So after being to the JAFFA a stages at Pembrey Circuit at the weekend, I seen the 1600cc class and it was fairly strong, in particular a B16B Civic which has 185bhp straight out of the crate, without any mods what so ever. If this is a route I want to go down then I'm going to have to think...

Russ has done it all before remember, but I personally follo diagrams, worked for me. Find a device or connector then trace it all the way back to the end point. Test at the end for clarity!

Tonight was a good constructive session on the car! All the dash removed and I beagn to strip the loom as much as I possibly could. Everything went including Airbags, all redundant wiring, electric wiring for the windows, wing mirrors, all the central locking loom. Next up is to sort the...

Looking good Russ I've been at it with the loom today pretty much removed the same as you, Airbag,Audio, all door wiring and central locking

So this is the route I think I'm going to go down now! Main reason being I feel pretty at home with the K4M engine and know very little about the F4R! It's the Twingo 133 Engine and with some Cat Cams, Exhaust System and Remap I've seen proven results of 163bhp. That would be more than...

Good evening mate nice to see what you have done there! I like the look of the inlet plenum and f4r injectors. I think this is going to be similar as to what I want to achieve. At the moment my head is saying use the 133 twingo and modify it to include, new high profile camshafts, lightened...

Had a successful evening tonight on the Car. Front end is pretty much where I want it to be. Looking at prepping the engine bay next for a lick of paint. Looking at doing the whole front end in white, which will include gravel paint under hearth the arches. Removed all the ABS system and pipe...

Get some pics up mate! Be good to see what's going on with your project

Finally got the engine dropped tonight. After much hinting managed to find engine code K4M 774. It felt really strong and pulled well, before I pulled it apart. Looking and thinking of the best p, cheapest and most reliable route. At the moment the plan is to sort the suspension out, get it...

That would be brilliant mate thanks a lot. Ideally small single venues I would look to be doing. I'll be honest don't know much about the 172 so something I will look into and do my research but it quite clearly makes sense to put that in. As for engine wise any recommendations CAMS, headwork...

The only thing putting me off this mate, is the changing of ECUs and the wiring side of life, however seems like the most cost effective route

Cheers mate for the advice, the only reason being I'm not too clued up on the F4R engine. What sort of management would I need to change to run this sort of engine?? I'm guessing there's a major difference in set up compared to the K4M. By changing to an F4R I recon that would probably be a...

How much did this one end up costing you in the end mate??

Yes mate 6 point cage as a minimum, I think I will go for the cross door bars aswell, added side protection.

Asked the question on twingo website to see the compatibility of their clio k4m 1.6 16v engine. As its 133bhp from standard as far as I'm aware

So as per the title looking to remove my ABS on my k4M 1.6 16v rally build. I've seen a few different people have mixed reviews about this, however I'm going to give it a go and see how I get on! All lines will obviously need replacing so, im going to do this by replacing them all with braided...

A bit more work done today, removed the left hand side hub, all coolant hoses. Looking at a few possible different routes at this time! Do I go for a quaife LSD, do I go for a full engine rebuild. Do I remove ABS and go full braided fuel and break lines inside the car? if so can I just replace...

Bit more progress tonight on the old girl! Air con completely removed. Alternator removed Radiator removed Engine drained of fluids, so hopefully within the next week or two when my engine crane arrives I'll have it out for a rebuild! Basically the whole front end will get inspected and mostly...

Good luck mate I will be watching with interest for the updates. I'm building a 1600cc K4M for single venue rallying. Just started it last weekend, and still in the stripping process.

This was the state of play end of the weekend got a fair bit done however. Started to hit a few rusty nuts and bolts halting progress

So yesterday I removed the wings, to inspect the arches, not too bad one the whole shell is really strong and no rust at all. Just looking to remove the suspension, springs, ARB, subframe, and hubs to start with. Then will be treating these items and potentially powder coating them. All of...

Evening all, I'm looking at building a K4M engine with some upgraded parts to include, Cat Cams, lightened flywheel, some head work, and an inlet solution. Just checking the compatibility of other parts available and other solutions open to me. It's for a 1600cc Rally car, on a budget.

That's exactly what I'm after, looks a cracking job done there mate

Apologises mate forgot to mention it's fully stripped out, and had a lot of interior cut out, I'm gonna Plate the sunroof aswell at some point. What you building 172/182 I'm guessing?? Thinking of putting the K4m twingo engine into it, with some cams a remap and 4-2-1 manifold people recon...

I'm after some advice really gents. I have a k4m Clio 1.6 16v engine and looking at swapping it for the twingo 1.6 K4m 16v engine. Just a better starting point for my 1600 rally project. Is there any size differences, does it need a different ECU to run it or are they a simple plug and play...

Gents I'm wanting to price up a bolt in roll cage for my Mk2 clio rally build, guessing the best audience to ask is on here, I'm aware that I need to weld a 3mm plate under the feet as per MSA regs, however I've seen so many different versions. Any good or bad experiences???

I'll be looking to remove AC and maybe PAS this weekend hopefully, Then getting the car up on the Jacks to inspect underneath. Basically inspecting Arches, all subframe and suspension parts

Happy days cheers mate, I'll do a bit of digging

What's the score here then mate? Seems a decent little engine that was in the twingo. Is this just a straight forward swap, or does the ECU need to be replaced or remapped etc! Seems a pretty decent option open to me aswell

Looking at building a 1.6 16v K4m engine for use in single venue rallying. I'm looking to go down the route of the following: Head skimmed Head ported and polished An inlet plenum New valve seats cut and ground New valves A set of CAMs unsure as to which ones yet And a REMAP if this can be...
