Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Have something in mind to replace the fan unit, Not sure it will work yet but its in keeping with the normal Burpspeed way.

After searching the local breakers yards for a non aircon heater fan & not finding one, I decided to do something different.

Got a mk5 Escort fan unit for £8!

Now the task of making it fit the Clio.

First I cut the top off the clio heater fan inlet, leaving just the base plate to work with.

I cut the original mounts off the Escort fan, Then trial fitted the base plate to it.

First trial fit & I had a slight clearance issue.

Very quickly sorted!

I then drilled & bolted the base plate to the fan unit.

Voila!

The fan overhangs slightly so I made up a little blanking plate so the wind doesn't escape.

The finished item.

All fitted in its New home & wired up. I'm only going to run a one speed (fastest) fan, as its purely for demisting the screen in wet weather. So took off the resistor pack.

Loads of room to the wiper linkage & motor, its all good.

Also the Escort fan is around 1kg lighter than the Clio one! :rasp:

I f**king love this project! Driveway builds FTW. Awesome work mate!

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

A homemade heater that only exists to demist the screen, screw the occupants.

I f***ing love you.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

dude....great work on the fan...but talking from experience the fan will be a total pain, the gf's 206 had only the fastest speed for a long time and it just gets irritating.

however i spose this is really a no holds bared car so may be fine

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Not a massive update but quite a nice weight saving.


Under the engine mount is a useless lump of iron

Or shall i say, there was.........

Hows this then?

Not as heavy as the one on a 182, that is a massive 6kgs!!!

 

[bomber]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

sell it for scrap value lol

 

[Jamesstone]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Sweeet! good work as always burp, will have a looky tomorrow , cant belive how heigh mine is sitting lol, coillys have been removed from the Ph2 & should be on the PH1 this weekend

What exactly does that lump of metal do?

 

[172bagss2]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

+1

That's mad! Why is it there - well done Mr Jay Burp, good find!

 

[Bluebeard]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Jay, you need to get this car weighed!! (I can't spell weighd/waid/weighed!)

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

+1

That's mad! Why is it there

Im guessing its for cutting down vibration or someting. apparently cups dont have them so obviously they are not important

 

[conclio]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

ph- diet lol thats some amount of excess weight removed! turing into an ocd

 

[MarkCup]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Excellent work.

I need instructions...where do I find this?

You haven't got one on the Cup mate, thats how Jay knew to remove it. (post 630)

 

[MarkCup]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Ack. There goes an easy 3.5 kg saving.

 

[Nafoff]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

i need to loose some weight i think.....

think we should meet up jay and do some weight saving on mine....there maybe something in it for you...

 

[dzm]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Burp: Is this easy to remove? Can you do it with the engine and engine mount in-situ?
I've got one on my 182 and might have a crack at removing it.

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Nope, engine mount has to come out coz the bolt is under it.

 

[dzm]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

oh well, cheers anyway.

 

[Jamesstone]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Its a 15 min job to undo it lol


* remove the splash gaurd
* support the engine on a jack
* un-do the 3 main bolts on the engine
* un-do the 4 bolts from the engine mount
* Remove the bugger burpspeed style!

 

[dzm]

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread

Sounds easy, but I have visions of collapsing jacks and engines lying in the street!
