Re: Ph1 172 Its a KTec recessed exhaust, nice and quiet with two silencers. Got a 182 exhaust trim to fit in the bumper when I get the car back. I think the nicest looking exhaust on the Ph1 is the Pure Motorsport one. Fraser has one fitted I believe.

Re: Ph1 172 Head is now with ALDevelopment in Leeds. Fred is sorting me out with some Supertech valves and I've done a deal on some AT Power ITBs. The ITBs will be in storage for a while though whilst my wife uses the car. I'm in no major rush to get them on this year, I'll do it over the...

With the Fiesta likely getting broken I'd keep the Omex and Jenveys, sort the loom out, get the manifold then BWARRRRRRRP. You know it makes sense!

ITBs

Just Googled it and most threads on it are on the MG Rover forums (surprise surprise!). Best asking on there I think, they probably carry a bottle in the car.

Cheers dude :) if I have no luck I'll give you a PM in a couple of weeks when its going back together.

I'm trying to get some, the garage said they might be able to get them from the local Renault garage as they've done that a few times before. The lad working on it is an ex Renault Sport guy, he's worked on the Williams, 1*2 and in Sweden on the V6s.

Its 2 years old. Metal case, plug is good but it needs wiring it to the standard loom.

Andrew at ALD. There's a thread in the group buy section :)

What's an EC1 ECU worth with loom and CAN controller?

How much are these parts worth? 182 EC1 ECU with Can controller and loom Ph1 cable throttle conversion Ph1 twin barrel cat Ph1 driveshafts (both sides) with CVs

Yes I will do tomorrow. I'm starting to think it'll be more hassle than its worth. I need to stop messing around and get it out on track. I'll give Paul and Catcams a call though to find out the details.

Title is 422, and the first question refers to them. Then I asked a second question if the answer of the first question was no.

Yes they would be better, however its even more cost on pistons and a rebore. Honda VTEC engine run a similar compression ratio and they cope fine with high rpm lairy cams. Granted the dynamic CR will be reduced though. Tbf the catcams 422 are still not that lairy, but are about as far as I'd...

I'm not sure they'd need much. I'll give catcams a call on Monday. They were very helpful and spot on with info when I did a ST170

I've been looking at the Gen90 as the plug and play is appealing I could get the engine place by me to do bigger valve cutouts in the standard pistons for the 422s if required I can't find any dyno data for them to compare with other cams though.

No on other engines. If its pointless I'll leave them.

Obviously some high CR pistons would be nice to make the most of them but will they work with the standard items without the valves touching? If not, how much better are the 421 over the Pipers?

Yeah. I was just looking at replacing the springs whilst they were out, might avoid a dropped valve in the long run. I've had a couple of springs go in the past

PEC. I haven't ordered yet though. I can give you a ring on Monday. Do you do the valve springs too?

Works out at £21 per valve. I'm contemplating some bigger cams, maybe 422 or 423. Does anyone know if they clear the pistons or do they need cutouts?

Then it'll be ready for ITBs and plenty of track abuse ;)

Well its getting a port and polish, Supertech valves, new guides, new seals and Catcams valve springs

Are they prone to wear?

Sending the head off on Monday for a port and polish and some new valve stem seals. The engine runs very well and is on 87k so is it worth doing the guides for an extra £200 (I'm not even sure they need doing) or just get the seals done?

Nice socks! PMS kit looks good too.

Re: Ph1 172 Head off and bottom end looks mint! TBH I'm not even 100% it was even the head gasket leaking. Oh well its off now so get the head freshened up, bolt it all up and crack on with the rest. Shame I'm going to miss the track day, only way I can make it is if I don't go ahead with the...

Re: Ph1 172 I guess so. I'm worried about finding the pistons rings and bearing shells needing doing too when its all in bits. Yeah mine isn't mint enough for me to worry about binning it

Fair play! We've got a D90 and a few lenses but don't know anywhere near enough about how to use it or edit photos :o

Re: Ph1 172 I'm 50/50 at the moment. Could break it and get a minter off here and have some change! Oh I don't know...:(
