Hola amigo, impresionante el bicho. Yo tengo un 214 y ando muy tentado de subir a un 220 turbo, si me puedes comentar si hay algo en particular que pueda dar problemas y debería prestarle atención a la hora de buscar uno.

Hola saludos desde León, lamento ver el video tantos años más tarde, me gustan los clásicos aunque tengo 2 rs turbos y soy de Ford, siempre me gustaron estos rover antiguos, estoy pensando en conseguir una unidad que merezca la pena el 220 turbo no ya que se me va se precio en estos tiempos, pero jamás pensé que el 220 GSI aceleraría así.. Los amigos me recomiendan el 216 GTI con motor honda.. Pero quiero algo para no ir al Corte todo el rato y que ande y no gaste la gasolinera ya que he visto los consumos de los motores hondas .. Y tienen que ir muy altos de vueltas ya que el par lo dan muy arriba que me recomiendas? Estoy entre 216 GTI o 220 gsi o GTI o el coupe no se muy bien la diferencia, aunque el 3 puertas es precioso y el que tiene techo tipo targa tb un saludo.

Hola, pues yo prefiero el version de tres puertas, porque el coupe es menos rigido, problemas con el techo solar, maletero terrble menos piezas y tal... El motor honda consume menos que el 220Gsi. El 220 es mas relajado de verrdad y es mas rapido, pero como dices siempre te hace sntir que tienes que correr conm el al limite... pero el motor tiene menos problemas tambien. Acabo de vender mu coupe turbo que ves un el otro video en mi canal por 3900e.

Si fuera posible, yo elegeria el turbo pero con 3 puertas... pero no hay en España... El motor honda es lo mas fiable y no pierde aceite como los motores de Rover... creo que yo compraria el honda si no vas a comprar el turbo

Had so many of these over the years, Cosworth and Subaru eaters. Next time dont go so close to red line as your power line dips loads towards red line. Try clutch slipping through each gear too have the turbo spooled right up ready before every gear change. People doing the civic B-16 conversions on them now but ive always preferred the T-16. You got a flying machine there buddy

+rob bob Hi Rob, im pretty sure this had the standard boost controller on at he time, i have a gizzmo electronic one now in the cab, but i only set it to the psi that was output by the original, when i tested it the max psi registered was 12.2psi, so i set this to the same but it has it throughout the rev range, the original limits it at low rpm to protect the gearbox, that has benn rebuilt though now with steel caged bearings so it can handle the extra torque low down. The whistling noise are the coupe windows, happens a lot, they need new seals or realigning.. Doesn't happen at normal speeds anyway so its not really an issue.
@info4jon8 жыл бұрын
+rob bob Just checked my comments, yes that was the original boost controller, changing it to get full boost lower down does make it feel much nicer, but its harder to drive as you have to have a very very light foot.

@glamfusion Que codigo lleva la caja original? Deberia estar una pegatina con el codigo, si empieza con k7, es el mismo que lo que tengo ahora (aparte de la segunda que yo cambie) La velocidad maxima no estoy cierto, llega a 240kph a 5900rpm (cuentakilometros) y pienso que siga mas pero no hay manera de probarlo. PSI, el coche lleva el contralador original y no tengo indicador de psi, pero voy a conseguir uno. De fabrica deberia estar entre 6 y 11.7psi dependiente de la temperatura del aire.
@info4jon13 жыл бұрын
@glamfusion no debes de pasar 12psi con los pistones originales porque la temperatura del aire sube demasiado (y no ganas potencia con el turbo original, ya que esta a su maximo) y los pistones queman.
@info4jon13 жыл бұрын
@glamfusion Es una cosa de preferencia personal, yo prefiero las velocidades mas largas de la caja original, ya que las de las 620ti son muy cortas y hay que darle mas revoluciones en la quinta para quedar en la misma velocidad. Si no lo utilzas en la autovia, supongo que la caja de la 620ti sirve.. Personalmente, yo tengo ahora una segunda un POCO mas corto del original y las demas son originales con todas las rodamientos nuevas y on torsen typo b.

@info4jon Hey champ. Soory for the late reply. The car was sadly a shitbox. The guy inherited it 4 years ago, and changed the oil once! So you camn guess the rest... The clutch was gone, oil dripping from the gearbox, and other sad stuff. I should have found it 4 years ago, when it was still a peach! I am still seaching, but have to get something as a daily runner now as my trusty old citroen zx is eating a gallon of water every week - lol

@sergiosasa Hi Sergio, its a K7BSUT so it should be from a late coupe turbo but someone must have changed the ratios for 4th and 5th. I have now put the correct ratios in for 4th and 5th and a slightly shorter 2nd so that the turbo comes in at lower Kph and gives slightly better acceleration. The 4th and 5th I think were diesel gears mixed with the coupe turbo 3.73 final drive which made them very long. now its much better and Im a lot happier :)

@info4jon Wow! thanks a lot for your time to give such an extensive answer - it has really helped me a lot. The one i´m looking at is an original example, with relatively low mileage (150.000 km). I have been looking for a long time, and the ones that looked like they have been tampered with, i´ve just ignored. I will be sure to bring your check list for when i have a look at the car this weekend, if it hasn´t been sold - fingers crossed!
@info4jon14 жыл бұрын
@testacorsa150 Look for engines that have had bleed valves fitted to boost pressures used over 11.5 psi. Dont touch them. Make sure your gearbox is quiet. Check refrigerant is clean, check for water in rear bootwell or evidence of leaks in the car. Boost should kick in at 2100rpm, if it doesn't something is wrong... Check for corroded hoses and stuff under the bonnet and check the oil is relatively clean. All levels should be between min and max, if they arent, its not been well looked after...
@info4jon14 жыл бұрын
@testacorsa150 Engines dont break unless people have been playing with them, the only thing is the slight oil weep form the oil feed between block and head. Its not detrimental. My gearbox is back together now, new torsen, 7 steel caged bearings except for one, all new.New oil seals and completely stripped down to component level, cleaned shimmed and reassembled. 4th and 5th are now original with a slightly shorter 2nd so the turbo kicks in a little quicker and pulls better. Things to look for:
