Hi Diminever seen that style of top engine mount, not much movement in that design!!, will you be installing all new heatsheilds over manifold and exhaust or standard is up to scratch. I was wondering if there was a better designed valve cover as I see you have fitted the standard ebay unit, I have been using the same aftermarket model over 3 cars and only 1 failed at 3 months of low use (replaced under warranty) so will be interesting to see how it lasts in the performance spec EP6
cant wait to hear your results...then off the the track
Thanks Dave!Good luck on the run in mate, what a milestone!
Hi Double Chevron,I'm interested to see how they go tuning/mapping it with all the integrated electronics I guess you could see if one of the rczs being wrecked on gumtree is the 266hp version of the 1.6 and grab its engine ecu ?
OK so Citroen valve covers does not have a logoI would think the factory valve cover would have the Citroen badge like the Peugeots have, only aftermarket are blank so can be used as a replacement for all manufacturers. I need to google now to convince myself
Cheers Peter, I'll be keeping you all posted every step of the way. It's good to have a place to document the build that way it can help anyone who decides to do something similar. I'll post some video content when the time comes, too.Oh wow. All the best. Keep us posted and don't forget to get the dyno sheet!
Thanks Dimi - I'll ask him mate.grab a copy of the original coding from MED17.4.4 in case you need to revert or you need to clone the ECU in the future, If they let you get a copy of new code that would ensure if any ECU fault you could cloned if required
Timbo, could you please expand on the incorrect tensioning of the crank bolt? i.e what are they doing wrong?This build has been a marathon. In my journey trying to find a performance shop I have seen walls of EP6 engines from minis that have been decimated in performance applications over 450hp+ due to the incorrect tensioning of the torque to yield crank bolt, which resulted in timing chains being snapped. I've also seen the incorrect use of aftermarket tensioners that are not the genuine revised PSA tensioner resulting in timing slip.
