Yes, clearance around the air horns for a proper sized air filter. You wont be able to fit that with the stock radiator in place and intake air temps will be astronomical and severely affect power output and reliability.
I had heard of zero issues from Adrian until he attempted to fit bodies, especially regarding oil loss. I have only heard of issues since he had attempted to fit bodies and I feel like your simply trying the old 'you touched it last' approach.
If the engine was fubar'd then surely just...
Still waiting on Dav_M, left some PM's and voice mails but not heard anything back.
When discussed with vala, originally everybody was meant to pay up and i make them all in one batch, but this is holding stuff up so i've had to resort to doing them one at a time.
Its always been an issue and i've never liked B&M's shifting quality.
They always shift poorly, increase reach, bang on the shifter tunnel.
Problem might be due to the expansion rates of the materials used and the clearance they give on the ball joint pivot.....it get hot, it gets tight.
The phs2's head is a diff casting and doesnt have the ex ports CNC'd like the phs1's.
Performance is not affected as the engine output is not at a level where the flow ratio becomes a hinderance.
You can have TOO much exhaust flow.
The phs2's ports are also different in their...
Adrians?
It was a stock block with some headwork and cams so I cant really be overly responsable for the condition of the block. It ran perfectly fine on the stock inlet manfiold (184bhp iirc), but he added bodies himself and only gained a tiny amount of power. Why? I dont know, I never saw...
For some reason the host is playing up and the website isnt even working.
email me direct at ben@angel-works.co.uk, the 'info' address kicks away the majority of the mail as junk which is highly annoying.
If your taking the engine apart for forged pistons, i'd just stump up and fit forged rods, it seems pointless to limit the engines potential by running oem rods.
The megane setup is good, but you will need to have the head modified to a good level as it is pretty poor in stock trim.
The...
When you say head gasket, i assume you mean just the head?
Either can be fitted to either block, and in stock trims you wont notice a diff between either block.
If you've got a jenvey kit for the megane head, then you've pretty much had that decision made for you. Just slap it all onto...
As far as I can remember, when you posted your before and after graphs I pointed out there was a corresponding 5 or 6 bhp and lb/ft gain midrange even though there was a 1 bhp peak gain, but you didnt seem too bothered about it.
And I also offered you your money back, but again you didnt...
front pulley tool is diff yea.
Matteh, angle torque and frictional torque methods are completely different, you cant compare the two....but essentially renault with with FT for the cam pulleys lol. Now paste that engine and bed those rings properly!
The inlet cam is indeed 100nm and the ex 30nm + 86 deg +/- a 16 deg deviation allowance.
Angle tightening is used as its generates a more reliable clamping force than most peoples cheap torque wrenches and ill prepped bolts.
You need to use the pulley locking tool to tighten, otherwise...
I know they are part and parcel, thats why i said the only problem might be if your using it for the road and expect significant milage. But saying that, The B20's have a r/s of 1.54 and spin all day long to 10k, make significantly more power and torque than any of the raised deck 2ltr...
