i seen then already

i off out to order me one of them alternators if motor factors list one yet, can get rid of my spacers then

Any thought about the great big lump on the front of the rocker cover (pretty sure the VVT thing will be a development -- please God, a more reliable one -- of the Alfa "variator"): I looked at the pictures Dave put up and think you might be able to use that if you go to twin headlights (and you'd get far better lighting as a result)?

If you are going to get your standard cast iron road car flywheel lightened then be sure to take it to a proper vehicle engineer and not just your local machine shop.

Yeah right

there is a different kind of seal on the GP one, not sure if it matters though.

you can just pull the seal out of the block witha screwdriver, and the old rail then fits in just fine

hey Kev motor factors no list that alternator, he say if i get the numbers off that one he can cross reference it, please

Going for 15" alloys so the rare speedline 13s will need to go at some point

I'm definately up for the Speedlines, got a set but one is quite buckled

they rare? i got a set of them in the garage!

Far as I know they are pretty rare in 13"?

i thought the 14"s were rarer

i thought they were just quite rare generally no matter what size..

Pic of label on the alternator.

PS wheels on the bay of E :devil:

you swapping the alternator and pulley over from the cinq? Still unsure what you did on the sei with regards to that.

No, didn't do it on Sei, so see no reason to do it now This is a higher output alternator 70amp, think one on the Sei is the same, bit better than the 55amp Cento's come with.

IIRC we took a little off the bracket and made a spacer but there wasn't a huge amount of work in it to make it all fit.

thanks, is the belt normal width or double?

double width would be massive looks like a 4v to me , instead of the 5 or 6v that AC and diesel punto's have

Ah yeah, I remember now Not something i fancied myself. Think I'll swap the oil pump over from the current to new engine, but the spacer does sound a damn sight easier

Its been a while since Team Lloyd did any projects, so yesterday we travelled miles to pick up this little gem!

Over the winter we hope to transform this cinq into possibly the first 1.4 16v with 6 speed gearbox, not sure if anyone has done it yet, altho have heard people thinking about it!

We now have the car and a brand new 1.4 16v engine and gearbox awaiting to be joined as one!

Thanks

dude....that red sei in the pics is a 1368 16v aswell

yeap!!!

Hi guys, I have this project going as well, although very slowly. I have a bare, slightly fire-damaged 1.4 16v engine that I'll need to build up before it goes in the Cinq, but the wiring looks like it will be a bit daunting at the moment. Are you going to modify the Cinq loom to add the extra injectors and sensors for the 16v engine or will you use a loom from something like a mk1 punto sporting?

Another question; As I have a completely bare engine, I'll need to source all the belts and things like alternator and oil pump etc. I know you have had to modify the engine mount for clearance, but is there any way to do it by mixing'n'matching components from different cars to make it all fit without modification?

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated

cheers,

James
