First time id cleaned the Mk1 since i got it at the start of September the other day, clayed it too, then it rained, and ruined all the hard work :(
Decided to go and get some pics as I have none of the car iteself, and I was bored with stuff going wrong with it!
Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project
yeah....im running 172 shafts but i think the tripod thing on my valver one is the same, well it has to be i guess to fit in the box
anyway....the noise went when i had it tracked/aligned properly. Well, its still there from time to time, but its very very quiet and can...
cool
ive just been back to the valver engine to get some parts off it to test...
map sensor....coolant temp sensor....also got a spare lamba sensor....will see what happens shortly
yeah the blue ones....the bottom hole is wayyy larger than the locator on the rear beam, so the spring would just move around? thats why you have the platform, as its the same size as the bottom of the spring....
i rekon the shocks might bottom out, as soon as you lower it off the jack, lol
i paid 700 for mine, 100% standard, was on 140k, but i was planning to swap engine anyway.
its 1996, 1 lady owner from new until 6 months ago, then her cousin had it. Full service history upto 139k, every stamp in the book....every reciept in the folder.
I hpi'd it, and it was clear. But as i...
the future plan is heavy engine modification......so standalone is eventually going to be considered
thought it was on the sunday....doh!
ah well god knows then.....could be anything, the amount of dodgy stuff ive found on this block as ive been going along is unreal, to have been built by a...
had a problem with the lambada in the past, then it settled down once it had been cleaned (was told to try cleaning, not sure if you're meant to?)
where is the coolant temp sensor?
i must have explained what i was thinking pretty bad lol
nah, the better performance is willy/megane bottom end + willy/megane head** OR straight standard williams lump
a common way alot of people do it is willy/megane bottom end + 16v head, but performance is worse due to the valves being...
yeah, i thought about that, and yeah it was in the project thread
it could be a partially both being messed up, but after opening the ECU is looks like its never been touched, 100% boggo williams ecu, so it wouldnt be running right anyway
better performance yes, harder to source williams engine with average miles nowadays, and they are more expensive...
most common hybrid engine setup people are running over on williamsclio/clio16valver is meggy b/e and valver head, its similar performance, williams slightly better
the problem...
heh :approve:
yeah, smokey as anything after it had been run....bit of blue at one point too....meh!
il text you closer the time on the number you pm'd me about sat
could possibly be picking williams head up this weekend, we shall see
saturday 10am is all good aswell mate, see you at the services.
heh ;) that went on the day after :approve:
meh!
its pretty much the same bar the sizes of the valves, its just how i got the engine
ive no idea lol, im not used to having a car with more than 100bhp.....something isnt right though there was always bits of smoke and weird smells since ive put the block in, probably explains it
yeah, there was a couple of hybrids there the other day running 159/160's just with a decat and standard spec.........
paul said its easily sorted by changing the fuelling on the map, but why should I bother spending money to map a standard ecu if i want standalone...meh
Poor result from the hybrid today on the dyno, but glad I did it as I know know there is a serious problem with it.
Took the drive upto Paul @ RS Tuning in Leeds, to see what power the hybrid was running...engine spec is: Megane F7R 2.0 Bottom End, Valver Head...Running Williams ECU. I was...
