mk1 1.8 lump
- Thread starter couzens
- Start date
ValverInBits
F3P 1.8 8v - probably not, but a similar lump to the volvo turbo lump so someone will know something
F7P 1.8 16v (valver) - Yes, theres a rally car in project threads, theres an F7P turbo about to go into a MK2, theres more too. Straightforward tbh. 137bhp, or williams F7R 150bhp and plenty more torque.
Edit: Re post#2 - the only real point would be that valver engines are cheap cheap cheap. £50-100 per engine sometimes with a box. Tops of £200-250 for something running cams or something

im putting one in mine as there cheap. 130 pounds for extra 50 bhp plus there quite tunable e.g putting a 2.0 megane bottom end on. Mine isent in yet just sourcing mounts.
Only thing im worried about is the wiring but my mechanic is confident he will be able to do it

i cant find this one in the project threads that has been done before second time ive read this ive been searching for over a hour
R5 GTT EFI Clio.
I cant find it either Olly, although my engine is coming along nicely,
Was speaking to a dude on here and he said the best thing to sort wiring on the fuze box there is a big connection that goes to the engine, he said to go the scrappy and cut one off with plenty of wiring left connected to it, (just the plug with wires going into it) sort the wiring to that plug before dropping the engine in, drop it in, plug it in, and bingo, sounds easy but the wiring looks tricky.
I am dropping a F7P turbo lump in my PH2mk2 when it is built,
Olly you managed to get any pics of your build yet?

ive got mrk 1 engine mount, the top left one if looking in the engine bay.
Not sure what else i need im confused. Ive got a mrk 1 dogbone, but think im missing a mount as i cant see were it fits to my gearbox/ r5 box basically same as a valver one i think.
Also doesnt the engine have another mount?

Its alright Olly, i know how busy it gets LOL, i am using the 172 box with mine, as far as im aware can use the mk2/172 top gear box mount (battery mount as its called??) mk1/valvr/f7p top mount, and mk1 bottom mount to go to the drilled sub frame, not sure about the dogbone,
Thats for the F7P engine anyways,

ye i think i need the mount that goes to the drilled subframe and i think the 172 mount is differnt from my 1.2 as the one ive currently got wont bolt onto the r5 box so need to get that. And then i need a bit that goes onto my gearbox for the dogbone to connect to.
Thought i had it all fuking hassle lol. still got the wiring to tackle. At least engine is all built up and ready to go

Yeh, i think i can use the mount from my 1.2 box as the 172 box has the same mount pickup point, i have the valver mount on its way from f0xy, already have the subframe mount, just need to buy the rubber part that sits between it and the subframe.
Quite worried about space tbh, and not sure what running gear i am going to need, im looking forward to the wiring for some strange reason, going to the scrappy soon so hoping to sorce some bits like battery box ect and move it to the boot ready, Getting there slowly, need to find a job though big time.

ye ive got a few bits from scrappy, and was going to ask foxy for the mrk1 mounts damm you lol.
If i didnt need the car daily i would of started work and proberly ended up doing the wiring myself.
But because i use the car it cant be off road for no more then a week start to finish.
What is making it really hard for me, otherwise it would be done by now.
Contenplating whether to get insured on my brothers bmw whilst i do it, the only problem is i chose this conversion as its a lot cheaper then the 172 but its starting to build up.

I know it builds fast dont it LOL
I need to get a battery box, a bmw connector so everyone tells me is the best opton, and a few other things for the battery relocation, and some cable, got a mate to give me a hand as he is intrested in this build so thought why not
extra pair of hands aint it lol!
Cant wait to get my crank in ect now, mount should turn up after weekend will get that bolted back on ect
Just want to sort the bottom end so i can get the head back on as i have a brand new gasket ect and head bolts, and most the stuff for the top end!
I have decided, being as i am turbo charging mine, i am going to use the audi/vw 1.8 20V turbo manifold, means i am going to have to make a adapter plate that bolts to my head, then audi manifold bolts to the adapter plate, f0xy very kindly sent me a used exhaust gasket that my father can use as a template to machine me a adapter plate, only thing i am worried about is 1 or 2 of the studs on the audi manfold is gonna be ontop of some of the ones on the adapter plate,
But getting there slowly

yeeer sounds good mate, im know thinking of bolting my f7p top end onto a f7r williams/megane bottom end for the extra grunt and low down torque.
