225 powered mk2
I’ve got a project thread on here but I haven’t updated it in years, quite embrassing as it started as a mess and it had all airbrushing under the bonnet, I will update it as it looks different now, however on the way back from trax mine started breathing really heavy and smoking a lot so now it’s time to investigate.
After our chat at trax I think I’m gonna go 6 speed box.
Keep your updates coming such a great Van!

Drilled & tapped the diff in situ for the renfort plate today. Not too bad a job with the small sealey drill i borrowed, new drill bit went through it like a knife going through butter. Had rags stuffed in the box to keep the swarf from falling in and will flush oil through. Will fit plate tomorrow & put it back together and see whats what, fingers crossed box is ok.

Job done and running again. Only done a short run in it to the gym the other night but it seemed ok. Will take it for a decent flog out soon and see how it holds together ! Needs a clean badly front wheels are black with brake dust after Croft.
In other news i give my omp helmet a makeover with some of the circuits i have driven over the years.
Also got my new work van on Friday. 12miles on the clock never drove anything with so low mileage. Limited to 62mph sadly lol swb with dab radio, a/c etc not a bad little van from initial drive.
Thanks for reading !

Got a couple of jobs done last Sat
First up was vvt sensor seal, noticed this leaking before Croft. 15 min job dead easy, changed map sensor o rings as had gone very flat/loose
Next up was gear oil, drained into a container then filtered to see if any contamination/swarf after fitting the renfort. Looked good so filled up with Elf NFJ 75/80
Changed drivers side front bump stop/shock cover. I noticed this was knackered after Croft, i think this was damaged after riding the rh kerb at the ump at Blyton at the csfestival. The occasional rub on full compression has now gone.
Lastly give it a blast up to Croft as there was another trackday on. All spaces taken so sadly did not get on. Typically ive cured all the minor issues and now winter is here so prob no track action until next year.
Still love the look on white 2118s when clean
Also picked up the track wheels for the 225 in it the other day..comes in handy as a van occasionally?

What o ring sizes did you use on the map sensor mate?

Good question mate, i just went through until one fitted tight out of a selection from an o ring kit i have. It was a bit loose on map sensor initially but nipped up tight when map sensor is fitted. s**t design ot be fair, i see some aftermarked map sensors have a rubber sleeve on instead of the 2 o rings. The inner o ring does nothing either just pops through
Such a s**t design! Both my o rings look fine now after swapping from another map sensor but it's still loose. Might see if I can 3d print a bracket similar to on the 197/200.
Or I'll wrap it in PTFE ?
Vans looking ace mate, 2118s are the best

Update
Had a slight misfire recently which developed into a full on 3 cylinder offbeat running issue ! Quick scan with clip & checked resistance of injectors indicated cylinder 4 injector had indeed went open circuit. A few faults logged?
@Austin-182 kindly give me his old injectors so stuck one in to get me away. 15mins to fit dead easy, fired up and back on 4 cylinders but idle was hunting all over the shop. Checked for air leaks (none) so let engine warm up and eventually settled down.
Got clip back on and reinitialized the computer resetting throttle potetiometer settings, resetting the idle opening cyclic ratio and resetting the adaptive fuel correction to 128. Done the road test passing through pressure zones as instructed in the workshop manual for several miles. After that i noted the engine was running excellent, nice stable idle, sharp throttle response again.
The following day put £40 of Tesco momentum 99 in for a trip to Derby to pick up some wheels the mrs has bought for her megane.
Performed faultlessly 40.8mpg with mixed driving approx 250 mile round trip, national speed limits due to smart cameras on a1m so just sitting on the speed limit.
On return home still had 73 miles on range. Eml had come on due to decat - downstream lambda out of range.
18x8 technomagnesio 201b in the back
Had a bit of running about to do so its earned its keep this week. Dropped off the 18" turinis off the megane for refurb and new PS4 to be fitted.
Picked up an r26 beam and other meg bits including bottom end.
Back quite low with gear in

After 400 or so miles was looking quite weathered with road muck.
Snowfoamed & cleaned with Autofinesse products & 2 bucket wash. Too cold to apply any additional qd to finish but clean again.
Rear swept out
38.2 mpg avearge mixed driving over approx 400miles. Awesome for 2.0
Clip back out for scan & cleared.
Currently have a 90deg lambda spacer on downstream, might remove lambda and bung the downstream sensor to stop it coming on, as been on a few times recently. Need to check out the df002 as keeps appearing, i guess its wiring issues or tb/pedal on its way. Not had any issues with throttle though but cant be arsed with another breakdown !

