fordie2581 · 29-09-2008, 07:40 PM

Trial fitting the zetec in it's new bay. All look's good but the exhaust manifold is too close to the
slam panel. Can't get the manifold on or off with out removing exhaust stud's first. Which is near
on impossible with the manifold design. So i'll be cutting out some of the slam panel. Might have
trouble with the external wastegate and rad clearance yet.
But is nice to see it in tho.

That manifold is a good design, but likely to crack IMO. Brace it.

fordie2581 · 02-10-2008, 07:27 PM

Started on the slam panel. Also got myself a wastegate 44mm.
Bigger than i thought it would be. I think it look's mad on a mk4 Escort.

fordie2581 · 11-12-2008, 09:06 PM

Progress has been slow. Been cold and lazy. Not stopped me spending though.
Focus rs calipers, Airtec rad, Stack tacho, Wideband gauge.
Will get on with it again soon.

little bram · 11-12-2008, 10:23 PM

lv it m8. you got a realy good tim when you ran the old engine. you going to hav to get some good tyres to get that extra power down now m8

could you pm me the web address where you got your pistions and rods from plz

roro22 · 11-12-2008, 10:47 PM

looking good so far dude,i will be intrigued to see what times you get, btw i took part in a intercooler test and i was amazed how well the AirTec coolers did

blueskies85 · 12-12-2008, 07:30 PM

brilliant work mate, Im impressed and will prob nick your spec for the bottom end. Did you get your pistons and rods in a package and if so how much did they set you back if you dont mind me asking? Nice work on the intercooler, i got a pace double thick one and have got it mounted outside the front bumper... looks shit but keeps the temps lower, ill change it when i drop a new lump in. Pace make some shit intercoolers yet they have a great rep outside the ford community!

little bram · 13-12-2008, 04:43 PM

thanks for the address m8. you done anymore

blueskies85 · 13-12-2008, 05:31 PM

thanks for the pm mate, will help out alot. I know I asked you this question but thought id put it out to everyone on here too.

Je pistons with eagle rod package says on the site that it can take 900hp... ignoring that, dont you think that a compression ratio of 9to1 is a little high? Am looking into this combination but would like compression a little lower either 8 to one or 7.5 to one. Having researched the zetec crank being good for 400hp a target output of 350 is decent I think but am a little dubious of the 9 to 1 comp ration, seems a little high to me. I know rally cars have that sort of ratio but there engines get rebuilt alot more often than id care to rebuild mine
