After having my traction kit fitted by Danny @ Adrenaline I was a bit worried about my shiny new Pro-Alloy intercooler fitting on the mounting points he'd worked into the front torsion bar but it fitted like a glove

Old vs New Black intercooler with Silver PRO logo:



All fitted by the boys at B.A.R.:



I've got a new heat-shield for my turbo too as a broken turbo bracket shook the last one to death but I haven't fitted it yet because Ford have discontinued the damn brackets! As soon as I have that sorted and the re-map done It should be all gravy for a while



So massive thanks to:

Wayne @ Pro-Alloy - the new cooler fitted easily and is exactly what I wanted, looks the nuts and I'm sure she's a bit quicker!
Danny @ Adrenaline - lovely bit of fabrication, fits like it was always meant to be there and launches+corners are now tooo much fun!
Liam and Keir @ B.A.R - top work as always fellas, see ya soon!!
BillyCabrio for sorting out that fella at the ford parts desk!!


All Finished

 

nice one bish



i'd like to add another big thanks to pro-alloy and BAR as both have done a cracking job on some new bits on my motor too these past few weeks

 

Saw your motor there this morning Jim, looked like it was being well cared for

 

Looks good


Well done to those involved

 

Cheers Radders

I should really thank the bank too...they paid for it all!!

 

 

Looking good James

I take it that the upgrade CHARGE COOLER pre rad and not a INTERCOOLER? If so I like the look of those Black Pro alloy pre rads and they are so much deeper than a std ford one.

I would love to do a charge air test on the std one and a upgrade one to see what the actual difference is in air temps. I sometimes feel my FRS pulls better when the car has been on the motorway for a little stint and I reckon its because the charge air temps have dropped.

Whats this about a re-map then? who's going to re-map it for you then james?

Looking good m8

 

Now you can take the fooking stickers off!!!!

 

Agree

Nice one James

 

na, leave the stickers, they suit it

was funny when that policewoman started asking you about them tho

 

PMSL that was funny guess she couldn't find anything to moan at me about!!

Andy yeah it's the pre-rad upgrade, not sure yet if it's made a difference to power, I think it's driving better but that's probably in my head!! As for the management...we will have to wait and see

Cheers Benn and Anna

 

Looking good J

When you gonna let me drive it then?

 

Cuh, in ya dreams luv

Now when can i drive it?? Theres a track day soon you say..........? Oh Santa Pod..... cool

 

Nice one J.... looks like my shaff maybe going into BAR soon....

o and i agree... get rid of the stickers!!

 

Nooooooooo keep the stickers!!

 

flo, just seen your avatar, LOVE IT

 

Why thankyou

 

also, why does your location say surrey? you live in orpington don't you?

 

the intercoolers are not cheap and you need to relocate the battery

I have the stealth pro cooler as well nearly twice as deep

I guess he is going to have it live mapped I was talking to Clint @ the old school turbosport meet last week and they can do a fair bit on our ECU's as you can just flash em

 

Nope, Surrey now mate

 

Leave them on babe, Jess likes them!

When you gonna let ME drive?

 

Oh right i never knew about the battery needs moving.

You dont need to flash them, Superchips can write a map to your bluefin and you just upload it

 

Looking good m8, queue Pebble's spending a monkey on the FRS now

 

Can I have a drive

 

The spending has already started Dan

I decided the night i went up against your RST back from southend that although i was slightly faster, its not enough

On the lookout for parts now and hope to see a few more BHP in the next few weeks

 

PMSL, the general is still a weapon

 

Im sure its about 1k fitted from EA

sorry by flash I meant upload a few places can do it

 

I kept thinking in the back of my head, if the FRS is only this fast compaired to "the general", imagine how my old RST would have pulled past it in a straight line

 

ROFL he's got a few grand to go to catch up!!

I rang Superchips, they want Ł300 and the car for 3-4hrs to write a custom map for all the mods so that might be the way to go until some proper management solutions come out

Blah and Andy....Dream on!!

 

Try Clint off Turbosport

 

YHPM

 

and so do you I have PM'd him for info aswell will let you know what i find

 

Oi i wanna play with the PM's

 

Shockingly enough, your old Series 2 would probably give your Focus more of a run for it's money. However, if you get the general's act's down to the 24 - 26 mark, you're in trouble. Darrens Esc Cos was the other night on the way out the M20 roadworks

 

The Focus wont lose to the general m8

plus when it comes to braking and cornering its game set and match

Was this Darren Esc Cos std then ?

 

lol dunno mate, me and Kev might start a new "Secret Squirrel" society!!

 

Andy Im just contacting Clint off turbosport about a spot of live mapping will let you know

ps get that gauge sorted off secs and we might let you in the gang

 

lol won't hold my breath for that!!

 

YEah, you remember Darren with the White Series 2 who used to live down the road from me ? He brought the Esc Cos to the essex meet

Mind you, I went in a weapon of a Fezzy Turbo yesterday m8. Chatter out of it is fucking awesome And it's gonna be even more of a weapon soon. Performance Ford Grudge match idea's flown out the window, headed south, and set up shop in the land down under

Know anywhere I can get a 1.9 lump sharpish

 

Bish, Secret society ......................

Kev dont hold your breath, i seem to remember JonERST wanted his RST mapped by clint who started it off and never finished it even after months and months of waiting

Dan, you should have bought my old RST and done an engine swap with yours and then sold my shell off with your engine in. You would have loved the way that engine went and you might have found out if it really was a 1.9
