Nice work! Im getting mine done at the weekend. If I could weld I would have had a go myself, alas no. Still, bet you cant wait to get it going!

Cheers dude like the shiny exhaust on yours

Got a text from my mate and the inlet is done just got to pick it up and fit it tomorrow

Just hope what I asked him to do is right lol otherwise another three weeks wait as he does it not the side

it runs woop woop but idles like crazy,:( at 1500 all the time,checked ecu and icv there fine i know 100% but looking to get another throttle body as i messed with mine and changing my temp sensor too.

any ideas ?

please

It sounds like an idle speed sensor issue to me.

Wwhn mine was playing up Adam suggested a few different ideas, the valve on the throttle body can get "sticky". Take the valve off and rock it back and forth in your hands, if it's got a sticky valve this can free it up.

I still reckon it's something to do with the speed dsensor in the back of the dash though.

Cheers for the help guys got it sorted was the throttle body so got a new one sweet as now

I find this thread really interesting as I´m considering one of theese engines as a transplant for my -64 Renault 8.

But I´m a bit worried about the weight as the R8 is a bit heawy on the rear as it is.

How is the weight of the 1,8 16v compared withe original B14 engine of the 340?

It's quite an increase, about 2 or 3 times the weight. This isn't a major issue with 340s as they are designed for a bit more weight. With the long wheelbase on the R8 I think it would probably be ok for it and I'd love to see a screamer under the bonnet of one of those

2 or three times as much as the B14 sounds a bit on the heavy side I´m afraid.

At the moment it has a 956cc with about 43bhp so even a bog standard B14 would be a big upgrade.
