Quick Question.....

[Nick16v]

As most of you know, i am putting the f7p in my 1.4 clio, wen i was told that it was reasonably simple to do and that it wudnt be expensive either, i thought i wud go ahead with it, but it seems that there are lots more problems with doing it than first expected, i was given a parts list to get for the engine and parts to run the engine, so i have spent a shed load on parts for it, and today, wen i got a call from my friend that is doing the conversion, to say that today he tried fitting the fuel pump and filter to the car, they wudnt fit, cos there is too many pipes coming from the fuel pump which should go to the fuel tank, but because its a 1.4 fuel tank, it doesnt have a reserve tank, ive been told, and there should be extra wires on the loom to go with a 1.8 16v fuel tank....

So i was just wundering, is there anyone else on this forum that has done wat im trting to do atm, and if so wat problems did u have and how did u get around them????

Wish i hadnt of bothered doing the conversion now, with teh money i have spent could have probs bought a mint williams and a mint valver.....

Any help wud be much appreciated

Cheers
Nick

try asking over on retro-renault as well. I've spoken to chris on there about this before and he can tell you exactly whats what with the fuel pump etc.

[stan]

fit a 16v tank

[northy]

thats what i would do stan.

Get on ebay and look for a full 16V tank !

[Nick16v]

Yeah, well the person thats doing the conversion is hopefully in the next couple of days taking the fuel pump somewhere to see if they can play with it and try and adapt it to wat i have at the mo, otherwise, its a whole new 16v fuel tank, reserve tank and loom ive been told?

[stan]

no, you just need the 16v main tank.

why would you need a new loom??

[Nick16v]

i was told that cos i only have a 1.4 loom, my mate has got all the wiring diagrams for sorting the loom out, for the 16v tank, pump and that there are other wires to the loom or something, cant remember exactly wat was sed but a loom was put into the equation if i needed to buy a 16v fuel tank.....

Very strange,
Mine was running on a 1.4 fuel pump for about a week, then i changed it for the valver one, straight swap! Had issues what so ever. I was told the wiring was different but then when i came to change it it was he same, so just used the existing wiring.
