i know you have all talked about the subject before but there is sometnig that wasnt clear to me because there were some contradiction in it and it is .. when installing the BMC CDA will engine cover be installed back normally or will i be obliged to leave it open ???!?!?!

if you have an account with Anadin, I would leave the covers on mate

Are these things louder from the outside or the inside?

I think its probably the same volume from the inside, possibly a wee bit louder. But it burbles more which is ace.

Haven't been keeping the windows open too much as its soo damn cold!!!

who's that ?!? or whats that ??

what i want to know will the cover fit normally after the change ?? and thanx for the trouble

 

[Anonymous]

Anadin, as in the headache tablet people

sorry, very bad joke

 

[ColinG]

lol..i got the joke..i thought one day id remove the covers and go for a drive...TBH it sounded dreadful...just road noise and all the tappets etc more than the sweet engine noise i thought it would be..

i got 1.5 miles..turned round and put the cover on

yes engine covers fit back on fine mate!

Well I must of fitted it wrong. It came loose at the weekend at the engine side so I took the covers off again and tightened the clamps very tight, but I just checked now and it has come loose again.

If anyone can show a pic of how a BMC should look on a mk1 then please do.

Otherwise I'm puttting the old Renault kit back on later on tonight then selling my BMC.

Does the reducer keep coming off??

I put a jubilee clip around this aswell just to make sure it didnt come off.

 

[Anonymous]

Yeah its the reducer. But I have a clamp around that as well and it was well tight.

I've ran out of ideas.

 

[DennisV6]

superglue???

 

[Anonymous]

Fair enough, I might give that ago.

Also, is there a decent place to clamp the induction kit using the "support hanger"?

 

[DennisV6]

Its hard to explain where i bolted mine,

I used one of the bolts that hold the old bracket on, just abit of bending and hacksawing required.

Ill try and get a pic for you in a bit mate

I had to put my standard one back on.

Will keep the BMC and will fit again if I can get somebody to do it or if I find a better way of securing it.

Cheers for all the help guys.

At least I'm saving aroud £140 for not declaring it as a mod at the moment.

Just had a new K&N Apollo CIS System installed. Its magic and because I drive on the left with the window down the rasp is fantastic! (Induction to engine always on left side vent only...)

Cool just fitted it again. Its much more secure now. I cut some of the tubing off as it was too long too (I had to bend it too much last time which I think caused most of the hassle). Just drove a hard 60 miles (Dundee - Edinburgh) and its held up fine.

Now just need a new exhaust now to compliment it...hmm.. orisboud :twisted:
