Clio Clio 197 with forged Megane r26 engine

[stephenvenning]

UPDATE:

I havent updated in a while mainly due to not much progress being made. Ive been spending every weekend endlessly trying to check sensors, wiring, fuses, relays, throttle bodies and much more bits all to no avail. The cars throttle is not responding at all, hence it will only rev to 2.5K but this is due to fueling and its running extremely rich on 1 2 and 3, number 4 is okay as its taking all the air as its closest to the throttle body. So yes pretty frustrating as its all ready to go but just electrical issues holding it back. Im hopefully going to trailer the car down to SC autos on Friday to hopefully get it up and running properly, Ill then trailer it back home and then begin running it in.

Anyway due to a leaky injector o ring I had the fuel rail out, I thought id give a go at polishing it up. 1 hour of buffing with an old DA pad and some autosol and its turned up lovely, i don't know how long it will stay like this but oh well.




















Thanks

How frustrating, could it be to do with the ECU do you think? Don't I recall you having an issue with it before as well?

Dont think its the ecu as Ive tried another ecu and still the same. Im getting it delivered to SC autos wednesday so hopefully should pick her up again Monday and then take an easy drive back.

Good luck!

Hope they can diagnose this quickly and cheaply for you mate!

This is horrible after all the hard graft and time

could be anything from fuelling to cam timing....blocked exhaust....

I heard they found the problem....

It's got the wrong engine in it, they're currently trying to source the correct one hence the delay

:dh:

Wow didn't realise there was so much anticipation lol well there arent any real updates on the car at this present time. The electrical gremlins are still giving us the run around. Ive passed it over to SC autos now, been there 3 weeks, so hopefully it shouldnt be too long. I doubt it will be 100% ready either for FCS im afraid, probably be running but not mapped or putting out the intended power.

I was worried you'd had an accident or something!

Nice to know youre safe.

Now hurry the f*ck up, and i'll swap you a go in my new Clio when theyre both done

I've heard stories about SC before, hope it won't happen to you....

My guess is there's something wrong with the wiring
