You will need the below parts from a 172:
driveshafts
hubs
ARB
discs, pads, calipers, flexi lines.
F+R shock absorbers
F+R springs
And that's it.
We did the conversion on ph-reebones Dci last year... The only issue we found was the Dci and PH-1 172 ABS sensors used different connectors.
The engine hasnt been built yet... just collecting parts at the moment :)
That was another question I was going to ask regarding the map, once the new engine goes in the spec will be totally different. I was going to call Paul at RStuning and ask about changing the map for running in.
I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters.. not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.
Hi all,
I've had a search but cannot find a definitive answer... What method do you use for running in a freshly built F4R engine (new bores, rings, forged rods and pistons, rebuilt head etc.)?
The engine is boosted, if this makes any difference.
Thanks in advance.
Or contact the company who supplied the exhaust and ask for the full fitting kit?
The above mount you've linked would not work, this needs to be a specific size or the exhaust will sag on one side.
As I said, it goes (bolts) between the chassis and OE rear exhaust mount, it can only fit one way!
A rubber fits on the bracket hanger and the back box hanger.
The plate fits between the chassis and OE rear exhaust mount, it provides additional support for the backbox. It should be pretty self explanatory when looking at the mount and backbox :)
