cheers dave hopefully ill have an engine to crack on with in the next week or so
Sorted that for ya mate
Ok the day has finally arrived and I now have my engine back after a Long long long long timebut I think the inlet manifold has come out really nice only bad thing is the company can't and won't make me an exhaust manifold now so after selling my last tubular one to help fund the new one I will now have to by one but I have found one which I will order tomorrow and hope it fits or will only need minor adjustments. I have had quite a lot more done to the engine this time round so hoping if all goes well I should have quite a quick 5 also finished my fuel system off and as soon as my laptop stops messing around I'll load up some pics, so now the race is on to see if I can get all the work done and get the car up to scoff if he can fit me in before the fete day as I will be rather pissed off seeing everyones 5's there and not mine
here are the pics
and more
some more
more pics
more of the manifold
last pics for now hope you like
Progress being made... Looks the nuts mate! I am sure you'll be more than happy once its all done and your clocking up the mileage
Thats a nice fannymold shame build time took a little while.
Good luck getting it all together if there's anything I can help with just shout mate.
Phil, looking good shame taken so long for fabrication of parts does look good, out of interest what size injectors and what TB are you using?
As per Logg's over if you need a hand doing anything I am more than happy to help matey
Looks well mate
the company who done the work have made a locating dowel mate behind the pully so the trigger wheel cannot come off or slip as i was going to get it welded but this was the neater optionLooks well mate

TB is quite common and is found on most renaults from an early meagane/laguna but this actually came from an 03 plate scenic which is still the same from an ealy 90's megane plus i went for this as the throttle cable is the same fiiting as the 5 and goes straight on the 5 pedal it,s a 50mm TB and injectors are siemens 550's
cheers for all your coments guys
nice bit of work there phill!
not a handy thing to make ,are they?
Thank you Michael I wish I had the time and the brains to make things like this but I had this one made for menice bit of work there phill!
not a handy thing to make ,are they?
i have one very similar going cheap....pity u did'nt talk to me first...i'll probably put it on my own car....when i get time...keep up the momentum
nice work phil,
what is ET value of those wheels you got? and what is the tyre size?
i'm probely gonna buy a 7,5J 15 set with Et33 and 195/45 tyres
Fair do's mate proper job
Hi sieger they are 8j's by 15's with an ET of 25 and the tyre size is 185/45/15's 75v the only place I could find to supply this size tyre was nankang and the Tyres were shipped it from Germany total cost for 4 was £180.80 Inc vat and post I think it's helped with the 185's as there is more on the stretch for the rear arches
Hope this helps mate let me know if you need any help
Phil
okay tx will keep that in mind
i suppose they wil fit, because i have 7,5 J and et 33, thats in total 2 cm smaller.
Cheers John let's hope it all fits and worksFair do's mate proper job
some more goodies have arrived today my new 10mm magnecor leads made to measure all set lengths then i had some vacuum pipe arrive and i got my new exhaust manifold today 38mm, inch and half pipe work so should allow the engine to breath better now rather than being strangled by the old inch pipe work k-tec one i used to have really please with the manifold as there is half the amount of welds compared to the ktec or raceland ones and bigger
work on the car starts as from tonight so hoping to have the engine back in by wednesday
cheers for looking
phil

cheers logg surrey meet round mine would be ideal i think it would almost be done in a night if i had everyone round there. I dont think i have enough cups to supply everyone tea
It's a shame it takes Jim so long to do things as he does knock out some decent work, did he make the exhaust manifold in the end Phil ?
No Phil got that from a French firm in the end i believe
correct what mark said and i can say i think the quality of this manifold is very good
Chop chop son
bit more progress made last night got some small jobs out the way ready for dropping the engine back in tonight or tomorrow big thanks to Dave..h for popping over and giving me a hand hope the tea was nice. Next on the list fit flywheel clutch and cover plate gear box and starter motor then if time drop the engine in a few pics from last night atleast the manifold fits
right cheers to scoff for sending me out my exhaust boss next day delivery got it welded in yesterday now both manifolds on clutch and and flywheel now on as well as the gear box engine mounts in so tonight ill chuck the turbo on and starter motor on then drop the engine in so if all goes well ill think another week of evenings on the car it should be ready to go up to scoffs to see what it can achieve just a few pics as well
