Both 1.9 engines are forsale

abd here's the box i'm going to use, a 1.6 box

 

 

 

 

also bought a n ew radiator for the car

 

 

some other bits to go with the GTI-6 engine

 

 

and my 309 beam ready to go on, once the solid rear beam mounts come

bit more of a update from tonight :top:

 

gave the engine bay a bit of a clean

 

all by hand too :eek:

 

 

 

and here is the subframe and rack, which i'll blast with the water pressure jet tomorrow

Looking good there mate, I am doing the exact same thing as you, got my engine out yesterday love it when the shiny new stuff arrives in the post too! Now I am tempted to drop my subframe off, seeing as I have new everything to go on, tried to get the ARB out with the engine gone but it was a pain in the ass.

 

 

Did you find much rust in the engine bay?

[Spiky 37]

no none at all really

looks awesome. really inspiring. if only they let 16yr olds with no license out on the track.

They do! Well, in some event's. A 14yo lad i know was out on an autocross a few weeks ago in a 1400 205, came something like 8th overall, beating many more experienced drivers and expensive machinery!! His Dad does own and run a Rally School though so he's kind of had the practise!!

[Spiky 37]

well here's what i've been doing this week

 

big thanks to alex and sarah (for helping and putting up with me living in the garage..... lol )

 

it's a tight fit

easy once you get started isnt it! looks like you're doing good progress

[Spiky 37]

yeah it's going ok, all coolant pipes made just nedd jubilee clips and one metal pipe modified for the oil cooler

 

as for electrics 90% done, will finish once engine is started as i dont know which wire is for temp gauge and which for temp warning

 

need to get exhaust modified,

 

new lambda and crank sensor

 

and new longer thottle cable

 

not much else

 

one thing i dont know is where the brake reservior comes off, but i'm sure i'll work it out soon

 

welshput, also thanks for your help

 

will let you know how the diodes and rev counter get on

[welshpug 1,622]

this one should help identify any wires you may not know yet.

 

http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...round+multiplug

 

as for a TDC sensor its 1920 W9.

 

throttle cable you can get as a kit from GSF.

 

brake resevoir on teh 205 just pulls off.

 

my rev counter works (but my bloody injection double relay has just failed )

no, no, i know all the wires, they all labeled up

 

just dont know which way around the temp gauges are

 

the rest are fine

[welshpug 1,622]

ohh the gauges, yellow is the light, brown the gauge.

 

check my edit above

[Spiky 37]

cheers for the extra info, sorry i had a typo above i meant the breather off the brake reservior, sorry

[welshpug 1,622]

ohh, same again (its a vacuum pipe actually)

[Mikey G 3]

no, no, i know all the wires, they all labeled up

 

just dont know which way around the temp gauges are

 

the rest are fine

 

Turn the power on on the car and get a volt meter on the wires, ~6volts for the gauge and 12volts for the stop light

 

Looking good spikster anyway, may get to see it short(L)y

[Spiky 37]

well it's been a VERY busy few days and i almost finished :top: :top:

 

the engine is now running, although lacking water, due to one pipe needed modified for the oil cooler :top:

 

here is a quick vid of it starting and purring :banana: :banana: :banana:

 

i'm as happy as a pig in s*it :cry: :cry: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Looking very good . Looks like you used the gti6 engine mounts after all then? How did you set up the alternator - I am looking at making my own bracket up...

 

And what about the clearance of the exhaust manifold, any big problems?

 

Wish I worked as fast as you

yeah, fits fine with std mount

 

alternator is a modifed 1.98v one, i'll get pics if you need them

 

with a mi16 alt bracket, again i'll get pics

 

only mod was to extend the bottom moutn 7mm

 

clearance on the exhaust is perfect, dont touch anywhere, and lambda is face upwards, which show how much clearance i have

[Spiky 37]

here the pics i mentioned

 

 

[Spiky 37]

and here is the car ready for it's mot tomorrow

 

new foam on the roll cage

 

and new bonnet pins, due to me moving the rad forward a bit, the bonnet catch, was sticking a bit

and for safety

looking good dude but there is 1 thing i would have done.... i would have replaced the cambelt and tensioners as you will be giveing it death on various track days...... Unless you know the history of that belt and tensioner/idler set as its clearly not brand new.
