well u can expect the engien to rev quicker, but on gear changes the engine revs will fall away a alot quicker. also when driving up hills, the power will drop off more. parking will also be a problem, as low down torque decreases. personally, id leave the flywheel alone, and stick on a stronger...

i hooked up my cold start injector to an interior flick switch today. at anything below 2k revs at part throttle it stalls the engine, but once past that and got plenty of air, it pulls better. keeps reving all the way to the limiter. keeps powering all the way. worthwhile mod i think for the...

okay, rite my 19 16v is working like a charm right now. the gasflowed head goes nice. i can buy some piper fast road cams for 145quid, but before i spend my hard earned, i wanna know, is it really worth the money. can you actually feel the performance when compared to before. does the power kick...

i beg to differ!!!!!! ive got my standard airbox on my valver, with 100mm diameter flexible tubing from the bumper grill to the airbox. it is sealed totally. the torque of the engine at speed has improved loads. ive had this setup on and off for the past year, as well as pooey induction kits...

could very well be an air leak after the throttle. check the injector to head o ring seals, as these can leak and let air into engine, which makes it idle slightly higher. jimbo

barry, where did u get the turbo exhaust manifold from?? i know elia tuning in germany sell them, but they are like 400quid!!!!! what other components are you running? is it high or low pressure turbo? jimbo

if anyones interested, the 19 16vs and clio 16vs(i think??) came with two types of fuel injector-bosch greens and bosch yellows. the yellow injectors flow more fuel, thereofre if uv got nitrous, or serious breathing, then the yellows are the way to go. jimbo

save your money and use the orginal airbox. remove the existing tubing, and use some tumble drier(100mm diamter tubing) running from the front of the car to the airbox. the main concern with this approach is "lag" and rubbish throttle response. this is compensated with the largish airbox the...

the 1.8 head will bolt directly to the 2litre bottom end no probs. 1.8s and 2litres use the same head gasket as well. the clio willy head has higher lift cams, an extra .4mm and extra duration. from wat ive been led to beleive, the valves aree also bigger, but ive bin workin on my gasflowed 1.8...

just noticed that u had ur valver moddified by hp. wats the power delivery like now after the head work? any loss of power low down from the cams? where does the power kick in now? it was piper cams that wer used rite? im gettin a gaslflowed head in the enxt week or two, and i am still...

well, a few months ago, sum1 i new asked nick hill bout using the block of a 1.8 as a donor to all of the internal gubbins for his nakered williams engine. nick sed it would work real good, and he could still use the original starter motor!! so the block isnt the problem at all! if u read the...

exactly!!!!! the f7r engine is an f7p with a wider bore, .7mm, and a longer stroke. the block is exactly the same, just a different crank is used. cus the same principle is used in the 1.4 and 1.6 energy engines. the 1.6 has got a longer stroke, becus its uses a different crank! jimbo

the crank adds the extra 10mm stroke to the bottom of the piston movement. tdc stays the same height, its just the piston moves further down the bore an extra 10mm. well if u look in the willy mag review section on this site, u will see an article from ccc a few years ago, sayin how the willy...

a longer stroke crank will give u more torque thruout the rev range, due to extra leverage provided by the stroking of the engine. u get an extra 10mm travel per cylinder with the 1.9 crank. the only need for a re-chip would be for use under full throttle, cus thats wen the ecu runs from its...

the 16v has a bore of 82mm, whereas the willy has a bore of 82.7mm. after few thousand miles both bores would be similar!! the 1.9 crank is only 1.9 cpacity becus in the diesles the bore is only 80mm, in the willy the bores are wider. with the near 83mm bore and 93mm stroke(10mm up on the...

go down to ur local breakers, and find a 1.9 clio or 19 diesel engine. hand over a few notes, then take it home. the bit ur after is the crank, bin the rest. then pull out the 1.8 crankshaft from ur 16v, stick in the diesel crankshaft, and voila, uv no got a clio williams engine-well of sorts...

yeah well i dunt fancy takin the head off, too much work!! gunna be doing the cams with the head in situ. i dunt want big power, just a new top end, and if it gives me a bit more grunt, then i ent bothered! jimbo

yeah, i mite get the cams first, stick them in,see how it goes. if it runs poo, then il invest in some verniers, tho 170-odd quid is alot to swallow, for some fancy ally!!! jimbo

nah id disagree there im afraid. superchips and all them kinda thigns are gimmicks!!! they get hold of a standrard ecu map, and fiddle roudn with it, advance iggy timing here, and increase fuelling there. and most importantly increase the rev limit! thats where the dastek is different. its...

yeah well these cams are 190quid for the pair, cus theyre re-profiled ones. the group n cams are 500quid!!machined from blanks. from what ive read, udotn need vernier pulleys until u start pushing 276degree plus duration. and these cams are only mild really. id use some verniers, but at 170quid...

in basic mods i mean airfilter(with a cold air ram pipe) and a decent exhaust. the unichip is mapped to that very engine, the car spends about 3hrs on the rolling road!!! the ecu is mapped every 250rpm, and at varying throttle positions, therfore squeezing the max amount of power and fuel...

if uv got a 172 then i wouldnt bother with a super chip or any type of "hacked" code. cus thats all "chips" r, just fiddled with code from the manufacturer. wat u really want for optomum perfromance is a piggy back ecu, like the dastek unichip. this is fitted to ur car, and is perfectly...

cheers for the reply mate! ive just noticed that nick hill uses the piper cams for his conversion, thats the fast road cam, so im tempted to go with that. the kent cam seems to be a little weird, in that the duration is actually less than the standard cam???????? surely that would bring peak...

i think ive found out what the durations and valve lifts are for the standard 16v camshafts. these are group N specs, but from what i can gather, group N is the same spec as production components, just to a higher tolerance. these are from piper; duration= 260degrees valve lift=...

well the 1993/94 19 16v touring car made 276bhp at 8000rpm. that was using the f7p engine. that was using larger valves(32mm inlet) superwild cams, and roller-barrel throttle bodies-with ram effect!!! other cars at the time were all 2litre in that class. in the dry it didnt have enough power...

rite then! has anyone got the above fitted to there engine in there clio? wat sort of perfromance increase do u get? does low down torque suffer at all? i want some for my 19 16v, and im tryin to get as many opinions from ppl, whov got them as possible! cheers ppl! jimbo
