Anything is possible , but it would have to be in exactly the right place otherwise the mapping would be wrong , so a section of the bellhousing is perfect for the job , I have done it now , I was contacted by a member on here only up the road from me who had a knackered gearbox I bought for a...

Finally managed to get the engine to the dyno yesterday in plymouth , it will take around a week to do so with the hold ups this week I'm going to struggle to get it back in the car and rolling roaded before christmas now , just seems to be dragging on now and getting fed up of it lol , I cut a...

Just picked up a knackered gearbox off a member on here and its only in cardiff so picking it up in the morning , yes its in the standard position , and is a standard sensor , I'm fitting a standard flywheel which makes it easier if it needs changing , I haven't long fitted a brand new flywheel...

ok great , thanks :D

What time could I pick it up ? or could you leave it in the garden and i'll put the money in an envelope and put it through the letter box and pick it up in the morning ?

perfect , would I be able to pick it up in the morning ?

tidy , how much do you want for it

Sorry don't know what gearbox that is , will it have the same fixing and place for the crank sensor ?

I'm after a knackered gearbox if anyone has one , I'm actually after the top section of the bellhousing as I need to hold the crank sensor in place when it goes on the dyno , so i'm after the top section of the bellhousing to hold the sensor and bolt it onto the engine , does anyone have a...

To put my car on the dyno I need a section of gearbox to fit the crank sensor on and bolt it to the engine , does anyone have a broken gearbox I can cut a section of the bell housing off Cheers Ian

Sitting on the floor waiting for the final bits off Fred , ready to go in the back of my van and off to the dyno :D

sorted the manifold out on the weekend and its a perfect match to the head now Going to take the engine to the dyno is on hold tomorrow as Fred didn't have time to send some stuff I need , hopefully I will get them tomorrow so I can go thursday , times ticking away now and am really hoping to...

The guys name who rewired the car for me is in post 633 , its Gary Owen. The engine is being dynoed by Alvin in Plymouth who does all of John Reads Engines , and plenty of others , he did my Golf engine

Yes injectors would help lol , can you sort me one of your exhausts out and bring it with you ? 172 twin box stealth , to match a 182 manifold. I'm only dropping the engine off this week , as they have not done a 172 engine yet they don't have mounts to fit it to the dyno , so they will be...

Yes that is what I am doing now , but the port in the manifold is smaller than the posrt in the head , i'm welding the groove up , machining it flat and porting the manifold to suit my ported head , and fitting a gasket on Looks all straight forward , just a ball ache ! Will find out in 2...

Yes CNC heads , the ports in the Jenveys are too small for competition use

Found a problem with the Jenvey inlet manifold which I'm sorting out as the engine is off to the dyno on wednesday , they have started machining a groove on the face that mates up to the head which you fit an 'O' ring into , the problem I have is my ports are too big and the manifold needs...

Well the rally has been cancelled this weekend through lack of entries so have stripped the car now , engine and box is out as of last night , so box is going back to SWR for them to sort the gear change issue out , so the Clio cup race car engine , engine loom , Magnetti Marrelli ecu and...

A guy called Gary Owen , he lives about 3 miles away from my workshop , he did the original loom for me , he does quite a few rally cars

if you have only hit and bent one you can change just the one , would be very surprised if it has only bent one , you can fit any make valves in , don't think many standard copies will be as good as an original , and the original ones won't be as good as supertech ones

The car has already given me enough trophies this year , 1st in class and 3rd overall in the Welsh tarmac championship :D

Went down to the workshop to drop it off at the electricians so took a couple of photo's of it looking fresh , pictures make it look a bit orangey , but its a nice bright red If I could figure out a way to fit the engine and box out of my M3 it would certainly shift then lol :D

Why don't you just change the outer cv joint , you could do it without taking the shaft off , should be able to get joints for £20 or so , I just bought genuine GKN ones for £50 each

I got a set of supertech valves direct from the US for just over £200 , when I sent my head off to CNC heads they said the guides were worn and changed them , cost me about £200

Just a quick update of whats been going on with my car , Fred called down this week and delivered my engine , so will be sorting out putting it on a dyno in the next week , Fred's coming along as well so he can play about with the cam timing if needed , had the car back from the bodyshop this...

Its not working on me lol

Please explain this to me how this works :D

It was in one piece when I seen it , we left around midday though , was there much damage to it ? Yeah I seen the tank inside , wondered why it was like that . any idea what spec the engine is , it didn't seem that good considering it was on jenveys , hope mine better lol

No my car is in the body shop having a respray , I might do talbenny in 3 weeks , then pembrey at Christmas with my new engine
