    Clio 172 cup gear box code

    I’m sure it physically fits but you won’t have a working speedo. As the cup uses a speedo sensor fitted into the 129 gearbox (not compatible in the 130) as it uses the abs for the speedo. That’s my understanding anyway.

    Decat to sports cat mapping required ?

    Hi I currently have a Clio 172 turbo with adaptronics Ecu. Due to finding it more and more difficult to get the car MOTd each year I have fitted a puremotorsport sports cat to my system. The car has previously been mapped by EFI and I am wondering what people’s opinions are on needing to get...

    Correct cam shaft locking potition ?

    Ye mine is running a turbo. And Im currently rebuilding the engine with forged pistons and rods new belts etc after previous engine failure . That's why I'm hoping to fit the keyed bottom pulley. I think I'll give it ago following the normal fitting procedure but obviously will have to remove...

    Equalising tension with key wayed crank pulley

    I am wanting to fit a key wayed crank pulley whilst rebuilding my engine. I have read that this is advised when turboing a f4r. My question is how do you then equalise the tension as you can not leave the crank floating as you would with the standard pulley. Is it a case of removing the...

    Correct cam shaft locking potition ?

    Hi. This may seem a silly question but having read the below manual I'm still left unsure as to which position the cam shaft should be in to fit the locking tool. Should the larger half be at the top or bottom. Is the below image incorrect ? The next little question is Iv read that it...

    Black Sheep flocking - I've lost £130

    I ordered a steering wheel cowling direct from there website, approx 6 months ago. Obviously as above never received it. I can't believe that there website was still active, able to take ur money but not trading.

    EPAS Conversion

    Ok I Will have a go of that then. Mite be a silly question, But is the stretch belt physically different or is it just the method in which it is fitted ? And assume it's just a case of taking a measurement for the length of belt I require ensuring it's a good fit ? Thanks for everyone's advice.

    EPAS Conversion

    Been trying to work out a solution to get rid of pas pump for my trackway next week. Mite not be ideal. But do u think the following would work either utilising the tensioner or removing the tensioner and possibly a stretch belt that has been mentioned ? Not sure the tensioner would do enough...

    EPAS Conversion

    Just thinking out loud. As a temporary solution to prevent the pump failing, could I fit a small fluid resivour to supply fluid direct to the pump. As this would keep the pump lubricated and cool ? Obviously I have every intention on getting rid of the pump with new auxiliary set up. But as...

    EPAS Conversion

    So looks like I need to sort the cup/PMS set up sooner rather than later. Can't believe a supposed clio specialist would send the car out with the epas conversion carried out in this way. Thanks for everybody's advise

    EPAS Conversion

    No im not running cup set up. Will look into cup set up or PMS kit over winter. I assume that having the pump in place shouldn't cause me any problems for now ? I.e. Causing the aux belt to fail ! As I assume the pump is running dry or with very little fluid in. Need to use car as I have...

    EPAS Conversion

    It has had a new steering rack im led to believe. Off the same car the column etc came off. Just the pump has been left in place.

    EPAS Conversion

    What have ppl done about the power steering pump after the conversion ? As I have had the epas fitted to my ph1 by a Clio specialist, and they have just cut and looped the pipes on the pump ! Is this ok or abit dodgy as my concern is the pump possibly overheating or ceasing and causing damage to...

    Turbo conversion advice

    I would avoid clioturbo at all costs. I dropped my car off with them September 2015 at the time payed £3000 upfront, and given a timescale of 8/9 weeks for there me kit 2 and lsd fitted. 7months later and 100s of emails and blanked phone calls I got the car back. The car was only half complete...

    Show me your brake ducts (outside and inside the bumper)

    Have you seen the kit that "backyard civics" do. Looks a good bit of kit. Although from what I have seen only supply them to suit the brembo calipers at the min. But seems as thou if you contacted them they would design a set for standard calipers.

    Mr Plums Progress.. Clio 182 Turbo!

    Hi. Just wondering if you could advise the issue u had with the boost cut. As mine does the same. If I put it in high boost it randomly cuts the power. (Well annoying). The car is due to go back to Andy but struggling to get a date and thought if it's something straightforward maybe try it...

    Mr Plums Progress.. Clio 182 Turbo!

    Hi mr Tom. I don't suppose u saw my car whilst u was there. It's the silver/green ph1 been there for far too long now getting stage2 and LSD. I have similar issues getting info from him. Don't even know where the build is upto. Would put my mind at ease if u did see it complete. Haha
