we sourced me a clio 1.2 RL without a sunroof which passed its mot a week last monday ago with a wheel bearing and needing the rear brakes fixed i drove it for 2 days soo slow back to the fun

got both cars down to the garage on friday got the 5 running and left it till saturday
morning took the 5 engine out and started on the clio. now the pics

clio before







yip this is me andthe messy garage lol


engine ousted from the 5 was quite quick


now to start on the clio



armed with a drill and preped the clio for the 5 engine using knowledge gained from mistakes made while getting bass js betty up and running i sorted the fuel pressure reg now sits snug and nice under the brake servo bolted to the chassis leg
engine in



not to bad for a weekends work id say
ps we used the 5 exauhst and drive shafts <they need changed there just too short but they work to drive the car up the road

i just need to sort the brakes 1.2 ohhh noooo lol
wiring needs a few tweeks i couldnt get the 5 dash oil light to work and the oil level sender the ph3 clio has a different loom to betty lol
i will be getting some gauges for oil water ect
and fixing the battery which at present is situated loosely on the passenger foot well

one thing but i dont know about is the speck of the engine there was an adjustable (lockable) boost controller i took it off so if anyone knows any info about the engine please feel free to share your knowledge

cheers for reading i will update this when i make progress

Sleepers are ideal

Was the 5 bad? Looks like it's in ok condition or was it quite rotten?

[Bass J]

aye the 5 was rotten lol ..here's how bad the floor was on one side -


the sills had massive holes in them aswell ..wouldve cost us too much to weld it all up

[benj88]

Yeh ah bet it would! Lol

i want yellow boost hoses

nice job boys..

[Bass J]

Well last weekend we fitted my old turbo technics stage 1 t2 turbo to this engine. Its doing a weird thing on boost ..its chirping! ..spoke to markey mark on the fone he said the boost was too high ..so we turned it down..it still did it. Then me knowing the actuators set to 10psi ..we just straight piped the actuator to the carb and it still did the chirping ...has anybody got any ideas?

Bobby what do you mean by chirping?

[Bass J]

Has it only done it with this turbo you have just put on?? could just be the fact different type of turbo different compressor stall sound.

[Bass J]

aye only since he fitted it.. its my old unit ...it ran fine on my engine. which we thought was weird that it did it on his. His old turbo didnt do this on his engine either.

[reco]

fitted the standard turbo and did a few other things this weekend
well today been a busy bunny
fitted a different driveshaft and lowered the rear a bit CLIVE IS HOME
