Mmm F4R ITB lush'ness

[Laine_16v]

Just a few shots i couldnt help but share, wont be long until its done now just sorting a recon JC5 out, and some cambelt locking tools, then she'll be dropped into my mk1 shell.

Its just a standard engine with jenveys on it (but not your conventional SF style), got VEMS standalone (haters guna hate ), just finishing off a few bits of wiring and shes good to go. Going to have the cam cover resprayed metallic grey as i did a poor job of spraying it white. The manifold is a heavily modified F7R item too.

Hopeing to acheieve the 200bhp mark.

I'm not much of a mechanic but looks impressive either way!

looks very nice

how hard is it to do the throttle cable part of ITBs? do u actually need one for ITBs, then lose the cruise control?

 

[Christopher]

Want.

 

[nathanH]

Looks sweet! been watching your thread on c16v

 

[.GAZ.]

They ITB's look huge, will the engine fit or will the slam panel need modified?

Does look tasty tho!!

 

[Jamie3184]

^ That! Does look dam good though, especialy like the white rocker cover

 

[oliver.james]

Lovely

 

[Zmaster2k]

LOL F4R!

your really going too struggle too fit that into the engine bay mate, Them trumpets will be too long, meausre from the Head too the end trumpet see what the size is and ask the question to some one running the k tec kits size, as we had NO room to get a filter in had too butcher the filter too get it too fit.

Looking very impresive tho mate well done

The alternator hits the slam panel when you jack the engine up, you will NEVER fit those ITB's in unless you hack the front of the car to peices!

 

[sideways danny]

i think you're going to need 60mm trumpets and a flat backplate to fit that lot in. Might just get away with it though

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

here is ours. we had to remove the top bar to fit the air filter! and the ITB close to the head light suffered from lack of air compaired to the rest so we have to cut the slam down

cut pannel. the gap looks bigger in them pix lol

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

opps

 

[Ali]

looks good.

 

[Silent_Scone]

looks tidy

 

[Laine_16v]

Thanks for kind comments!

Regarding me struggling to fit it in the bay... Its the exact same setup i ran on my meganne F7R, same manifold, ITB's, backplate filter, e.t.c everything and it fitted. I dont run the slam panel and part of it has been cut to allow the filter there.

So unless the head dimensions or positions between F4R and F7R are significantly different, i dont forsee any problems.

Ive got no aerial shots of the previous setup, but you can get the idea from this photo...

Its going into a mk1 shell so simple cable and solderless nipple into the linkage, bish bash bosh job done

 

[Christopher.]

oh ok, looks alot better with a painted head much cleaner, that's my only gripe about body conversions leaves the bay a mess

 

[Nafoff]

great work

 

[Laine_16v]

Ready to drop in the bay sunday!!

 

[Russ_16v]

looking lovely matey, very impressed

What mani is that?

Im running a Jenvey with adaptors, so my DCOE stlye ITB's would fit

 

[sideways danny]

it's a chadil F7R 714 manifold. the ports are the same as f4r

 

[Russ_16v]

Ah I did wonder Danny, I did consider one, but decided against it

 

[Laine_16v]

Nearly the same, still spent many many many hours grinding them out to shape..

 

[Russ_16v]

Yeah even with the Jenvey I had to spend a while doing dome shaping lol.

Though I believe the Jenvey comes as 45mm only so I had to take it out to match my 48's

 

[Silent_Scone]

That's sexual.

 

[Gray]

Certainly looks the part!

A 182 oil breather top/cap would finish that off nicely
