- Thread starter James5_GTT
- Start date
R5 GTT
Gearbox was still in the car so engine was going to mate up with it, sorted now left 1 of the locating studs on the GTT box all good now
There's not much space:lolup: (Excuse the state of the rocker cover and fuel rail cover)

Nice one mate, wait till you get a turbo on it, it'll be tight then!!
Suprised you mated the engine and box up in the car, must of been a right pain, I've always fitted them together out of the car and dropped it in as one unit!
How long until its up and running do you think?

Thought I had it all sorted when the gearbox was in the car but it turned out I did have to remove it all and put it together out of the car now all back in and mated up properly, just drive shafts, exhaust d/p, wiring, bonnet to do.
Should hopefully be up and running in N/A form in Jan
R5 GTT
Not to much to go now spent tonight doing the following:
1) Fitting the driveshafts on both sides,
2) Modifying my powerflow sidey to match the 172 modified ex manifold,
3) Filled gearbox with oil,
4) Filled engine with Mobil 1,
5) Fitted clutch cable,
6) Fitted accelerator cable (what a ball ache should have done it with the engine out
),
7) Replaced front brake pads,
Things left to do,
1) Re-wire (may take some time),
2) Relocate brake fluid resevoir to bulkhead,
3) Top up brake fluid,
4) Install 172 rad & coolant setup,
5) Bonnet needs humping & re-spraying (to allow inlet manifold fitment),
6) Give the car a bloody good wash,
7) Can't think of anything else just yet but I am sure there will be something else.

Looking good mate, nearly there! The F4R Mk1's go well enough, so this should be epic. I'd break from the norm and go ITB's instead of a turbo though

I doubt you'd get the bodies to fit!! They'd hit the rad!

Not with a shortened one and the bonnet is prime for 4 50mm holes

Its not the bonnet I'd be worried about its the radiator!! I doubt you'd want 4 holes in that :dead:

Use a shortened one that sits under the trumpets.
R5 GTT
I have thought about ITB's but am defo going the turbo route when more funds allow.
R5 GTT
Well done some more rocker still needs a clean but at the mo just wanting it in and running. (awaiting an R5 16v humped bonnet as i can't close the bonnet with the inlet plenium on)
standard 172 rad and fan (tight fit) I think a slim line fan might be in order

Been to cold to play outside with the R5 so been tidying up the phase 2 plenium with a good sand down and a lick of paint.
BG 182 FF
stunning 5 m8y, bet it will be a tight fit 2ltr engine in the 5's bay. Have you fort of throttle bodies?
An regards to the turbo size I know a lad with a punto gt an he had a t25 on that an its a 1.4, and i fink he put a downpipe on aswell an the turbo lag aint to bad. So in a 2ltr an a car the weights lyk a feather it should be fun fun.

I should hope he had a downpipe, lol.
James, have you had the plenum bolted to the car?? The 182 plenum's are different to 172 ones, I'm not sure if phase 2 plenum's are different to ph1's, too.
Looks pimp either way!!

ITB'd MK1
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

Thought there'd be a difference somewhere. Couple of the VTS boys are using ph1 TB's now and just winding the idle screw out as the VTS TB has the ICV incorporated.

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

Aye, the 172 TB has the tiny hole which passes under the butterfly too so shouldn't be too bad TBH,
R5 GTT
Yeah the plenium has been bolted to the engine as it came with the engine I am using. That's not a problem the only reason it is not on the engine at the mo is the fact that I can't close the bonnet with it on. So am awaiting my new 16v humped bonnet (Don't like these but it's the only way around it) to arrive.
I am defo going the turbo route not itb as I love the turbo kick and am thinking of going with the old VNT turbo when I do go turbo
only concern with this for me is the mapping with the VNT but i am sure it can be done.
R5 GTT
Spot on matey and used a heatproof metalic lacquer

Update pics from tonight, yep thats right I have been out in the bloody cold

I would stay away from the VNT mate, theres no easy way to properly map arround the chnages in VE that you get with the VNT. Theres a thread about it on RTOC under projects "Turbo Toaster"... Worth a read before you decide
