Cammed Clio 172 cup track running rich and using oil on track

[D3tailed CC]

Hi guys,

Had my first outing at Goodwood in my new piper cammed Clio 172 cup, car drives spot on and pulls very well.



Throughout the day I did about 140 track miles and used 1 ltr of oil,it's running a rich map and idles a bit high at 1200ish.

Spits out black spots from exhaust, does it sound like it needs a remap? It had £2k spent at 519 automotive late 2013 having a engine refresh when cams were fitted.

Car is the silver cup in the pic.

Thanks guys.

519?

Probably needs a rebuild mate 😞

If a 172/182 is using oil, that's not a good sign.

Yes at 519 automotive, all receipts etc totally over 2kfir the work, only done 16k since rebuild.

It drives spot on and pulls hard as you can see in the video. I didn't know if a less rich map would help.

Map isn't going to fix oil use.

 

[imprezaworks]

thats alot of oil to use

Ok she'll get thrashed till she dies then, then swap cams over to another engine.

There's a reason why 519 is no longer going...

That was the best one when he reused or didn't use all the bolts for a flywheel (can't remember which), and it exited the bellhousing and out the front of the car 😂

compression test and then leakdown test, if they come back ok the look at what map is on it and take it from there.

Bad luck with the issues. I did pop into Goodwood yesterday and saw the two Clios in the pit lane.

Sadly I didn't see you out on track because as I got there the 911 dropped fluid on track which stopped the session. I heard the Cayman and RS following went off as a result - any damage?

Will do thanks ;-)

it was the yellow Cayman that blew and dumped it oil, a Aston n430 also did its top end.

Mine was going a treat just using a bit of oil, compression test and go from there but definitely not down on power....
