Ok update time, dropped the car off at Grove Garage on Saturday. The Old OFAB ECU and loom will be removed and replaced with a new Pectel T2 + loom. Injectors changed plus new fuel system. Then it’s ready for a Live Map. Some Pics Just before leaving after giving it a wash. I have gone back to amber indicators. Now do i leave the Intercooler how it is or paint it black?

Wooo mapping!

Thought about trying some standard rear lights on it too?

Wait till the bumpers done to decide on the cooler colour!

[COCHYN]

Looks great, but 2 points. Slightly larger cooler might be beneficial fella, uprate those breaks with 2 extra pistons and have the inlet pipe coated because it most suffer from serius heat soak issue being so close to the manifold and turbo

[rob060977]

simalar looking car to mine but mine is a differant colour and is a mk6 also i have a zetec turbo in mine but i have same gti body kit same wheels

[Ollie MK5 Turbo]

Will have to see what the ACTs are like when back from mapping.
The intercooler was perfect when running my 300bhp zvh at 22psi.

The xover is not a big problem. the air is moving so fast its not going to have time to heat up. After a long run the xover is always nice and cool. same the the inlet.

[Matt carter]

Looks good as it is

Update time... The last update was coming up to five months old.

The management is now moved over to Pectel T2.

When out mapping its come apparent that the alloy RS turbo radiator is not up to the job of cooling the water. So it's now rethink time for my cooling.

I am going to change from the MK 4 escort RS turbo CVH radiator to a Zetec MK5/6 type. Which is wider and taller and comes with the bonus that I can fit water houses made for my car.

After trying out an old dummy radiator from the scrap yard I decided to book my car into Pro Alloy for it to be made in alloy and at the same time I may as well get an intercooler to suit.

So last weekend with the help of Gus the car got trailed up to Pro alloy for some custom upgrades.

Thanks Gus you are a top bloke. Hope to catch up soon at a show.

To get full advantage of a custom radiator & intercooler I have had my bumper cut out. I have tried to style it like the Focus RS MK1. Looks a bit out of place atm but when the cooler is fitted and all is painted black I think it will look fine.

Also over months I have removed the CVH EFI inlet manifold and replaced it with a standard 1.8/2.0 focus inlet manifold. This will be a better setup until I make the jump to a Area-Six inlet.

New Inlet-




Bumper cut out-



Car of the trailer- Thanks Gus




Thats it for now.

[Zetecfiesta]

nice car, will be good to see the pro alloy work

[tezmanian devil]

awesome job so far mate, not sure about the front bumper though??
how much is your alloy rad costing you if you dont mind me asking? im also in need of a alloy zetec rad

with your blacktop engine and mtx box, did you have any trouble fitting the starter motor? i havn't got round to fitting mine yet, but it look's like the sump might get in the way of fitting the starter??
also, what clutch and flywheel are you using?

[Max M4X WW]

Is that inlet plastic?

yeah think they are plastic on black tops.

[massivewangers]

Glad to see some updates, love this car.

How much can the plastic inlet deal with? I wasn't sure how well they coped.

I'm not totally sure on the bumper, but will reserve judgement til it's all done!

[fezzajsy]

looking good mate,cant wait to see it all finished.

[CarbonRick]

Looks fantastic fella. I can see that bumper looking the biz once painted..
Keep the updates coming!

[frayz]

Looking good fella, cant wait to see it with the Pro Alloy bits

[jonny s2]

just read this, i like

[youngben]

there are focus rs's running 24psi and 370bhp on the same inlet! they aint the best and cant be a weak point but they do the job! be much better of with a uprated one though to finnish off that spec

[COCHYN]

That is looking well there Ollie, give us a shout if you need an inlet of the similar type to Area Six doing

[Ollie MK5 Turbo]

To get the starter to fit you have to remove some of the webbing on the sump. How much is down to how big your starter is as you can get different sizes. not a hard job as the sump is alloy.

The inlet I am happy with as its lots better than the CVH type. Im not going to get the full potential out of the engine but i am fine to save that for another day.

I hope to update soon with some pics from Pro

[Ollie MK5 Turbo]

Some pics of the throttle and inlet build.

You can see in the background I had to make my own gasket.


My injectors and pressure regulator fitted to the rail plus the throttle.

i thought i'd have to alter it abit, oh well, should be easy enough.
what about your clutch? that's the only bit im strugleing with atm, no one can seem to help me with that, some people say a focus rs one will fit, other's say it need's grinding down to fit the mtx box, what are you using? and when did you get it from? pppllleeeaaaasssseeee help

also, do you no if pro-alloy will be putting and zetec rad's into production once they've done your's? all the alloy rad's i can find are for rst's

[Rides]

sweet would love my RS2000 4x4 to have a lot more power.. but means a lot of cash as the 4x4 system cant take that much power.. would all need uprated..

imo dont do it only becasue the transfer box cant take it and i did 2 of them fuckers at 400 pounds a time great car to drive only if that transfer box as good for 300 bhp i would of keeped it

[nealo]

Quality quality motor Ollie, its put thoughts in my head now that if my spare CVH engine is ok - maybe i should buy a nice red escort 3 dr gti and fit the engine into it

The engine is a late spec and has EFI conversion possibilitys haha

yeah I know seen the damage your's did, that was nasty... well not looking for massive amounts of BHP maybe something around 200-250bhp.. keep it a bit reliable..and try not to mash the transfer box hopefully lol.... can't they not be upgraded! to handle a bit more power???

As for the clutch you have loads of options.
You can use-
CVH EFI flywheel and a 215/220mm clutch.
Zetec flywheel and use a 240mm clutch.
Zetec flywheel and drill and tap it for a cosworth clutch cover and use a cosworth clutch.

Lots of options.

Pro alloy have made mk5/6 zetec radiators in the past.
Chrissy_bwoy off this forum had one made back in 2005.

just bought a focus rs clutch, hopfully should be okay...?
i'll get on pro alloy's case tomorrow then, see if they can sort somthing out for me, might just take my car up there like you have, then they can make somthing to suit.

how's your coming on, when you expecting to have it back?

[crazycage]

a focus rs clutch wont fit in the rs2000 gearbox.

[Ollie MK5 Turbo]

You can use a focus RS clutch but you cant use the focus RS clutch cover in a RS2000 MTx75. You will have to use the clutch cover from a zetec escort with a mtx75.

Te throttle body is from a Mondeo, its bored out from 55mm to 60mm, and fitted with new butterfly plate.

[tezmanian devil]

update's?

[Ollie MK5 Turbo]

Ok update time,

I am picking the car up tonight from Pro Alloy with the help of Dave (Yum). Thanks, Dave.

The list of things I have had done is quite long, but for now a sneak peak of Pro Alloys work.
