wanted to keep std mondeo intake manifold and fit the the rs focus throttle body and deflector
and run a huge front mounted cooler
was looking at calibre pistons for a while as they run a comp ratio of 7.4.1
and measure in at 86mm as the zetec block is 84.8
which will take cap from 1998 -2045 2.1
so it be safe to run 200-330 bhp with those pistons on std rods
but will have to run apr rod bolts ?
were could i get the c20let pistons from ?
what about cams and pulleys
as i have both sitting at home waiting to go in
i have seen the bd10 spec zetec turbo one's to would they be any good?
std head? i thought i would be better to run a stage 1,2,3 head as with the zetec head can get as much 30bhp increase
so mods to the head would be
bigger valves
port and polish
and gasflown
with uprade valve guide (ie bronze)
good or bad idea ?
block machined for oil return and breather
ofab management is rs turbo right ?
didn't really want to go that route
is there another route which will work with the std wiring loom of the mondeo and ecu so i could run a chip
or would i have to run something like mega-squirt ?
as for map where would i go as i live in cornwall
the only people down this way are ap motors
alan jefferys dont want to travel miles out may way either
if i lived up country bit more would go and see Stu for sure
just getting idea's put together bouncing idea's from other people too
cheers bassboy will take info aboard and go through it
cheers daz
RS manifold should be able to be used...no reason for it not to be able to be used
boost figures cannot just be given...too many factors...ACT's, fuel type, CR, turbo, spark plugs, etc etc but i would say 15-20psi would even be achievable if calibra pistons are used....but its down to your mapper!
the mondeo inlet is the plastic one right? black one? if so it should be ok but i would HIGHLY recommend the RS1800 manifold as 330hp is ok for that manifold on a T34!
yep use ARP bolts and you should be ok...the safe limit for the rods is deemed around 280-290hp
c20let pistons best place is vauxhall forums or ebay or something...not sure if they are available from MAHLE anymore?
what cams have you got? pulleys you can use...the standard head will flow 330hp no problem so i wouldnt go through the expense of getting a modified head etc....the valve train may become an issue dependant on how hard you want to rev the car...
you will need a management swap unfortunately no matter which way you look...need something mappable....OFAB, MS, Gotech, etc etc are all good choices...
regards to mapping...Ahmed Bayjoo can also work his magic...
