schricks fitted, near enough the same as CatCam 428s. Lumpy but no issues.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project My arches dont rub for a start, lol!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not done anything since I removed them no, but I am going to be putting one/two 12v heater/blowers at the front of the dash top underneath so it comes out of the rear vents onto the windscreen, Just not got round to it yet!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Not sure, but Matteh will be able to confirm I guess... I just basically copied what whiteley had done by chopping the sunroof frame down the bare minimum, bolting it back onto the car, then sealing a piece of polycarbonate in cut to the shape of the glass...

Matteh's was higher, but still the wrong map completely. Also, they were not using the JB3 box that I was (1.8) i dont think, so the speed on the limiter would have been higher (longer ratios)... When we asked them what limiter theres was at when we first had the issues, they said 'we have no...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project you could get past 800kgs, without the cage I would probably be around 785-790! Its got... Lighter Engine (F4R) Removed Bonnet Skins Removed Boot Skin Removed Door Skins + Bars All Windows Polycarbonate Sunroof Frame Cut Down + 3mm Polycarb rather...

Just over 6k, it used to bounce off the limiter in 5th at around 120mph lol Dont think it was only the limiter though, the idle was terrible and low revs was crap....ignition timing and fuelling had to be all wrong too I guess!

Il await the thread asking why his limiter is less than 7200 or why it made 140bhp on the rollers :rasp: Mine would outrun 172/182s with the 1.4 map on! Got the 172 map on and the power was unreal!

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Stand Pass etc sorted, see whoever is going on the day! :) Will see what happens about the hotel guppy.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild Nice work :)

indeed they have. Il see who is coming and hopefully get something sorted

Il have a look around on there Justin, guppy there would have been a few of us coming lol

In one sentance: Send ECU to RSTuning or similar to get it virginised, fit an emulator, plug it in, away you go. lol :)

My exhaust was spot on too!

seems its fully booked up meh :dapprove:

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project What hotel is that? Replied in the other thread in Trax forum Hmmmm, might be something to look at over winter. Will have see what else happens first and see if the cost is worth it lol

what hotel you lot at?

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project if I get a stand pass and the car hasnt blown up at pod come over and say hi lol

Basically, the ECU gets a 'code' from the UCH, which comes to the ecu down a wire via Pin58. After you flashed it with the RSTuner + Group N, the ECU was virginised. (Basically this means the immobiliser 'code' in the ECU's memory has been wiped). BUT, as soon as you turned the ignition back on...

Daniel....he wouldnt have know if he didnt have a working rev counter, it will feel pretty quick anyway, my 1.4 map did, then when it was working on the right map it was twice as good! ECUClinic seem to have a crap reputation with 172 ecus! Burp...emulator (30 quid) soldered onto pin 58...

It will run, but the limiter might be lower than it should be, like all the other ECU's that have come out of the ECUClinic seem to have had.... If thats the case its probably the wrong map, but if you flash it with a map thats correct it will re-activate the immobiliser.....to get around that...

get it running and upto oulton park on the 17th november daniel ;)

172 engine into a Mk1 Zippo ;)

Yeah, it will run fine like mine and mattehs were. Just you might have a ghey limiter like we did, and crap performance due to it being some fooked up map... Beanie never knew what it was revving to as he never got the rev counter working either :( Fingers crossed its ok! I wouldnt put it past...

does beaniemoo's have an emulator on it? please say it does! hopefully the ecu hasnt got the ecuclinic curse :dapprove: edit. it has no emulator, hopefully it wont be a 1.4 map like mine or a megane map like Matteh's :( if the rev limiter is OK when youve got it running just never re-map it or...
