The gotech loom has 3 auxillary out puts, to switch on external solonoids etc, we used one for the vvt and made it advance the cam at 4k. Mines are gsxr1000 throttle bodies, using standard injectors but with uprated fuel pressure at 4.5bar. Power......no idea???

It was a Specialised Engines Stage 3 2.0 Zetec.
Stage 3 Head with Kent cam, piper pullies
4-2-1 wrapped manifold
decked pistons
lightened and balenced bottom end etc

About 170 BHP as standard so figures would have been very similar to yours.

I would expect 200 with your set up fella.

ShandzS1 · 29-08-2008, 12:59 PM

Will have to get it on the rollers at some point, once its MOT`d...

ShandzS1 · 05-09-2008, 11:29 PM

Well going to see bout an MOT the mora...... so hopefully doesnt need alot lol

I bought a gsxr 600 k2, so thats prob the main reason its not bn out lol
But i took it out the back roads, and it went realy well! But just bn sitting in my driveway ever since.... Have to get my finger out and get it MOT`d!!!

craigos · 15-09-2008, 06:59 PM

love that car could just do with the white bits on the bumpers black again and spoilers

vroooom ptssssh · 15-09-2008, 07:46 PM

Looks good!

must go well.

are you considering the 6speed box? do you know if it clears the servo/master cylinder when fitted? if not what fouls it? cheers.

Nah it takes a bit of work to fit it, and i`m happy with the BC box, not realy sure, dont think it comes close to the servo/master cyl, you are better speaking to simon at sitech racing who has fitted one to his S2. Just drop him a PM.....

vroooom ptssssh · 15-09-2008, 08:17 PM

I've sent Si a mesage through his website might try PM tho!

cheers, and keep up the good work!

ShandzS1 · 15-09-2008, 09:57 PM

Either would do i guess....., so why u going the 6-speed route? Strength+top end??

vroooom ptssssh · 16-09-2008, 12:20 AM

hoping to have 300bhp atw+ so for strength, 6 gears, hyd clutch, it fits in with not allot of hassle and comes with the St170 lump so for me it makes sense, the MTX75 needs inner wing mods and Im not up for that as my cars jus been painted, not going to use the St170 mount at the top of the box, will use the original RST mount at front and back with made up brackets!

ShandzS1 · 16-09-2008, 07:51 PM

Sounds good!! Make a copy of them mounts and al have a set.....lol

How u gettin on wi those mounts??

vroooom ptssssh · 25-09-2008, 08:07 PM

Not got engine or box yet, will be a wee while yet mate!

ShandzS1 · 22-10-2008, 11:22 AM

Big up-date!! its mot`d lol! Been out in it and broke it, the mk4 engine mount rubber split and the water pump hit the chassis leg and made a horrible noise and had to be towed home, booo!!!. So removed it and fitted a brand new mk3 mount i had from the zetec conv. And seems to be going realy well, hope to get it on a set of rollers soon!

rst s2 · 22-10-2008, 11:48 AM

nice conversion. be interested to see what figures it pulls.

Yeah, alot of people say 200bhp with my set-up, but i`d be happy with around 180 mark.....

scotty86d · 28-10-2008, 01:42 AM

You got any pics of the modded exhaust manifold?

Not at the moment, will get some for u, once i get my new phone....

ShandzS1 · 31-10-2008, 06:17 PM

Going to paint the back seat and boot floor section, any opinions on colour...???

glensport · 31-10-2008, 10:54 PM

white! looking good mate love the s1 as well, so for daily use what would u recommend the standard st170 or just a good old cheap zetec............

ShandzS1 · 01-11-2008, 12:43 AM

White.....mmmmm, was thinkin matt black? Well its hard to have a standard st170 as it a pain to run it on standard ford managment, "black oak system" ive bn told makes it hard to wire up, as it links up to the complete cars loom, its bn done but was a mare to do....
So yeah easy n cheap 130bhp zetec with filter and exhaust, mine went realy good, but the hunger for more power got the better of me and u can see what happens.....lol

ShandzS1 · 12-11-2008, 10:28 PM

Had it up at crail 1/4 mile at the wk-end, best was a 14.9 but had crap tyres and kept missing 3rd, so puma linkage is on its way!

ShandzS1 · 17-11-2008, 11:30 AM

Got the puma gearlinkage fitted yesterday, what a difference compared to the old 16i linkage!

Ade · 17-11-2008, 11:39 AM

Puma linkage?! Never heard of that one.... tell me more!

COCHYN · 17-11-2008, 11:47 AM

Alrite Ade, hows the motor coming along???

Yeah, heard about it somewhere and thot i`d try it, so aquired a puma 1.7 linkage, and bolted it to the gearbox and trimmed down the mount at the stick end and secured it to the tunnel, adjusted the linkage and hey-presto! Works a treat, almost like quick-shift compared to the original 16i linkage i had on it.

So if ur 20-year old linkage is like stirring soup, and u cant find a good s1-s2 linkage, a cheap puma linkage is the way ahead!

Intresting!! Can't honestly remember how good or bad the linkage is on mine, been that long since i drove it

It's coming along, now got an empty bay and metal where the rusty holes once were

ShandzS1 · 18-11-2008, 11:35 PM

Well its always good to remember!
