Matt The Rat Clubby Estate 2.0 8v

mini_mad_daps · 26-01-2010, 12:25 PM

Hi there thought id start this topic off now as im bored and at college doing absolutly nothing hahah
anyways.. seeing projects with the 8v has inspired me to do it to my clubby and as it is gutless with the 998 in it i thought id give it a go..
i Think Matts has bin the most inspiring watching it on here, youtube and tmf and i think ill defo turbo mine at a later date...
anyways this is the car not long back and i will update with pics of engine rebuild shorty..

ive lost my bloody camera so pics are slow at the minute... basiacally ive got the bottom end built up now with new water pump and gaskets... also ive fitted the new release baearing to the gearbox and done an oil change.
ahhh and also i went to my local scrapyard today and "aquired" a turbo from a saab900 today hehe ahh the joys of a big bag haha

mini_mad_daps · 08-02-2010, 10:37 PM

sorry bout the lack of pics at the minute but will try and get sum sumhow. ive done the headwork today on the 8v head so fingers crossed i can fit the valves back in and fit the head tomorrow. also the turbo i "aquired" *cough* stole..is a garrett T25 so pretty pleased with tht and seems to be in good order.. when i get round to fitting it ill get a rebuild kit for it and it looks like a new actuator mite be needed as the rod looks like its melted haha

mini_mad_daps · 21-02-2010, 05:42 PM

ahhh camera time!! finally got a new camera so sum pics up now!!! finally finished building the engine up to get back to where i work so i can build the frame. just got the hydrolic release to swap over now on the box and sall good!! heres the lump and box..

p.s the box shown is the f18 that im taking the release bearing and hydro off..

mini_mad_daps · 22-02-2010, 07:58 PM

Been playing around with the boxs tonight and found a small hickup which i hope can be sorted on here (posted on tech section already)
I was swapping the release bearings over from cable to hydro and noticed the centre input shafts are of different diameters so the hydro release wont fit onto my f16 at the minute (awaiting response).
also made up the gearbox mount plates tonight ready to weld up when the lump goes in the car for mock up...

f18 box

f16 box

both together

mount

since its the same price as this chap im guessing its the same guy! and yes they do, very good reputation too. Flat or pot for small bore, take you pick, flat is £175 i believe and pot £195

yep als right its 20/20 vision and its wicked. put it on yesterday and went well altho i did have to drill out 3 holes in the clutch diaphram as hed done the holes in the flywheel all M8 thread not M7 but doesnt bother me to much easy fix..

mini_mad_daps · 07-03-2010, 10:18 PM

had another good session on the 8v tonight.. had a few problems with the flywheel bolts but sorted now.. im aiming to take the engine to work this week to make the front subframe so fingers crossed..
anyways a few pics..
pete lining clutch up for me. (cba to do it haha)

can you tell what was wrong with the old clutch?

pete again

the new setup..

got the hydrolics fitted finally

on another note.. does anyone have a spare insert for this bit i cld pinch at all mines missing?

and.. does anyone know what these do? the two on the right that is.. are they dash signals for anything? and am i right in saying that the one on the left is output signal for a fuel pump from the relay at the bottom of the picture?

also one last thing.. ive got a hole in the bottom of the block near the sump which is just a tube inline with the pins on the crank for i thought this was a knock sensor but am i now right in saying that its a tdc sensor? if it is either one of these (doesnt matter what) does anyone know what the plug looks like that goes to it? or wiring colours?
