The ZT is nearly finished (Ha ha - Mr Fudge)
As you may know Dan (FF) is trying to build a zetec turbo 3dr and we have been trying to beat him to it. It has turned into a bit of a friendly grudge match.
We are getting close to finishing now so all i get from dan is "show me the f*cking pics"
I thought i would post them up here in case anyone else was intrested.
I just finished wiring in the MS Ecu this morning. Had to make an adapter to bolt on a different TPS as the 65mm (id) BMW535 TB we are using only had a throttle switch.
A couple of shots of the engine in the car.
and an arty farty one, looking through the TB in to the plenum chamber.

400+ we hope. The turbo is a GT30r so easily capable of it.
It has all the right internals and the head on it is a new focus RS casting nicely worked by CNC heads. It really is one of the best head jobs i have ever seen. CNC machining of heads is certainly the way forward. Every port identical and designed on a computer simulation for optimum flow.
Just up to the monkey who is mapping it to get the best from it

LOL @ Monkey mapper
Good luck, good feeling when its all your own work.
Cant beat tuning experience though as I found out....
I mapped my own car, then let a professional finish it.
Ended up with 54 bhp more and 3 psi less boost

Not all MY own work. I have done a fair bit of work on this car, but the cars owner has done most of the hard graft transforming the car from a 1.6 GLS.
Hopefully we will be going to Ford Fair in it and he can put a few decent times in up the strip.

Ello Smit,
You have PM.
Turbine housing isn't actually that close to the inner arch, but i will be putting one on.
You still got the cossy?

Surely with that sort of spec you are looking at 500+

As its a zetec, its a bit of an unknown quantity.

Rod ratio is ok.
Yes, small bore (85mm) when compared to a YB. Engine is in fact under square. The small bore should help with a cetain amount of det resistance.

I'm looking forward to seeing the results too. Hopefully they will make good reading
Just packed your squirters up. Can you PM me the address you want them sent to again. Ta.
