Soooo ive just got back from efi, Chris has said he is almost cerain that the timing has slipped, everything on the map looks fine and he has adjusted the fuel trims on the ecu so it runs better and stops overfuelling so bad until il i get it timed up.
Anyway Chris has a friend that used to work for rs tuning and also himself that has set up his own business in Wakefield, about 15 minutes from me, he said he is very good with a spanner and knows renaults inside out, has timing tools obvs etc.
Chris did offer to time it up for me but because it was running late he said i would have to leave it with him, which i would have done if i wasn't t almost a hundred miles away 😧
So Chris rung his friend up for me and he has booked me in with him on Saturday for it timed back up, and he knows the adaptronic inside out so he can re adjust the fuel trims to how they were, this is simple enough anyway.
So the car should be up and running again on Saturday, thank fook!
Thanks everyone and especially a big thanks to Chris at efi parts for his great customer service, he really is a top bloke!
Cheers mate, Tom.
Awesome news tom. Made up.
Glad it will be up and running. Again for you! Chris is spot on he spent over 4 hours fine tuning my car when I had it remapped! Did you get peckish and dig into his crisp box? [emoji12]

Thanks Dan love you x
I hear that alot
Yes im going to post up his details and tell him about this site if he doesnt already know.That's good news Tom. Also good to hear we have another renault specialist close by. Maybe you can post some details about him when you've been on Saturday?
And the price can go back up[emoji1] [emoji1]Bet your made up. Be like new car again.
Probably poor workmanship lol.At least it'll be sorted mate. What causes the timing to slip though?
Yeah the megane's crank pulley is keyed iirc.Probably poor workmanship lol.
Chris said it could be a stretched bolt, or something about the pulley or something, the clios arnt locked in place but the meganes are, good mechanics would use a megane one on a turbo build.
Yea i was worried when Chris said the timing had slipped, i asked him if there would be any damage, he said no you would know about it If it had any damage and it probably wouldnt even start.Yeah the megane's crank pulley is keyed iirc.
Well at least it's not slipped far enough to bend things, although annoying non the less
Not an expert, but thought the keyed pulley was an essential to a turbo build?Probably poor workmanship lol.

Im not sure mate, probably, another fault that can go on my clioturbo.co.uk fault list lol.Not an expert, but thought the keyed pulley was an essential to a turbo build?
Yes should be keyed on turbo and supercharged although it may be the exhaust pulley or the inlet. The nut and bolt should only be used once and the surfaces degreased and torqued to spec as you properly already know.Not an expert, but thought the keyed pulley was an essential to a turbo build?

It was the bottom pulley that slipped mate causing the timing to be 15 degrees out.I hope you've now got it sorted but are they really known for skipping the belts ?
I'm not clued up on them though so hope it turns out to be your problem and your boosting away in no time

Keep it!
Dont think so mate, overboost is his company name, its only been running a month or so iirc. Bloke will probably know him he used to work for rs tuning and efi parts, hes the guy off here that built the rear vr6 engined clio.Overboost as in the member on here?
I think it's the other overboost, not the one that posts sometimes but the one who has the engine swapped mk1 IIRC?Overboost as in the member on here?
Definitely on here! One of his friends gave him my number when I was looking for someone to do my belts. I lost his number though when he text me as my phone fucked itself, so wasn't able to reply.. His car looked sweet though.Dont think so mate, overboost is his company name, its only been running a month or so iirc.
