couple of pics of my little drag toy

 

Wicked! What sort of times are you chasing?

 

Anything starting with a 10

 

Nice to see one of your cars...
Looks well

 

Awesome sleeper! Seen it at the weekend certainly shifts a bit, what power is it?

 

Clutch was slipping on the rollers last week so couldn't map it properly or get a power figure but I'd say about 350 going by the terminals

 

Thats mad. Good time for a fwd car.

What's the reason for the back end of the car being up in the air.

 

To put as much weight as possible over the drive wheels

 

nice time! what turbo is that?

 

Looking good gary. Well done

 

Borgwarner efr 7064

 

few other pics

 

Gary, unless you have already addressed it, keep an eye on the chassis leg, inner wing seems ect. I ended up with a scrap shell as it was pulling it apart. (i had a lot less power too)

 

the car is coming apart over the winter for a roll cage and other chassis work so will be addressed then mate

 

Only just seen the exhaust! Bet that sings.

 

Love it

 

That looks awesome!

 

Nice times mate!
Out of interest is the car road legal at all or is it used solely for the strip?

Cheers Paul

 

Strip only , would make a terrible road car

 

Such an impressive build! put together quickly, to a high standard, and no doubt will be in the 10's soon! good work!

 

Cool matey. Does it work then having the weight over the front wheels. I take it this gives the carore traction.

 

That's the theory mate couldn't say if it's making any real difference or not

 

What power is the engine producing.

 

It does work, K-Tec racing were turning upto santa pod about 16 years ago, removing the rear shocks and replacing them with a bit of box section whilst the rear end was not under compression.

 

At the pod now , best so far 11.7@123 with a strong as hell head wind

 

Try the car without jacking the rear, I'm sure it make no difference. Look how many of the serious FWD cars have it.....

 

I no it makes no difference mate I have a n/a mk2 fiesta that's not jacked and it does the same 60fts .the only reason this is jacked is I put a old set of escort front springs in the rear to make it stiff but there 2" longer

 

Good going that matey. Can you get decent traction then.

 

Not really mate 60fts are poor only 1.9 this time out .I've done 1.8s before but should be doing 1.6s or better lots to do lol

 

Will you be at pod tomorrow? I'll look out for you if so

 

So the hardest part is getting the car off the line then.

 

Yea the rest is easy mate just need good clean gear changes and not ride into the limiter

 

Bloody good going! Will it see 10s in its current setup? Or will you have to make changes?

 

Wow what a engine ..Top respect ..what sort of parts and price to build something like that ..via PM ..I'm wanting a low lag 250-260 zetec with a borgwarner built ..so just looking at ideas and what I'd need ..thanks Mat

 

Making some changes to the cooling system and fitting a cage and taking a bit more weight out of it .will have more power when i fit the new twin plate clutch .i should be getting terminals between 130-135mph

 

No I was only there for the day mate

 

250hp is easy mate ,I wouldn't bother with a borgwarner at that power tho there's plenty turbos that will make that power and spool early . I'd be looking at standard Subaru or Evo turbos cheap as chips would need a manifold to suit tho

 

Thanks for that mate ..This zetec world is all new to me .. Cvh and YB I'm ok with ..just need to know how and what to use to build a nice zetec ..only for road use so 260 should be enough id have thought .

 

Just starting the same build myself for a mk 2 but had doubts put in my head about using C20let pistons and RS turbo LSD box anyone any thoughts.
Where abouts in Merseyside are you as im in Skem and will need an exhaust doing.

 

Rs turbo gearboxes are a lottery even on standard power ,I wouldn't bother with c20let pistons either there's plenty of cheap rod piston packages these days .im over the water in wallasey
