5 GT Turbo project 4 years and counting

[Mark Davis]

i ordered it should be here today so fingers crossed it’s genuine if not I’ll send it back. It clearly states genuine so let’s hope so. Yeh getting rid of all the auxiliaries just running alternator use a different bracket and shorter belt Mark Davis posted the link on his thread I think

You can use either the tensioner from ebay which I currently have on the car (not sure I am too confident that it will last) or you can buy the more sturdy set up from France which is about £50. I believe @James5 had his ebay tensioner snap so I'd probably save your cash and buy the one from France.

My eBay tensioner did snap but I have now have a spare gtx setup I will sell

That inlet pic you have out up is early phase 1 which is what you want.

Looks the same as my ph1 inlet. If like me you don’t plan to use ISCV then you could get it blocked off. (I wish I did that now)

I sent my inlets off to be port matched and painted but he also cut off the OE coil pack bracket and filled the MAP sensor hole. I wish I asked him to fill ISCV hole too, if you plan to get yours sorted by the same chap perhaps ask him to do that? Happy to give you his detail if required.

 

[jack]

Yeh sent the address mate that pic was just for reference I have a phase two manifold with no hole. So there’s no need run icv then ???

 

[Mark Davis]

If you are running 420/440d (@James5 keep me honest here) you need to get a new board of some description added so the Adaptronic can manage the type of ISCV that the Clio uses. I believe @James5 sent his off to Scoff to sort.

I just block it and run without, one less thing to configure and fuck about with as far as I’m concerned.

Surely it won’t idle right with no icv though

Idles fine, didn’t have ICV on C1J either.

To run the Clio icv you have to run an additional board called a stepper driver board.

I bought the board direct from adaptronic a few months back was the last one they had. Not sure if they were making more as it's now old product. I still haven't used it or setup and icv yet I run without with no issue. Although cold start would be helped with an icv.

So a few other things a box full of spares had been thrown out joys of using the parents shed I need a cable throttle body and a starter motor also struggling on the wiring loom for the Adaptronic
