Rotang!

[Jamie R]

Well, were a step closer.....

The 105e has made its way into the workshop today as the Lada is ready to go to the painters.

Aside from distractions like funky mopeds and house extensions in the mix were getting this thing sized up.

The engine bay isnt the biggest, luckily nether is the 13b.

But first things first, it needs a good name, the Rotang is the best I can conjur up, if anyone wants to make any suggestions im happy to adopt the good ones

So ignoring the middle part of the bulkhead that slightly curves backwards....
The Anglia engine bay is 540mm long.
My 13b PP which will use a 12a front cover, if I use a 12a water pump it will be 470mm from bellhousing face to front pulley.

I don't want to cut the bulkhead up where the 2 x heater holes are at this point. So it's smuggle the engine up the trans a bit. Ditch the 12a water pump, smuggle the rad further in the front panel or relocate the rad to the boot which I'm not a fan of either

70mm gap is a bit skinny for a rad in this scenario.

For the eagle eyed amongst you.... you'll see the n/s chassis leg needs fitting as the first job. I have a new one to fit, just need to jig it all up first then get the engine in.

It also may end up being a left hooker too

It can be done, by removing the inner front panel and smuggling the radiator further forward.

A nice install of a 13b FD turbo with no bulkhead mods

As a bonus today, I emptied the parts from inside to find some vented discs with some AP Lockheed 4 piston callipers originally from an Austin Princess.

A set up I used on my mk1 escort back in the day and worked well

Wow! What a little wonder! Absolutely love Anglias. You won't have any weight issues with this one! Looks like it will be an Ang13B rather than an Ang10A. 

And I, in my deep ignorance thought the Rotang would be a Rotary Mustang!     

Somehow reluctant to suggest The Wanklia or The Rotlia as alternatives. Probably best to stick to The Rotang.

Unless you call her Felixia

Evening all, started mocking up a block out of 12a plates and renesis housings without any rotors or e-shaft for the purpose of mounting it in an optimal position

When bolting on the front cover I noticed another threaded hole near where the omp used to reside.

At first I thought it was for oil cooler, but there is a port on the other side of front cover and the other on the rear plate

So any ideas A turbo return line ?

Btw the engine is upside down so the hole is below the omp lol

Before you all think I'm mad, (well you do anyway) the 12a in the lada doesn't have this threaded hole
