Not sure how this is a trade up 🤔 Too bad the paint is in a bad state.
Yes, I think I may have made a mistake here, hopefully we can break even with this one.
Go for the turbo :-) do you wanna give me the 135 engine cause I want ur block mine is very thin casting where it joins the head by the alternator
You can have the bottom end when I've finished with it
Gregory my 135 auto tensioner is tight at twelve o'clock and loose at 9 o'clock is yours different or did you just set it loose
It's set where the indicators meet. You need to tension it anti clockwise.
Damn good job you did there pal. One day I’ll learn mechanics from you and I’ll keep showing you the way detailing 🤣
I've learnt from the best......
Fantastic job
Great work, nice to see a rover saved
Nice work mate :-) I love a Rover. Where you at and when are you thinking of selling? Cheers, Steve.
It's ready to go, I'm north Norfolk. Cracking little motor.
@gregoryelgood How do I message you mate? Or can you message me please? Cheers.
@Steve-K.G. send me an email, it's at the bottom of the description. Gregelgood@gmail.com
the other mg tf turbo channels use the 135 because its not vvt unless you got a custom ecu
Not low enough compression, you need shorter rods from the turbo models.
why didnt you get a sligtly thicker bearing to bring it into tolerance. also what do you know about 135 tunes
Not quite as simple as that I'm afraid
Wow you have set your self a bit of a challenge 😊😊
Yes even a mear ztt190 still feels a way away, good job I didn't want a v8, but who knows, if the series hits off then it could be possible 😉
have you ever tried the 160bhp ecu on the 135bhp one
No I haven't,
Hi Gregory and James keep up the good work
Thanks, we are trying 😅
Crucial for a winter banger: additional downforce … might be due to the additional weigth 😉 I would like to find the xpower spoiler extender, but that seems to be hens teeth.
Yes good luck trying to find one of them....
3:09 Top Tip! To make sure the bolts don't fall out of the socket and into the boot, I wedge a bit of rubber glove in the socket. 👍
Great tip.
Your mudflaps look great did you have yours cut to length or why they standed length they come
You can opt for a standard length or ones for a lowered car, which are 20mm shorter.
@@gregoryelgood were yours the standard length
@davecooke914 no, these are the shorter ones
@@gregoryelgood great I do like length of your mudflaps thanx 👍
The rover is a nice looking 2 door hatch
Can I ask were they 4 mm thick ones
Yes I belive they are, plus shorter for lowered vehicle.
@@gregoryelgood that's great get some for mine 👍
Absolutely brilliant video 👍 Nice one. Thanks
Just doing this on my 2002 tf and the rubber feet on the pump have turned into a gooey mush any ideas for replacements?
No unfortunately not, you might find something similar on Google perhaps?
@@gregoryelgoodthanks, thought I'd try to cut a bit of fuel line to the right shape, I guess it's needed to stop vibration. Same thing for the grommet at the top of the pump
not something silly like little circuit board wrong way round in key fob so you press unlock and it pops the boot and then a short on unlocking button
I think the pinks that I've joined up, I think one should be a separate one for the boot open. Will need to pull it all apart and trace which one it is, don't know why they didn't make it a different colour or has a trace in it..... Totally my error so just need to find the time to repair it, it's so annoying every time the car unlocks the boot opens 😑 I've just disconnected the boot for now 😅
Good job
Will this be the same for a vw polo2014
Should be.

Cracked liner?
I'm going to say yes, it smells quite sweet like coolant.
This must be every MG ZR left in existence.
🤣
why do you have to use a cutaway oil ladder? I know for access but what happens if you dont use a cut away one?
You need to put something there to use the liner clamps, if not it will push the liners out which I'm trying to avoid. It was just easier to cut up an old oil ladder.
Ive a video Gregory on my channel showing how to check your head properly steel rule is for drawing lines its not straight
I have a precision staight edge which I use, but you can use a steel rule on its edge and a torch behind.... I might put it in my next video of the various methods that can be used, as well as checking liner heights.

