ktec filter is made by pipercross. Pipercross filter is dyno proven to be less restrictive than the ITG (which is normally blocked solid with the thick nasty retention oil they use)
I'd expect you to need a set of valves, headgasket set, cambelt kit, water pump, coolant, oil, filters, plugs, and a few other small items. £700 roughly including labour if it's a K7J engine, and there's no piston damage. There WILL be bent valves, what they're suggesting to you is trying a new...
stats open at 89deg
seeing a number of genuine thermostats having the rubber seal around the wax stat section break up, or just pop out of place. Mostly on mk1s so far though.
engine rebuild. If they big end bearings have gone to the extent of causing a seizure, they your crank will be damaged, and you'll have lots of nice metal swarf in the oil gallaries.
I doubt it's that though TBH
sod unravelling it, they corrode internally, rub through on corners, short out inside loom casings.......buy a new loom from Renault, it's not that expensive and a well known fault
bolts are M5 (any fasterer supplier in the country would have told you that ;) )
throttles open to 88degrees and not the full 90 by design. It's on the jenvey website if you want to take a look. They're not going past center, they're stopping just short. I have a set infront of me now, exactly...
Anything can be done. Things can be made, adapted and bodgeneered to fit. However, if you have to ask how, then I'd suggest you wont be able to do it yourself
with those pipercross boxes, it's more important getting the distance right. Trialed one in a very tight space and because the box was too close to the bell-mouths it was a big restriction, but a sausage filter swapped on was a lot better. I think it was 18bhp difference we saw. With decent...
30mm is a fair clearance. You can even see improvements in places by having a baffle plate closer to the trumpet mouth. the rules are not hard and fast though, it has to be experimented with to find what's best. I would stick with what you have in honesty
proper clips are fitted with pliers like these http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=cv+boot+pliers&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&cid=11895315098151289408&ei=uuRPTdm_HJjgygXY6oz-Aw&sa=title&ved=0CAcQ8wIwADgA#p
Cable ties are 10000000% not suitable, the boots are plastic and not soft rubber, so...
