Thank's..
Stripped interior, Cut out spare wheel well and ally plated,
Cut out sunroof and ally plated but now there's carbon
roof's for mk4's i'll be getting some of that. No spoiler. Cut out
inside of boot lid and bonnet. Things like that. I've got a roll
cage now though so weight may be more this time round.
When it's all done i'll get to the weigh bridge.

wess-rs · 14-12-2008, 12:50 PM

Good project, keep updates coming !!

fordie2581 · 15-12-2008, 05:34 PM

Not finished yet but give's an idea on how the rad had
to be moved to clear the wastegate.

Steve Rst · 15-12-2008, 06:10 PM

What sort of power are you expecting?

Any idea how much the engine has cost so far?

Should be good for 350 bhp.
As for cost i've kept receipt's it's just
being brave enough to add it all up.
ALOT

My manifold is from a 105ps escort and has SO on the back and fitted on a 2.0. The ports do look smaller than my 2.0 manifold and seems to strangle the engine at high revs. How does the rs1800 manifold compare to the sivertop 2.0 one? Its the same one as the 1.8 115ps engine and they use the 105ps cams and throttle body.

saph4be · 26-09-2009, 02:40 PM

sure a escort did a 11 second once a while ago built by severn valley IIRC was jacked up on back end? good luck mate

If the inlet has SO on the back its off a105PS car. SO = Standard Output
If it has HO on the back its an RS1800/130PS Manifold. HO = High Output.

I suppose the HO manifold flows better than the plastic 2.0 ones as well.

There was a big debate about this as it was timed at York Dragway at the time and people were saying there was a problem with the timing gear at York?

Don't know the full ins and out of it all but it was something along them lines?

and the fact it never done it again says a lot lol.

fordie2581 · 06-10-2009, 06:02 PM

Just have to wait and see what time i get.

Carbon roof is on made by phil at carbon delight

How much weight did you safe?

fordie2581 · 06-10-2009, 07:41 PM

I don't know how much weight i've saved yet, just gonna wait
until it's all built and finished before i get it on the weigh bridge
again - probably heavier this time as it's a bigger engine, has a
roll cage and things like that

Maki · 06-10-2009, 08:07 PM

I remember that loosing sunroof made a diferance, but making plastic doors wasn't a good idea so I skipped that

frsjon · 06-10-2009, 08:13 PM

looking good mate , cant wait to see how it performs...

Correct, was quite some time ago when York were still using none-certified timing equipment. If that car came out and ran at Pod today think it'd struggle to see a 12 personally, but hey ho...
They are running TSI now (iirc... same as Pod) - had a looooong lesson about timing equipment with the boss man up there last time we went

Good luck with the build anyway fella, I personally find it highly unlikely that you'll even see a mid 12 - FWD Ford's just don't seem to be able to go quickly down the 1/4 - not when compared to the Honda's, VW's and Vauxhalls in this country anyway.
And thats speaking from the experience of watching a 400 horse zetec turbo mk4 do run after run after run at York and barely touch the 13's.

Will keep an eye on this thread anyway - be nice to see some more ford's at TOTB next year!!

rst-g · 08-10-2009, 10:01 PM

crazycage is well into the 12s and his times get better,better so you never know!! Good luck hope you do get an 11!!!!!!!!!!!

Its probably because most Ford owners are too obsessed with peak BHP figures. Its all fine and well having 400 or 500+ bhp but if you cant get the thing off the line then its wasted power.

Get the set up right and the times will come down.

That 13.6 with with 195bhp was a very impressive time !!
