Location: 13.9 @ 98mph 160vvc NA power 		Couple of pictures of my new project im about to start. Picked this up the start of the year haven't done much to it yet as ive had a busy year
but plans are to start it over winter. Wanted a more modern engine so i picked the k just because its an easy conversion to get it rear wheel drive and i
know my way around the k. The engine is a flat 1.8 Its a rebuilt engine only covered a few miles which i picked up.

polished and balanced crankshaft
VHPD conrods
omega flat top pistons
oversize stainless 1 piece valves 26mm exhaust 30mm inlet bored out to suit larger valves port throats opened to match
ported head to fast/road/rally
matched vvc inlet
new 135 cams / might be changed for some better cams. I also had the Engine with mems 1.9 set up on it but ive started to change it all to mems 3 in the picture so i can have a zandf map.

Im hoping with the k being a light engine and the car only being as heavy as the metro if not lighter it should be a fun car. cheers hope you like.

mount the engine as far back as I can for good handling.

have you seen the K series minors?
Always have to laugh as most can never figure out mems and run aftermarket and ruin it

Haha yeah I have seen a few of them they all seem to do aftermarket a lot of them struggle with the
dizy cap against the firewall/bulkhead I think, when it's easy to sod off really. The only thing I'm going to struggle with
is the throttle-body but I think a good 90 bend to bring it back towards
the front of the car will be ok.

Location: birmingham		Carnt remember where it was now but I have seen someone modify the inlet manifold so the throttle bodie sits on the other side. Might be an idea

Yeah they do them on that website also other sites just google them. I think there's
been some forsale second hand on pistonheads in the past might be worth a look

Location: 13.9 @ 98mph 160vvc NA power 		1600 or 1400 flywheel same as what you would use for R65u box on a 1.8.
Then a sierra clutch there's one type of sierra clutch that fits same bolt patteren as the
Flywheel so bolts straights on. It's a 1.6 sierra clutch 190mm.
