my clio 1.2 16 valve turbo conversion
- Thread starter robclio16v
- Start date
black 3 door clio 1.2 16v
been looking into the megasquirt option all nyt and ive been speaking to a guy who tunes them for a living , hes a private tuner and has a great track record and he also deals them, he has assured me that it will work perfecty as a piggy back fuel controller along side my standard ecu for thetime being..he also asures me he can create a basic start up fuel map included in the price of the ecu, then i have the option of further mapping it myself or he will tune personaly on a rolling road for £75 a day (should take 1 day no longer depending on how far out the base map is) soo il be ordering that the end of next month ,

£75 for mapping?? Bargain.

Bare in mind you'd have to rent the RR too. Most places are £50 an hour.
I don't see why you'd run MS as a piggy back system though. With a few extra bits you could have it controlling everything.

yer £75 per day for the fuel mapping as im using it as a piggy back fuel controller,. if i want any other functions added in like ignition and antilag or boost controll it can all be added to the system as options
black 3 door clio 1.2 16v
it will only stay piggy back for the time being then when i have the time and money to go into a full setup i will controll everything.. also he doesnt need to do it on the rollers he is able to live map the car while im driving on the road in real conditions

yer the timing is one thing ive been thinking about and in all honestly id like it to run the fueling and the timing but leave the standard ecu to controll the ignition and lights, dash etc

bit of both. Just sounds like a bit of a throw together and hope
MS is OK if you have excellent electronics knowledge, but the control systems are crude to put it kindlyRoad mapping is fine for fueling (if a little long winded), but you can't do the timing accurately. You can sometimes get close, and it'll be OK, but you dont have anything to gauge timing changes with. We always make some minor changes on the road, things like pulling away from junctions, and low speed stuff as in around town crawling to make a car more pleasant and smooth

MS is a little more exciting if you like a challenge though. Plus you can buy full built ones for very little.
Although recently my friend had a problem with his MAP signal being noisey. I sorted it with a capasitor but in general most people wouldn't know where to start.
Its swings and round abouts. Can't the OP use the 1.2 TCE management?

if i could find tce mangment id think it could lol but it seems non existant

I dont think you want to really. mk3 electronics are a lot more complicated

yer thats what k-tec said to me , i was talkng to a mate earlier with a turbo'd low boost saxo , hes using an mf2 setup witch is basically a fuel controller and he said for the time being i can have it if i want untill i can afford standalone and mapping.... might give that a try, can anyone tell me if the 1.6 16v injectors will fit my engine/fuel rail?
ITB'd MK1
MF2 is a 5th injector setup if i'm not mistaken. bit ghetto for me, but an option on a temporary basis I guess. If anyone's got a pic of an injector it'd be helpful, there's always something that will fit
black 3 door clio 1.2 16v
the only thing that confuses me about the mf2 is like u said its a fith injector setup , but it says in the mf2 info guide thingy (im not thinkin straight 2nyt lol long day in work) that it can either controll its own set of injectors alongside the original ecu or intercept the original injectors signal and modify from there... il give it a try as a temp thing tho , gunna get the engine up and runing on a low boost setup with the mf2 or similar then whe funds allow im going to get a second engine and build it upto a higher spec with low comps etc and run full standalone.
as usual the forum haters are out in force.its one of those things.....the sensible option would be 'bung a 2 litre in it and turbo that' but fact is thats been done to s**t and im getting bored of the same ol threads.personally i wouldnt bother with this project as it will eat a horrendous amount of cash for notalota power !!! BUT its not my car and im quite enjoying reading something different . good luck with this one mate
black 3 door clio 1.2 16v
cheers guys the project is on hold abit for a while as i had a bump and i need the funds to get the car repaired and mot'd
s**t man im sorry to hear that !!!!!
black 3 door clio 1.2 16v
lol irs okay now jus a bent wishbone, fuked anti roll bar, buckled wheel and knakered passenger seat as airbag went off lol
Thats sort of comment is why there arn't more interesting projects on here.
I agree with you, and I would do the same, but I think this would be a very interesting project to see.

Adapter for the standard manifold to the turbo
downpipe from the turbo
oil feed line
oil return line
boss welded into the sump for the return
Boost pipes
Intercooler
silicone hoses of various bends
silicone vac hose for dump valve and boost gauges
boost gauge
dump valve
2.5bar map sensor
4 bigger injectors (use dastek and map sensor module to run this option)
MF2 and sigcon (runs extra one or two injectors along side the oe 4 if not going for dastek option)

heya guys and gals, the project is still here lol , the exhaust is a cat back stainless steel systemcustom made by prospeed in cardiff. well worth the trip down imo..it cost me £260 will a lifetime warranty. and asits custom it can be made to sound how youlike. i had it made so its quiet at low rpm then a nice roar at 5k lol
