who brought this when he (gadget) broke the car

was thinking about it the other day

i know sailor boy had the shell

had alot in that engine

 

Are you talking about the 1.9cvh,
or zetec turbo?
You not thinking bout zetecs now are ya

 

yeah the zetec with the american inlet

nope im not thinking about an engine change
(more than happy with what mine done)

just wondering where its gone

 

Its sat in a rather standard looking white s2

 

what sorta spec was it and what bhp?

 

who's is that dave? is it on the road?

 

i hope it does better in its new car .

 

Yes gus all up and running been like it a while now ,gadget fitted to the new car aswell

 

i seem to remember CLIFF being happy enough with it when it was pushing a gt3 out the way around silverstone

 

dont get me wrong i loved the that car looked hard as nails, but didnt do that good at brunts for a stripped out racer on r888s and over 300hp.

 

surely it doesnt matter how good or bad a car does as long as the owner(dave in this case)has the enjoyment out of it

 

Oh come on Gus lad! You know you want to start making some proper power with camshafts that stay in one piece and rocker studs not letting go every 5 mins!?

 

yeah next thing you know i will be going all fast and furious with nos


nope im happy enough with my legit power:b labla:

 

Legit?? Are you questioning Harvey Gibbs dyno?LOL!

Yep sure you will be fine mate!

As long as you carry a tap and die and a helicoil kit for your rocker studs and a few lifters in your glove box you will be proper! LOL!

 

no i meant that it left the factory as a 1.6 and should stay a 1.6

you have just frankenstein'd yours

anyway just get yourself to the bank and draw out plenty of cash as these wheels aint cheap

 

One vital fail for the both of you!

Forget the engines!

Its the issue its an Escort is where the problem lays!

 

gus what power are you running now?

 

id say the driver

 

LMAO!

 

power wise will have to wait and see when i get it on some dd rollers i guess

these are the bench mark that everyone is measured off

 

i've only ever seen 1 head pull a stud. Worked on loads of them too.

 

pics?he a member on here

 

his just beefing off cos he went for the wrong engine

 

can't win them all! I'll stick with my little old 1600!

 

No, I spoke to the Mrs and see said she doesnt want or need to drive the car so I should go for it power wise!

Even my Grandma knew CVH camshafts fail all the time, even when she bedded them in properly and everything! I remember she used to say 'whoever designed those poxy CVH cams clearly had shit for brains'!

 

i love both engines,but you gotta agree with the cvh cams chewing them selves up,rat boy you got any pics of yours?

 

i thought your nan was more into the vw scene

 

Not that I can upload to here mate.

I have never bothered learning how to upload pics!

 

its easy mate use photobucket, is yours with a big spec s2 white one? with e...rat on the plate? very nice

 

with the chavvy saxo wheels on it!

 

were they the dark 5 spoke jobbies

 

Now now Gus!

Put away your claws pussy cat!

What time are you thinking this afternoon? If its raining I probably wont bother mate as I dont want all my powdercoated suspension all shitted up!

 

txt your way

 

well i could be wrong about these zetec thingies


just been out in mr ratboy's and thats gonna be a weapon at full boost

sir

you have created a monster

 

I thank you kind sir!

SHe is settling down well and just needs me to stretch her legs now with a wee dab of boost! (well a fuck load really)!

 

Thats the one!

Thank you very much! She has cost me a lot of money and many years of my life! LOL!

 

Hi chaps, just got me a new laptop so i'm back on the net again!!
Yep, the engine went into a rather nice looking white series two. He is a user on here but not a massive poster, davidrsturbo. Originally i converted it from the mfi to cossie management but then a couple of years past and, at the time i was breaking Cliff's series one, he was on the lookout for a new engine, so a deal was struck and he bought the engine, loom, ecu and turbo etc. So once the series one was stripped and gone, the series two came back and we fitted the engine and bits. Should be coming back in october for a Bara box that he's purchased and a series one roll bar assembly.
I keep on at the guy to do a resto thread on here which he has started uploading pics but is very busy at the mo with work and a house move so keep your eyes peeled, i have a big ammount of pics of the build / car but won't be posting them as it's not my place!!
Cheers chaps, Gary.

 

gadget - i should get you to build mine

would be quicker im sure

good to hear it lives on and cant wait to see it used

 

Would love to mate, just done JessieRs's off here, weber management conversion, low comp engine rebuild, gauge fitting and wiring and front mount fitment. Got deleayed by the machine shop and pectel board, but my side took just a week!

 

WTF's that all about???
