Nice conversion, IMHO an earlier 1.8 Turbo would have been more useful for the firm than VVC similar to VW's own 1.8 20v Turbo around that time.

Do it!

hi. do you have boost contlol ? does it work from the motor control unit? or a separate boost control unit? or mechanical adjustment?

where can I get this firmware?

i recommend apexi avcr, but they are still pricey 2nd hand.

never run the restrictor on journal bearings! you want to keep destroying them then by all means go for it.

I just restart my freelander 1.8, for the first time after, rebuild all engine. I double check all the electrical conection and fluidd, but hase same metalic sound like yours, and have some idle variation. Is normal? The idle variation can be from the small batery that i took from my 1.6 Toyota Corolla. I apreciate any advice. Thank you so much!!

Needs straight pipe to sound like a V6

Ppf ?????

Really helpful video. Thanks mate

hiya skipper, do you know any one, who can help me with the loom on a 1.4mpi to vvc conversion, i messaged metropower, had no reply. cheers butty, ive got all the stuff. mgf vvc loom, mems 3, fob, temic unit etc

My first car was a 1957 100e that my father had sold a set of new Gulf tires to the owner. He returned two weeks later asking if we would give him his $100 back (that was what a set of 2 ply 13” tubeless tires cost back in 1964 and that included mounting and balancing). Well my father told him that he could not do that because he could not resale the tires as new to recupe his money, not to mention the labor of taking them off again. So the guy said that he would take a hundred dollars for the car because the r were engine was needing a rebuild. I was turning 16 in a few months so my dad agreed and told me to park it on the back corner behind the tire changing area and that I could only work on it when I was coughed up on my school work and my shift at the station. Our neighbors owned an auto parts and machine shop. So it only took me about a couple of hours to take the motor out and call them to pick it up. Luckily all of the bolts were SAE so that there were no special English tools required. But what was required was patience, it took our 3 months for the machine shop to get the rebuild kit and then a month to work it into the schedule. As you can imagine I was anxious to get it back, so I spent the time modifying it. Let me say that even though I had never seen this car before, the flathead engine was nothing new to me and my father. Our service truck, which was totally restored from the frame up, was a 1948 Ford F 150 with a flathead V 8. Well the little e100 was s powder blue paint that was faded and dull and worn through in place on top of the finders, so my first modification was to paint it. I choose Corvette Candy Apple Red Metal Flake, but in those days it was an enamel paint, and I had to water sand the dead paint off multiple times, paint it with a primer and when cured from sitting in the Florida sun, water sand it multiple times. Then came the time to spray the finished enamel. Luckily there was a retired man who knew how to paint and he gave me instructions and encouragement. It actually came out pretty good with on on or two runs that were not obvious until you looked closer. While I waited for the engine, I took the front bumper off and tossed it, jacked up the front suspension a little, put a set of the largest 13” tires on the rear, and on the inside I put a pair of fighter jet seatbelts that I bought at the surplus store, replaced the shifter knob with a brass small piston from a chainsaw, put a tube type radio in the glovebox sitting on a sling for shock absorption, wedged the speaker between the shifter and the firewall, and finally I could not afford a tachometer, but I took a pressure gage off of an old radiator cap tester that was being replaced and I drilled a hole in the water pump and tapped it and ran a 3/16” copper tube through the firewall and up through the dashboard and mounted the gage there on the right side of the speedometer. So when the engine revved, the gage went to higher pressure until it reached the “Redline”. It was hilarious as it made a clicking noise as it wound up and down. But it was a different time and this was a step above the Soap Box Derby and luckily I lived in a small town and had minimal encounters with heavy traffic and large trucks. Although the little 26 hp engine would scoot the car along at over 70 mph on a flat mile or more stretch of road. My parents must have realized the danger that this small car entailed, because they made me sell it and get a baby blue 1955 Chevy BelAire with a Blue Line 6 cylinder engine just before I graduated and went to college. I assume that my car might have been brought here by a military person who ordered it with left hand drive? I never knew of a Ford dealer who sold them. Well that is my story about my English Ford. The only other one that I saw was in a car magazine and it had been made into a dragster and had to be driven from the back seat….

hiya dude, who done your loom conversion please dude? ive got a 1.4 mpi 114gta late 96, and a trophy 160 vvc engine, i have, to put in. but can find any one in south wales, cardiff newport area, who can do the loom conversion. any help appreciated dude. cheers mark

Can you pass mot without this mod ?

