ALSO............

What IC do you guys run???

Looing at Pro Alloys double cappicity jobby for £250... Who runs 1 of them then???

Pete...

 

this is the only pic i have that would show you the conversion...i also run a pro alloy front mount...

 

How do you find the pro alloy coler dude???

ALWAYS had pro alloy coolers on all my cars,but for some reason,im a tad jubious on this 1 for some reason???

Pete...

 

here's mine mate




my intercooler is a custom made grs motorsport one

 

What turbo/manifold is that Paul????

That cooler dont look like it gets much airflow!!??

Pete...

 

hi pete

the change temps are really low even though there's such i small gap

the manifold is a 4-1 stainless supplied by auto specialists and the turbo is a cosworth stage 3 4x4 t3

hope this helps

paul

 

What sort of ACTs you running,and whats the diff in running coolent temps?? They ok??

What managment you running too fella,if im not too nosey???

Still SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO undeicided what to do,or where to go with mine!!

Pete...

 

the charge temps are about 4/5 degrees over ambient running at 7psi i waiting to have the car mapped where the boost levels will be increased and i have plans to drop the numberplate down another inch or so and open it up a bit more

as you might have guessed i've had it converted to run cossie manangement

anything else just ask

paul

 

Added you to MSN Paul...So get your ass on there!!!!!!

Pete..

 

PAULDOLMAN

did you notice any difference once you fitted that manifold? seeing as they are such a good price im not sure if there more just for looks? cheers.

sorry to hijack the thread allitle

 

Ive recently just done this conversion to my fiesta as the t25 had gone bang when i brought the car. You have to seperate the i/c from the rad and pull the rad out and then replace it with the lugs on the bumper side of the front panel so that the turbo doesnt foul the rad. i also used a standard erst i/c for the pipes as its impossible to fit a pipe from the snail onto the bottom of the standard frst i/c. You also need to mess around fabricating an oil return and fabricating an exhaust system. Luckily i picked up a nearly new magnex system and had an old erst magnex system lying around so used the downpipe from that, bolted straight on. Ill take some pics 2moro and post em up for you.

 

SO i need a ERST down pipe too??? And that mates up with the FRST system bang on???

Pete...

 

Yes mate

i found the turbo cut in 500rpm earlier, made quite a big difference

paul

 

nice one paul,good advice...the escort down pipe will not mate to the exhaust ...you will need to cut and shut the escort and fiesta down pipes together in the right place and weld...sounds a pain but is quite easy....do it ...and everyone get the manifold paul has...there the nuts for the money...

 

well said jon, manifolds are well worth it

 

 

- I have a T34 with a pro alloy Rad 490mm and pro alloy intercooler on my fezzy.

- Playing around with mounting it is the key so theres no knocking going on and abit of a gap, strong vibra technic engine mounts are key aswell ,

- Temp wise its very cool now with two fans
was running a 11inch spal fan with a pro alloy 410mm alloy rad was good but its much cooler with my new current setup.

 

Only pics i have mate.It never got hot at all..

 

Still So,SOOOOOOOOOOO tempted with this conversion.. But is it worth doing,when im going to stay on Blues for abit,before i go up to Beiges???

ALSO...........

Any pics of the madified exhausts too please???

Pete...

 

pete what pics do u want

is it the flexi joint in the downpipe

paul

 

do it...im still on blues and the t3 has a much better rev range...lasts a lot longer... ...32a tuning....nice pic... ..im considering the 'hidden wiring ' route now....glad your back...
