always wanted a coue 220 turbo when I was young. Just about the only Rover I've ever liked.

 

[D.K]

I had a 220 GTI aswell, I traded it in for the turbo and most of the mods on the GTI came off and went onto the turbo which saved a bit of money, my mate bought it off me when I got my LCR and he has wrecked it

about time darren you got the 220 coupe on here, yours looked spot on...and these are hella fast...only thing wrong with them is they run soooo hot....engine is at optimum temp about 5-8 mins...i told you my mate blew his 220 engine up on the motorway didnt i?

 

[D.K]

I was always trying to avoid traffic jams cos of the heat build up, i dont think the stupid chrome grill helped.
Did your mate get his fixed ???

 

[DOLBY]

no mate, he had to sell for parts on ebay...a real shame cos it was immaculate. your engine pic looks killer also. the design of the cooling on these cars is real bad, is there even an intercooler?, funny thing is it still shifts even tho they get hot..

 

[D.K]

Yeah it had an intercooler but it was realy small, You can just see it behind the fans in the pic, it's only about 6" high and it's a lot of work to fit a bigger one, They also had an oil cooler that sat behind the engine at the bottom but that was small aswell.

You have a very clean looking care mate Looks very very good

 

[D.K]

Thanks mate

Nice car sir!!

 

[D.K]

I noticed my car was making a new noise yesterday It was makeing a sucking noise when under boost, It was boosting up Ok but it did'nt hold the boost aswell as it normally does, upon inspection I found a split hose comeing from the charge pipe Boost leak, at least it was'nt anything to bad.

Yipeee Bit's arrived from Forge today
I ordered a meter of reinforced silicon tubing, http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=0022SH&product=FMSH-08
I used about 700mm of the tube and ran it down the tip and back up the side of the DV, over the top of the engine and then onto the charge pipe. It's a pretty easy job and only took and 45 min's.

Old pipe and off cut of the new pipe

The old pipe and split around and along the top of the pipe where it joined the charge pipe

End view of reinforced silicon tubing

All fitted and working with NO boost leaks

 

[D.K]

I ordered a few other bit's from Forge awell, Uprated brake vacuum pipe and some extra 4mm silicon vacuum tubing to maybe replace some of the vacuum tubes in the engine bay.
