Zetec Turbo on Megasquirt, new Turbo arrived. GT2871R :P - Page 6

Gregor · 13-02-2009, 07:05 PM

Well finally got the steel rods home today so can start building again.
Thanks to Jeroentje ( Mr.T ) for supplying them.

with some ARP bolts ofcourse.

Got the old ones out already.

Have to skim the pistons a little to get a good CR.

Also put on the waterpump.

Hope I can make some more progress then the last months..

Looking good mate, were the crowns of the pistons thick enough?
The exhaust manifold hasn't been done yet btw, the current welds were way too dirty to reweld. Also the collector tube is pushed in a few cm which will fuck up your exhaust gas flow.
Think the best way to go is redo it when it's bolted to the engine...

Hej mate,

Can machine 1 mm more off them and with the thicker gasket i'm coming to a 8.35:1 CR.. good enough.

We'll redo the manifold then when engine is built up..

turbo-herman · 17-02-2009, 09:46 PM

good progrees there mate.

now get cracking and build up the engine.

should be a nice runner when done

Got it from a mate of mine who works at a ford garage..

Supposed to be a ford gasket for engines that have been skimmed to much.

NEWTON · 15-04-2009, 12:41 AM

cool

P.S. as I look at you exhaust I think the liambda will be at the wrong angle. Like that it will get humidity and will be fucked

I've been told that it was before..

we'll see how long it holds and if it fails i'll reweld it before installing a new one

Stu @ Claims Care Centre · 04-05-2009, 09:17 AM

hi mate i take it by standard internal your on about valves etc in the head itself , around 220/250bhp before you have valve lift problems , with uprated valve springs easily genuine 300/330 at around 20 psi depending what inlet etc you run

Stu @ Claims Care Centre · 04-05-2009, 10:22 AM

and what valve spring option do you have and were from?

Gregor · 05-05-2009, 10:44 PM

Hi mate, my head is standard appart from uprated valve springs i bought from Ian Howel @ area-six.

Should see about 300 bhp

Great job Gregor. I hope that I will start with zetec turbo on MSQ this year. I need a few parts for it yet and I need to finished some other jobs. But I hope that one day I will start an engine like You.

danny_boy699 · 08-05-2009, 06:46 PM

nice work fella, what bracket did u use for the cable, if i'm right in thinking u used a fiesta turbo throttle body

Gregor · 08-05-2009, 09:49 PM

Thanx,

TB is from a xr2i for now.
Bracket is a modified fiesta one.

Gregor · 22-01-2010, 04:54 PM

A little update on my zetec turbo RST.
i didn't plan on taking the engine appart but when i saw dirt in the oil i removed the cams and saw they were damaged due to what i think is sand in my engine :'(

To be sure also removed the rods from the crank and also a lot of deepscratches here,
So decided to get me another set of head,cams and crank.
While i had the head of worked on the new head a little.

Also received my new gt2871 turbo and wastegate an acl bearings.

Hope to put all the goods together ones again soon

Glenn. · 22-01-2010, 05:23 PM

looks mate. I take it the engine is running a bit rich.
