Cro's r27 f1- build video inside

[Fernandez]

Incorrect jonesy lol, there are 3 different types of just 225 ecu, Siemens, sagem and Johnson controls, then each 1 runs slightly different software and yes holy **** don't run 200 software on them it will do damage, trust me I've arsed about with too many of these ecus now and they don't all do the same........ Hey look I posted something helpful lol

So have I had all of them now.. Lol

 

[Cro]

Lol so now i've entered a mine field of what may or may not work ecu wise.... awesome!

Nice one

Any link for the ARP bolts mate? Cheers

Ordered from k-tec mate because I was getting other things from them. Cheapest place is from engine dynamics I think if thats all you are looking to get

 

[SteC]

what software do you use to set up these ecu's? clip?

do you have to some how decode the ecu? as i would of thought a ecu that's coded to a megane wont cooperate with the clio uch no?

Clip won't do what we need it to do when it comes to software, that's as far as I'm willing to go on that one though lol

 

[Yiannis197]

Thanks a lot Cro!

Oh I see. I take it you do this conversion then and you don't want to loose business by letting people know how it's done?

Sorry I'm new here so haven't looked into the traders yet.

Everyone is entitled to find out how things are done but yes unfortunately I've spent thousands making the conversion work the way it does, so,just to tell people would be a bit reckless. Sorry to hi jack your thread cro

 

[Cro]

No problem boys, we're all friends here and sure you're going to have my problem to deal with soon enough anyway lol

 

[Bobby.]

Fair enough steC, I'd be the same tbh.

I don't mind problems, means I have to come up with solutions

 

[Jonesy]

U dont say that while working on my car lol

U dont say that while working on my car lol

My brain can only cope with so many problems at a time

Getting back on topic, engines looking good Cro.. That oil feed pipe shouldn't be too hard to find.

If Ste can sell you one then try French Spares

Put a new one on from renault, you should always put a new feed pipe on if possible, they are about 40 quid from renault iirc

Looking good Cro - I assume you're just going for the engine being put in the Clio and nothing nuts like attempting to make it RWD or 4WD?

Lol not just yet Adam, once I get my mind round boosted engines maybe i'll put something in with some decent power that warrants 4wd

 

[Cro]

Another delivery, started to work my way through Renault's spaghetti junction of a coolant system. Not a great jigsaw when the originals to work off were a melted puddle of rubber lol



And a nice shiny recirc valve where it was previously blanked off for a dump valve, don't think I want a super loud TTTTSSSSSSSHHHHHH so this'll do the job nicely, i'll look like i'm sponsored by forge by the end of this build

 

[Foxspeed]

Well i've been busy what seems to be every weekend and was doing my nuts in because I know the electrics and ecu coding are going to be one of the toughest and possible time consuming parts so one evening I threw the head up and knocked it out in a couple of hours.

Just a couple of teaser pics, need to weld in a "sports cat" with a link section, get the electrics sorted and then I can map it Hopefully no hiccups

Would have had this done and out in probably 2-3 hours but of my retarded torx keys snapped on me.... twice



Got the loom and ecu out pretty sharpish, all labeled up incase I forget





Both ends of this b*stard


So out came the torch



Which resulted in




Garage has been tidier tho

 

[Fernandez]

Its all happening now mate, can't wait to see the Meg engine in
