Awesome!

Looks great, and it is good to see you are driving it hard!

It was the best lap. resulted in 5th position of 12 cars.
Just seems that this engine has something more to give. Starting from the Gearbox that needs a shorter racio of shifts.

 

[White16valver]

If you are only doing rallies or races (with less need for high maximum speed), it is a good idea to get a gearbox that gives better acceleration but lower top speed!

Yes, that's it! I just don't know wich one is the most apropriate. The budget is short too, so that i can't buy a costum made gearbox now.

If you want a bit more power, could you use any parts from the Twingo 133? I believe they have a variant of the K4M?

What gearbox does the car have? Is it a JC5, similar to the Clio 172/182?

 

[bloke]

chuck a set of iapel oversized pistons in, €420 and supertech f4r valves are 1mm oversized for them, twingo 133 cams should be pretty cheap and that should give you a decent bit of extra power.

 

[Vicky.]

Love it! Thinking of getting a sticker theme together for the ph1 once it's complete.

 

[bloke]

no cam sensor so group n timing as well, should be able to get a genuine 150bhp from it if it's a geed engine.

Yes twingo 133 is k4m, but they have VVT... i guess the cams aren't compatible, as i don't have VVT.
I have a JB3 (I guess) from an 1.6 k4m laguna. Do you think that the JC5 from 172 is shorter?

That's good value for a set of oversized pistons. I have to change the valve seats when i install those f4r valves right?

Thanks for the help mate.

Yes, i was looking forward to make group n timing... i just don't have access yet to that part of the forum, and i don't have the information of how to make that timing.

Is that something that you can send me?
Thanks

 

[bloke]

standard seats will cut for oversized valves.

 

[trimited]

standard seats will cut for oversized valves.

Nice. Then i just have to change the valves? And the springs?

 

[bloke]

keep the standard springs if you want.

 

[trimited]

Thanks Bloke for your info.

Here's some pictures of the homemade stainless steel exhaust:

Anyone can send me the GROUP N timing? ?

 

[k_Leo]

Bom ver threads tuga por aqui

 

[White16valver]

Is Group N timing identical to the road car timing??

 

[trimited]

I dont know. I don't understand how to do it.

All i know is that group N you change the intake valve timing (i guess).

There's lots of threads around here about GR N timing, but i don't have access to them yet.

 

[Oliver_K4M]

maybe you mean them? (FIA = Gr. N?)

Here's an update... F7P engine in, K4M out.
New 14x63 gearbox... soon to have JC5 with 12x63 CW&P.

 

[trimited]

Sh*t happens... lol
All went well, and didn't finish last.

 

[trimited]

This weekend's job:

Painted bumpers, mirrors, cabin air intake.
Due to covid-19 i guess there will be no more rally this year

I'm now buying an oil radiator and GR.N oil pump spring for the F7P.

 

[trimited]

Just assembled the oil pump with GR.N spring. The video is with the hot engine. Just a bit of gas and it's 5 (more) bar of oil pressure.
With the cold engine it goes to 5.4/6bar

 

[k_Leo]

Looks really good

 

[trimited]

It's still missing the JC5 gearbox with the 12x63 final drive... It has a loooooong gearbox.

How hard was to facelift the front of the car ?

I bought the car this way, but not too hard. You have to cut a little behind the headlights, and change the support bar over the radiator.
Then you have to change the obvious (headlights, bumper etc).
