crazycage

that oil is no good in a mtx75 mate , its too thick . you should be running mt75 gear oil.

nevsrevs

what with our diff? gripper said thats what we got to run?

Andy Tucker

Stupid question mate but what year and what ford did the engine come from? And what's the gearbox off?

nevsrevs

its a year 2000 mondeo engine, and diesel focus/mondeo gearbox, was a 1.6 shell,

nevsrevs

do it mate, its wat they are made for,

Andy Tucker

Cheers mate.I know you said your having limited lighting but did u get the loom,ecu from the mondeo to.or aftermarket mate

nevsrevs

no we used the original loom out of the focus for the lights and fans, then omex engine loom mate,

Andy Tucker

Omex 600?how do you find them mate.

nevsrevs

good for the price, not top of the range or bottom, but its wat are mapper likes to use.

nevsrevs

update time, been 2 weeks without photos, getting there now,

light doors






happy with how the manifold turned out, got to sort water pipes out, and boost pipes, boost controller and acwell then fire up time, cheers lads, roll on track days, time to do some hunting.

nevsrevs

got screamer pipe finished tonight, just waiting on our rear screen to be finished and rest of pipe to turn up, pics to follow, getting there now

robman111

That is looking sweet! Keep it up mate!

nevsrevs

cheers buddy.

Rollinz

looking good!!

are you going to run a gearbox cooler??

nevsrevs

no mate just engine cooler, think it would be overkill at our power, hows your getting on?

Rollinz

Just spOke with ian,
Head is assembled, hes just going to shim the cam followers to my cams for me
And should be able to get it back by end if the week,


As for gearbox cooler, its deffo somthing i would recomend mate ,
I use atf dextron II fluid and a grayson cooler ,
Keep the gearbox temps down and it will serve you well

nevsrevs

we might need to think about that next year when we up the power, but really want to sort out the rear sub frame and wided track first, got any pics of your cooler set up?

robman111

Dont suppose youd be interested in a lightened balanced and knife edged crank for this? comes with main shells

nevsrevs

no mate this one is all done and dusted thanks? what is it you have got and what do you want for it as we are allways on the look out for other builds?

Andy Tucker

nevsrevs it's looking pukka mate.ur doing a great job

RS Grant

iTrader: (1)

It is looking great.. really nice build, what sort of cost you reckon you're up to at this point mate??


Cheers,
Grant

nevsrevs

would not like to add up grant, we have not gone crazy with spending the money, we need it finished to get out there and shake it down, we still got alot of development to do with the suspension set up, cheers lads, roll on the spring track days

robman111

PMed mate

nevsrevs

cheers will keep my ears open for any 1? should be grabbed pretty quick

nevsrevs

cheers big ears

nevsrevs

thanks guts

I assume It's going to be caged now you've taken the inner of the door out?
Looks great though mate, credit to you! I wish I had some spare monies to turbo my fiesta! Maybe I'll win big when I go Vegas next year

nevsrevs

no cage for now, still got the sips in, want in to be weighed first, its been a busy 14 months, should be on the dyno within a month now,

Dicko&Vacant

Looking good fella, what sort of power you aiming for at first?

nevsrevs

not sure to be honest, dont want to push it on o.e. pump as it will be getting a tough time on track, it might be plenty or we might want more, and in that case we will want to go dry sump, and up the power.

Dicko&Vacant

iTrader: (3)

There is plenty about over 500hp without being dry sumped

nevsrevs

yea know what your saying, but its at the back of my mind all the time, its not going to be getting a easy life though, flat out all its life, dont want to be building gearboxes every other track event, but as you know you can soon get used to the power, hopefully we have built it well enough to push things on toward 500 if we need too.

rst-g

Very smart mate keep the updates coming

nevsrevs

cheers mate, wont be long till we can have some vids up of it on the dyno, hopefully with smilling faces, not o shit that was the oil pump giving up,

nevsrevs

digi dash turned up today and boost controler on its way, loom for the display looks very interesting to wire up, boost pipes and downpipe are being finished tomo, silencer is being made this week too, pics to follow soon.

jonfoc

Have you shifted your rad forward? It looks like a huge gap between the turbo and rad. Looks epic!

nevsrevs

yea moved it all forward as we wanted to be able to work on the car with as much space as poss, plus help with heat soak,

jonfoc

What you doing about your coolant pipes. Are you having bespoke ones made?
