I have often wondered this, now its been answered!
Good work with the video/Channel, Video is produced/edited to just as good a standard as anywhere else and you come across just as well as any of the other guys on the top channels (y)
it never brought the light on once in 30k, HOWEVER it was running a superchips map so I'm not sure if the EML/EGR had been disabled, there was certainly nothing in the description to say it had but my old standard 65 used to bring the light on with the EGR disconnected.
Mine ran brilliant after I disconnected it while closed so it wasn't doing anything! Night and day better, performance, economy and just general running!
One of my favourite projects on here, I love seeing someone spend way more time and money on a car than its realistically worth (my drive is full of these projects!). Its amazing just how usable they are as a daily/commuter/European road tripper!
I'm not sure anyone's done one yet so imo its a lot of work (and cost id imagine) when the F4RT conversion is easy, tried and tested and bits are readily available.
Any time I come across one on a Clio its an injector, coil pack or lead (sometimes people trap them under the inlet when refitting).
First for me is always a code read, see what the car is saying and check the live data to make sure everything's as it should
Then I always check the resistance...
id get an aftermarket braided one. I've just changed mine due to corrosion on the steel part under the car (its all one pipe from under the drivers seat to the fuel rail) - it was the shittest job I've done in a while, I was 20 minutes away from taking the engine out lol it was about £120 from...
a few things worth exploring or looking into:
The base cars that the RenaultSport models are based on are generally nice handling cars, so starting with a good chassis design is always a good start.
The constant evolution of the cars, ph1 172, ph2 172, 172 cup, 182, 182 cup, 182 trophy, 197...
That's running on 3x cylinders. Unplug the injectors one at a time and see what one you can unplug with no change. Check the wiring to that injector (since you have said you have already changed all 4)
If that doesn't highlight an issue, replace (or swap cylinders) the plug and lead - To rule...
my thought process from that was a duff ABS sensor starting to give a slightly lower reading, not causing any issues as its within tolerances, but now its showing up due to the car having more lock than expected on the steering angle sensor throwing it just out of spec.
Purely a theory as I'm...
Id have thought if it was activating the ABS that's going to be due to it sensing a slower than expected speed so thinking you are starting to get lockup. Does it only do it at slow speeds? Id check the live data and make sure the sensors are all reading correctly in a straight line.
ah ok, yeah it must detect the different from expected wheel speeds due to more lock being dialled in, frustrating but there will be a solution I'm sure!
worth noting that none of my RSTuner tuned cars have had an EML come on, or any fault code stored for having no cat. - theres nothing that specifically mentioned that its been mapped out but i would assume it is, as my old standard one used to come on every few weeks (i just had a bluetooth OBD...
I once fitted a set of AP coilovers to a mk2 and had a knocking from the rear, I went over everything 10x, rear shocks back off, they looked identical to Renault dampers in dimensions on both ends where they mount to the car, used the Renault rubber top mounts, swapped to the genuine dampers...
To be fair, My MOT testers are always deep in discussion about things, every day is a school day for them! I always tell them if in doubt, Pass and advise.
for me, as long as budget can accommodate then a facelift trophy with heated leather, i had one in LY and it was a fantastic thing to live with.
mine didn't have the Akrapovic and tbh because they don't video too well, the sound they make in videos with an akra is the way they sound without in...
