Hi, need a FPE for upgrading my 1.6 SS to 1.8 SS. Axel

Same to me some years ago. It disappears some times later or used some WD40 Axel

Thanks for the replies. Ordered lightened flywheel and AP Clutch yesterday. The "fuel pressure" search gives: - Use the injectors from the 1.8 (more fuel) - The injectors of 1.8 and 1.6 are the same (baige) - Fuel pressure of 3 bar is enough til '190 bhp (with Emerald only?) - Lean mix may result in overheating So i plan to compress the existing FPR spring. And i need a fuel pressure gauge to iterate the 4 bar. Axel

Hi, after buying a Rover MGF engine (K1.8) i plan to upgrade my worn out K1.6 SS. The plan is: - Using the plenum and injectors and fuel pressure regulator from the K1.8 - Using the SS cams and ECU from the 1.6 SS-Kit - Using 52 mm aluminium thottle body from my K1.6 SS Some Questions: 1. Do i have to worry about fuel pressure? / Do the 1.8 SS Kit contains a upgraded fuel pressure regulator? Should i use the pressure regulator from the 1.6 SS or from the 1.8 🤔 2. Is a adviceable to buy the lightned flywheel, once the machine is out. Or too rough on 1.8 SS? 3. Any other hints for this upgrade? Mainly road usage, 4-1 Exaust if this matters. Thanks Axel

replaced the heater control valve last year, works for me.

my 1.6 k ss 6-speed with LSD do the same. Howling 4 und 5 as loud as exhaust. Ratteling diff when engine warm at 0 mph. Tried best 90W140 miller competition oil in gearbox - little less noise but realy problems with synchro (bulky gear change to 1,2,3 - 4,5,6 ok) So what learned? Gears 123 are different to 456. lower nearly no noise but synchro ring trouble - upper noisy without syncho trouble. Is there no upgrade or fix available? Axel

Looks nice, does the air filter fit / larger diameter? Axel

oily, will take a look for the IACV, thanks for your explenation and help. prs, the alloy type 🤔 - is this the older one from the 1.4K or something special? Axel

IACV? The sensor? How to check? Any chance for a repair? The fast help on this fantastic forum gives good feelings back when 7 is ill Axel

Oily, thanks, overtightenig was also my first idia, so loosened the clip nearly totally. Did help a little bit. Will take a look inside the throttle body for the butterfly. You think, the senor is ok? My Revs where comming down quite slowly also before, but had no idea why. The butterfly turns easaly. Axel

Hi, just monted the old orginal air filter for comparing noise with the K&N (a little less noise - just fine for no more ringing in my ears with 4-1 comp. exhaust). But now the rev's are not coming down, hanging at 2000 1/min. After shaking at some parts around the connection of the air filter, it's getting a little better. Most effect when moving the ?-sensor near the butterfly valve: moving away - rev's go up, moving to the valve - rev's go down slowly. Test drive: Still hanging sometimes at atbout 2000-3000 1/min. Any idea? Axel

No problem. Have closed the holes with tape for about 1/2 year because of defect heater valve. Axel

Hi, my '96 5-Speed (LSD-Diff?) is quite noisy in 4th and 5th. Has anybody tried 80W-110 in gearbox or diff? Axel
