Bought our first house together 3 months ago so the engine has been put on the back burner... All the parts are here, cleaned up, head is built, block painted etc. Just needs balancing then building up!

This thread is dangerous. What's worse, now I've posted in it, I'm subscribed to it.

Sounds good buddy, hope everything's going well!
Haha boost is dangerous mate, it's the most fun you can have legally for sure!
Small update, my coolant header tank was making a load of funny noises when I turned the car off and I had a leak that was hard to find, I harrowed it down to the plastic tee's I had used to tie the turbo lines in so had some stainless ones made up.
Removed the down pipe and set about the glorious task of undoing the banjo fittings. when I built the car I used custom 16mm barbs on m14 banjo as I bought 25x16 tees but this meant having to jubilee clip the silicon line on the banjo that was in close proximity to the bulkhead which was a nightmare. so with the new tees made up at 1"x3/8" I used m14 banjo's with swagged 3/8" lines resulting in no jubilee being needed and inevitably eliminating another leak path.
Reattached the downpipe positioning it slightly different so it did not bang on the subframe and it seems to of fixed everything.
Cheers buddy, you wont go wrong with a decent ph1!

Awesome car mate. Just recently (past few months) got a phase 1 and I love it. Bodywork is terrible but engines strong and on 45K. Hoping to go down the boost route in the next 6 months but got a garage full of parts to go on. Including a ph2 interior inc dash. How did you do then clocks? Was it easy?
Sounds good mate!
erm clock were easy yeh, just ph2 body with ph1 electronics, couple of torx bits and they are apart
Ph1 172 and Ph1 225
Cheers mate. Be keeping my eye on this

Impressive stuff, those graphs are glorious!
Trophy Turbo :)
No we fitted it for him.
Cheers buddy, scoff has done a top job mapping it.
as above, sorry if i missed this!
Nice little update coming this weekend, will hopefully be at the CS NE meet too.
little update,
car wont be at pfc, turbo shat itself
ordered a new garrett gt2560
going to pull the engine out on saturday and shot some arp rod bolts in it too whilst its out, will paint the block and gear box again and give it a little tidy up.
ill be at PFC with craig though and hopefully still have a good day

Cheers bud, should of bought a genuine garrett to begin with, we live and learn though. Was only a 1/4 mile push home
About 800 mate, and only kids boost between 5-8psi.
Checked the oil feed to make sure there was no blockage too and that's all clear as is the return so its a strange one.

I think his previous engines has caused the issue steve. It was full of " debris"
Turbos sat under my desk for collection mate..

I see, not so good. No possibility the debris is round the current engine?
No debris in current engine I had the sump off the other day to check as that was my first thought, sump was clean.

Can't beat Scoff for mapping Looks incredibly smooth
Looks incredibly smoothSo it turns out I had a restrictor in the oil feed to the turbo and shouldn't have which was causing my oil to turbo problem. That seems all sorted now.
On another note I have a wiring issue we believe, if I can't fix the car in the next week it will be getting returned to standard, really can't be arsed with it anymore, no love or drive for it at all.

if i did that id have set fire to mine months ago

cheers guys, its just annoying after so much effort it dtill doesnt work, i guess thats the 'fun' part about building something which isnt meant to be though.
the problem is the ecu is only seeing 40% throttle posistion at wot and is causing a fueling issue.
need to check the voltage at standard ecu at wot and the adaptronic ecu if there are different then thats where the problem lies we believe.
i also need to check for a ground loop so to speak as this could also be the issue. hopefully ill have some time tonight to crack on with it.

Sounds like the exact same issue as mine has and you sound as frustrated as me with it. Hope you get it sorted soon.
have you found a solution to the problem mate?
yep, if i cant find an issue with the wiring, the only thing i havent replaced are injectors, fuel pump and relays, howeer injectors were new less than 1k ago but i imagine it is possibe for them not to work correctly from new.

PH1 loads of boost!

Not found a solution yet but am leaning towards the fuel pump relay or wiring. I'm having another go this weekend.
172 cup, Impreza P1
Interesting but not sure it's my issue as I'm getting a good crank speed reading on WARI and scoff told me if this is happening the crank signal is fine.
Can you clarify which relay is fuel pump mate I don't have a diagram to hand.
Also tonight I measure voltage at stanadard ecu end with throttle at 0% and it was 3v at 100% it was 0v however at the adaptronic end at 0% it was 0v but at 100% it was 4v.
Funky wiring gremlins it would seem as in wari with just ignition on at 0% throttle it reads 0% tps and at 100% throttle it reads 100% tps. However with the car running the tps position just dances about wherever it wants?
I have tried about 6 tps sensors now. I can't imagine all of them to be faulty.
Cheers for your input guys I will check crank signal tomorrow.
spoke to Andy tonight and he has kindly agreed to re-wire the full engine loom and get rid of and renault wiring so we can rule out any wiring gremlins!
Got the car back its all sweet, got my cup shocks from clio turbo and along with the cooksport springs they have transformed the car, really nice to drive and a lot better ride than the k-tec coilovers.
Hopefully get to give it a good blast out this weekend if it dry's up

Took the car up to the hartside meet today with the North East lot, first time I've ever drove that road and it was great fun. Few niggles to sort on the ph1 but it was going well for its first proper good run out.
