Clio 16v 'YOJ'
Hey guys!
So I was a frequent and militant poster on Clio16Valver, till I sold my F7P converted ph3 RL and bought a mini:
This has/is being turbo converted and if your interested in that then here is the project thread: http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=427404
I then was offered a valver project that had a volvo turbo engine. I always wanted a mk1 clio with a b18ft engine in since one of my friends (REEVIO on C16v) took me out in his, Came along dirty cheap and luckily, my girlfriend let me buy it! Provided I finish the mini first! Hahaha! What a deal!
It comes complete with an ecu thats been "richmodded" it allows the car to run between 170-180bhp
this was also the ecu that was previously used on Reevio's car when it was in standard guise
So heres the pictures:
Car was not drivable at all as you will see, so had it trailored to my house in Cov, heres the day it turned up:
Wiring is a complete and utter state:
But it came with all of these spares:
Heres the whole reason I bought it:
So obviously first things first I had to give it a jet wash:
Emptied all the spares out of it:
Tidy!
Had to put it all back in as there was no where to put it, but atleast it wasnt all chucked in:
So about a week or two passed and realized there was no oil in the engine WTF, better check it wasnt seized luckily it wasnt, so then I had to set about mounting my bucket seats Ive had lying around for years, turned out saxo seat runners could be a winner:
Cleaned the mould off of the top dash:
a few more pictures of the dodgey wiring:
Previous owner SERIOUSLY bodged everything!!!
Got the car on jacks to take the brakes off, check them over etc:
Replaced the solid dogbone mount to the standard jobbie:
So I thought you would all want to see hte wiring:
No wonder it never ran properly!
So I painted the center console black and put in a green fag lighter/12v socket as I want a white/black/green theme with this one:
Put the de-cat on:
And started collecting more volvo parts, I now have enough ECU's to run 4 b18ft engines:
Thats it for now, im about 90% finished with the mini and my gf has promised me enough money to finish it or get it 3/4 finished for my 21st birthday this October!
Comments/Criticism welcome
Cheers!
