Re: Coco - Camo Ph1 soon to be ITB & Cammed
Well its been a while since i collected the car from clioturbo.co.uk so thought i should do a proper right up.
How she went full of all the bits and pieces required (Cams, ITB's, Cup alt setup, rad and other bits)
All dropped off at Andy Greer's, whilst i went to Ibiza for a week
Got a few messages from Andy asking about who had previously done the timing belt as it was not timed up correctly, however that could of been due to the dephaser as i had known that it needed replacing.
Also purchased a second hand alternator setup with pipes however the alternator had seen better days, so i purchased another through Andy the gentlemen.
I then received these pictures and the video from Andy whilst in the airport departure lounge in Ibiza.
A friend gave me a lift through to collect the car on the night.
Andy had done a really good job, in fitting everything as the actual throttle bodies are not for a Clio 172 (F4R), however these particular ITB's have been previously fitted to Korky and Jon R's ph1's.
How i collected her after a week away from one another.
There has been some small issues that had to be sorted out but Andy has been awesome in helping me rectify them. The problems were that the speedo did not work but that just needed a new speedo drive. Whilst i was away he asked if i wanted pops and bangs mapped to the car at EFI which i stupidly agreed to.
I Hate them!!!!
However as the car is running adaptronic Andy just uploaded the map that had no bangs on which has in my eyes transformed the car for when i drive through towns and villages. Don't scare school kids on the way to school in the morning, she does still pop etr however only when giving her a bit of grief.
Full economy has improved massively as well.

I would like to say a huge thanks to Andy Greer at Clioturbo for all his help after the work he has carried out on my car. His input and dedication to Renault cars is visible and the face he is willing to help you when he can is a god send.
Thank you to Chris at EFI for balancing and mapping the car. it drives so well in all gears and has no problems with cold starts, just starts to get a bit hot when stood in traffic however the radiator which i purchased is not good and i plan to invest in a custom alloy one soon.
Now i had a few things to carry out myself.
Removed the rest of the aircon and fitted a cup fan blower, the A/C parts weigh so much when i compared it to the cup items.
Cut a numberplate to fit the gap and jobs a gooden, will get a ph1 non ac clio bulkhead cover when i get time to go to the local scrappy.
I had to make a filter for each of the throttle bodies as the injectors are in front of the butterfly valve not behind, they literally only just fit under the bonnet.
So decided to use the same method adopted in my mates Almeria GTI's (Nissan Factory Standard) and its worked a trick, only cost me £2's.
Involved 1 of these.
And a bike inner tube.
Me and my friend made rubber gaskets with the inner tubes and cut the metal sieve to size to make metal filters to stop all the naughties getting in.
Half way through, brew time.
I have been tidying all the wires up in the bay and mounting everything correctly and it looks so much better.
Thats how she stands at the moment, also got the Speedline Corse fitted and finally can show off the lovely willwoods.
Thanks for looking.
Here are some pictures.
