Saw this Fiesta ZS advertised on ebay with a 2.0 Turbo conversion from severn valley motorsport.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEVERN-VALLEY-...QQcmdZViewItem

He's claiming its 350bhp.

Is it just me or is that not going to make 350bhp with a standard RS Turbo manifold and a T35??

 

Christian (C&B) made 314bhp from a 1600 cvh with standard cast manifold....

 

No comment, but the owner did come onto ZSOC.com once and claimed it would do 0-60 in the 4's...when it ever ran properly

 

bet that goes

 

We have a zetec turbo with both producng a genuine 397 - so yes its possible if the rest of the spec is there

 

Big spec and a shit load of money wasted if that's what its worth

 

thats a Severn Vally one...was featured a while back...most i have seen from the ERST exh manifold is 365hp but that was with a custom inlet manifold...

im sure this one is 320hp ish maybe more maybe less...it shoul def pass the 300hp mark though lol

bassboy

 

Bloody right.... he recons he's spent 40k on it

 

Quite like the way he has built the shift light into the steering wheel though, very nicely done.

 

I actually like it, total sleeper.
But why has it got a turbo damper on the rocker cover

 

im am looking for around Ł8000, there is no tax or mot,

 

I think the mileage and age and the length of time the new owner has had it MAY indicate the reliability

 

possibly the fastest fwd fiesta in the world

 

Easy way to find out....ask Ahmed, pretty sure he mapped it.

Doubt it's 350 though as 400cc injectors would be pretty maxed out if there's only 4 I would have though bearing in mind my own experience with duty of 4x750cc's.

ERST manifold would be fine....all this conjecture over whether it's suitable is all Internet cr@p. I've got a proven 355 through an ERST man and the only thing that stopped a bigger figure was my old head, Rob's saying he has 397. Internal diameter of an ERST man is BIGGER than the customised ones onthe market...it just has a very sharp elbow design which 'could' be an issue.....it's usually valve float which stops people getting bigger figures not man design!

Also that engine's been in about three cars from memory, either that or the same loom/p8 has been used in them as I remember having a convo with Ian/Ahmed about it 3yrs+ back

Judging by the size of the air filter it's gotta be 450bhp.
