    The part was from Renault direct matey or if you have a local scrappy with some volvo F series 1.7 lumps in 440 etc..
    7700716912 - Mounting Plate - £19.51 inc VAT

    With ref to using the GTT plate not done it myself but you could prob place the engine in the car and place the gtt plate on the mount and drill an extra couple of holes into the plate so you could mount it to the 172 block may need a little more fettling than that. I purchased a new GTX plate from Renault but it was on delay for 2 weeks from france.

    Have to agree do not like the 16v bonnet but it serving a purpose will hopefully look better once sprayed uptungy

    can you re-drill the GTT mounting, I was doing it so often I made up a drill template for them. from memory one hole lines up. you need to tweek it a bit with a grinder to clear the bottom water pipe.

    Prob could have had it running by now but stumped with the wiring and awaiting a brand new 044 fuel pump to turn up I will get their eventually.

    if I recall mate one of the bolts (left as you look at it ?) wants to sit on the ridge of the pressed plate. I ground the plate flat so the bolt could seat correctly. I get all 3 in like this.

    I decided to bite the bullet and order the part... for £20 it'll save me a bit of time

    He recons the part will be in stock tomorrow.. we'll wait and see..

    Have to agree that is pretty much why I purchased a load of new bits from Renault to save time.

    You should get some pics up matey of your progress would be interesting to see how you are coming, are you doing this as a rear conversion or is it under the bonnet?

    you need the battery bolted to the 13mm nut, a good earth to the block and a live to the spade connector when you want it to crank, thats it!

    To wet to play outside with the car
    So I have been in the shed and modified the alt bracket so it doesn't catch on the cross member

    All left to do know sort engine earths and get some 12mm bore fuel line.

    And a quick pic of the engine as she is at the mo

    just reduce it down, alot of the bigger pumps are like that. 8mm line will be fine.

    8 mm copper pipe is cheap , sure its ok to use this, paint it with under seal when done . looks tidy.

    Almost there just can't get the bitch to run at the mo
    Starter engages, fuel pump sounding but nothing else is happening! oh well will try some more fettliong in a couple of days.

    Going to check for spark if no spark looks like it could be my ECU not demobilised

    does the fuel pump prime when you switch the key on ? does it then fire up again the moment you start cranking ?

    Yes
    No

    I have the following which from what I thought is enough to get her running constant live, ignition live, fuel pump and starter motor the rest will be just gauges.

    I have plenty of earths

    Re: R5 GTT 172 Project

    i believe that if the ecu hasnt been decoded and u arent using the full 172 ignition system with key and everything then it wont work, the immobiliser will kick in. few people i know run this engine in their clios, i'll go investigate

    Re: R5 GTT 172 Project

    yeah, could be the immo like coops is saying but I wonder if it would even let you prime the pump ? I would have guessed that it wouldn't do anything atall if it was an immo issue. maybe not ?

    do you have a wiring diagram for it ? If you can post it up A) I'd find it quite helpfull since I don't have one and B) I'll go through it and tell you what I think you need to connect to what then you can compare with what you've done already

    I have thought about the ECU itself but it was supposedly demobilised by RS tuning which I am going to call up and see what they say.

    With ref to the wiring the only guide I have got is attached which is an allocationf ECU inouts and outputs most of the work has been done by the use of multimeter, continuity tester.

    172 Fuel pump relay -

    Red - perm live
    Yellow - ign live
    white - output to pump
    violet - trigger from ecu

    According to the cliosport guys it should still crank if the immobiliser is active, just no fuel/spark.

    yes but you said it's priming the fuel pump which tells me that atleast some of the ECU is awake.

    if there was no immobiliser involved I'd have said look at your crank trigger to make sure it's OK and wired up properly, since if this doesn't work you won't get the pump running while you crank nor will you get a spark.

    Re: R5 GTT 172 Project

    Just got some info back on cliosport ref the RS tuning ECU's -

    http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=390305

    Apparently this member has heard of 'issues' with RSTuning decodes. They seem to require an emulator in addition to the decode almost as if the ECU will accept any imobiliser code, but it still needs *a* code, if that makes sense? iirc, both geesus and danlp6 had this issue

    Beanie and I used www.ecuclinic.com and it came back plug and play if it's any use to you.

    I will speak with rstuning ans see what they say if not going to have to get it decoded properly with the ecuclinic

    Starter is turning but no fuel or spark which is apparently what the immobilser does.

    I am now consdering going standalone as I will have to do this in the future anyway just funds at the mo are a little low

    Its a fecking pain in the arse it cost me over £100.00 to get that ECU and now to get it demobilised it's going to cost me over that . Should have gone standalone in the 1st place at this rate. Going to stick with the standard ECU for now and get it demobilised and when I go turbo hopefully go adaptronic.

    it'll have had a hammer through it before I'm finnished with it to be fair, I'm probably just asking a bit too much of it with what I'm trying to do with it and I'd need a top of the range DTA or better before I got anywhere near the features I want. I think I've found a solution to my issue anyway
