Adaptronic ECU Piece of P1ss

OK Folks, I have taken the plunge, and taken one from Dave G at ART.
Dave supplied the injectors, the ECU, the wires as 4 mini looms (which have 4 connectors for the ECU), a TPS, an old R25 ECU and PeterG's map. I got my MAP sensor from the US.
First I had to break out the connector from the old R25 ECU and clean it up.
I have read and analysed the Renault wiring diagram and compared them to Dave G's supplied diagram (taken from PeterGs car). Dave's diagram seems to be spot on.
I have soldered each of the Adaptronic wires to the old R25 ECU socket and afterwards checked it all with a multimeter.
As a test, I connected the ECU to the car and it started FIRST time, on the button.
Now I just have a bit of tidying up to do, and some fine tuning before I go out for a drive. I'll be at Harpendon on Wednesday if any one want so see it.

Thanks Dave , especially for your time on the phone to dilute my doubts on various things.
A few more calls later probably.

Though from the title I initially thought you'd had a bad day

Here are some pics.

The Plug

The Loom, there is a buble of spare wires that can be used for other features at a later date, like water spray, traction control etc etc etc.

The TPS sensor installed

The 3 bar MAP sensor. I have left the original 2 bar sensor in situ, so that I can still use it if required, and it will be a lot less bother to re-install.

The ECU in situ, on a bracket that I made up.

The Adaptronic ECU, installed with the loom.

There is a piece of rubber strapped onto the back of my loom plug so that it is insulated from anything behind it.
(for 'piece of rubber' read 'old bicycle inner tube' and strapped on with cable ties...... pikey, but it works well)

When you see it all in black and white

Nice one Simon.....of course it wont be reading the flywheel correctly so you'll need to take the engine out and have the flywheel machined!

Peter, can you remind me exactly what is the problem with the original flywheel and how to overcome it, thanks.

No......you'd need to see Stunned Monkey for details...something about spacing of the missing teeth....or was it hens teeth....or dragons teeth....something like that!!
Personally it worked fine on my car (until it blew, which had nothing to do with teeth or wheels!).

I'll make a call and find out what the low down is, thanks peter, so far so good, but I do need to do a bit more mapping for optimal performance.

Oh yes, I was at Hethel this weekend, the Lotus test track at the back of the factory. WOW, challenging, fast, furious, awesome drifting (it was dry) and of course fun too. They had to have 2 chichacnes to slow things down a bit.

I was beaten by the regular evos, Ms and porkers, but not by as much as normal. I beat half the TVRs and 5 of the 6 Ferraris.

Open this for a map,
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/s.taylor8817/web%20pics/LotusSprintMap.docthere was no photography allowed as it is a Research and Development location, but we could see 211s being built, one racing too.

Peter was joking.

I wondered my my car was running ???
Running pretty well for now actually. And with the std flywheel and std sensor.
Bloody wind-up.... hello hello - Sonny Jim !

I am starting to worry about you now Simon......how could you possibly have missed the 6 month debate that went on over this??????

Im mapping a supercharged 1.6 Peugeot tonight we have done tonight., shouldnt take too long, using the Adaptronic my Techedge wideband. If I have time, I might video the whole process to show people the simplicity of it.

Help !!!

I have got it all ready to go but I'm scared to plug it in Somone hold my hand please


I need to upload the PG base map and tweek it

Slightly bigger injectors ,15% .3 bar MAP .No need for a 0-5v TP ???
Have got a bigger turbo in the pipeline but want to get it running as it is .


WTF is DG ?????
