Thanks for the advice. Definitely worth a try before completely scrapping a healthy head. Just out of interest. Would there be any issues putting 182 head on a 172 engine?
Yeah thats my worry that the cams binding. Sounds like the head could be scrap to be on the safe side but it just seems a shame with everything else being in tact
Hi,
I'm after some advice. I've been offered a Clio 172 head for my track car build but the rocker cover is damaged and unusable. What are my options here? can I use a rocker cover off a scrap engine or is the head scrap? Seems a bit of a waste if the rest of the head, cams, valves etc are...
Has anyone got any photos of a front mounted oil cooler as well as a front mounted Intercooler please? I've recently purchased an oil cooler to supliment my ED turbo kit but I think the hoses could be to short and may need some new ones making up.
Cheers
A bit more progress last night. Managed to get the turbo, downpipe and intercooler fitted. Lower inlet off and new injectors fitted to the fuel rail. Next job is to pipe it all up.
Turbo and manifold comes preassembled from Engine dynamics so they've saved me a job. Inlets and breather plate are already off as I needed them off to get the old manifold out so sounds like I'm pretty much there apart from maybe undoing the top engine mount for a little more room. Subframe is...
Fit the new heat shield as well. I'll put a few more pictures up as I go along. Turbo and manifold to go on next. How did you find that mate? Tight?
Think im going to send my inlets off to ms custom engineering as well to be Port matched gas flowed and painted while they're off
Hi mate,
Yeah thats another good suggestion. Its only a 15mm hole so shouldn't be to difficult should it. Is that some sort of insert you've used on yours?
