Finally! Someone who likes them!

 

Some works of art in this thread, really inspirational and useful to see the variety of ways people lay their bays out.

Also loving the standard example, looks fresh as foook!

 

some great ideas lads,carnt wait to get mine up,(in bits at the mo)thought i might have seen some reverse charge pipes..........

 

Muz, I presume the Yellow brakes are controversial then?
What size brakes are on the front?

 

Yes, mate, they certainly split opinion! They are standard Focus Rs Brembos on the front with a standard 325mm(?) disc and Evo 8 Brembos on the rear on a 310mm disc.

 

Cheers

Rob yeah its the standard turbo one.

I believe its a Lancia remote ISCV housing body

 

Cheers for replying i must have missed it!

Cheers buddy, did wonder, standard throttle cable here i come

Rob,

 

Well Muz i'm a lover of them... Big Thumbs up

I'd love to get Brembo's on mine altho with 300mm discs as im on 16s!

 

i can see a haltec wiring loom!!!

 

haha youl be right there mate all in now. you did well just looking at some wires unless you've seen my resto

 

no not seen you resto thread chap

i know its a haltec loom coz ive fitted 1 or 2, im also guessing its a sprint 500?

 

 

nice

 

here's my engine bay, looks good!

 

And this is the reason why the carpets were allways wet and smelly!

 

yeah mate spot on. what have you fitted them to if you dont mind me asking and have you seen any good results. have'nt had my car out so its still on the base map

thanks lee

 

i work for sitech so ive fitted haltech to a few motors. ive fitted sprint500 to a mk1 FRS and its going really well. we did another mk1 but that was on plat2000 with all the extras, which went on to do 515bhp.

i think the sprint500 might be my next up grade and ditch the old gotech.

thanks nik

 

sounds good to me thanks mate will more than likely meet you next year when my car comes up for a check up on the rollers.

thanks lee

looks nice gary

 

not so bufty now is it lol.

 

after all the time you spent making it nice......... i prefer it like this tho

 

Thats how a motor should look!!!!

 

i love the inlet looks very tidy and neat

 

this is the finished article of mine










for now

 

No, Conor. THATS how an engine should look.

 

Would love to see some underside shots of your car gus, still cant picture where the feck your turbo is!

Rob,

 

this is the only pic i have showing the turbo


(not the easiest thing to get a pic of where it is)

 

Cool its hard to believe there was enough room, is the block in the standard position etc?

Rob,

 

yeah all standard

albeit custom mounts

 

gus spot on ! looks perfect

 

just a little note gus the tubing you are using is what paul j sucked inside out and into his turbo and fucked it so bewary once you get some big boost running through there

 

what the samco?

its as short as i can get away with, still leaving me a little play to get the hoses on

 

[quote=gus;5253325]this is the finished article of mine









this sweet

 

Crap pictures but I don't have any decent ones.

 

that a cossie fuel rail?

hows it all going now then?

 

No it's a custom made fuel rail Gus. Bespoke to my old nail...

It's not moved since August and I'm still waiting on some bits before I can get it mapped properly. I bought a battery conditioner/charger to stop it keep going flat. Just renewed the tax on it half an hour ago on line!

I'm starting from scratch with my brakes as I can't stop them binding but I am just waiting for a set of brake bells and brackets to turn up. I've got everything else.

 

Fuck me! that needs scrapping!

 

you had a play with the ecu?

plenty on ther eto keep you busy for a while a

whats with the brakes then? i shall be redoing mine very soon as i dont like them at all

 

Yes the ECU is massively complicated. I had to get it running from a totally unsuitable map that wouldn't even start the car. I've got it going and managed to set it up enough to drive it on boost and travel to Santa Pod in it. Had a few issues to work round and iron out of the map but it's getting there. If I had the time I'd carry on playing with it but I'm just too busy with work, hence why once it's ready I'm letting MSD finish it off.

The brakes are binding slightly and over braked on the rear. The back steps out if you're on even the slightest bend and for some reason that I can't find, they stick on and get hot and bind.
