Still a few days till its fully mapped up but is looking good so far.

 

 

Whats the spec?

 

very big

 

good work fella


the als sounded well on tuesday night

 

looking good fella, hows the fella who crashed his series 2??

hope he's gettin alot better

 

ants on the road to recovery now mate! should be in another awsome rs soon!

 

good good,

 

let ur work do the talking jano

 

well said alex!

 

Yeah nice photo

Whats the spec?

 

think its a 16v turbo escort



im not sure though, i asked grant and he thought it was a piston

 

 

You work in Halfords yeah B19BAL???

 

yeah, i run the cycle department

cant do the bolt on shite jokes as i do em all day long when im at work


or do ya want a discount on neons for ya car

 

Know about as much as essexturbo about ZTs then it seems

 

haha mate! thats funny!
i watched that car get built so i know the exact spec of it!
wot you getting frustrated coz your dog wont lick that penut butter off ya bollox!

 

ya may be suprised at my knowlage matey, just cause i work at a place you have no knowlage of dont make me stupid

just cause i take the piss and post shote dont make me stupid either



infact i could be thinking about building a 2.1 zetec engined car to wheel spin and torque steer all over the place


or i could stick with a car that holds 25psi up to the limiter thats rwd



fast cars get from point A to point B in a short space of time, not spin on the line and then go left

 

nice one, sounds cool

 

So whats the point of this post then? To share a pic? Cant be to increase Jano's profile as an engine builder as he aint a trader and it cant be to brag about figures cause no-one belives the bullshit without prove.

 

 

hes posting his findings, nothing to do with increasing his trade

hes made paul hills rollers read a high bhp with 5psi "cough"wheel spin "cough"

hes doing no different post to tiff talking about karl or ranj talking about mark


keep up the good work

 

Wont coment on the rollers or gear used but you cant deny wheel spin makes a run totally unusable?

 

im not stating in anyway or having a dig at jano !!!


i like to take the piss, i work at halfords after all

 

I was never one of Jano's haters but him and his gimp seem to be all tight lipped about this magical 170bhp RsT Only interested in spec

 

he could tel ya but he woukld have to kill ya


think thought to make 170bhp on a zetec its either gona be high comp, much bigger than a 2.0 or perhaps the rollers where having a off day due to the weather


but then the other way to look at it is i wouldnt be happy to have 170bhp if i have a 16v engine fitted

 

I don't see the fuss about turbo engines making power at 'low boost'.

Just because it makes 170bhp at 5psi doesn't mean it will work well with high boost - infact to me it means it is better tailored to being a N/A engine to a turbo one Big power turbo engines for road ful/cars don't make big power at low boost.. FACT.

 

where did this post go wrong

 

Fords 16valvers were making 204bhp with 8 psi almost 20yrs ago.. so nowt staggering there

4years later they were doing 227... so why are we going down to 170 now?

 

fooker, thats got a slighty different engine though, quality reply though

 

Yeah, that one was a 30 yr old pinto someone modified

 

yeah but the rebulot quotes aint the same for the pinto bottomends

fookung wish they was

 

Can we have a bit of a spec sheet then if we're supposed to be impressed?

From my recollection, even the old early knackered 2 litre Mondeo engines were making 136bhp, and the later ones making 150bhp.

 

i seen the car and engine ..looking good jano a lot of time and effort and it shows....

lets not turn this post bitchy aye guys..

boostboys car is rapid even at low boost so im quite beleaving his car is quick ...

 

Im just havin a giggle, Jano knows that i think

 

i judge the quality of the guys work from the quality of his photo's. you'd get better pictures from david blunkett.

i mean, come on. at least if you're trying to market stuff over the internet, use a proper digicam and not a cheap shitty camera phone.

if you must use a camera phone, at least get a decent megapixel one.

 

I agree with Phil you cant have your cake and eat it, if you want big figures at low boost then you end up with too much compression to run big figures at high boost.

Making 170bhp @ 5psi makes it sound like it will be a good tractable road car.

 

Is there any need to be so sarcastic!

 

it's my opinion, and i'm entitled to post it.