Do you use a genuine Clip?
Seems everyone is having hunting/misfire problems recently!

Mine is a full chip clone clip. Works great not had any issues. Idle was all over the place on initial startup but no air leaks or nothing. It eventually settled to a degree, but after reinitializing the settings its been spot on. After any work on the fuel system or throttle its worth resetting it and getting it to learn, makes throttle response sharper etc.
Do you have a link?

Good to see your sorted mate. Im getting 32mpg so i think something else needs sorting too!

No Kangoo updates however have been working on my Extra van, a few of you may remember it from when ive had it on track at the CS festivals a couple of years back.
To cut a long story short the engine was getting a little bit tired a couple of years ago so took it off the road. Started converting to efi from carb a year or so ago and did not get very far/had other cars that seem to need constant repairs so not touched it in ages. This is my first play about with standalone ecu & diy efi.
Last week done fuel hoses and attempted start up which did not go too well, attempted fire up but battery shot & spark plug change was needed to resistor type plugs
Fast forward to yesterday & Boxing day attempt at fire up.
Armed myself with new Ngk BCR8ES plugs, new Exide 063 battery & 20ltrs of Tesco's finest 99 octane. Loaded a good base map on, turned key & fired up first turn to a steady idle. Needs some fine tuning but nice to hear it run after all this time.
Vid below, select 480p as youtube is selecting very low qualiy for some reason.
Next step is to pull the engine out and get new lump built, bit of recomissioning and hopefully back on the road April/May in the new year if all goes well.

A bit of fault finding today, found a loose connection on the earth wire for the crank sensor, fixed that and fitted a new genuine ford zetec sensor. I had a feeling it was ign related the other day, it revs great now although a little bit lean. Not messing about with map yet, will change fuel pump and revisit. Its drivable now though.
Altered transient throttle to use map prediction as per @DaveL485 's advice which made it rev cleaner also added a little bit of fuel across the range with the master trim. Just playing about cant really hurt the current engine much as its pretty knackered, needs to run right for the fresh engine though.
Wiring 90% done, just need to connect afr controller to ecu (need to find my 2.5mm jack lead as using the w/b output on my gauge) and wire up mac valve.
Ecu stealth mounted in fusebox cover
Stuck bonnet back on and give it a blast off with the lance, snowfoam and pressure rinse. Ran out of light so stopped at that, its come up clean for its first wash in ages with no contact.
A couple of vids
Startup, it fires up first time every time now got to love efi. Im used to this needing a s**t load of cranking on carb to fire up.
Select 480p or higher as youtube is poo now and downgrades quality massively
Revs clean. A bit lean when on and off the throttle will revisit with new fuel pump. Map may need adjusting but will hang fire for now.
More to come in the next few weeks ! Thanks for reading.

Cheers mate?
Not done much more over the hols as been giving the mancave a clean up & paint. Just need to shift some spares to my other lockup then its engine building time.
All the cars out for the first time in years
1 question. Did you buy circlip fix from gt performance? Does that thing go on existing oem circlip or without it?
Brigsy
ClioSport Club Member
T.Turbo
I did indeed buy the renfort from gt performance via ebay. The circlip does not fit with the plate on, you need the spacer ring though.

Small update on the Extra - wired in the lc-1 to the ecu on Sunday and refitted the dash cowlings. Give the interior a decent clean, first time in years, still in decent nick.
Just waiting for my engine stand to be returned then i can get the new engine stripped. Might even make CS Festival yet !

Small updates
Engine on engine stand and part stripped. Just waiting for payday as usual? got a few tasty parts in stock though ready for rebuild.
Kangoo mot last week, went through no bother. Been using it for daily driver and going well, 35mpg all the time. Heater is absolutely scorching in this cold weather its epic.
Still keep thinking about throttle bodies or turbo but must get the Extra done first ! Thanks for reading
