I hope its going well Dan, and hope Ethan isn't getting in the way too much posting all these updates and pics.


Oh, wait a minute. @leeds2592 you awake??

 

[JamesBryan]

Just seen on Facebook that he's got all the way there and his radiator has split, pissing coolant everywhere.

Managed to sort one from a local motor factors.

 

[dann2707]

Yeah, exactly that although there's another mapping slot at 6.30 so I don't know if I'm going to be able to get it sorted in time.

 

[Clio_fool]

No way! Well let's hope that's the only problem they have.

 

[JamesBryan]

Stick the new rad in and fill up with water for now.

 

[dann2707]

Ethans currently on the way with it now so there's nothing I can do to prep sadly. Old one is all off. Ethans been a f**king hero doing this for me

 

[JamesBryan]

Where abouts has he gone for it?

 

[dann2707]

Manchester way as it was the only place that had it in stock near here. Man, my car is allergic to being mapped

 

[JamesBryan]

Can't believe it's popped on the way up.

Reckon a stone has hit it?

 

[dann2707]

It's got quite a few splits in it like it's split due to pressure.

Gonna have to call it off Chris has just said as we're not gonna have enough time.

There goes the track day Saturday too then. So fucked off.

 

[JamesBryan]

f***s sake

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Gutted for you mate

 

[Cerrone]

Ah mate gutted for you! Doesn’t help now but once it’s all sorted you wont even remember this!

 

[leedsboy]

Well, Boris put up a fight but he's on.

Hope all goes well! Give me a shout if you need anything.

 

[JamesBryan]

Managed to get it on the rollers then!

What happened to the car that was meant to be on at 6:30?

They covered all entrances to EFI with nails

Maybe the car that was meant to be on was mega low, wouldn't get over the speed bumps on the way in

I crashed into it with my Volvo so it couldn't go on

Nah, got a good hour on the roller. Not fully sorted unfortunately but ok for now and a relatively easy, cheap fix.

Got a few photos but just about to drive home now. I'm sure Dan will do a more in depth update when home.

 

[incy-spider]

What a c**t!! Good to see it finally went on though.... [emoji106][emoji106]

Well....?

Well, what a crazy day.

I'm taking nominations for the fastest radiator swap known to man. Had it off in about 4 minutes flat.

I got to efi and noticed my coolant had dropped a fair bit and thought maybe it's just the system balancing out as I hadn't driven it for ages. Turns out the radiator had split in like 3 places?! Never seen a failure mode like that before. No signs of stone chips or anything. Looks like potentially high pressure has caused it to split? It's a new ish unit too last year bought etc.

Anyway so with the massive help of my friends they managed to source one at a gsf in Manchester and as @leeds2592 was coming to meet me in his volvo I asked him to collect it for me.

Seriously can't thank you enough for doing that mate, if you hadn't have done that this whole day would have been wasted so cheers man owe you a beer or 9 at the beer festival.

So the car went on after swapping the radiator again in the fastest time ever.

Unfortunately there's an issue with boost control, its like the N75 is on the blink and only controlling when it wants. It's either that or the ecu that's at fault. I seriously hope its the former.

So in the end we couldn't make full power sadly, it's pushing a 228/225 I think. This is because Chris has mapped it just on open waste gate so it's essentially a low boost clio.

I'm getting an N75 valve to change over then got a test to do to see if it is that.

I've just got home after what I can only describe as an epic journey, I should be sad after another issue at mapping but I'm really really not. The car has really smooth power delivery compared to before where it was point and shoot too fast. Like I was just then hooning it around corners with my right foot down and it felt bloody fantastic in fact it drives so good that I'm not in a rush to get it sorted at all, but when I do it will just be an hour in the evening with Chris.

Track day on Saturday with some usable power will be excellent very happy with it.

Cheers again to ethan for picking it up for me. Man deserves a year free on here or something haha

It's Ethan but thanks Gus

 

[dann2707]

Stop trying to trick Gus Nath

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

Nathan Ethan Euan they're all the same!

Top work boys!

Glad it came slightly good in the end

 

[dann2707]

No rush buddy, was just checking as I wasn’t sure if the site update stopped anything etc.

I think you're confusing that with something else matey. This is the boost control solenoid potensh acting up.

 

[Jamess182]

Ace. Glad you got it sorted mate after the initial disaster!

Like you mentioned, at the end of the day- good power figures are nice but not what really matters, what's important is the smile it puts on your face when you put the pedal to the metal

Classic Nathan

Piss off Lewis.

Sorry mate haha

It's alright mate, I get it all the time, I'm used to it!

Think I might be tbh, I’ve had a few bevy’s[emoji23] Just realised you’re on about the little black box with the hoses on and not the recirc valve. Facepalm n a half

It’s funny to think those figures are low! Yes they are but still makes a Clio 182 f**king fast [emoji100]

Better luck next time mate, will be worth the wait Steve

I've been in a low boost Clio at Donington and it was bloody rapid!

I feel 300 would be too much? Although the supercharged ones don't feel too bad at 300, more linear power i suppose.

I take it the box has a diff in?