It says 25 (NOT 2.5) + 5 which means 25 NM + 5 degree. Please stop making those videos before you destroys someone elses car as well.

I put a Mk 3 Zephyr mill and box into a 100E back in the day, 107E diff, similar firewall work, but a bloody nightmare overall. Glad to see you didn't hack into the flat panel on top of the firewall, that adds a lot to the strength. Provided its not rusty, the 100E is quite a stiff shell, especially the 2 door, unlike the very 'flexible' 105E shell.

This is my Mercedes V6 E320. Which one has a better exhaust sound? Yours is diesel, so I don't think it's good. th-cam.com/video/cJgn7ZgMrAU/w-d-xo.html

I think the speedo goes up to 110mph on these and once i saw that go past that i knew this was quick 😂

Is it the same process on 2020 Cupra Formentor Vz2 ?

When somebody builds a fast old car but doesn’t bother much with the bodywork, isn’t it called a “sleeper” ?

Always liked the MGZR, only reason i never bought one was because the power was a bit low. Been considering doing this for a long time

you need to practice your welding skills 😅😂😢

You should be driving it coss its your car it's really for women let the big boys play with the car hehe

Welds look Shiite

Swirl marks add 10hp 😂😂😂😂

Hello friend, I want to do the same job, what is the diameter of the pipe? I have the same vehicle

Hey mate, know its a bit late after the upload but have really been looking into swapping my 1.4zr, just wondering what it was like price wise for the swap?

What engine is in it?

So is it a stock 1.8T? What have you done to it?

Un 6 cil siempre va a arrojar buen sonido más.con un buen escape

I'm not even sure I'd want this painted looking at it. I'm not one of these "patina" guys. But I like the idea of it being an absolute shredder, driving mint and the paint looking... how it looks. The colour you're going for is nice tho

I reckon you could do the loom yourself, with a bit of thought and time. Basic Kit car loom should do There are brand new motorcycle looms available for peanuts online, I've often thought about adapting one of those for a carb car. Minus the alternator wiring, all the necessary circuits are there. Be a good side hustle to get into too. Wiring seems to scares everyone else off 🤣

Will look great when painted .

Glad to see you're making headway with your new project m8! What is it about cars that draws us in?! Lol😂

Hi, I see its a while ago since you made this video, but I hope you could help me with a issue I'm facing right now. Today I tried to install my new downpipe (catless + opf delete) under my MK7 TCR, but I just can't get the sensors before and after the OPF off. I think those are the pressure sensors (the smaller tall ones)? It seems that they are really stuck. I already tried some heat and WD-40, but without any luck. How did you managed to remove these sensors? Any tips or special tools needed? My car is only from 2020, I just can't imagine that they are seized already. All of the other sensors and O2 sensors are no problem, only the pressure sensors.

Wish downpipe its ?

Quiero esas puntas de escape para mi en 280 cdi año 2005,esas ovaladas quendan geniales

Nice job mate, any link to buy the pipes please? Many thanks

how low did you put them ?

Sound like shit

Great vid mate and it sounds great, what diameter are those stock exhaust pipes?

Are the crackles standard or enhanced from the tuning box?

Hi mate is it possible to get a list for things needed to do the zr turbo conversion?

Hi I got 1.4 and gonna do this swap but what did you do to get around the exhaust problem please and does it need the pg1 gearbox and driveshafts.

Keep it up mate loving the videos of the pop , what you got the zetec running off? Management wise ?

"hopefully we can do a burnout and then we can finish it " loved it!

Cant wait to sew this out

Good to see your progress m8!

Nice conversation as you say the factory should’ve fitted the Turbo absolutely agree with that, sorry but the white wheels 🤮. You can reasonably map up a VVC to 190BHP but you wouldn’t get the dump valve sound 🎶.

Totally off topic but will be considering putting in original tail lights?
