Thanks very - so I assume better oil pressure and that a tolerance of 0.075 is ok for a competition engine. Is the 197 closer to a R3 spec as such the tolerance is mid range?

Thanks for everyone’s comments. Is there a difference in oil pressure / oil way design between the 1*2 and the 197 engines? I’m running a 197 unit in my 182, never ran an oil pressure gauge just a higher rated warning switch - never had any issues in 8 years of rallying - just been lucky? Thanks

Thanks, I’m just at the upper limit, just under 3 thousands of inch in old money.

Just checking over my competition engine, what tolerance would you expect to see in the main bearings to crank? Thanks

Hi, any one got this kit, not as yet fitted? Looking to use the sub axle for a different conversion - like to get some measurements. Thanks

Reading on here I understand that the 182 Cup stub axles have a thicker base on them to widen the track. My car has been modified so not sure which I have, the base plate is about 19mm thick, are these the std or 182 cup ones? Are there just two sizes? Needs to get some new ones, bent both...

Thanks - where you, occasionally travel for work?

Help please - I've bent my front suspension sub frame on my 182 Cup rally car - it fly's well but not so good at landing ? Is there any difference on the sub frames between, 172 - 182 and the cup variants? In fact are they different to any Clio? Seen 1.2 sub frames being sold by Renault...

Hi anyone know what the outer CV boot is off on the Clio 3 racer. I understand the Sadev shafts / joints are actually made by GKN motorsport division but just trying to find out what the boots are off, can't imagine they are specials must be some van or 4 x 4. They are 90 and 28mm diameter. Thanks

thanks will have a play see what happens.

thanks just look - i have 3rd party and advertisers ticked? other two options always or never - which should it be? thanks

no not cleared history - don't know how to :-)

wont make a joke about just eaten one but Ive no idea if i have, is this a setting on the phone or just agreeing to them when i log on?

Ok as in title not great with IT, can any advise why my Cliosport login ID is not being save by my IPhone 4 anymore? Having to login with username / password every time, I've ticked the save loggin box? Thanks

All sorted I think, one of the fan actuator wires which are not used was cross to earth, so when fan on feeding back. Thanks

Hi Sam - tested voltage across battery and no noticeable voltage drop with or without switch on, plugged or unplugged motor. Cheers

Hi, don't think I have measured this, will try to have a look tonight. For the next event a roof vent is being installed. Cheers

hi Sam Ran a supply direct from battery and a dedicated earth, and just the same, works with fan connected but not turned on, turn fan on (setting 1 ,2 or 3) and voltage jumps to 12v. If the fan is disconnected and then turned on jumps to 8v on setting 1 and 11v on 2 and 3 speed settings. Cheers

Done a bit more testing, even more confused. Right with the internal fan switch off the 12v to 5v converter gives a 5v supply, with the fan switch off but fan itself unplugged it gives a 11v output. With the fan still unplugged but internal switch on any setting get 12v instead of 5v. Any...

Any thoughts on an unusual electrical fault on my Clio Rally car. Well unusual to me, might be something very simple. Problem - Car is running a sequential box with custom built digital gear display. The Sadev gear position switch and gear position display work on 5v supply. They are fed from...

I've got a Golf GTi one to suit ITBs, found it to be good quality. Had to bid on several to get one at right price.

Hi - thanks but no I didn't get your email, but all sorted now, running APs but with a few mods to the peddle box and mounting brackets. First event still some time off, lots of little jobs to do. thanks all for your comments, it makes you smile when you drive it.

Hi not one for posting threads but few people on here have been very helpful while I very slowly built my new rally car, never had a Clio before this, so I thought I would just post a few bits of info and a pic to prove the engine does fit in :-) The car is a 182 Cup fitted with a tweaked 197...

yea OK - I know that but wasn't sure if the Sadev box was the same length as the Clio 197 box but good look with the build.

sorry Chip forgot to say as part of the new engine mount, I did have to cut some of the old one off, but not cutting the leg.

Hi Chip - yea I've put in a 197 without having to cut the leg, I am using the sadev box though so not sure if its any shorter, will measure it if you want. I used the Pure Motorsport pulley's as they are much narrower (4px) rather than the standard 197 being 7 or 8, which gives about 5 to 8mm...

Ok will do, will be a while lots of jobs to finish and don't get a lot of spare time these days.

It was an easy decision on the size of ITB's - the ones i had on a self in the garage :) Engine as steel rod and pistons upgrade and a set of cat cams, everything else standard. Will see how competitive it is before considering any further upgrades. cheers

Thanks all, think i understand it a lot better - ive got the engine started in basic mode so i can run the engine in, will do the rest of the wiring and book it in to the rolling rd to get the sequential injection, dephaser and flat shift set up. No idea on HP at mo. The ITBs are 48's, i do...

Pic of engine bay, sorry don't know how to insert a bigger picture - happy to share my build experiences if you need any? Can you tell me more why the dephaser needs a cam input so i can try o explain it to someone else, I have a map from DTA (from their French partner)and as far as i can...
