"the works" valver-hillpower

[Mark One]

Just found this pic of a valver on the hillpower website

Does anyone know what the engine is and what the car was built for?
Specs? output?
Looks interesting

Is it a 1.7 480 turbo? if it is, it's the farkin neatest one ever done IMO.

Thats not a valver, it in fact looks like a 1.4 energy lump with a different inlet manifold on it. Doesn't look like an RSi lump the manifold is similar (same?) as the inlet from one.

Possibly a Renault 2.0 8v f3 single seater engine 175 bhp??

 

[bmh.01]

Nope thats an energy engine and the F3* looks completely different.

 

[fuel_slut]

Looks like a SOHC 8v engine with a crazy manifold. It does'nt looked turbo'd to me?

 

[Mark One]

have to say the inlet manifold looks quite small. 1.4 sounds probable. But then you ask, why all the effort??
It's probably just been tidied up and had a samco pack fitted. gutted, thought it was going to be more interesting tbh

your completely right. I was being a melon. The TB is just fed via that neat looking IK system

1.4 8v FTF.

it's a valver shell atleast, you can tell by the bolt in slam panel


is it not an F3P 1.8 8v mpi? I heard nick hill is a big fan of those engines and had converted a few...?

Nope its 100% an Energy lump so either a 1.2/1.4/1.6.

 

[172cupwizard]

[nathanH]

1.6 megane engine

 

[bmh.01]

Its a volvo engine lol

its not

1.6 megane engine

That sounds familiar.

 

[Mark One]

Its a volvo engine lol

It's defo not the 1.7 turbo lump.

 

[Djw John]

Having spent a looooooooooooong time looking at volvo turbo lumps and getting one running it defo aint that!

Its either a 1.4 8v E7J or the 1.6 8v of the same family, you cant tell from that photo

 

[rctempire]

Looks like a Energy lump looking at the front of it.

However this may explain it a bit better for you all.

1.6l 8v Megane Engine Comversion.

Solved.

 

[fuel_slut]

1.4 8v FTF.

FTF?

For the fail!

 

[Alex_X93]

NathanH winner

 

[fil_b]

hill power any good??

 

[Matteh]

why fit a 1.6 8v?!

 

[theduck]

its the 1.6 8v. was intended as a cheap upgrade for lower spec'd cars. Standard tune was 90bhp though reacted very well to breathing mods. Mine was like a different car with free flow exhaust and decat

 

[86sixsix]

That very same engine's in my motor now...

To confirm, 8v k7m... Now high compression setup and dta electronics (specs below if you care)...

It's currently in a rapidly rusting up 5-door, but is soon to be transplanted into a 1992 valver chassis... there is also talk of a centrifugal supercharger...

To the person who asked if hillpower are any good, give Nick your motor... You will not be disappointed...

1.6 k7m
nick's crazy 'through the firewall' intake (what a sound)
supersprint manifold
no cat
stainless all the way through
lairy cam. possibly too lairy but hey...
high comp pistons
dta s40 ecu
power steering gone
rsi brakes, with tar-ox grooved discs and fast road pads
35mm down on a cheapo set of shocks and springs
15's...with 195 45 toyo proxies...
