Mine opens itself because it's that flimsy! Lol! No mate, you've also hit the nail on the head with what others are thinking too regards the oil pressure heating the oil at the same time. This is the area that will be addressed before I blow over £250 on the larger laminova or an air to oil...

It just looks so busy mate with the itb setup. Lol! I don't think I'll ever be swayed tbh. Ah right ok fair enough. The general thought on mine is that the oil pressure is so high (100psi @ 4K+ rpm) that it's being pumped through the cooler too quick so it's not effectively removing the heat...

Lol you'll have to mate because unless there was a proper set of itbs available to suit the 197 head (I'm talking 48's not poxy 45's) it's staying on the standard inlet and maxi evo airbox. Yeah it definitely goes well enough with my car being so light, and tbf, there's a decent amount of...

Nope. Not even slightly interested. Ever. If you'd driven it how it is now you'd understand why. Itbs or boost would just make it the same as every other Clio out there as well. This is WAY more unique.

Lol! I'll be calling you shortly anyway. :up:

YYYYEEEESSSSSSSS! Great news mate! Looks fantastic too!

Happy days mate! Yeah done the search and found the info on the reset. Job for tomorrow!

Where did you read about the reset mate? Glad you're happy with the box as well! I assume the other delivery was successful???

I also have this with mine! Lol

So today was the day that I collected the cup from EFI Parts. I had a brew and a chat with scoff then it was time to head back home and take the cup for mot! It's f**king hilarious - no other words can describe it! Lol! Even the slightest bit of provocation of the pedal and it's off and gone...

Now appearing on EFI Parts Facebook page!! https://m.facebook.com/efi.parts/

I have some standard 182 and 172 stub axles I can measure, but I just had these made instead. En24T and a bigger rear wheel bearing for reliability. Uses a standard off the shelf disc as well.

Enjoy them buddy!!! Even expensive couriers lose parcels mate, or should I say, leave a parcel in a unsafe place (which has now gone missing!) and then forge a recipients signature!! Needless to say, I'm properly fucked off!!

Cheers! I'll know the answer to the brake question at the end of the week. :up:

I think I recognise it mate. I used to prefer Billing to the other shows

So what car did you have then mate? I might recognise it Lol! She cost me another £175 last Thursday for an emergency appointment out of hours. 🙈

Ah right ok. I did the shows but not the forums back in the day. Lol! Didn't they mug some people off? I remember them disappearing, but not the reasons why.

Cheers Rich! Not a lot tbh mate. Just matched it all properly and then gave it a good polish. Yeah the cams are in Scoffs words, 'radical'. Lol!! There's some pics of it a few pages back mate. Annoyingly I have none of the engine bay though. Did you used to go to the Vauxhall shows then?

It could be the retainer for the selector hub has worn/lost its tension mate. There isn't really much else it could be tbh.

I'll definitely be getting some enjoyment from it now mate. I've got the pms shifter to fit, but other than that it'll be getting driven and enjoyed. Cheers! Yeah it was a nice feeling seeing it make the numbers and stay in one piece. As for what the future holds, who knows mate. For the time...

@George@RTR_Parts will be the best price you can find for these.

Ok so seeing as it's now making some proper hp, I thought it's time to dig out the gearbox oil cooler. This is another leftover item from off my Astra build. It's tried and tested and proven to work, and let's be honest, the jc5 needs as much help as it can get! Lol! Just a case of where/when...

Yeah he did mate. It would be the genuine R3 maxi evo stuff I'll buy if I do progress this anyway as its all tried and tested in this engine. Yeah it's looking favourable, but not 100% confirmed yet. With a wife that'll be 26 weeks pregnant, she may have other ideas.

Lol!!

It delivers the same torque as what I've got now in maxi evo spec as well.

And yes, I have looked into upping the spec. 🙈

I think you could build one like mine for in the region of £6k mate, but to go to the next step you'll be nearer to £10k. The next step is steel rods, crank, solid lifter top end and a different cam profile. That would then see you at maxi evo spec, so a potential 250hp at 8400rpm.

Cheers mate! Appreciate you taking the time to read through it all. I've looked into the costs to take this engine one step further already. Open mind and all that. Lol

Ok so mega multi quote time!! Cheers mate. Not driven it yet, but I'm collecting it soon so I'll report back when I have. Thanks Martin! As above! Might have to do a little video...... Thanks mate! Thanks! Yeah you don't realise how much you've put into the engine/build until you write it...

Yeah there will be some pics mate. This thread will be kept alive anyway as I still have a few outstanding bits and pieces I want to fit/sort. I may fit a gearbox oil cooler at some point as well purely for reliability reasons.
