Info on here regarding how to wire up properly so the epas ecu sees vehicle speed and rpm. https://cliosport.net/threads/epas-fault-help.841005/
Some pics on my Trophy thread too post #312 https://cliosport.net/threads/t-turbo-is-back.536356/page-8#post-12324798
Its awful with the...
Join straight onto the cut cables with an uninsulated crimp and cover with dual wall heatshrink. Ideally you want a hydraulic crimper and ferrule to suit, about £30 off ebay.
Id also consider wiring the epas ecu up to the car properly instead of the potentiometer setup, as it does not work...
The wilwood calipers are quite compact so i would imagine they will fit ok, its only the meg brembos that usually give issues.
I run et43 2118 with wilwoods/reyland rotors and bells and loads of clearance without spacers.
Great update. Much difference with the egr operational again? Ive not tried spinning it round yet.
Reminds me i must do cambelt on my orange dci soon. Overdue on years.
Updates
Done a few small jobs to the Extra. Serviced it, fresh Valvoline vr1 racing 20/50 mineral oil and purflux filter. Ive stuck with the vr1 as it seems like good stuff and oil pressure is epic on it. 4bar oil pressure hot over 3k rpm which is miles better than the average c1j that...
Ive seen that but interested in bearing clearances and a few other bits. I assume there is an F4R rebuild manual that has everything in, i have similar for a few other ren engines.
Good Morning all
Does anybody have a f4r engine rebuild manual? I need torque settings/sequences for big ends/mains, clearances etc. I only have the service manual and it does not cover much of the bottom end and struggling to find anything.
Ive been told its very similar from a good source. There is slight visual differences, meg250 coilpack securing bolt on number 1 cylinder faces towards flywheel so it can be unbolted easily with boost hose fitted, whereas 197 number 1 coilpack securing bolt faces towards cambelt same as 225...
Updates
Kangoo is now sorn due to poorly engine. Ive not really touched it since last post but have started gathering parts.
Have purchased a rebuilt megane bottom end. Spec is Wossner pistons stock c/r, pec conrods, new oem renault oil pump, gen renault main bearings, king big end bearings...
Pre mot update.
Cv boot done, hour of mess yesterday. Shaft out, good few choice blows to cv with large hammer and cv popped off. Note genuine renault cv boot in the background. Typically would not fit as aftermarket shaft and slightly bigger outer cv. So had to scrouge round and found a...
Id probably use a time sert instead of a helicoil. As above can be done in situ but ultimately head off is best.
If your not keen on doing it give this fella a call. He drilled out a glowplug for me and done a fantastic job. He does stuff like this all day long...
Updates
Blue dci due mot this week. Ive given it a pre mot check over and apart from a pinhole in passenger side cv boot it all looks decent and should pass without too much drama.
Done a few long ish runs in it and the mpg is even better on the £25 map. Went to gainsborough to pick up a...
Back to the project post.
Last post was around April 2021 and the suspension and brakes were completed, so at a guess this was late April / early May.
Next job on the list was to sort some minor paintwork to the front jacking points. The sill lip had been jacked up incorrectly cracking the...
Awesome views.
Had a great time and really enjoyed it noting almost 270miles and 3/4 of a tank of fuel used on the Sat. Ticked over 45k on the way back to Moggys.
This was largely a shakedown for the trophy as ive not really used it in anger too much so was hoping there would not be any little...
Trophy weekender 2022 update.
I had fancied doing the Trophy weekender for years after seeing all the pics from previous years. The problem is i did not actually have a trophy to do it in until recently, so the goal was always to take number 54 to the welsh mountains. Steve had always planned...
Bit of an interim update inbetween the project thread.
First wash since its been coated with gtechniq before csf. It was not really mucky, more dusty with a few bugs on the front and brake dust all over the front wheels. I didnt even need to contact wash the bodywork, BH snowfoam and rinse was...
