I should be alright with just the cable from box to clocks. I'm going for mechanical injection pump , so all the idle is governed by the idle screw on the fuel pump
unless the speedo doesn't work without the wire?
ay? i though it was just a speedo cable , from box ( driven by the gear inside the box ) and the other end just pushes onto the speedo part.
wheres the signal wires go to ?
as the picture shows, does the three connector points at the top look anything like a clio mk1 cluster?
or does anyone have a picture of a mk1 clutster?
ive never come across a connector type like this,, im used to connectors with pins lol.
it can be done for 400 lol. bodge style.
just a cambelt.
head off, new gasket on, head back on.
refill with coolant and now become the worse engine ever LOL
parden the pun but what a flippin doughnut this is turning out to be
How are you ment to fit another engine if you haven't a car to fit it in LOL!
Brings a a whole new Moron to ' an engine /four wheels and a steering wheel is all you need '
Haha , he's become an expert of talking that dti lump out. One min it's in and next he's taken it out again !
That intercooler is one big fucker ! What's it off?
You think the electrics are bad in 172's. Go buy a 2004 Citroen C4 and then tel me which is worse....
Yellow looms and just yellow, break for fun aswell
I'llkeep you in mind, found a lad stripping his valves rep down to put the engine and a few other parts into his resprayed valves shell.
hopefully get his rep she'll off him with the valves bits still on it
* VALVER. f**king iPad!
I hate how much electrical crap is on my mk2.
And the fact I like the more retro type square body.
So hardly any electrics + one near mechanical controlled derv will do me nicely as a project :)
i'll go through it methodically,not planning on shoving the engine in and off I go lol.
yes :rasp:, 200bhp heaps of torque ? now that's crazy. I have a dti engine sitting here doing feck all so might aswell put it to use.
depends which DT engine. the one I have is from a mk2 ph1 1.9 DTi (...
I might not even run an ecu, the pump is the old style chip controlled version, which can be swapped out for a 306 TD Bosch pump.
Then if I want revs , I'd have to do it old school and convert the alternator signal for it.
so that leaves , pump stop switch / glow plugs and other silly little...
I know my dti engine has a ph1 jc5 box.
Hole in the top but unsure if that's the hole for the speedo gear.
( hopefully the mk1 clocks will be near bang on calibration for speed indication)
Its wether the rest of the parts I have fit, ie 172 front suspension set up. Mk1 subframe looks...
Throw it into fifth and dump the clutch with handbrake/brakes on. Will stop It from running off. Unfortunately it may destroy the engine
only other way is block the inlet off but you won't have time to react
