[Jamesstone]

Are right cool, whats the other bracket from? reno part? have you got a part no. for the other bracket, surely you could get a belt from say GSF or camberely auto factors?

7700718613 is the part number for the plated adjuster bracket, do you have the part number for the actual mounting block James, would be interested in doing this myself.

Think I'm using a hallfords 6 groove 825 belt mate.

The brackets are off an R5 GTX but when I was down the scrappie yesterday I noticed the Volvo 480 / 440's used some of the same brackets (typical i had purchased these from Renault before i found out), but then it does use a renault F series engine

The other bracket is off a Renault 5 GTX part number is 8200031832 £44.17 net VAT

Alternator long bolt 7703101094 £3.90 net VAT
The bolts that hold the block bracket on you will need 3 x are part number 7703101073 £1.56 net VAT each

 

[James5_GTT]

Nice one mate, remeber you saying the bracket was only £20 odd right, part no. 7700718613

How were reno about ordering as its gonna be an old part right?

With ref to the Zinc part the number you quoted it took 5 days to arrive as it was on back order but everything else i got next day.

But if you go down the scrappies you may be able to do it alo cheaper than going direct to renault matey.

 

[Jamesstone]

Nice one mate, shall try get down the scrappy next weekend & have a look under the bonnets of a few volvo's & see what there is knocking about

Just another quick one James, could you fit a bigger pulley to the alternator to get the belt to fit right?

 

[Winston]

Looking good james... I will be following the project closely

I normally run a 820mm 6 rip belt with my set up.... but anything around that is cool

You can get the brackets above on many other cars 1.7 volvos, 1.7 R5 GTX and 1.7 R19

 

[James5_GTT]

Well have measured the belt I require and I can just get away with an 825 - 830 mm belt.

Been down to halfords as only place open was unable to get a 6pk825 belt but manage to get a 5 pk 825 version which should be fine no 830's available.

More pics to follow

5pk 825 Alt Belt now properly on

Started putting it all back together

Sprayed the inlet plenium / manifold up and polished the text up (Not the best spray job)

Saw one the other week at a resort called the Vines out in Swan Valley. Must be the only one in WA cos i havent seen one before. In top nick and sat on 17s, very nice.

cool project, but that wrap doesnt look very tight?!?!?!

 

[James5_GTT]

It's a 1 sided sticky type awaiting the arrival of heatwrap cable tyes in next couple of days before it finally goes on LOL.

 

[172Ben]

Awesome project mate!

Whats the material of the standard exhaust manifold, is it stainless steel?

 

[Jamesstone]

looking good mate, how much was the heat wrap & where from? wonder if it could be done while the manifold is still on the car

Not sure how much space you have got on a clio between the manifold and bulk head I doubt it could be done though

No chance. It's a job to be done with a vise and a bucket of water. Getting the wrap wet helps it to stretch and mould nicely. Getting the wrap tight is important as is uniform overlapping (50% overlap on each pass which gives you a double layer all over)

 

[172Ben]

Dont want it to tight though surely? Wont that induse cracking? What i was always told?

 

[Fred@BTM]

awaiting the arrival of heatwrap cable tyes

horrible things!! lockwire FTW!!

has to be tight dude

absolfeckinglutely!!!1 on both counts

 

[172Ben]

Agree on the cable tie things, shite!!

I used chicken wire, bloody brilliant!

I was told not to wrap my tubular manifold to tight so the metal had room to expand a little, it was tight but not proper stretched if you know what i mean.

been playing with the engine tonight got the phase 1 172 loom attached to the engine and attempted to change over the throttle body from the fly by to the cable version only to find that my cable throttle body does not fit???? Does the phase 1 inlet plenum have a bigger throttle body than a phase 2 or have I got the wrong cable throttle body?

 

[James5_GTT]

Just done a search on my dialogys and there is 2 x part numbers for the cable throttle bodies and mine is neither

 

[fuel_slut]

The upper (phelum) ph1 and ph2 inlet mani are different. You need a ph1 upper inlet mani and thinking about it you might even need the lower part, someone on here will tell you.

 

[ashy_gtt]

Aye think you can only get 2 screws in. I use a Phase 1 TB on a phase 2 plenum on mine mate, its not a problem just fit two of the screws to hold it in place then drill and tap 2 x M6 holes in the other side. Jobs a goodun

Ashy you are a star I am just being lazy and couldn't be arsed to drill and tap but it's probably the simplest and easiest way to do it.

(Update pic please ignore the fuel rail cover as that will not be staying, only on to protect it when we get it out of the shed)

 

[ashy_gtt]

Altought looking at that throttle body it looks like the meganne type? I'm sure the clio ones don't have the water cooled / heated section.

exactly the same, just dont put anything on the water pipes

 

[James5_GTT]

Cheers for all the advice much appreciated

 

[James5_GTT]

Well engine is pretty much ready to go into the R5 pending me drilling and tapping the inlet plenium to accept the phase 1 172 TB. (Need to buy a new drill bit as can only find knackered ones

 

[Fred@BTM]

the wiring loom under the injectors is supposed to go above the fuel rail and sits insdie that big lump of ali

Well managd to get the phase 2 plenium drilled and tapped tonight so it would accept the phase 1 Cable TB. Ended up haveing to drill 3 holes as the could only get 1 in (no worries it's all on with new gasket aswell). Off the engine stand aswell now on the crane in the shed ready to go in the car pending some RTOC buddies assistance to carry it to the front of the house and then back onto the crane and into the R5 then I have to worry about the wiring next:S

 

[James5_GTT]

Phase 1 Cable TB drilled and taped to Phase 2 plenum

 

[mini-valver]

You dont need that hose and bolt on the water gallery dude....

 

[James5_GTT]

Engine finally in just not wanting to mate with gtt box will try again tomoz

 

[James5_GTT]

Small update, engine is now under the bonnet just need to wire it up and mate it to to the GTT box properly
