    Full C1J engine - complete runner - detuned to 130BHP, Can be tested before removal

    Hi all as the title suggests
    im doing an engine swap
    going from C1j to B18FT
    I have a whole 440 Turbo so will be using all parts from that meaning my Renault engine will be surplus to requirement


    The C1j in my raider is in good overall condition running 130Bhp - ive de-tuned it back to this as its my daily driver
    the Engine pulls well and dosent smoke
    below is a log of the engine

    from a Zeitronix ZT-2 wideband - Scoff sells these and there good bits of kit.

    as can be seen shes running good
    the carb has been drilled on the second jet to 1.35 , .95ac ,1.3main ( supposidly a Grp A carb but still has the choke function)
    you could go to 1.4mm on the second jet or a bit more for safety but i dont tend to give it too much stick


    The engine has a paddle clutch and lightened balance fly wheel - gear box is good - dosent jump out of gear ever

    The head gasket is an uprated jobbie think it may be MLS but need to check ??
    and has ARP bolts throughout.

    I also have a KTR (k-tec) 180 turbo coupled to the engine and a full Ram raid kit from GT tuning with a new (old stock) filter freshly fitted

    it has under bonnet bleed valve and incar boost - so u can increase boost from 5-14psi but no further from inside the car

    The fuel pump is uprated - possibly welbro ? and ive just fitted a new FPR (malpassi) its runnig 4psi on idle and advances +4psi for every psi of boost - also inline fuel filter before the carb.

    Ignition wise
    it has a full Nodiz 16x16 mappable ignition , this is for a ford wasted spark coil and toothed wheel and pick up
    it also has soft cut , hard cut and a launch control function.
    the ignition has been mapped conservatively and still has another +7deg ignition safely if you wish, as i said its detuned to use as a daily driver.

    then engine is still in the car at present as the perspective buyer can test it before its removed - and i can also log it , plus i have fuel pressure, boost, and oil pressure gauges in car so you can check it all out
    oil pressure is good and rises as it should .

    has alloy lobster carb top , can supply twin dump valves too if thats your thing.


    Im based in North Devon EX328PP
    but i do have the number for a very good reasonably priced courier if u need the engine shipped

    Im after around the £750 mark thats for engine - with paddle clutch
    +
    KTR 180 turbo - theres one selling on here for £220+
    +
    The Nodis which goes for around £200 second hand easily
    and a good running engine. with carb.

    any info just ask
    cheers

    to be honest its easier if the engine goes as a whole
    if it doesn't get any interest in a few months time ill split it .
    depends how long you want to wait

    May I ask your reasoning for going down the B18FT route?

    Yes not a problem
    I went this way as easily able to get 180bhp sensibly with out stressing anything and it's used as a daily driver so the EFI is a big help
    plus I like the idea of 1800 turbo and the b18 has a forged rods
    and I have 2 complete b18ft engines
    and it's a direct swap too
    hope this helps

    Cool, good luck with it.

    You do realise C1J can achieve 230+ reliably on standard internals ? (with a cam)

    Hi, can I ask what gearbox it is and if you would be happy to sell alone?
    Thanks
