its taken me about six months to get this far, had a bloke phone me today saying he has one. im calling him again tomorrow to arrange payment just wish it could have been a couple of weeks earlier as i think there may be a few renaults at rwyb on sunday after the national day. But hopefully it wont be long before she is in and running.One question what chip shall i have its my 1.8 head going on so hillpower chip or some other?

 

[Adams_16v]

unichip!

 

[Paul16V]

You could probably run it on a standard chip, but hill power could do you one. are they doin the work?

Unichip is better but are like £400

im getting nick to skim the head clean it up fit it to the block then i am going to fit it then need a chip putting in then setting up so i was thinking of getting nick to chip it

 

[scotty 16v]

also i might sound thick as sh*t but is the F7R a 2.0 only they didnt make any other cc did they as my luck has just been totally cack with this

 

[Nick Read]

Yes the F7R was only a 2.0. The F7 is the engine family and the R refers to 2.0 capacity. Following this naming, the 172 engine is an F4R - one of the F4 family of multivalve engines and its a 2.0. P refers to 1.8 hence the 1.8 16v was F7P.

Is there anything you dont know Nick?

 

[cliokongen]

You should get it chipped as soon as possible.... It will be driveable, but not a 100%... (in the high revs!!) Been there done that! And you dont want to ruin your new motor!!! I did .... F7R bottom end, floved and ported head with cams, lightened and blue printed bottom end, totally ruined.. not enough fuel...

i was thinking of either taking it to him on a trailer or if it would work chucking my mate willy ecu on it to drive it there

 

[Ben H]

Yeah, if you use the 16V chip with the 2.0 bottom end the fuelling will be all over the shop. I was going to post my ECU to HillPower to have the chip fitted before firing up what was going to be my 2.0, sniff sniff.

 

[aaronc]

Maybe scott took your bottom end benH lol

 

[weight]

hahahahhaha! would explain a couple of things lol

 

[BenS_172]

Id go with a Unichip, HP chips are famous for Running Lean..

Unless youre into Pinking...

 

[Matbrown]

Haha,

Depends who you listen to!



Mat.

 

[BenS_172]

Or what engine you listen to Matt!

 

[Adams_16v]

iv been running standard ecu with cams, pulleys etc for months! runs spot on!

 

[scotty 16v]

i have my 1.8 ecu with a hill power chip in but i have had a exhaust system since i had that fitted would a better option be to get a willy ecu and get that chipped and sell my 1.8 ecu
