Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Inaccuraccy could also be a fooked speedo cable...wheelspin sending the speedo cable out slightly....and more probably?
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yes im aware of the other cars ;) dreaming, its maths....want the data haha?
Its going to be high 13's - 14.odd in real life situation, dependant on the day, start, car, driver etc!
We all know about the F7R ITB'd lot over on C16V moaning at F4R's are...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
It works out as 13.1 qtr with some clever maths from Matteh, As i had only travelled 319 meters when I hit 160kmh. I crossed the 402 meters (qtr mile) at 171kmh.
Im obviously not like some on here that will say oh yeah my cars done this, because obv it...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Did some data logging on my way out before, to work out 0-100mph times and other stuff......graphs + data coming soon :D
Done some proper speedo videos too first thing today....uploading atm.
no idea on the plip, i just know the immobiliser only needs the key (with chip inside), decoder ring, UCH and ecu.
one wire from decoder to uch.......one wire from uch to ecu.
key has to be from the same car as the uch and maybe decoder for it all to work, or you need renault to code it IIRC.
UCH waits for a signal from the decoder ring round the barrel
then the uch sends out a signal to pin 58 of the ecu
which lets the car/ecu kick in and start
I had the guy that owns the carlton in one of the videos message me on youtube, asking for a copy of the original footage from where I was behind him....
...what I didnt understand was my passenger was taking the piss out of his car, and he still wanted the footage lol...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Quick blast, spins far to easily....i take it upto about 65ish jellybeans in 2nd, letting off the throttle half way through to try and stop it spinning, then on in 3rd and change into 4th and past 100 jellybeans....
Crap video but there you go :rasp...

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
my 172 ECU had a 1.4 8v map on it...didnt realise until we tried to find out why the rev limiter was so low...
Ive only just managed to get it running on a 172 based map...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Yeah......well the pad thing its onto seems like its part of the backing, and the tracks just join to it (its silver, not copper)...seemed to solder better to it...
There is nothing touching it, the board technically 'hovers' in the casing....the wire is...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Its got the RSTuner group N file on it atm IIRC....what should the limiter be at, 7500?
7200 is standard correct?
If all is ok *touches wood* il get a few vids later
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
haha!
Well i technically soldered it to the track still, not the ECU immob unit itself ;) but yeah, ok you were right :rasp:
Ive not driven it yet, but I can tell already the map is different to before, startup and idle are different for certain....
Will...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
meh!!!
richy....its soldered and taped part way down the wire to hold it in place. it seems a pretty strong joint, alot stronger than the track attempt. is there anything i can put over the soldered part to strengthen it? sealer/glue etc?!
JB, yeah...
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
read back, i said i didnt want to risk it lol....so i ended up risking it as i was bored of waiting and it worked lol
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Well it dosent matter, i just fixed it somehow LOL
I risked what richy22 suggested (didnt really want to) and soldered it to one of the testing points, then taped it into place....
Plugged it in, and boom......first time :)
