hi all , im in the process of building a 1.8 zetec turbo engine for my fiesta , anyone know what turbo is best , i want to run 20 psi , anyonre got any parts suitable for this for sale? or any advice would be great thanks

 

Y 1.8

 

got given a 1.8 from work , would do a 2.0 , what you running

 

1800 TOO MATE
just started tunuing my ecu tonight

boosting 7 psi feels shmooth
would go for 2 l if u are just at start of build mate more potential

 

nice , what turbo you running ? are you still using the eec4 ecu or a different management set up?

 

feel s realy quick pulls all bout the road but
wont help on 14"wheels lol
running remapable ecu called megasquirt with wide band air fuel meter called innovate lm1 to keep an eye on stuff so it dosent melt,

what spec are you going for????

 

1800 is as good as any. my old 1 has been rolling roaded and set up etc and is making 243bhp at fly with a t34 running 16 psi

 

wow tony nice,

you still running standard pistons? or low compression?

im thinking of turboing my 1.8 130 zetec.

 

thats good pwer , what is the megasquirt like , who mapped it , you running low comp pistons

 

Ive built a couple of 1.8 ZVH engine in the past...I think they're better than the 2.0ltr imo, being stronger and more revable

A mate of mine runs Megasquirt on his turbo'd Capri...he buys them in kit form and builds them up (cheaper if you know what your doing) and then home mapped it......gotta admit tho, a Capri with a laptop on the passenger seat looks a tad odd lol

cheers mate , how hard was it to map? does it come with a base map? how much can he get them for?

 

I'll get him to PM m8....he's a PF user and will be round here in an hr.


Stu.

 

ok mate thanks really apperiactethe help , i might not reply tonight cos ive got to start work at the club at 9

 

No probs m8...reply when ever....he's running late anyhows. Megasquirt does seem a good option especially considering the low cost's involved with it compared with bigger named and priced managment systems.

 

I was experimenting with the new autotune option to revise the fuel map after a recent cam change. Works brilliantly, only some driving was needed.

 

sounds like its pretty straight forward , how much does it cost?

 

After some googling, 210$ seems to be the cheapest for an assembled ecu.

 

yep and as for the base map there is always people that can help you out
the other key factor is a good wide band air fuel meter especialy with a turbo
i opted for innovate lm1 ,brilliant bit of kit no jumping about etc

what do you use jesse t??????

tommy

 

I use the Techedge's version.
Btw, if someone ever want maps, settings or even a complete memory dump for somewhere to start tuning from, just ask.

 

what version and model number do i need to order , is there any other parts needed ? ie map sensor ect

 

i can give you phone number for the guy i get them off phil ringwood

he actually built the code of squirt and spark extra so he knows what he is talking about

i mapted the car my-self with help from megasquirt forum
all you need is lap top - w/b air fuel meter and a base map
which i can supply

you can also tidy up engine bay and do away with edis unit and run direct coil thats wt i am running same price
basicly you can have your car running from 15-20 wire going to the engine

the loom suplied is all labled to tell you wt goes were and diagrame is on disc suplied

 

THIS IS MY ENGINE B4





AND AFTER





NEED ANY PICTS OF BUILD GIVE ME A SHOUT

TOMMY

 

the engine looks sweet mate ! is it running a turbo?

 

yip shure is m8 at the min its only running T3 at 7 psi feels quick just having prob getting the power down roads are very greasy so not the best time to set up. lol

what spec u going for???
