*cough* I may have done that on my s13

£3 each for quick release battery clamp from a boat or caravan shop. I run them on my red 205 edit. blonde moment, you wanted the bay end

that'll work. Just give a slightly lumpy/jerky transition between idle and driving

ph1 just has a hole for an ICV. not much else that'd cause a problem. This will need an ICV though if it's on standard ECU :)

I've seen 286bhp @ 0.9bar on a 1.8 with a T28, and 294bhp @ 0.8bar on a GT28RS

a 1.4 8v is going to show hugely different boost characteristics to a 2l 16v

It's in a valver anyway. And it's definitely a 2 litre head. Might be a 19 stat housing. Prima built it up years ago originally, I just rebuilt the head

I know the car :) very cool indeed

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project too much for anything good to work in :( I've had a couple that I've shared, but you need to be sharing with people you trust and like. It's so much hastle if you get somewhere big and one person pulls out. Lucky I can do my cars at work now really

probably gauge inacuracy, I've seen more than 200rpm differences between the gauge and the diagnostics readout

mod your current car. Cups aren't all that once you start making changes. Interior is proper poverty spec....ewwwww cloth

exibiting :)

changing to wasted spark isn't the biggest issue, that's relatively cheap. You need control of the inlet cam. It's constantly variable rather than just a switch between 2 positions like the 172/182 runs, and not running this loses huge amounts of torque through the rev range. This is why we...

exhaust housing glowing isn't too unusual, just displays high EGTs....but it's a turbo, you normally map the fueling richer on boosted engines because of this. It's intake air temp I was refering to I've used T28 and GT28r turbos on a lot of engines (nissans 1.8 and 2 litre in the main) Past...

run it at 1.4 bar then ;) it'll happen quicker In honesty I'd be surprised if you could do more than spike momentarily to that boost anyway. The air will be superheated, so you'll gain very little, and the intercooler you have certainly wont be enough in that instance. Bigger turbo will flow...

the internet is for p**n. It's 8mm

1.4 bar is too much for that turbo. well out of it's efficency band, and it wont last. Want more power, you should get a GT28RS

sump plug is an 8mm square. About £6 for the socket from halfrauds

should be able to get one for about £50. I'm quite up for this too, though I'd probably start with the turbo'd version from a mk3/twingo

Ant-Graphics in Carnoiseur Bedford do them

Cyanoacrylate de-bonder to remove superglue. you can get it from RS

Beeniemoo (mk1) FMP_ (Time attack 172) Barron (WOW RB 172) Phil172 (K4m Twingo http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=321649&highlight=twingo ) stevo172-RWD (rear engined turbo'd 172)

got to say I agree totally. modification for me isn't just dropping a bigger standard engine in. Got to love doing what you can with what you have :)

2 actually ;) :D I've heard some main-stealers say it's engine out, but it's really not. We're charging £355.31 until the end of Jan, then £401.32 from Feb 1st for cambelt (inc tensioners) and auxbelt

yes easy when you know how really. do about 2 a week

behind drivers side headlight

wont be the pipe that's causing the light. the canister has a plug on it, have a look and see if it's plugged in

as standard I'd have to say i prefer the 172. 197 is crying out for a turbo, the chassis is fantastic though

what's it out for?

is that to stop the tool fouling the lip on the exhaust pulley? I spaced ours with washers
