DCI's look inside !!

[glenn_adam_doble]

Ah right does it effect the life of the pump, also the main thing fuel economy ?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

fuel economy i cant really see a drop tbh, and it'll put a little more stress on the pump.
baring in mine iv only cranked it up about 4psi +/-

smoke out back is a little more black due to no egr valve and when cold seems to chuck more out. still cannot figure out why it hasnt flagged up the EML with no EGR connected....

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Did you blank the EGR off with a metal plate?

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Fair enough I might give it ago see what happens,

As for egr blanking for my dads jeep we just used abit of biscuit tin, in place of the gasket, very pikey fix but it has worked a charm no problems at all

I actually make blanking plates but have yet to do one for a clio, If someone sent me a template i can easily laser cut it.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

How do you prefer a template dxf file ?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

How do you prefer a template dxf file ?

DXF is fine but i don't have cad on my home pc, If you can send a file that is compatible for adobe reader that would be great

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Will a PDF do then ?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Perfect! My email is: cotballhd@hotmail.co.uk

mines currently blanked off with a peice of tin but i can get a template size your you?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

is the mk2 different size to the mk3 ?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

If you get me a template that would be great, let me know when you have one and I will pick it up. We make them for just about every car but a Clio! I'm guessing the mk2 and 3 will be different.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

ok dan , i'll get one made up for the mk2 ( template ) glen, you get a template made forp the mk3

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Ste, are mk2 EGR valves a different diameter to a mk3 ?

 

[TonkaTruck]

Pretty sure they are exactly the same, but don't quote me on that.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Is there a guide on DCI.net for mk3 valves? I knw the mk2 size already

 

[TonkaTruck]

No, I just looked at the part number for the MK2 and MK3.
They look exactly the same.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

No, I just looked at the part number for the MK2 and MK3.
They look exactly the same.

Once I get the template and get them made up I will send a few out to people with mk2 and 3 so they can test them

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

You got the part numbers? Will have a look on the Renault parts catalogue database

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

I'll rip the valve out tommorow so you can make a plate from it . More accurate than me trying to make a sodding template haha

 

[TonkaTruck]

MK2: 8200 004 883
MK3: 8200 656 008

Haha should be, will just need it for a few hours to get some measurements.

 

[TonkaTruck]

Not sure if it's much help lads: http://www.cliodci.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1139&hilit=clio+egr+blanking

Take it aslong as you need it. I have it unplugged ATM anyway. Nothing flagged up yet on the dash

Just let me know when it's ready and I'll pop over and get it

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Might have a slight problem. Looking at that guide on DCI.net it looks like everything has to come off for it. Including valve housing.... :/ need to have a better look into this so nothing goes tits up

Lol,

If it's a nightmare don't bother, I can probably get a EGR from someone breaking a dci

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Nooo it's not hard to get the valve off,had it out already. 3 bolts wonder

Just on DCI.net people are on about taking the whole thing off completely, basicly deleting the EGR pipe work and re ruining it straight to the mani.

Cant see why a blank plate won't work.... I'll take it off tommorow and drop you a PM on fb when it's ready

Nice one mate, I'm sure we could develop a complete EGR removal kit, I already do one with blanking pipes, plates and bolts etc for an L200 so I can't imagine a Clio would be much different. I will get the plates done first and then go from there.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Yeah prototype the valve blank plates idea first then go more in depth depending on the engines response to it all

 

[Liamm]

I'll be down at Donington around half 7. What time is everyone else getting there? Am I waiting by the gate or looking for a giant flag? lol

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

yeah gary, me and tonka will be going early'sh aswell. arangments need to follow suit ASAP as the flag cant be done in time and parking out front of the gate has been one of the main idea's mainly

 

[Owen_m]

Whats the plan for fcs?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

All create a sut cloud jokes. I will fb ste tonight and get the finall go ahead idea

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

who's going CSS then? !!!!

I am bud

 

[tameracingdriver]

I've got one of these as a courtesy car - truth be told, couldn't tell you which model, probably a 65 would be my guess, but I have to say an 80 or 100 with a remap would be a fun little car, they still seem to handle pretty well even after jumping out of my RS, and a remapped one would have a decent amount of torque to shove it along, heck even the one I had, while not quick, was adequate even for motorway work.

Sometimes I wonder, yes the RS is a much better drivers car overall due to many factors, but I can see the appeal (cheap insurance, tax, high MPG, and still not too slow and with decent handling)... god I'm getting old, I think I need to wash my mouth out with soap!

nice one dude me and ste should be coming. in seperate cars is debatable yet....

good little cars these are, and yes very true, remapped 80's and 100's are epic fun. even the 65's respond well with a few mods.

handle'n wise, the 100's are nowt much different to the ph2 172. many have been modified with 172 wide track conversions, and with the dCi lump up front to lugg it allong , they are a perfect match.

hi all, other than Owen-m. who else will be attending CSS this year?

also sorry for the shamble of an organised group at FCS, altho most of us managed to get in the general area together

I will hopefully be going. Just gotta get my ticket.
Be rude not too, seeing as it's only about 5 miles up the road!
