Thats weird because cups and ph1 normally both have the one piece shafts so I would have expected it to clear, unless one of the cars (ie the cup you bought or the ph1 you have now) has 2 piece shafts?

If so just use the shaft that came with the engine on your car.

I thought the driveshafts on a cup and ph1 were different that's what I got told anyway.. Also got to get hold of a mate to do a touch of welding tomorrow as whoever welded the oil return pipe on the sump was obviously pissed.. Had silicone around the outside when I went to put the actual piping on it just fell out :/

Going to be one hell of a busy day tomorrow

I had to swap to 2 piece shafts due to this problem. The oil return hit the gaiter of the one piece shaft but the fell between each of the gaiters on the 2 piece shafts.

I would cancel the ,aping as you don't want to have to cancel a mapping session half way through due to issues caused with making do or rushing something. Get the car spot on before taking it. I thought from the start you had set yourself a very short deadline for someone who hadnt carried out one before.

Oil returns a weird one, can't see why it would be different on your car, do you have a picture?

They are different shafts but the inner end is only significantly different on the Ph2 non cup, as thats the ones with the equal length kit which means the inner cv sits in a different place.

Haven't got a picture at minute of mine but it wasn't an elbow he had come out then a 45' up kind of looked s**t tbh

I'm going to get it done with the elbow now I've seen that..

So the cup drive shaft could go onto the ph1 is that what your saying chip?

No im not saying that, im saying if the cup has been fitted with a ph2 non cup shaft, you would need to fit that to the ph1 if you wanted to have the return in the same place as before.

But if you are getting it welded anyway, just get it welded in a place that suits the shaft on your ph1 already.

Right get you now..

Ill put the shaft on tomorrow then decide where best place for it to go is. That's the only thing holding me up ATM along with the oils.

What would you reckon about fitting the engine in and connecting the return pipe up while its in or too akward to get to?

As welder might not be able to get till afternoon and don't want to lose all them hours doing nothing.

Yes mate he explained that as well as I didn't know. I could actually use my other sump now and just fit a new piece to that

Been keeping an eye on this but not saying much. This thread would make good reference for anyone building a Turbo Clio in the future with all the info in here :)

Look forward to seeing the results once it's in and mapped :)

My reutrn has worked out reasonably well (see project thread), and thats using a 1 piece shaft. Its a shame i cross threaded the thread on the sump, it does up tight (but is stiff), and does leak :(

Im going to drill and tap a return into the engine block next time.

You can get a washing machine hose which is a full size hose with a moulded plastic pipe on the end. Just cut the fixing off the end and its perfect.
