HaggisTurbo

Hi guys,

Just finishing off sourcing all the parts to get my car from 1.6 CVH Mfi (Non Turbo) to my zetec turbo blacktop.

Is there anything specific I will need given that I am going from N/A to Blacktop Turbo rather than Mfi Turbo to ZT other than the parts mentioned in Karlos' guide.

-Will I use the same coolant hoses etc or will I need some from a S2?
-I take it I will need an uprated Radiator or will the standard one ok?
-I will source an intercooler, Would I be best with a half size or full FMIC?
-Will the Fuel pump be up to it or will I need an uprated one of them too?
-What model of Siemens Deka injectors do I need?

Wiring wise I have a full megasquirt loom so that should sort that side of things out.

Apologies for all the questions, just don''t want to come unstuck when doing the build

If the mfi fuel pump is the same as the rst pump you will be fine with that if its a good one.

Coollant hoses may need modding a bit, having said that I had to mod my rst hoses, you will find out when building it all up.

Rst rad will be needed as its narrower than the mfi item, allowing the boost pipes to fit into the engine bay.

Front mount intercooler and twin fans is what you need.

Siemens Deka 630cc are decent and cost effective, but I suppose it all depends on the target bhp etc. (i run 630cc)

You will probably come across various little obstacles during the build.

Thanks Stu, I didnt know that about the rad being thinner, Will need to source myself one of them, I have a GRS front mount, would that do with the twin fans I take it? Im also dubious about drilling the head for a sensor is there not a pipe you can buy that has a sensor boss inside it as it comes out the housing?, Im sure I had one on a previous ford so would be interested how to overcome that one,

Think i will leave the pump as is and attach a gauge to it see how much fuel it supplies, it is the 1.6 mfi so I hope the pump is up to the task.

Now comes the fun part lol,

Where did you get the solid boost pipe to go from the cooler to the throttle body? is an ebay one good enough?

Cheers mate

I got pretty much all my pipework/hoses from autosiliconehoses.com via ebay. It taken a bit of head scratching working out the lengths and angles for the bends etc

I would say you really want the coolant temp sensor in the engine rather than in a hose, I fitted my cvh temp gauge sender into a adapter in the top hose though as I wasn't sure on tapping/drilling for a tapered sensor.

There is a upgraded rst s2 aloy rad on ebay I've heard good feedback on.

Fancy Pm'ming me the link mate? did you go for the hose option too for the gauge sensor?

I drilled the head for engine managment coolant temp sensor. (cossie sensor)

Gauge sensor is in top hose, i will look for the link for adapter at weekend.
