if there isnt a pressure reg on the fuel rail it means there is one on the fuel pump instead. so if your R5 doesnt have a reg at the pump you'll need a ph1 rail

oh yeh, forgot about that :quiet: - didn't run it as the oil separator was mis-matched you can still swap bottom ends over though i.e. install a ph2 BE in a ph1 or install a ph1 BE in a ph2

you sure? fairly sure I put a 182 cam cover on a 172 cylinder head

yes, just swap the cam cover and corresponding oil separator plate to match your existing config!

I used a ph1 172 head on the (182?) bottom end I got from you the cam covers are different for different oil separators... heads are interchangeable though...

sorry for the rubbish title :D was browsing dialogys and I noticed this thing on the clutch page #7... FAUX RLT 40-17 £0.73 not seen one before and I dont think i've got one... what is it and is my clutch about to blow up cause i've not got one? :dead:

nice! mine's crying out for a proper intake :dapprove:

Re: My mk1 track car blog he lives :eek:

not much i only briefly tested it as i didnt fancy hitting the limiter when parked :p seems to be around 2.5v... rising to 3ish? I'll try and get a better result once i've wiring in my rev counter :o

pin 65 on the ecu but I can't find any mention of it on the dash wiring also, it's not an on/off signal, the voltage will just change a slight amount :(

i think I have zero chance of getting a mk2 trip computer to work :D I was just curious as to how the information gets to the dash, given that the ecu only seems to be connected to obd (not canbus). I had noticed the R19 trip computers do similar functions, but again need a fuel consumption...

how does the data get from the ecu to the dash?

nice video!

sounds like your linkage was disturbed or damaged when they did the clutch, you can adjust it but its very fiddly

circlip going means one of the sunwheels in the differential can pop out, leaving you with no drive. you can usually tell its the circlip and not the clutch/gearbox as you can select all gears without the use of the clutch but the speedo still rises accordingly unfortunately, once the circlip...

what info have you got Schweppy? I know the pin number but that's about it

I was just wondering how the mk2 trip computer calculates current mpg etc..? obviously it needs to know speed and fuel usage. speed is obtained via the speed sensor in the gearbox (for a ph1) and is fed into the ecu. how is it then transmitted to the dash? I guess the fuel consumption...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project got a nice update for you wrt the fan ;)

it's £158 (inc return carriage) these days

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project gumtree ftw!

I've heard of 'issues' with RSTuning decodes. They seem to require an emulator in addition to the decode. almost as if the ECU will accept any imobiliser code, but it still needs *a* code, if that makes sense? iirc, both geesus and danlp6 had this issue Beanie and I used www.ecuclinic.com and...

where did you get it decoded? few of us now with 172 conversions with no ecu issues :) all you should really need is a constant live, ignition live, fuel pump and starter motor. other than that, double check all the neccessary wiring like the crank position sensor. When mine did this it...

seen those snap before ^^

:/

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project it's semi true the later lumps have fbw throttle - though I'm actually using a 182 lump in mine

:o

differential circlip? does the speedo rise without the car driving and gears are selectable without using the clutch?

the pulley locking tool?

*feels left out*

small bit of progress with the OBD2 all wired in, just can't seem to get the laptop to speak to the ecu :( only result i've had is with vag-coms OBDII test (above) which suggests all systems are go :/ maybe I've got the K and L lines round the wrong way :/
