my first real post, 3dr engine update & finished 4now
had my 3 door now for 4 years, Dave jacobs at Kensington Autos has Been sorting it out now for a couple of months trying to get it ready for summer for me, had ecu problems and cant stop buying new parts, Big thanks to Mike Rainbird randbmotorsport for supplying a lot of parts and good advice but has made my bank balance shrink, is nearly ready now
Here’s a few pics
My engine a while back
Running ALS now so taking extra caution
New pulleys and a general clean up
Resprayed inlet and throttle body
Engine going in
Gave the header tank a clean ant come out to bad , might get crome tanks and swil pot at ford fair but not to sure yet
Bye, to the old rad was on its way out
Hello, nice bit of kit from mike rainbird I got the lot, proalloy intercooler, rad and fans
Running coil pack so got the double bracket
Engine in now not a lot to do just got to tided engine loom, which is from ryan at carlooms uk, get the rocker cover redone and make a heat shield, not gonna use ford one even know just bought a brand new one, and then set it up !!!!
Its wasn’t just a clean up it went from a bit of up grade as well, its had greys as well as new map and other little bits and bobs, here she is just been out for a rip, unfortunately the cluch is not holding so had to put boost at about 22psi but it still fu..king moves
So I think another visit to mikes shop will be needed
Here’s a couple more pics
Had to get this redone looks pants
couple of things wanna sort out, the air fillter has got to go not sure on what to go for tho Original air box, or group A..........? and that little battery would like a ford one if any one can get it a bit cheaper don’t wanna pay 120 pound for one
