So much space over the gearbox... so finally some room for my oilcooler..

Nice project Gregor.

Berry RST · 29-01-2008, 05:22 PM

finally......

It's about time

The space near the gearbox is great!!! I know!!! Plenty of room for a big filter and oil-cooler!
And how are things with the downpipe??

Cheers Berry

Mr.T · 29-01-2008, 10:09 PM

Wow after all that time a topic hehe. Good luck with the build mate

Dan · 29-01-2008, 11:48 PM

Looks perfect on the Borbet's! Lovely wheel!

Really suit the car

morley88 · 30-01-2008, 06:38 PM

Hiya mate, wots involved in swapping to efi, and what are the advantages, other than space above the gearbox?

fezzajsy · 30-01-2008, 08:25 PM

The advantage is you can run far more boost because you have the abitily to put in much more fuel.

Involved is : you need a efi head, injectors, fuel rail, frst/efi or stand alone management, wiring loom adapted, efi inlet, EFI flywheel with cps and some more .... lots of Mfi--> Efi comversion topics here on PF ..

Downpipe has yet to be constructed, first alll the headwork and then the downpipe.
Have to work on it anyways because of the fitment of thme lambda sensor..

Gregor · 31-01-2008, 03:31 PM

380 cc rover injectors

anyone know to what power these can be used??

Maki · 01-02-2008, 09:57 AM

good topic

I'm doing the same thing? ZVH with MS

Will be interesting to read your thread

Gregor · 03-02-2008, 06:23 PM

Exhaust side of the head all done now... zo waiting for bolts and gastket to put it on..

Also made some bonnet spacers to help cool the engine... and looks nice as wel

Maki · 03-02-2008, 06:35 PM

What bolts and gasket are you planing to use?
I've used felpro and standard RST head bolts as I was advised to use stretch ones, but to use them I had to machine the head in the place where bolts sit to go deeper by 8 mm

I'm Going to use a felpro gasket and cougar stretch bolts wich have to be shortened by about an inch or so.
Had it like this the last 2 years on my mfi ZVH.

Hm, never heard of that way, but should be OK

By the way did you study MS wiring already?

Mr.T · 03-02-2008, 07:34 PM

@ maki.

The wiring for the MS isnt that difficult mate. They are al marked.

It's not that simple when you have no marked wire harnes

I'm making it from old EFI loom and I'm using no relay board

And at the moment I'm stuck with fidle valve so was wondering maybe Gregor has thought about it already.

Mr.T · 03-02-2008, 09:01 PM

Ah ok. Why didn't you bought the MS loom then? it isnt that expensive.

Maki · 03-02-2008, 09:12 PM

This way thinking I should have bought cossie and get everything sorted in one package ... but that wasn't the point if you know what I mean

Gregor · 03-02-2008, 09:19 PM

I bought the MS loom so its all marked....

Maki · 03-02-2008, 09:47 PM

i'll use the 2i valve....

Gregor · 07-02-2008, 05:43 PM

Did some work again...

reground the valves/valveseats, put on new valvestemseals, put on the springs+valves,cam, thermostathousing and adj pulley.

Weird thing is the cam looks a littte off-set... but seems to have ran like this the whole time so shouldn't be a problem.

Got the bolts for the head and some other gaskets and nuts from the ford dealer.
Now waiting for the headgasket from burton so all can go on the bottom end

It is like that for one simple reason, this way lifters rotate all the time and don't wear in one place

Reason why i asked is because with my old mfi head with kent 35 cam the lobes were about in the middle of the follower holes so recconed it should be like that...... but learned something again..

wess-rs · 09-02-2008, 09:07 AM

greggie, wel done mate

when wil it be finest..??

keep up the good work

lee s1 · 09-02-2008, 07:07 PM

Gregor · 10-02-2008, 07:24 PM

Worked on the ports off the inlet manifold to match the head and placed it on the head together with e fuelrail and injectors

....

Mr.T · 10-02-2008, 07:32 PM

Nice work.

Now get that thing runnig

Gregor · 13-02-2008, 07:30 PM

While waiting for the headgastket , started to renew the brakelines as something wasn't right in the lines that were there.... the brakes didn't respond verry well so all new lines in there with a wilwood brake bias valve for the rear..
