#122: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 ITB in progress) pg.7 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 4:20 am ---- I really forgot to update this thread Not much has happened since though, but we have gathered all the parts needed to finish the build except for the last two (Cams and ECU) So hopefully it should be on the road till spring.
But to get you up to speed, we've bought all the little bits and pieces ( gaskets, screws etc.), and a couple more things (check the photos below) We've also decided not to go down the ITB path as it would attract too much unneeded attention from our boys in blue (this type of modification is not legal over here :/ ), so only a larger TB for now.
And some photos to go along:
btw by the looks of it I haven't posted much of the mechanical work up here...will do this today
#123: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 ITB in progress) pg.7 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 4:31 am ---- Okay looking at this thread I obviously forgot to update most of the mechanical stuff
So a bit of an update (again):
We bought 16 new hydraulic tappets (already installed) and as said before, a few other bit and bobs:
Main and push-rod bearings:
Stronger screws:
Polished exhaust valves:
Just a bit of posing:
more to come

#125: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 7:16 am ---- Must admit i have a few questions...
How on earth did you get your valves so dam clean?
How did you measure maximum valve lift?
What did you use to clean the sides of the pistons? As ive been advised with a simple copper wire brush?
And why did you choose PSA over PEC bearings for example?
#126: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 8:43 am ---- @Edward, we're working on it Yesterdays Time Attack (2nd place) restored my faith in the car so the build is back on the fast track. But I also need to do something about the back end being too soft....
@Addaz, We had them polished by some company (can't quite remember what's it called). Regarding the measurement and cleaning, I'd have to ask the mechanic he'll know how to explain it better than me But I don't think he used a wire brush as you can easily scratch the finish thus causing excessive cylinder wall wear. As for the bearings, we chose OEM do to being them the perfect fit and not overly expensive in regards to non-OEM ones.
We also had the engine block "leveled" (is this the right term?), as the guys who changed the head gasket used quite a peculiar way to clean the previous one off...
Much better now:
#127: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 10:11 am ---- I love the look of freshly skimmed engine components...
#128: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Sep 30, 2012 12:26 pm ---- Skimmed, that's the expression I was searching for
#129: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Schumi, Location: Istanbul / TurkeyPosted: Mon Oct 01, 2012 2:47 am ---- Hi Zian. Its looking good. That OEM Bearings must be to expensive. I saw a EW12 rebuild subject on some tuning site. I assume its yours.
#130: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 4:50 pm ---- Hi Scuhmi, no they're not that expensive compared with other brands, so we opted for the OEM parts. if it's peugeot206gti.net then it mine
Another small update...I was back at the track about a month ago and because I was running slicks, I noticed the car was definitely too soft at the back. So I decided to buy some torsion bars. But due to not really knowing if 21mm will be good enough I also bought 25mm xD They should arrive in a couple of weeks
#131: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 5:51 pm ---- Will be good to see this engine finished, what cams are you going for? (sorry if already mentioned, I haven't found any reference)
#132: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Goldin, Location: Pula , CroatiaPosted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 1:35 am ---- I like this project
Where from did you ordered torsion bars?
#133: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 6:07 am ---- @Andrewxps, CatCams 4901804 but I'm tempted to go for something a bit sharper (805 or 806).
@Goldin, thanks Directly from Peugeot Sport
#134: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 6:52 am ---- 21mm torsion bars are perfect for fast road use. 22mm bars are good but 23mm and bigger are way too hard especially for such a light rear end.
#135: Re: ZiAn's pride & joy 206GTi (EW12J4 in progress) pg.9 Author: Goldin, Location: Pula , CroatiaPosted: Mon Nov 05, 2012 7:19 am ---- I also ordered torsion bars from Peugeot Sport, but 21mm, because it is my everyday car, and I hope that they will fit well with H&R springs.
