i've used this site for a few years, i used to be known as turboboss and played about with a red frst but due to buying house i broke my frst for the deposit, then when things had settled down a bit finance wise purchase i bought a fiesta zetec s 1.6tdci just because it was cheap to run with only £30 a year road tax.
i started to do some mods remap, exhaust then i wanted to go a bit further well more then just a bit most bit have been through trial and error so far upgrades focus 110hp injectors, turbo dynamics kp35 hybrid turbo,ss exhaust from turbo back,fcd2 ( thanks stewart),FMIC, kevlar clutch, methanol injection kit and a rs tuning custom map giving me 156hp 260fbt.

you know how one thing leads to another i wanted bigger valves, but due to the lack of room between valve and bore wall this was not feasible, so my fabricator has been speaking to his engine shop its taken quite a bit of convincing of hwy we want to pursue tuning a 1.6 diesel but they have now come round to the idea and are fascinated about the project. 0.05mm oversize pistons are only available which is no use to me reason for this the engine comes with liners so a rebore is not possible. The engine shop state they have repair liners on the shelf which can take the bore from 75mm to 80mm increasing capacity from 1560 to 1775, but locating a set of pistons seams to be a tad difficult because of the small end, but i am just going to get farndon to make me a set of rods with a small end of my choice........Increasing the bore size allows a whole host of alternative valves sizes, best combination seams to be 26mm exhaust and 29mm inlet from standard 23.4 exhaust and 25.5 inlet so a gain of 23% and 29% respectively which is quite a lot, All the porting is done to a spare head I will put pictures up as soon as I can

I have been looking at the gearbox side of things without this the project wont start, now building a stronger Ib5 box is simple but building one with the right gear ratios is causing me headache the fiesta 1.6tdci comes with a 3.7 F/D with 205/40/17 tyres giving a rolling radius of 6.14 @ lets say 4800rpm gives a top speed of 113mph, there are two other F/D available which suit a diesel perfectly a 3.3 and a 3.1 the 3.3 comes with the same 8-bolt fixing as the 3.7 but good old fords for some reason decided to change the later fiesta 3.1 to an 12-bolt fixing 8mm screw and a totally different carrier, so I am waiting on a machine shop on a cost to see if the parts can be machined to fit
