It was at shakespeare, hopefully will be going again later in the year once I have sorted out the ECU issues. It did run a 13.8 but that was with a turbo and running rough.
Santa Pod is supposed to be quicker now after they relaid their track last year
172 2001,
88k, most service history, just been serviced. belts last done at 45k 2008 so due very soon.
Little bit of carpark damage,
Decat, K-tec Steath, Map
Any idea?
The car has:
Tubular manifold and ss exhaust, decat and a airfilter.
It idles fine but when driving it intermittently looses power, foot to the floor and nothing just it misfiring and bogging down.
We have changed coil pack, leads, plugs, cranksensor so far.
Ideas on what it could be...
As said above, phone up get settlement figure before you do anything.
Depending on their terms and conditions it may not actually be that bad.
Secondly if you girlfriend cant hack a 5 year deal this time, how is she going to cope again? £200 a month for a car is nothing really by paying less...
Thanks Dan,
I wanted to check what I thought it might be, I didnt have much mechanical knowledge until about 8 weeks ago when I set about swapping the system over so am still very green. Didnt want to be missing something blindingly obvious.
from what I can see the vac hose looks fine, i am going to take a few bits off tomorrow afternoon to get a better look and look for small leaks/holes.
Had a issue with wastegate yesterday where it jammed fully open. loosened off the down pipe and it free'd up and moves fine again with the...
It was a setup that was on another clio and dropped onto mine. Worked fine in the other car...
ECU is a mapped standard one by ktec,
Its a LPT kit from ktec few years ago,
Boost control is a vac acutator linked to the compressor housing.
I know the ecu isnt the greatest but i cant see how this...
Having some problems with my 172 cup turbo.
Giving it stick from stationary, through the gears up to 5th the boost is fine, runs and pulls very well. Boosts to 10psi....
Lift off, slow down, accelerate from 3rd and it boosts to 14psi, engine misfires and sounds awful.....
Slow down to 20mph...
I have used this with mixed results. It is by no means as shiny as it shows on the car. I had a sheet of carbon and put it next to this and it probably is the best imitation I have seen.
However, it doesn't seem to wrap very well. It looked great when my mirrors were first wrapped but it is...
I cant make this week, not even looked at the clio for the past week, so unless the fairies have sorted the boost issue then it wont be worth bringing it out and I am not rocking up to a cliosport meet in a dirty diesel corsa.
I didnt think there was a need to change the key blade, so it would still work.
Also yes it is a cheaper option and yes more likely to fail but doing the maths here, if it costs £100 for the second hand parts and it costs 280-340 for a new one. You can change it 3 times before it becomes more...
Brought a clio turbo 2 months ago. Pulled all the bits I wanted off it and put it in mine.
It came with a standard ecu that had been mapped by ktec. Plugged it all in and it worked fine although the boost gauge showed it at 15psi. Used a rstuner to reset all the fault codes and then the fun...
I brought a car recently and one of the issues was the standard headunit not fitting well and needing a code.
I t now fits perfectly, code is sorted and it all works, EXCEPT when i turn the ignition off it requests the code again.
I have narrowed it down to a missing wire on the plug that goes...
