I need some stuff



Jaff.

im building an F7R turbo and i currently need a

map sensor (3 bar i bilieve)
FPR (adjustable or rising rate?)
and a walbro 255 fuel pump

can anyone tell me where the best place to get these is?
and best makes/what to get etc?

cheers

Get a genuine magneti marelli map sensor, it's just not worth the aggro getting a copy.

FPR wise can you not just use a standard setup? the bosch style fitted in the fuel rail on the PH1 172? as it saves a lot of messing around.

ok will look for one of those map sensors.

its going in a megane that was previously a 1.6 so i dont think its up to the job (plus its in the tank)

tbh i could do with a bit of educating when it comes to FPR's as i dont know what im looking for or at. i know what it does and i know how it does it but when it comes to picking one for my car im a bit lost.

for example ive been under the impression for months that the standard FPR isnt good enough for boost

edit:

this the map sensor to do the job?

As long as theres some form of boost reference ( a vac line) on your FPR then it should be fine. I just ran a 3 bar FPR and 630cc injectors.

That MAP sensor is the one I use, I bought mine from BurtonPower just to make sure it was a genuine one.

ill get that map sensor now then.

if the FPR is in the tank then i should imagine theres no way to get a vac line there. and is there a facility for it to accept it?
hence me looking for an adjustable or rising rate one thats reccomended.

inmjectors is another thing i need lol. think i need 550cc
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
there won't be a port for a vac line in the tank so your gonna have to modify your fuel sytem to accept one in the engine bay. Im sure one of the lads over on RTOC used a PH1 fuel rail on his F7R turbo converion, you sure you cant just fit one with the FPR in the rail as it'll save a lot of aggro. Don't waste your time with a rising rate FPR as there generally junk, in fact I have a brand new one that came as part of a Turbo conversion from Ktec you can have LoL

had another look at that map sensor. it says webber marrelli. is this the same? will it work with omex?

i can fit an FPR to the F7R rail yeah but im unsure as to wether the standard one is up to the job. i cant even remember if it has a vac input on it.

my plan was to use a walbro pump in the tank and bypassing the intank reg (i.e take it out) and have a feed to the rail and then have a return to the tank. putting the FPR on the rail somewhere (on the return i guess?)
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Your plan is fine, obviously you'll need a return. I recommend the PH1 rail with the FPR for ease of use, however theres nothing wrong with using a seperate adjustable FPR.

The map sensor will be fine for the omex it comes with the scaling for programming into the ECU.

by ph1 rail you mean a clio ph1?

will it fit on the F7R head? and will it cope with up to 1.3ish bar of boost?

if not what other alternatives are there?

thanks for the help btw, im ordering that Map :)
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
It should cope fine mate, I ran mine at 1.2 without any issues, you'll probably struggle to find an aftermarket fuel rail that will fit easily. I've just had a look on Jenvey's website and theres a couple of renault inlet manifolds, it seems they have a centre line from inlet port to inlet port of 89mm which means the PH1 fuel rail should certainly line up, as I said above one of the RTOC members had one fitted to his F7R. In fact you might be worthwhile joing RTOC as theres a lad with a F7P powered five just pulled 451bhp

here it is

the thing thats putting me off RTOC is the joining cost lol. i think its a bit steep for someone who doesnt own a 5 (which i always assumed was the majority of the owners on there). and i wasnt sure wether it would benefit me that much.

ill have a scan on here for a phase 1 rail and FPR then, if your sure the FPR will be up to the job?

does the walbro 255 have the same fitment for every car?
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
The best thing about RTOC is the joining fee as it keeps all the numpties and trolls out LoL

The thing is the majority of highly tuned renault turbo engines have some dealings with the RTOC and the guys there put together some awesome projects. Whilst people on here ask will a 225 lump go in a clio? and everyone says no, lads over there don't ask anyone they just throw a 225 lump in a renault 5. Your right the majority of the owners have renault fives but theres a few clio turbos over there and quite a few of the fives have engines borrowed from other Renaults ie Scoffs F4R Turbo five, Ashy's F4R turbo five, Matt C's F4RT powered five and theres plenty of F7R/P both turbo and N/A. Theres also plenty of B18 Volvo conversions as well. Theres loads of swithced on lads willing to share and help out, it's not a forum its a proper car club. It holds its own trackdays and santa pod days which as member you get at heavily discounted rates.

