Very very nice mate. Loving the ST170 conversion. Your air filter arrangement seems to change every time you post

You might want to get some exhaust heatwrap for it as well mate

they are off the 2004 Gixer 1000.

the plan was 2ltr zetec in a mk5 fiesta, but now building a Mark Nordon racing Kit car with an R1 motor. also bought a new car but you wont like me if you know what it is! in a yr or so im looking into cossie ownership

ShandzS1 · 19-06-2008, 11:43 PM

I`ll give u a shout soon! If u went ahead with fitting them on the zetec, how would u get a vacum for the brakes?

muz · 20-06-2008, 12:21 AM

Take the vacuum from the old injecter ports. This was my old engine.

You should be able to make it out.

Spammage · 20-06-2008, 08:44 AM

Looking quality mate how hard was it to mod the top mount to fit? is it like modding the cvh one to get a standard zetec to fit? Again it's looking awesome bet it shifts abit as well!!!!

Yeah almost the same, instead of moving 1 hole on the zetec its 2 holes on the st.
yeah it goes well when the vvt kicks in! But wanting more, so bike bodies are on the cards.....

muz · 20-06-2008, 11:19 PM

It was broken before it ever got the chance to run. The previous owner got 180 odd BHP though on an engine that had standard manifolds etc, just TB's,Megasquirt and cams really. I would guess the set up I had would have knocked on the door of 190-200BHP.

ShandzS1 · 20-06-2008, 11:23 PM

So what spec did u have?
So with my st170 running vvt, gotech, gsxr bodies= 200bhp??????

Spammage · 22-06-2008, 12:57 PM

Cheers mate keeping me options open on engine swaps!!! Againg looking amazing keep up the work!!!

Thanks! yeah there is loads of options u can do..... just depends what u want out of it, and how much green u got to spend.....

GTi_Tom · 28-06-2008, 05:31 PM

Looks great mate, I'm rather jealous!

How would you rate the vvt then against an engine without it?

Well i had a 130bhp zetec in it before and it had way more torque bottom end, unlike the st motor, but when it hits 5k the bhp figure is much better than the zetec. Just depends what ur wanting out of it, mines for track days etc, so most of the time it will be above 5k......

ShandzS1 · 04-07-2008, 10:59 PM

Well little up-date, got sum cheap tb`s off a mate, gsxr1000. So they will be fitted to the st plastic inlet sn and then bk to sitechracing for a re-map!

ShandzS1 · 07-07-2008, 12:07 AM

Heard from si today, fastford are doing a company profile on sitechracing later this wk, and he wants the car there, so should be in fastford as a little feature......

STFUN · 07-07-2008, 01:05 AM

I noticed you mention taking the revs up to 8000rpm. Have you fitted a billet gear oil pump ?
Great project

ShandzS1 · 07-07-2008, 07:29 PM

No, engine is standard.... si has took his to 8500 with no probs, so we set the rev limit at 7800

ShandzS1 · 17-07-2008, 11:09 AM

Spoke to si, and i will be looking into a billet gear oil pump, and hopefully will be going up on monday to fit the gsxr bodies. Hopefully give me more midrange torque and bhp, and si spoke bout setting the vvt to come in at 4.5k. So will see how it goes.....

pa_sjo · 17-07-2008, 11:21 AM

The VVT on the ST170 doesn't 'come in'? It's there all the time!

pani_k · 17-07-2008, 02:06 PM

I thought it wasn't always there and just changed to a high lift and longer profile lobe after certain rpm like the VTEC?

pa_sjo · 17-07-2008, 05:37 PM

No, it's completely variable.

ShandzS1 · 20-07-2008, 12:57 AM

Mines is set to advance the cam at a certain rpm..... like VTEC

Gotech mfi pro engine managment, from sitech racing....

ShandzS1 · 21-07-2008, 07:43 PM

Been up at si`s today and fitted the gsxr throttle bodies and did a little mapping to get it running, he will finish it tomorrow and al be able to pick it up sometime this wk....

Ad4m RST · 22-07-2008, 04:18 PM

That must sound pure evil

Drive a 170 as my everyday motor and it's always bugged me low down the revs, but do love the engine.

Whats a rough cost on bodies, ECU and a remap. Prob a length of string question but this has really got me thinking

ShandzS1 · 22-07-2008, 06:45 PM

U`ll pick up bodies on e-bay for £100 ish.... And speak to si at sitechracing about what gotech managment u want to run... prob around £500 for ecu+loom and then mapping on top. Plus the fitting of the bodies etc.......

ShandzS1 · 23-07-2008, 06:02 PM

Picking it up tomorrow after work, si has set the vvt to kick in at 4k and it has gained more midrange power, so next will be a power run on the rollers to see what its kicking out!!!

pani_k · 23-07-2008, 06:06 PM

sweet!!

ShandzS1 · 24-07-2008, 06:55 PM

Just been and picked it up, took it for a spin before i put it on the trailer and what a difference!!! Pulls good all through the revs and lots more torque low down and more responsive!
Just a pic for uze of his new place, should be in fastford next month......

ShandzS1 · 19-08-2008, 09:34 PM

Just got the latest fastford, and theres a few pics of it on the sitech page, but a bit disapointed there is no mention of it.....

ShandzS1 · 19-08-2008, 09:46 PM

Heres a few pics that Ade took at sitech racing.....

Roosie · 25-08-2008, 03:35 PM

im doing the exact conversion to my mk2 escort but using emerald managment. what more is need to the loom as it a VVT than on a traditional zetec! im suing same carbs etc what power are you hoping? and what injectors you running

Twins · 25-08-2008, 04:20 PM
