Looks like I'll have to try beat that record then

Only 100,000 to go! Who knew a 1.7 could last so long though?

Number of valves increased.
Win!

That will be one nicely preserved engine bay

210.000 miles with a Renault 1.7 ... astounding! Haven't reached that even with my B200 (yet).

I'm sure you'll love the power increase!

F7R Win!

So whats the story with the engine? Megane Block with 1.8 head?

Post by **340GLT** » 11 Sep 2009 02:22 am

Yep F7R Bottom end, 1.8 head, 33mm Megane spec inlet valves. Chipped ECU, should make good power and Torque.

Engine just been running, sounds sweet, currently trying to find out why the fuel reg is leaking.......

Ah, so one of the unions to the reg is leaking? Bummer...

Just taken car out for a test and goes extremely well, especially considering a sensible lowered rev limit for engine running in purposes.
Fuel reg sorted by swapping out with another and slightly greasing the o rings.
Just water pump to swap out tommorow as current one is weaping.

Win! Great work guys. I'm guessing this is running on a modified standard manifold, given Chris' class restrictions?

cheers

No running on a non flipped manifold, has to be kept totally standard.

That's a bit of a bugger, although I seem to remember Chris having a cunning plan for the heater? Suppose it keeps the cost down as flipping the inlet manifold is the expensive bit isnt it?

I keep thinking about how the valver fits into regulations. For road rallying i thought you were allowed to change the engine as long as you kept the standard intake system and it has to be the same manufacturer. (May be complete rubish as i have never really looked into it). How does it work? do they class the valver as the same manufacturer because the original engine was a Renault unit?
