Thanks for the reply. I've done some reading and as you say the standard cap will release pressure if it overheats - I guess in the standard setup it would just vent steam/coolant over the engine bay? I think my tank is probably in the 1L to 1.5L region, I'll measure the outside of it in a bit...

It's more than a bit annoying needing to sort the mot before driving it!! Really wanna mad max it and take it out for a spin - but I'm about 30 seconds from the local town police station so that's def not possible!! I think the list of jobs is very minor now though: Bumper screws exhaust/cat...

Quite a tidy job I think and actually managed not to dremel my hands this time. Literally last couple of times I've used a dremel I've caught my hand with a cut off disc! Little vid of the idle, touch lumpier than the dbw setup but still very stable. Would be cooler to have it lumpier still...

Close, got the horn working - turned out to be a poor connection on the horn itself, so got some electrical cleaner and now that's working. Bumper's 99% fitted now, just need the 4 screws at the very bottom that connect the arch liners - they're on order. - Took a dremel and removed that strange...

Looks a nice cage that does. No denying white on white (speedlines) looks awesome too!

Best off getting hold of him on Cliosport.net - same username.

Cheers guys and yep be plenty of vids when I can get out in it! Shuz the pick-up/throttle response now is un-friggin-real! I've only really manoeuvred it a couple of times and given it a mild blipping, but it's breath on it levels of response! I've got the a/c delete now with a light weight...

No problem! haha. Tbh there is no rational or objective reason to go this route, I'd steer anyone towards a Supercharger if looking to put a reasonable amount of money down and isn't currently invested in any tuning route prior. More power, less money, less hassle, no noise issues on track, and...

Cheers, yeah pleased for sure, making at the wheels now what you'd expect stock at the fly. I'll get it back to Surrey Rolling Road at some point as I've got base lines for the stock engine and 1st forged engine there. It's a shame the last one never lasted long enough to make it there - as that...

cheers dude, yeah very happy as I know that's easily as much power (ok maybe not low/midrange) as the last engine, given the heat and on those rollers. So the choice to put the ITB's on to make up for removing forged pistons and what not, has at last proven to pay off. Same power (certainly...

Good mate thanks, if you can believe it!!! 220bhp/171ftlb - that was whilst very hot after mapping so your typical power run shootout on a much cooler engine etc would have a few more on top. Also the T'n'R dyno is spot on, so it'll make 220 anywhere basically (I can think of a place or 2 it'd...

Wednesday 19th at 1pm...! Gotta sort a days leave and transporter hire next week but hopefully that date won't change. Lewis, yeah I'd think ED given where you are. They've been doing the mk3 ECU for about 4 years now, I know my first forged engine was basically the first mk3 they did, but been...

Indeed it has!! Just better be worth it in the long run heh! :tired: Oh it wasn't EFI that didn't have the cable, I took it to Track n Road - I'm only just pointing that out as potentially others will read this. I'll still go back to TnR, they do Caterhams and Mountunes mapping apparently and...

Cheers, proper nervous something else will go wrong mind!! It almost feels like it was too easy getting it working, firmware and a new cable....I must have missed something right! lol

Not been plain sailing last few days - the car wouldn't start on the new firmware! Long story short there was a change to the crank signal code in the ECU, and because I have a TTV steel flywheel that has probably got slight machining variance compared to an OEM flywheel, the changes in the...

Tbh and on reflection (and I was fuming yesterday when the firmware upload seemed to brick it) - my thoughts are probably more indicative to the whole situation of everything that's transpired since getting the ECU, rather than the ECU in isolation. No doubt probably be saying similar had I...

A little bit more woe today, the new 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter arrived and that works fine in maintaining the correct pinning from 3.5mm to its 2.5mm end. However I still couldn't talk to the ECU. Decided to take apart the actual USB CAN interface that the 2.5mm plug goes into. On checking how...

Cheers fellas! Although I am going to test drive a 370Z tomorrow....! At the very least I'll know whether it's something I want now or later in the year. It could go either way I actually don't know :tearsofjoy:

It's just those transmission losses are 25% which is really high for a Clio and so very unlikely. You can't ever be sure going from wheel to fly (although some rollers do measure coast down losses which can be pretty accurate if intended), but I would hazard a guess of a fly fig to be more in...
