I'm trying to get some, the garage said they might be able to get them from the local Renault garage as they've done that a few times before. The lad working on it is an ex Renault Sport guy, he's worked on the Williams, 1*2 and in Sweden on the V6s.

Its 2 years old. Metal case, plug is good but it needs wiring it to the standard loom.

Andrew at ALD. There's a thread in the group buy section :)

What's an EC1 ECU worth with loom and CAN controller?

How much are these parts worth? 182 EC1 ECU with Can controller and loom Ph1 cable throttle conversion Ph1 twin barrel cat Ph1 driveshafts (both sides) with CVs

Yes I will do tomorrow. I'm starting to think it'll be more hassle than its worth. I need to stop messing around and get it out on track. I'll give Paul and Catcams a call though to find out the details.

Title is 422, and the first question refers to them. Then I asked a second question if the answer of the first question was no.

Yes they would be better, however its even more cost on pistons and a rebore. Honda VTEC engine run a similar compression ratio and they cope fine with high rpm lairy cams. Granted the dynamic CR will be reduced though. Tbf the catcams 422 are still not that lairy, but are about as far as I'd...

I'm not sure they'd need much. I'll give catcams a call on Monday. They were very helpful and spot on with info when I did a ST170

I've been looking at the Gen90 as the plug and play is appealing I could get the engine place by me to do bigger valve cutouts in the standard pistons for the 422s if required I can't find any dyno data for them to compare with other cams though.

No on other engines. If its pointless I'll leave them.

Obviously some high CR pistons would be nice to make the most of them but will they work with the standard items without the valves touching? If not, how much better are the 421 over the Pipers?

Yeah. I was just looking at replacing the springs whilst they were out, might avoid a dropped valve in the long run. I've had a couple of springs go in the past

PEC. I haven't ordered yet though. I can give you a ring on Monday. Do you do the valve springs too?

Works out at £21 per valve. I'm contemplating some bigger cams, maybe 422 or 423. Does anyone know if they clear the pistons or do they need cutouts?

Then it'll be ready for ITBs and plenty of track abuse ;)

Well its getting a port and polish, Supertech valves, new guides, new seals and Catcams valve springs

Are they prone to wear?

Sending the head off on Monday for a port and polish and some new valve stem seals. The engine runs very well and is on 87k so is it worth doing the guides for an extra £200 (I'm not even sure they need doing) or just get the seals done?

Nice socks! PMS kit looks good too.

Re: Ph1 172 Head off and bottom end looks mint! TBH I'm not even 100% it was even the head gasket leaking. Oh well its off now so get the head freshened up, bolt it all up and crack on with the rest. Shame I'm going to miss the track day, only way I can make it is if I don't go ahead with the...

Re: Ph1 172 I guess so. I'm worried about finding the pistons rings and bearing shells needing doing too when its all in bits. Yeah mine isn't mint enough for me to worry about binning it

Fair play! We've got a D90 and a few lenses but don't know anywhere near enough about how to use it or edit photos :o

Re: Ph1 172 I'm 50/50 at the moment. Could break it and get a minter off here and have some change! Oh I don't know...:(

Re: Ph1 172 No, got a couple of guys interested in the DTA ECU and still got the intercooler, boost pipes, rad, inlet and some small bits to shift. I'm considering breaking it right now whilst it's all in bits...

Re: Ph1 172 Yes, I couldn't at the time. I can now though :( ffs Going to miss the trackday on the 23rd too, at least it won't be rushed though

Re: Ph1 172 Went to the garage again with the ARP bolts and gaskets and my mate pointed out that oil is leaking from the back of the engine from the headgasket. I give up now, wish I'd never bought the stupid car.

For good prices my friend is a Poorboys distributer :) www.waxmonkey.co.uk

For the money you can't complain. Does a decent job. I've got the black hole, professional polish, Natty's paste wax and QD+ with carnuba

They won't be anything special. Generic twin tube damper and adjustable spring platform
