Renault F4R on a V44 box

Hello!

I'm about to start wiring my project Clio Mk1. It has an F4R engine (Clio 182, on-off VVT) and on the vehicle specific notes it says to wire the cam sensor? As far as I know, that car runs off the cam, with VVT on a switch. Am I thinking it wrong?

Also, I am running fairly big cams, would anyone have a base fuel map based on TPS? I would like to start it fairly ok, as I want to run in the cams and rollers

Thanks

I dont know these engines well as it is not common in NZ.  Typically though the Clio engine has a crank sensor on the flywheel and some have a cam sensor some dont.  The info we have suggests those that have VVT will be a fully variable type.

Hi Adam. The one I have (172/182) has no cam sensor, that's why I was asking. It has a crank sensor on the flywheel, and the VVT is a solenoid that turns on around 1500 until 5500 to advance the cam 16 degress, and then OFF again until redline. Not really variable.

Also, I just saw a typo where I said it runs off the cam... I meant the crank.

It's just that the instructions confused me with the extra sensor I don't have :D

The trigger mode "Renault Clio 2 RS" does not require a cam sensor.  Im not sure which instructions are confusing you, but the trigger 2 settings still need to be set as per the engine specific information page even though there is nothing connected. Setting it to hall with pull-up on makes the input more resistant to stray electrical noise.  The ignition needs to be  wasted spark and fuel multipoint group if no cam sensor.

We call the 2 state cam control "CAM-Switched" in the v series.

Ok, that makes sense then. That's the bit I didn't get, why I had to set that trigger 2 if there was nothing connected.

Thanks!
