Basically a guide on swapping honda engines, good for D16 DOHC and B16 VTEC conversions even in Rovers. The bumph: When it comes to their personal transportation, today's youth have shunned the large, heavy performance cars of their parents generation and instead embrace what has become known as the...

It had a pipercross panel filter (I think I still have this somewhere if anyone wants it), decat from a civic and the mongoose cat-back.

JamesCoupe

Yeah 130bhp, its a good engine for sure. That was with a decat though which I've sold, but it shouldnt be far off that even with the cat.

JamesCoupe

Yeah my old one!

Rest of the bodywork is fine, no rust that I can remember seeing. I will take a closer look tonight when the car is back at home.

Bought a stainless manifold off me, paid quickly, excellent comms. Good trader.

V power or BP Ultimate in mine, try to stick to higher RON especially now in the SX.

It happened to me overtaking a van on a stretch of local A road, luckily I wasnt pushing my luck and had plenty of space to safely get past, but it popped off as my rear wheels were level with his fronts, bit of a shocker and probably clouded him with black smoke, I assume it would still be fuelling...

JamesCoupe

My car was std with about 53k on it when I bought it, so I doubt very much the box has been changed.

JamesCoupe

420T's use the same boxes as 220T's. Mine is 40/70/110 indicated and on GPS my speedo is pretty much spot on.

JamesCoupe

I wasn't gonna say anything but...lol!

I wouldnt have one, they are built just up the road from me and I have various mates who work on the line (old apprentices) and they tell me how sh!te the build quality is. Owning a rattly 12 y/o car myself I can't comment but then it IS 12 years old, so I expect the odd rattle etc, not so if I was ...

JamesCoupe

Probably the same or very similar part, Grant.

I did this mod, while firming the gear selection up I feel welding up a short shift would be a wise mod to do at the same time, since the stick still feels as though you have about 1' of throw between 1-2nd, 3-4th etc.

200/400 R8 roofbars for Â£50 too

JamesCoupe

Yeah I spotted that just after I posted

So what else is involved, I guess you dont get a send with the gauges?

Is this what you mean? I guess the smaller threaded sender screws into the top of the bung? Can't tell from that pic really...

RR'd at 130bhp, de-cat, mongoose cat-back and pipercross panel filter.

I find searching takes a fair bit of finesse to refine it to what you're really looking for, people use different phrases for things than you might, so you looking for "me GTI VTACK conversion innit" probably wouldnt return anything vaguely useful, whereas "B16 engine conversion"...

Only beat us 420T owners by 1 car

Combe, looking forward to April again.

My only critisism of the Halfords 150 piece is a lack of 6 sided sockets. Saying that they are generally for fitments to the small ratchets so its not such a problem as they done need to be quite so strong. Never broken a halfords socket mind :) Get a set of the black impact sockets 14mm - 22mm i th...

Done lots of dodgy dealings with this fella now, so I thought I better leave some feedback telling everyone how dodgy he really is... :) But seriously, done lots of stuff for me, various Rover based missions that we've accomplished together, loan of parts/tools etc. Always happy to help (or so he sa...
