Just bought this Sierra zetec turbo, always wanted a Sierra but went into the Vauxhall scene 😳, anyways will be a good project running a Silvertop zetec turbo anyone know the car ??

 

Is it from Blackpool?

 

Person I bought it off got it from blackpool

 

I thought I recognised it, sure it used to be parked near a garage around the corner from me, possibly a mechanic there had it.

 

Anyone know what ecu this is

 

Boost monkeys ofam

 

Legit thought that was just a sticker someone had put on 😂

 

I like that mate, any more pics of the engine bay?

 

 

Awesome mate bet it goes well

 

Goes well abit of clutch slip through however no idea what clutch it is running yet, could do with map tweaked too smells very rich

 

Been a long time since I've seen a car Home built in a shed type of thing, seriously miss those days and glad people still doing it. Cracking project

 

Well today I attempted to fix its exhaust blow suspect it was coming from between turbo and manifold however I was wrong 😂, so manifold off tomorrow so what I can do

 

Looking at that welding it’s not going to be prety.

 

it’s defo been a bodge job before hand hasn’t it 😂😂

 

I think I would clean it up and re bodge it to keep it going while you make a new one.

God knows why you would need an external waste gate at the power.

 

Once i get manifold off and heat wrap off i can see what the rest of the manifold is like, was thinking about getting another made if its a bodge job tbh

 

i got a saph 2.0 gls and a st170 motor to chuck into it eventually. any one know what mounts people are using to fit them in

 

Manifold off and has a lovely crack -.- so looks like new manifold needed however does look like a 200sx one that’s been used with zetec flange ?

 

There’s a similar manifold on eBay now for sale

You want a 3mm thick one and some kind of support bracket / hanger.

 

Got a new manifold for her, got it wrapped and refitted also new air filter, intake pipe and boost pipe, not the best but much better than before 😂. Bumpers off to get painted too I need some cossie side skirts anyone got some ??

 

Cool project. I wonder what it's like to drive compared to a cossie??

Do you have any spare rear Sapp bumpers???

 

 

 

bet half your post count is asking for a bumper


Car's coming along nicely mate, looks good now the bits are sprayed. What else you got planned for it?

 

Like that a lot.
Nice colour too.
Be good to see what power it will make.

 

 

 

Those wheels look the part

 

Looks like a real one, I bet it sounds nice.

 

Yeah that looks a lot better on those rims, very nice!

 

Looking lovely mate

 

Nice Sapph and cool to see something else for a change!

 

well she was going well fitted a 1 bar spring to the external wast gate goes very well now seriously need to upgrade brakes asap, got mondeo calipers st170 pads etc for fronts, also got cossie rear end with lsd to go in too just finding time to sort it all out lol. Starter motor has failed now aswell and need to get it mot'ed but she will be back out soon

 

I was talking to the lad that built this car the other day.

 

 

Mk4 escort estate now.
