Re: My mk1 track car blog how are you planning to rig up the rev counter and coolant gauge?

Re: My mk1 track car blog ask on c16v - couple lads breaking valvers over there what's the rundown on your electrics in the end? what gauges have you gotten working? ecu fine? (number?)

Re: My mk1 track car blog get the brakes sorted and tell me if its fast or not! :dapprove:

cool, out it comes! :D my loom is a ph1 loom, but must be from a later ph1

Am I right in thinking the downstream lambda is only required to test if the cat is working correctly? It has no bearing on fueling or anything else? (on a ph1 172)

very nice! :D these RS days look good!

Spotted along the m56 today "on tow" in the window, being pulled by a fiat

might look like a couple of pandas have stolen your car

clutch changes aren't bad on them...(and they'd be almost the same as doing an RSi clutch) steering racks don't usually break; play in the steering is usually caused by the column and can be welded up for £not much Valver's share the same track with all 'lower' clios - only the williams was...

the internet means I can talk to people in different counties :eek:

he apparently goes brapping passed my mates house quite often antisocial. ;)

ah ofc, I remember reading your thread :D I need that gearbox in my life :dapprove:

they're all crap compared to 449 ;)

odd project :o... why? in that case the mk2 gauge gets its signal from the ecu, not sure if its the same readings as the sendor itself gives if you have 1 wire from the gauge that is the signal wire, a good way to check it just ground it and see if the gauge shoots up to max

just to add, the resistance reading from the mk1 unit seems to be within tolerance of the quotes mk2 figures, so it could be viable? the 2 pins on the mk1 sensor do the coolant warning light and the analog gauge... the sensor earths itself, so no need for an earth wire (but also means you can't...

my mate happened to show me a photo of 'a clio' (as he knows I kinda like 'em) Dutty_112?

the temperature sender has 3 wires, a black (earth, via the ecu), white and cream the white gives the resistance reading but it goes straight to the ecu. The cream wire goes to the plug and it *I assume* operates a coolant warning light? though I'm not sure if it helps, I'm running a 172...

new plan: attach the mk1 sensor here! :D plan is to braise a suitable nut onto thermostat housing and then drill a hole through... sorted? kinda like how you can attach a lambda to an exhaust pipe

when wired up to the coilpack normally, it reads half? have you connected both signal wires to the rev counter? I've not been able to test mine cause my engine is still MIA :(

why are rsi skirts longer? :S

not sure if the diodes work... but the multimeter suggests it *should* work used some N4004 diodes - can get them from maplin but, re: the temp gauge... it works.. but it will be wrong, as the ECU sends voltage over it as well... I'm looking in to plumbing in the mk1 coolant temp sensor to...

cheers :)

...thinking about it, I've gone and added 12v to the white wire from the ecu to the coolant sensor... this must be throwing off the ECU for the resistance reading from the sensor?

such a wealth of knowlege :D Got the 12v constant on both relays and both the ecu signal wires are 12V with the ignition on (temp sensor removed) - both outputs are 0v though nothing with the ignition off either *sigh* fix one thing break another! :D

was just gonna say something about the fan I removed all the loom before realised I'd forgotten to test the fan! so I've just plugged it all back in again and now I get no voltage to the fan... which means it wont be on... which is good In theory, if i bridge the white and black wires from the...

did some more work on the loom today got my rev counter wired in - no pics of the mods, it was just a couple of (badly) soldered diodes :D and got my coolant gauge working! :D I spliced into the white signal wire as Beanie suggested, but it turns out the problem was either the sensor or the...

ye, a lovely light mk1 shell :D

my 172 is under 1 ton with a full interior ;)

it's an N plater ;) Eckascliovalver, what was your old valvers reg? (last 3 letters)

got your msn message mate :) Think in the end Dan ran on standard management, but k-tech group n as it has no imobiliser...