Curious if you were able to finish this? I have an AE86 that I'm looking to replace all the junction boxes with a PMU-16 to handle all the electronics. I'll end up making a "Another Idiot Installs Modern Technology Into An Old Race Car - ECUMASTER PMU-16"
BTW what gauge wire did you use?
Yes it's basically finished apart from a little bit more programming to talk to the emu black. It's on hold at the moment until the end of the race season when I can concentrate on it a bit more. I used the ecu master wiring pack. Comes with pretty much everything

Is there a gasket kit for the Oil Filter Housing? Mine is leaking from the front of the housing...
The new unit came with new gaskets, I'm sure you will be able to get the gaskets separately from ford. If it's leaking from the front, I would say the top plastic cover is faulty which means you probably need a whole new unit.
@@gregoryelgood That's what I was expecting unfortunately 😔 Thanks for the info 👍
@MartinJones123 after replacing mine, it still chucks oil out, so don't even think the old one was faulty. Replaced all the hoses aswell with new genuine ones. Think I must have bore score or it's leaking through the valve stem seals, creating crank case pressure. Only happens when I send it though not on normal driving.
@@gregoryelgood That's no good at all! What are the symptoms of bore score or valve stem seal issues? Mine seems to be leaking around the plastic lid area...
@@MartinJones123 heavy breathing, pushing oil out of the seals, blue smoking etc
Love to see how you convert to turbo with some idea of costings and if it would need any further upgrades to brakes and suspension to handle the extra power Looks like it could be a lovely motor once it's been sorted
Dent in wheel at 34 mins , and we all love free under seal
Would need to drive in reverse for a while to coat the rest of the car 😅
@@gregoryelgood depends how big the leak is, I mean, it could be adventurous to see how long it takes to blow it up ‼️
Having just bought a TF, I did not want to see this...
Oh why?

Hi Greg, i would love to see a super charger conversion and also explore the gearbox i.e. What mod's or updates can be done. I'm liking the new format 👍
Bought
Thankyou, now amended 😊
Nice too see a face and nice project. All your ideas sound great.
Keep it standard and slam a turbo on it just up.grade the bits you need to make it handle properly and safely. 😅😅😅
Congrats on your new Baby
Hi Greg. The engine noise sounds terminal. It's a crank or rod noise which I am sure you think the same. Regards the turbo engine swap, I make a gearbox to deal with the extra power and torque the turbo engine gives. Your current C4 ratio box is a bit short gearing for a turbo, ask Leon Wignall who has a C6 ratio U spec box fitted and I have the same in my own turbo car. The rear wheel drive cars do grip well so maybe don't need an LSD if a road only car. A stock turbo engine makes over 200bhp with just a remap but 250 is very easy to achieve with many of these running much more.
It's a straight not a straight away. This is the UK. 😂
🤣
Where are the covers from and the red and stainless steel bits from
The red and stainless bits are from auto silicone hose, not sure what you mean about the covers
@@gregoryelgood the cam cover
@@mechanical-adventrues just a standard cover, I just sanded the top until it went through to bare alloy
@gregoryelgood so just take the plastic cover off the 160 vvc engine and santa it down to bare alloy that 16 valve twin cam writing on the engime is that under the plastic covers
@@mechanical-adventrues the centre bit which say rover is plastic, I used a silver sharpie to colour that in, the rest is alloy so can be sanded down
Great video, Greg. 👍 What tyres were you running?
Kuhmo v70a
You did well just to keep on the track mate you will have better days.😊😊
Thanks 😊
your map is not working (100kpa) at idle and it was pig rich at 12ms injector time at idle
I'm guessing the 100kpa is atmospheric pressure and if it was struggling to run it would cause it not to build much vacuum? I had to richen it right up for it even to run for a split second. If everything was batch firing and timing is out 180° I think that my issue so I'm currently changing flywheel to the later type to remedy this issue hopefully.
@@gregoryelgood even in batch fire there is no way an engine at 1000rpm with intake manifold will be at 100kpa . there must me an airleak
@nonsense0233 OK thankyou, I will look into it, I've got a smoke tester so will try that.
