I bought this a few weeks back and will be adding to this thread. Car is currently having a 3" full stainless system made, gearbox mount raised and alloy boost hoses. I have loads of new parts to fit on the car going for around 450bhp now

Awesome news, it looks a great car!

Are you going for a dry sump or single stage external oil pump for 450bhp?

s1cab

iTrader: (1)

Lee at devil's said he's happy for around 450bhp with the standard oil pump, he said he has a few still using it around that power. It's something i will do early next year anyway.

After ringing approx ten company's in the south of the uk to get quotes for my custom exhaust, I found 'Edwards motorsport' by luck on a mk1 escort page and luckily for me he was 10 miles away from where i live. The cheapest quote i had for a full 3" stainless custom system was Ł950 (plus vat). This was for a full system turbo back with external wastegate plumbed back into the downpipe, two silencers (for track use) with a 3" outward rolled tip.
Edwards motorsport made me the full exhaust system to the above spec, made a custom rear gearbox mount for focus rs gearbox and 2 custom made alloy boost hoses for Ł950 cash ! And his work is second to none !
here are some pic's











well happy with the work !

Got the cams fitted over the weekend so fitted the rocker cover back on tonight. Also took sump off to get 2 16mm tails welded into it, one for the turbo oil return and one for the oil drain for the oil seperator.

Loving the engine.

If you decide to uprate the oil pump, there is a kit sold by Burton power that I have seen working on a na zetec with 260 bhp that reved to just over 8k, may be worth a look

I did see that over the weekend they sell 2 kits they look good. Good to hear of someone using it though !

Fitted the new discs and pads to the front earlier and got the rollcage all bolted in

RS16iDale

Hello mate to fit the focus rs gearbox do you have to cut out the inner chassis leg for it to fit? Im using the crazy cage mount same as you but its mounted to a blacktop zetec and going in a mk3 escort,just dosnt fit at the mo?

s1cab

iTrader: (1)

You can either cut or basically just fabricate (hammer) the inner wing. I can take a pic for you later if you want to show you ?

studabear

Yes please, that would help me out greatly too.

Had these tails welded onto the sump today and fitted sump back on. One tail is for the oil return from the turbo, the other is for the oil drain from the oil seperator. Also ordered one of these for the crankcase breather thanks to 'Will Pedley'

studabear

Thanks for the pictures. Can I just ask, has your inner wing just been reshaped then? Big Hammer?

s1cab

iTrader: (1)

The previous owner done it but it looks like that was how it was done

Churtz

The oil returns should be above oil level to assist the flow of oil. If it doesn't flow back easily, it'll restrict the flow through the turbo.

RS16iDale

Cheers for the pics mate,any chance of a close up of the mount area?

s1cab

iTrader: (1)

Yes no probs will get some tomorrow you want pics of both the mounts ?

Mk4 Rick

Hi mate looking good.These items for the return would have worked with no welding at all.Either way your car is looking really good.

Didnt realise you had this!

Looks mean

be careful with the level of your oil returns mate as said above, especially if you're running a gt series turbo.
you might be fine, just dont like thinking of a smokey turbo after all your work.

I've got another sump already didn't want to risk it tbh

Zetecfiesta

Looks awsome, i think you need to do the front splitter matt or satin black for a bit of contrast though! Really nice colour though.

I like the stuppy door mirrors. What size discs are they.

Just a quick update i have had the head off and crazycage has ported the exhaust side for me. He also has made me a turbo hanger and is currently making me an inlet manifold. Fitted the head back on today. Got all the new fuel hose/lift pump etc to finish fuel system so will have more updates over the next few weeks.
