No you cannot. The 5k is nothing to do with the VVT. It's simply where the engine starts to become a little more efficient naturally.

massive repect for tuning the DCi. Fun times ahead :)

a credit to the guys brakes tbqfh! still though, shocking.

WOW i've missed out on this thread. REALLY want a bora now. also really interested in a 190E cosworth. God damn these cars are cool

are they not both JB bell housings? don't recall the starter being on the front of a 1.2

I'd say no personally. But check that your surfaces are not warped.

ah it's all gettin a bit controversial now. :D

and relax.... V8COCPyB-go

Edit, just saw above. No, the 1.2 doesent have ABS, the owner reckons the speedo is a gbox sensor and not a mech cable. So working on that assumption, and the assumption the ratios are fairly similar (which they are) and the assumption that valver gearboxes are piss weak anyway.......... give...

440? defo the 480, and the 460? 480 is the REALLY cool one that volvo clearly wanted to look like a spaceship. They are identical in all 3 cars, and renault F block (same as valver/willy) engines and "not normal developments" has just quoted a really interesting few paragraphs about them. Do...

that's true. the valver pipe setup is kinda a 4-2 manifold and a 2-1 downpipe. Williams is 4-1 manifold 1-1 downpipe.

the Challenge is not to cringe at these sLQgs3GumS8 k1dCznjQ5bA 4uzN0NGmRDI

yes and iirc it's 3

there is no doubt about it, R5 turbos are the messiest engines in the world! good conversion, get it done. lil bit annoying not having fuel injection. alternatively, volvo 1.7 turbo.

defo mixed opinions. BTW is the supersprint a 4-2-1 that cut's out the downpipe? Not sure i've ever seen one......but that's how i'd design it:cool:

There is a lot of debate about the MK1 manifolds. Supposedly the williams have their advantages, but I think the valver one is a little better. Either way, they are interchangable so the supersprint will bolt on to and F7P or an F7R, which is good news for you :)

good lil read that ^^

cool conversion indeed and cheap as chips too :) The valver engine can come with everything or nothing Want to use, Valver ECU, Valver loom, valver exhaust manifold and downpipe (hoping it lines up and bolts on - if not, ghetto grinder and MIG time) By wiring issues I mean getting the engine...

Took the light off. Dried it out nicely inside. Found water in the ballast pack connector :( Dried all that. refitted. "Swing and a miss" :( Need new ballast as bulb looks fine. Puddles FTL

1.8 16v F7P out of a MK1 clio into a 1.2 MK2 Ph1 just a few questions. How will/won't the exhaust line up? What are the wiring issues? Intending to use the 1.2 gearbox (bit ghetto) but the valver box is not strong anyway. This means we can keep the original speedo setup. Anyone see any...

lets get things straight Ballast Starter Amplifier These are ALL the same bloody thing arent they?

I Just got off my parking fine :) Showed them a temporary residents parking permit for the date and time along with a really nice letter and they cancelled it. :)

a big big big NO

I'll try that tonight, hopefully it'll do the trick. Not too confident though. It's my own fault for not getting a new wheel arch liner quick enough. that'll "learn" me

don't spose anyone has tested the standard internals to destruction have they? I reckon it'd take 300 atf on supercharger power

most important thing about buying trolley jacks is what car(s) you can get them under and how high they will lift em Min and max height of the saddle.

I buyeco seem quite cheap sometimes. No reports as such tho. Aparently librarians are some of the cheapest to insure.

I would estimate about 9:1

So one of my xenons stopped working last night after hitting a pretty big puddle. Heres the story Hit Puddle Pretty sure xenon went out almost imediately after Pulled up at home, realised that the glass is misted up, clearly small amount of moisture inside:S Tried the light again this morning...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Mouth, Out, Wash ;) it didn't do that from factory and none of mine have once properly sorted
