Hello

Hope all is well.

Just a quick question, is Ian still building monster zetecs?

Since my old man passed away end of February, myself and some relatives have decided to turn his MK1 Focus into a time attack car and name it after him. Would be a nice way to remember him and have everyone in the family come out for the day and do something fun to honor him.

I have a CGI block bubble wrapped and a WRC Zetec Cosworth Cylinder head that I bought back in 2008. Was supposed to go into a Fiesta but ended up in the garage on the shelf.

Contact number or details would be great.

Cheers

Hung up the spanners years go I was told. Devil Developments has now taken the crown for monster Zetec turbos hitting 600 bhp

Ian will still do one off' snow and again, I'm sure if you spoke to him with your story he might poss help you out, or as said above lee at devil is a good lad with a lot of knowledge on zetecs, what are your plans?

The Underdog

why did he stop? what does he do now for work, just curious.

nevsrevs

He never did it as a full time job, just a hobby job, he did work for the water board if memory serves me correct. The most genuine guy I have ever dealt with in this industry.

Any pictures of the wrc head?

Pardeep

Good to know fella.

Plans are a 400bhp Response engine. Car is to be built for FWD Time Attack.

Though the engine will be capable of 600bhp+ it's more about response and less power. So an EFR twin scroll would be the turbo choice.

However, I have the main parts to the engine I want to build. Now just need to find someone to bore the block for Cosworth Pistons.

Pardeep

I'll take some of the block and head this weekend when I finally pull them off the shelf!

Gadget

Wow, What a nice idea, getting the family involved in remeberence! Would be great to see!

I would give lee a shout too at devil as he can also map the car to suit the engine spec.

Pm'd you a contact email for Ian. (with permission)

Pardeep

Thanks bud.

Pardeep

I will give him a shout this week. Im hoping he can bore the CGI block for me.

Restrictor in turbo and big potential power.
Talk to devil developments, heard great things.

Ian still does some but if I remember right
He trades for a few years then takes a year out
And so on so on
I worked with him on some parts the other year
Very nice genuine man
And if Zetec e where my cup of tea then I would use him
Straight away

Agree totally with this he build my engine and it was perfect, plus his customer service in my experience was second to none!

Lee had a CGI block there awhile ago, so worth giving him a call to see how far he got with it.

Pardeep

It's sure as hell an expensive way but money is meaningless when losing a parent. I rather have my Dad back than spend 15/20k.

Have heard back from Ian thanks to Dave. Good things are about to happen

Just need to find a place to cage the shell, get MK1 RS Front and Rear Quarter Panels then a nice shade of white with a hint of silver will be the color of choice.

nevsrevs

Give my mate Matt aka urchfab about cage, reach him through face page, say Rog said to give you a shout.

Ian is a great guy , he will bend over backwards to help as long as you are a genuine customer , I've heard him talk on the phone for hours trying to help people who haven't even purchased anything from him lol . If you are using ian to build your engine then go and see Jim at alloy racing fabs , he does all Ian's inlet manifold welding and he did my cage and fab which was a work of art.
Very good price as well

Cheers paul
