Thanks mate, I might make up a few in the future if anyone wants any. Yeah just annoying more than anything, hopefully will be properly mapped soon.

UPDATE: Haven't been on here for a while so thought id update with progress so far. First of all the radiator has made a HUGE difference, temps don't go above the 3rd marker even after some hard abuse and sitting in traffic. So I would definitely recommend fitting one if anyone is thinking of...

UPDATE: This weekend the girlfriend was in Paris for the weekend, I booked Friday and Monday off and got to work sorting out the little niggly problems. First up was an oil change, pretty simple, no different from a clio oil change really. Topped back up with castrol edge and new renault...

Also a lot of these conversions now are poorly done with corners cut, puts people off buying them tbh. I know I wouldn't buy one, I'd like to do all the work myself to make sure it's done correctly.

Thanks guys :) UPDATE: Bit of a late update as didnt have time yesterday. Well Ive managed to install half of my fuel system. I first set about wring in the pump. You use the green wire (12V feed) on the pump sender and run this to a 12V relay, so when the stock pump primes and turns on, the...

UPDATE: Another week with the clio and all is going great. There are though a few problems I need to address first before mapping. First one being the problem of overheating that these conversions seem to have. It really showed up when we had that freak heat wave earlier in the week. The cause...

Thanks guys :) Tonight The front of the car was taken apart again to fix a small coolant leak on the radiator hose, did the hose clip up a bit tighter and it seems to have solved it. Then I took the car for a quick 50 mile blast around the local roads, didn't miss a beat. Still cant get over...

UPDATE: I know its been a long time without a decent update so i apologise. Anyway today was a very good day, the culmination 2.5 years of hard work, I actually got to drive it. The car drives great and with the extra torque it is so much easier to drive even when limiting myself to 3k revs...

The loom I think was wrong.... Andy made up a new one and it worked perfectly.

I'll be running close to 400 ib ft through mine :lol:

It's getting picked up tomorrow now and dropped off Sunday. A puncture on my dad's car put an end to picking it up and driving back :lol:

I understand that mate, but essentially without any boost the fuelling will be the same as a standard r26. Unless I go really crazy and lean out big time then it should be fine I reckon. Will see how much it is to transport it

Thanks for all the kind words guys, absolutely buzzing for getting it back home, been without a car for 11 months now. It's not mapped yet but that's booked in for the end of the month, going to get a few 1000 miles on it before that. Andy and Owen at clioturbo have done a cracking job, taken...

So this afternoon I've got the news that I've been waiting for the past 5 months, "Your car is running mate". Hopefully pick it up this weekend, actually buzzing

After looking around, the car has gone to Andrew at clio turbo. They worked on it Friday and Saturday and managed to resolve the electrical fault of the throttle not opening at all. Car is still running stupidly rich. Ignition and valve cam timing is spot on so which leads on to the possibly of...

UPDATE: Little update as the car gets shipped to another garage tomorrow. Was going to be taken to EFI but an unexpected car arrived there so the my car couldnt be stored inside which is a bit risky in my opinion. Anyway the car is now going to Clio turbo for them to have a look at the car...

Thanks mate, you kind of have to have patience sometimes when tuning, very rarely will you get no problems.

As regards to SC, Steve has been great to me, he has always provided support for me and even lent me spare parts in the parts for me to able to troubleshoot,. Yes he did take a little long but he is a small garage after all and is always busy. Its a shame that he is closing down, after all, this...

Right haven't updated this in a while. This is mainly because not much has happened with the car. I havent seen it for 4 months and Steve has checked everything he could possibly do. new loom, ecu, sensors and more. Seems the problem could be trickier to fix than first thought. Therefore the...
