Okey okey okey.... so alot have happend since last time, a bit good, a bit bad (read alot) but hang on tight this is one of the regular large updates that happens from time to time in this thread (luckily i take pictures of stuff haha

)
So since i last updated i have done actually quite alot but in this order, so it's gonna start off slow.
I have made some more progress on my cam axle sensor, i have no clue if it's gonna work or not but its a small neodymium magnet in a 3d-printed sleeve that fits over the dizzy-cap's rotor shaft, I also redid the housing so it actually accepted the screws the where mounted on an angle.
I parked my black clio outside during a snowstorm and somehow managed to dig it out AND drive it with 888's in snow up the slope to my garage, insane!
Some days later i started to install my "new" hub's with rollcenter correction, however the steering rods where incorrect so i had to dissasemble my steering rack and buy some new ends the fit my shiny hubs
I have also started to mock up a plate in 3D for a blankingplate to take the waterpumps place, so all my water will be "driven" pumped by the electric pump.
I also started the cleanup of the engineharness and testfitted my new reliable combined oil pressure and temperature probe on the back of the block, a Bosch 0261230340 with a M14 X 1.5 / M10 X 1 adapter, fits like a glove! It's gonna be nice to have reliable preassure and temp monitoring, instead of the guesswork you have with the stock gauges
Later on i did som mockups on where to mount the waterpump and made some kind of crude bracket/mountingsollution for it just to realize later that you actually can clock the outlet... gosch darnit... i also ditched the diy sollusion for driving the waterpump and got a premade controller.
I took out the stock engine because it was time to mount the ITB-engine, LUCKILY I took a look at the timingbelt, that could have gone REAL bad... it has been loose (i can only blame myself for not mounting it correctly) and chewed itself into the alu casting
I also finally mounted my new sinterpads to my clutch and mounted the hubs
Traced some more wires and removed stuff that wasent needed and started to build a tiny engine electrical subpanel
Later on was one of the most dreaded task i had with this engine... meassuring the valve lash with home made solid lifters that where all different hights... after ALOT and i mean ALOT off meassuring and math i finally was quite happy with all it's positions and lash. Unfortunetly i dont remember exctly what lash i put but i think it was somewhere around 0,15mm-0,25mm.
After that debacle I tackled the flywheel/clutch/gearbox,

Not long after I mounted the engine in the car I realised that the clutchfork was ALOT mor sloppy that expected, compared the (fingers?) of the preassureplate of the one on my sinterd clutch and on my stock engine, they are quite diffrent amount of springensproingen on them.... this resulted in me stealing a megane preassureplate from a friend and called it a day...
You know you have to have a alternator in the car to make it go wroom right? Well since everything in this car is special special ofc the alternator would not fit under the ITB's without some grinding a new alot shorter belt and a alomost wish to collide with itself over the waterpump pulley. I also got some new bronze bolts for the exhaust manifold, because blingbling/racecar
Then it was time to start making the actuall enginehasness, note that this is my first harness i have probably made alot of "why did you do it like that, you should have done it like this" stuff wrong regarding the allmighty Motorsport Wiring Groups, but this was what i had on hand and it's a starting point. I have not decided where to place my ECU yet tho (Speeduino Drop Bear) but atleast it should be inside the car.
After all this things started to go south... like real south...
