It's a renault so probably a pig. I did a quick search and I think you can wiggle it out past the driveshaft with inlet manifold off and exhaust undone and moved back. Ill find out this weekend!

If anyone's interested. I twatted the starter motor with a hammer and now it starts. Will be on the to do list. Wish it played up last weekend so I could of replaced it when I put the 182 manifold on. ​Oh well

Nice one. Well done mate. Good luck at Le Mans might see you around :p

This morning I had a non starting problem. Unlock vehicle, ignition on and when turning to crank it goes dead. No tools with me so all I could do was check passengers fuse box - all ok and engine bay relays/fuses. These where quite corroded so I managed to scrape them up a bit with a knife and...

Iv just done mine and it was fairly simple. There's a good guide here on the forum as well. Henk is also very prompt on communication. Once you've done it you can sell it on or use it as a diagnostic tool for the future.

​All FSH vehicles?

​Does your service manager mate see many bottom end failures?

Yeah cool no worrys. Im off to Cornwall this weekend anyway but back Sunday evening.

Ok cool iv got access to a decent build shop as well but I reckon might be able to get away with just doing big ends. Depends when sump is off. Is it your main vehicle? Have you got a driveway? Offers there if you want a hand. Nice to know there's a few people local with clios

How far are you from woking? Ill give you a hand

I'm in Surrey an have a complete bottom end for sale. Cheap cheap. Probably easier to just replace whole engine though.

What would you class as random bolt ons? I'm just going to do the bits Iv said and then have some fun at a couple track days before going for a bit overhaul during winter and focussing on either bodies or turbo. Iv owned turbos before though so I think I might go throttle bodies route this time.

Why is a standard valve more likely to fail rather then spring or follower? Where did you purchase your valves? I saw some KTEC supplied and I thought they were on the pricey side.

Yeah 100% it would have cams when I sort the head out and either go turbo or throttle bodies. Just wanted a higher RPM with the RS Tuner map, matched inlet, bmc filter and exhaust. Its running 162.5bhp now so wanted to eek a little more out before a big rebuild.

I think you might just end up ruining the cat. If your gonna do it, decat it :o

Is that the ARP stud kit for the head? Is it the followers that are mostly likely to fail? I wanted 7800rpm and then push a little higher with head mods. Ill have to request higher RPM then when I get my licence and map tomorrow.

£112 each... For the iridium tipped ones at work for the vehicle I work on. £112 x 8. Ouch.

Maybe I have to request it when I purchase the map. I want the 7800 limit. Anyone gone higher with standard head internals? :rolleyes:

I though they were both 12v sensors and the front is also heated so it brings temps up quicker on cold start. Front should fluctuate between 4-800mv and the rear downstream used to measure gases after Cat. Hence why after de cat most people encounter EML lights. I may be wrong.

You'll be at Bedford for renaultsport evening? Be interested in having a look at that engine bay if you'd be so kind? :) Im just weighing up exhaust options at the moment. I will have two systems by the end of the week hopefully and noise limits will play a large factor. Anyways sorry off topic.

Both look smoked. Doesn't the graph have a time vs voltage plot?

Just a nice burble from some throttle bodies and agressive cams :) Chip what exhaust do you run and what's the noise like turbo'ing the f4r?

It's an over run map so shouldn't effect emissions testing. Iirc MOT is at something like 3.5/4k rpm for emissions and then idle. ​

Ignition timing yeah

I'm not sure regarding the map but I guess it's both over fuelling and timing. Has anyone got aftermarket cams and then used vernier pulleys and if so what amount of overlap?

What miss timed as in ignition? I.e pops and bangs map? Yeah interesting theory isn't it.

How many people have got a decent set of cams and what's the cam duration and overlap from the manufacture?

Result. Cheers

Could anyone tell me the RPM limit on a RON98 map from Fastchip. I have my RS tuner coming and will be buying licence and emailing Henk but wanted to increase RPM for my new ARP bolts. Just wondered if it was in the generic map already or if you have to request this when you order. Thank you

Same lights as mine. DTC says steering angle sensor. After clearing codes the abs stayed off for a day and then came back on. Been on for months just haven't got round to fixing it.
