MK1 2.0 16v Turbo

[Justin_16vT]

Gunked and jet washed the bay. Also fited RSi heatsheild and new rear enigne mount

still waiting for crossfire nitrous jets

 

[Justin_16vT]

Got bored waiting for the nitrous jest so i have put the lump in with out the inlet manifold attached.

Couple of pics shoiwing the mk2 box mount fits mk1 perfectly

Also the part of the loom was uncovered, unsure why :? so i taped it back up

And some pics of the lump in.

Here shows the bulkhead and turbo clearance. More than enough

Put my rear mount on today, had to chop it down a bit tho for clearance for the Boost pipes. Hopefully it wont weaken it to much :?

Engine is fooking solid now !!!!!
Then its on with boost pipework! It's starting to look the part now and i'm getting excited ! teeeheee

ARrrrgh cant wait!!!!!!

Btw boost pipes are no lower that the subframe, so dont worry yourselfs!!

 

[Gray]

that looks HOT dude

 

[E11OOT]

tight squeeze!

Looking very nice, you should make good power with this

Gearbox's are very hit and miss in my experience, sometimes you get one that lasts for ever and sometimes you kill them very quickly... If the clio ones are no good try a gtt one, I'm currently using a 172 one at the mo but i think 2nd gears on the way out :S.

I think the chaps are right about the injectors too, you'll find they are too small to make anywhere near the power your engine will be capable of producing!!

Have fun

Ashy.

whats up with the clutch?


injetcor upgrades will ome when i get a new turbo.

2 Points

1) I don't think it'll ever be able to cope with the torque you will produce

2) Its 4 puck clutch that means it'll be very on/off in the engagement. Makes setting off a ball ache and it will kill your already weak 172 box and driveshafts.

I can't comment on the suitability of the OMP but I have a 4 paddle AP 215mm plate in my 172 turbo engine, I've maxed out 500cc injectors at 1.6bar of boost, it makes about 280lb or torque and 350hp, the clutch does not slip. I've used 4 paddle plates in different engines for years, they've never been on/off to drive aslong as you use a sprung center plate.

good luck with the conversion. Scoff.

 

[Scoff]

As said you will reach the limit of those small injectors pretty quickly, at a guess no more than 240hp, even that will be well past 80% duty. But ofcourse, I don't know anything about your turbo spec of your power goal. Scoff.

Wow that looks fantastic (awaits more pics)

 

[Mark One]

good work mate. Where did you source the boost pipes from?

 

[Justin_16vT]

all from ebay in universal intercooler kits cut to req'd lengths

 

[GazM]

You said you went out to work in hamburg, don't work for Airbus do ya? (long shot )

 

[Fred@BTM]

you should fit the clutch fork from a 172, much lighter clutch pedal then!

 

[Justin_16vT]

i have heard of that but it messes around with the clutch pedal position from reading other peoples experience

 

[Justin_16vT]

You said you went out to work in hamburg, don't work for Airbus do ya? (long shot )

No but i saw one of the new ones coming into land from where i was working ( Blohm & Voss Dockyard ) It was ferking huge and seemed to be flying really slow! :S but that i guess was due to its size and how far away it was! couldnt believe the size of it

 

[Justin_16vT]

Installed my new headlights and HID's today also removed the hydraulic light adjusters

pics and vid do the talkin

or a volvo 480 turbo if you can't find a 172

Just a word of warning about the hids, some aftermarket headlights tend to melt (the front lense bit) after a while because the plastic used is much cheaper/thinner than standard lights. Im not sure if yours will do the same as there are different qualities but I have seen this happen before, just want to let you know as it can be a fire hazard.

was a long shot, just that loads of us go out to Hamburg and Toulouse working on them. Yeah thats the A380, massive mate, you should see inside it - Unbelivable

 

[crazyeyezclio]

big respect to you for doing this, something i always been wanting to do but just cant see myself gettin round to ever doing it now.

Hope it all works out good for ya.

[Bigsy]

[Ash87]

[Mark One]

been meaning to ask you mate. Where did you get your Intercooler, It looks custom made to fit. is it the Ktec one?

 

[Justin_16vT]

no mate, its a simple ebay special


heres a similiar one

stupidly cheap

 

[Justin_16vT]

update

Fitted oil cooler and oil catch tank. not fully plumbed in cos need to shorten one of the oil pipes for the cooler as its too long fir my liking and would make it messy imo. the oil catch tank cant be really plumbed in till i get the inlet mani back on, still waiting NOS jets tho

 

[Christopher]

Amazing!

Love this car

 

[Mark One]

cheers for the info mate. Looking good
