1.4 Into 1.1

[Jrod 7]

Right well I've swapped the dash and got the rev counter working on the little 1.1

 

I'm going to chuck a Xs engine in there but noticed the 1.1 hasa fuel return, is it ok just to block this off as the XS doesn't have one?

Shoule be, or run a pipe back if the tank has the connector.

[trogboy 17]

The XS should have a fuel return line! From the top of the air release trap (clear plastic thing) next to the fuel pump.

I've only seen that on the rallye, Never on a XS

 

Sandy, where would I run the pipe back from as the carb doesn't have a connector?

It's the other way round then?

[Jrod 7]

Sorry, i'm really confused lol.

i've just swapped my standard little 1.0 XE engine for a XS one and was wondering how to go about swapping over the rev counter over from the XS to the XE?

[Jrod 7]

Just had to swap the wiring loom for a XS one, pretty simple as it all just unplugs from the fusebox.

Ahhh thanks, much appreciated

[Jrod 7]

Figured this out now.

 

The return pipe comes off the little white as you said so you can just use that with the Xs engine and no need to block up the return or anything.

 

Took me 5 hours to swap the engines incuding a clutch and manifold change which I didn't think was to bad.

[trogboy 17]

not a bad effort. Whose rallye is in your avatar?

[Jrod 7]

Mine.

[trogboy 17]

Eh? not a shot of Sams old shell though is it?

[Jrod 7]

Nope, my new one.

[calvinhorse 870]

more pics! is it a rallye or this one.one?

[Jrod 7]

It was a 1.1 shell.

[DaveW 6]

Fake

[Jrod 7]

Not according to the V5.

[trogboy 17]

Does the V5 match the chassis no. though? Plus what engine did it come with?

[Jrod 7]

The numbers all match

naughty! i wont tell anyone!

[Jrod 7]

 

Well 1 side is done. Will do the other side then the car needs a clean.

 

I'm tempted to lose the "Rallye" decals on the door.

[trogboy 17]

who supplied the PTS flames on the wing? Johnny Goodhand?

[Jrod 7]

Yer,

 

I wasn't sure whether to go original and lose the rear quater badges and the PTS below the flame or just mix the 2 like I've done.

 

I'm happy with it as it is except the rally stickers on the doors, I don't thionk it matches with the Euro style on the badges.

Looks good!

 

I also tried a combination of the two (euro and UK) at one time but currently running with solely UK style:

 

 

Did you have any trouble fitting them?
