Re: Road/Track 172
They were on the car when I bought it but they were from the group buy on here a few years ago, fairly poor fit to be honest.
Morgan the wiring is all plug and play bar you need to run an extra live feed in for the cam switch over and need to change the plug on the original crank sensor wiring, I used an old injector plug. The car will run with it either way but the rev counter only works one way.

Re: Road/Track 172
Yip omex told me I would need to run a 12v feed and the aux2 to the cam plug as its a switched ground, justnow I'm still using the standard ecu for this as didn't know if the switch points were set in the map and ran out of time. I have run the wiring from the omex aswell so my mapper can switch it over.
Justnow I'm using the standard ecu for fan and fuel pump, I've just tucked the omex wiring out the way in the fuesbox.

Re: Road/Track 172
Ill see what's easiest when I come to it but omex spliced in a fan relay to my loom so that should be easy enough and I hope to mount the omex inside so should be easy enough for the fuel pump, did you wire in the dash binacle there is a feed for that aswell on my loom? Where did you take the feed from, I know its not a big issue but what did you find easist?
Did you strip back the standard loom just now or did you run out of time, im worried about taking out a shared earth etc.

Re: Road/Track 172
I left the dash fed as normal all the unused wires from my old loom are cut back behind the gearbox , individually shrink wrapped then wrapped in a bunch and tucked back into the loom trunking.
I made up a beige for the fuel pump fuse to power the 12v trigger for the ecu, but you could easily use one of the 12v ignition fed lives from the old loom.

Re: Road/Track 172
If you could email it to me that would be great, Im not sure if Sitech has started the mapping or not yet, have to say though the base map from Omex started from cold brilliantly and drove fine but kept it under 3K on the way to dropping the car off.
Not sure if im going to get the wheels or not as having a nightmare with paypal out here

Re: Road/Track 172
Typical im away as i have a spare omex plug made up for connecting the ecu to a battery to check setings off the car.
I forgot to sayas it was my last day at home , I ended up buying another serial to usb adaptor from a local back street computer shop for £5 that worked perfectly.

Looking good, the engine bay looks spot on.

Re: Road/Track 172
Just had an update from my mapper he is waiting for ramp space to fit the ARP's so only reving to 7100 rpm, but has done some mapping up to that point and power is still rising and showing 176.6 ATW. Not wanting to get into the whole rolling road debate thing but its on the same rollers that the initial run was done on before the cams and bodies and showing 20bhp up ATW.

Re: Road/Track 172
Its cool about the file as going by the power Simon must be getting on ok with the mapping from the original Omex one.
When are you away back to work ? Im not home untill the 5th so if its before that I will just wait and get the timing tool back later.

Re: Road/Track 172
Got emailed a work in progress power print out , so here it is compared to my old spec. The ARP's are now in so will be reving to 7500-7600 RPM , and more mapping to smooth out the delivery.
I did think about a jump from 90mm to 110mm trumpets to increase torque , but as it running a standard box and clutch this may just add extra cost for unreliable gains ?

Re: Road/Track 172
Yip I noticed that and have emailed Simon about a possible change to trumpet size, torque is down everywhere until 5K where it then holds much better from then on. This is just a work in progress map so will probably change a bit even without changing parts.

Re: Road/Track 172
Final power output was 174.8 bhp at the wheels and 166.1 lbft , I picked the car up tonight and love the way it goes it just revs so much more freely than before.
Also bought these to use as track wheels with 888's or Ao48's for track then use the 1.2's with Yokos for road and wet

Re: Road/Track 172
Going back for a 2nd time in the porker lol, lovely car from the pics.
It would be a good bit of work but with all the cars being broken it could be done cheaply. I still have all interior plastics, rear seats, bolts etc etc if you go down that route. You could have them for penny's as I'm away to throw most out.

Re: Road/Track 172
Well after thinking of selling the clio at the end of last year and actualy getting an offer of my full asking price , I bottled it and decided to keep it for some fun
Since then the only new mods done are some nice blue harnesses that came out of my new focus RS, and a quick corner weight session coming in at 957kg fairly heavy against my friends 106gti at 840kg.
Im thinking a diet may be in order how much weight can be saved with lexan windows, and fiberglass bonnet and tailgate ?
Yesterday was my first trackday of the year a 5 hour open pit day at knockhill, im happy to say it drove there did 6 sessions and drove home without any issues.
