Wales run!

Oh hello 197 camshafts


Just awaiting a new timing horse shoe that I can twist to the correct timing. Will then need to enlist some help cough @DaveL485 to fit them

 

[Adey]

exhaust cam goes in stock position inlet cam goes advanced (secret squirrel stuff) lol, i know the figure just need to make the cam locking tool

Muchly interested- 197 cam upgrade...mmmmmmm

 

[Adey]

Oh so generous!

I'll come help you do it, how about that?

 

[Adey]

that sounds like a plan, i can see the 197 specific cam timing tool been quite sought after

 

[Adey]

Just fitted up a poly bushed dog bone mount to stiffen things up yet more again. Inlet setup has been sold so that's coming off soon to make way for, fingers crossed BOOST @Brigsy has an engine for me, a f4rt. So future plans will be an f4 hybrid, using the t Pistons rods and head on the atmo block so I can keep the gearbox. Will take a while with a little one on the way but should be fun

 

[DaveL485]

Is the Turbo 'box a different bellhousing then?

 

[Adey]

yes so wont bolt to the early f4r block (172/182), you could do a complete swap and use the f4rt lump and box but i think you would need custom shafts as a minimum, i could be wrong but i think they use hydraulic clutch too, i know the 197 does.

 

[tutuur]

Thread title is a bit misleading mate

Great car! Why you using the pistons ánd rods of a 225? The rods are piss poor!

Also the gearbox will work if you use the new block, but you'd have to get a dci 100 paddle box (has hyd clutch) and custom shafts indeed.

 

[Adey]

wasnt ment to carry on like it has lol. rods are good for 280lbft? not going mental with it, well yet. It more in the tinkering and actually building a hybrid engine out of spares than making massive power.

dci 100 paddle box? tell me more

 

[tutuur]

Dci 100 has an hydraulic clutch, i haven't tried it but i reckon it should work

 

[Adey]

what benefits would that have over the meggy 225 gearbox?

 

[tutuur]

sorry for not being clear, using a dci paddle box would solve the problem with a 225 box being hydraulic clutch. That's what i meant to say
