The Tupperware Turd will be back!!

That's not bad mate
Would make a good conversion into the back of something, like a small hatchback. What's the BHP as std?

[owelly]

Ah! Now there's the thing.......
I wanted the VVC 210bhp unit but to use the standard ECU, you need the entire 'multiplex' can-bus loom with everything from the dash set to the key transponders. If you miss any bits out, the ECU goes in to sulky mode.
I ended up with the 194bhp engine which has proper blokes wires. With a de-cat, freeflow chimney and panel filter, standard 406 Coupes poke out 212-220bhp. The ECU can be remapped or there is a Clio V6 ECU which will wind the power up if I can find which one it is. It's the same one the Frog Plod use in their 406 Plod cars.....

220bhp, nice. Should be more than enough to mangle your Twiglet derived drivetrain.

And for those of you with keen eyes and an interest in XR4x4s, will recognise the struts and uprights....

spot the plan?

3.0 V6 24v 4wd pile of sh1te?

[Jaffa]

Thats a good point, well made

[Relentless Rob]

So TW, Daz', and Owelly are opting for V6's. Interesting.

And all with different layouts- FWD, mid eng RWD, front eng 4wd

or in Oweelys case, no wheel drive

[Relentless Rob]

Having a haggle with the ideal candidate for my project. May opt' for a front mounted rear wheel drive V6 due to the space/performance ratio.

So, after a few nightshifts, a swarf pile as big as a big bear, a few swarf burns, a few swarf cuts and a totally ruined fleec, cause by being melted by swarf, I have......<<drum roll>>
V6 gearbox.


V6 gearbox pulled to bits to get the bellhousing end.


Making swarf.


More swarf.


Offset swarf making.


Bibbles to transfer the holes to a template.




And the 'finished'adaptor plate. Just needs ffive more holes once I have the gearbox levelled to the engine.

[Jaffa]

I don't understand!!!!!


draw me a picture

[owelly]

Apologies for the immensely childish drawing but you should get the idea...