Anyway back on topic I'm not sure what the different fitments are across the clio range for fuel pumps, have a look on ktecs web page or scan ebay see whats on offer. Stop worrying about the FPR.

lol ill consider it then... ive been close many times to joining tbh.

i cant help but worry i dont want it running lean and ruining my expensive engine :( lol
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Well if you stick a 255LPH pump in there, its not gonna run lean, mine was happily supplying 374bhps worth of juice via a standard 3bar bosch FPR using 630cc injectors at 75% duration.

As long as your fuel pump can exceed your max injector flow, you will always be able to maintain enough pressure to operate the FPR pressure, which in turn regulates the fuel pressure in the fuel rail. At 300bhp using 550cc injevtors you'll be fine (for the hundreth time ;))

lol if it blows your paying for it :p

where can i get injectors from? high impedance iirc for omex? (could be completley wrong)

if you cant tell the bank card is on fire buying all the stuff i need in one go lol
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Not sure wheres the best place for injectors or what the Omex can drive. I used siemen dekas 630cc (long injectors) last time, bought them of a VW friend. My new 870cc ones are from Injector dynamics in the states.

RStuning sell the short 630cc siemen deka injectors but I'm not sure what sort of prices they are.
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
Cool, looks like im gonna have to hammer google for them then.

thanks for all the help :)
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
so the clio rail fits with regards to injector positions but it wont mount onto the standard head bolt mounts...

is it safe to assume i can make some brackets to fit the clio rail or am i being a bit fick there?
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Thats a bummer, I'm not sure what he did to get it to fit mounting points wise?

Are they far out of alignment?
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
the clio rail has the mounting points more towards the end of the rail where the F7R rail is closer to the middle.

i could probably mount it with some brackets but im unsure wether that would be advisable?
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
I'll have a look for the thread on RTOC and see how they did it. Can't see any problems with making a bracket? As long as it's secure
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
thats my thought too. cheers :) failing that i supose ill have to use the megane rail with bosch injectors and see if i can fit the clio FPR into it
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
yeah but im unsure how good it is...

plus im not sure if i can use the pico injectors on it?
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Grab a pic of it mate and post it up or pm me. If its got a FPR fitted to it then it should work fine. I was under the impression that you had a non return fuel rail similar to what's fitted to a 172/182 and meg 225
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
ok ill see if i can get a pic of both of them now.

edit:

clio on the right, meg on the left...

and the mounts as you can see here...

no but i think it goes through the FPR.

goes in 1 end all the way through the injectors to the FPR then back on itself in another part of it towards the inlet but comes out 3/4 of the way there
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
I'll have to look at the pics on my Laptop when I get home. If it has got a supply, return and vacuum port then there's no reason not to use it. What injectors are normally used with that fuel rail, Siemens, Bosch etc...?
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
bosch i bilieve. i think it has a vaccum port (cant think of anything else the pipe coming off it can be used for)

it deffinitley has a feed an return tho, you cant see it in the pictures as its upside down
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Well your laughing then mate, stick a 3 bar FPR in there and grab a set of bosch injectors. Unless the Siemens dekas fit then you could just stick a set of 630cc's in there and you'll be fuelled all the way to 400bhp+

Just had a read through your project thread, looking good :)
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
is the clio FPR a 3 bar one? because i could fit that in there.

where do i get bosch injectors from? i dont think ill need anything that big atm lol. 530cc should do me for 300?

cheers :) it is my money pit atm lol
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
I think it is a 3 bar mate. I know how you feel about the money spending aspect mines cost a fair few pennies now....... But I'll never get rid of it :)

Regarding injectors, see if you can get a Clio Siemens injector, if it fits I'd just splash out on 630cc Dekas as you'll kick yourself if you buy 530's and need to upgrade them for more power in the future
 

Jaff.

ClioSport Club Member
i might see if i can get the clio fpr into the megane rail then.

lol i love your car, im a big fan of stupid crazy power in little cars, or in any car tbh! hopefully it will be worth every penny!

surely if i get the correct sized o-ring on the top i could get any injector to fit? or are they all diffrent lengths?

how much are the 630's?
 
  Trophy,R26,GSXR1000
Cheers mate, I was at the fabricators on Sat, my tubular manifold is awesome, his workmanship is amazing :D hopefully should get it back soon :evil:

What size injector outlets are in the megane fuel rail? most injectors are interchangeable but untill you stick them in there its hard to say 100%. Id just try a 1*2 injector in there and if it all lines up at least you know the likes of r26 injectors or any siemens dekas will work.

I think RStuning sell 630cc shorty's for £250 ish but you'd have to give him a ring to check.
