take it martin is building your engine then

Gatecrasher

You wish just because you posted one sexy pick in your restro thread now you think you get to talk to me like this dont flatter your self you munter

I just know what you have as i have the same and i think its been so long youve forgot about the magic

My car is currently at SCS Harvey’s

While we are on the Subject i just want to clear a few things up as i felt a little disloyal and its not what im about so now someone has asked i feel i can get it off my chest

when i came to this site i Met Mike Goldbum and started to buy parts and he was helping me mod my escos when i put the order in for my clutch diffs ect as mike isn’t a tuner he put me onto martin as he was doing the hydraulic clutch ect and seemed that they could team up and pretty much sort out anything that i wanted together i have always spoke to mike about what i want from my car and engine ect and how i love his engine and want it but the cost of parts ect made me think it was only a pipe dream and that i would never be able to afford it

i then see Porkie post a post up saying about his GT30 engine and with a few pm's to Martin i got a very good price for a GT30 engine that would probably last me forever and as martin said once i have a GT30 Engine i wouldn’t want Mikes engine anyway as i would have enough power with this engine

my car was then give to Harvey at SCS as i developed a problem the TPS fucked itself and the car went into limp mode and i couldn’t sort it as well as the are needing setting up the coil pack to be fitted Water injection to be rigged up ALS to be all plumbed in the list continues

I then took the car to a track day at snetterton where i spent the weekend with Mike R "and our Mrs's" and we had a chat about a few things engine wise ect and realised we apart from our obsession with cars get on quite well and i now class mike as a friend and i find he is even calling me up to look at Media centres on the net while he is shopping ect anyway back on topic

after the track day i had a few minor problems not to any fault of Martin or Harvey at all just usual Cosworth probs like i split a hose and had a knocking noise i needed sorting ect had a chat with Harvey about a few engine options as you do and come away wondering what i really wanted

i want my car setup for the Track, i want ALS and quickest response possible when the ALS is not on, so me and mike discussed and come up with the above spec, im not saying martin couldn’t do what me and mike have surmised but as the cars at Harvey’s now having a bottom end rebuild it seems natural to have him put together the Parts me a MR Rainbum are collecting

There is no reason for me not going for the GT30 Engine other than what i have put and i will be using Martin/Reyland again in the very near future for Hydraulic hand break conversion, roof skin to get rid of the sun roof, floor mounted peddle box and any other fabrication work that needs doing as Martins work is second to none as a lot of you will know!

Hope that Clears up a few things as im sure it looks like im jumping from tuner to tuner, im not i just like to use them all that way i get the best of the best

Ian sold his Focus to Paul Johnson a while back and Paul will be putting the engine that was in his Fiesta back which was originally in the Focus back into the Focus (where it came from when he brought it from Ian).

Mine's definately happening. Due to other commitments namely a marriage, baby boy and the setup of a new business I had to prioritise over the car.....for once! LOL However I've nearly got everything sorted now in order to give the car more time to get completed. It is a totally diffierent engine and car hence the time involved.

Regards,

Sunny.

Aye up sunny what were your terminal speeds from the old engine ? 1/4 and what was paul j if you know what it was ?

iTrader: (6)

Sounds like there is going to be some proper fast cars out next year

Think i will be sticking to around 450bhp but have been talking about a roller bearing T4 wich could see me closer to 500, just cant justify a custom exhaust and other bits to go further than that.

sunny

Gatecrasher - New spec head, custom CGI block cnc'ed to spec, WRC headgasket, Cosworth WRC Pistons, Mountune Arrow Steel Rods, Custome Steel Crank, diffierent custom exhaust manifold, new custom inlet, external wastgate, 8 x 650cc injectors, Autronic SM4, CDI-Coilpack, custom driveshafts + a rather large turbo + usual other mods that my other car had. I'll be happy to see somewhere near 700 genuine with loads of torque.

Hi Tim, long time pal! My cars terminals were only timed at TOTBII however as everyone knew due to the slipping cutch I only ran just over a bar of the 2.3 bar of mapped boost. Saying that it done several 124mph 1/4 terminals with the best of 126mph. Full boost would of been more. What about you guys?

Cheers,

Sunny.

Tim

iTrader: (1)

Carnt say as mags not out yet but in the damp mine were VERY similar to yours lol

sunny

iTrader: (1)

Hi mate,
so you were doing 124mph+ terminals on half boost then? Mind this is over 4 years ago now. Don't forget the damp wouldnt really have too much of an effect on your terminal speeds.

I thought Karl had disclosed everything anyway....why hide just the 1/4 terminals?

What car is Ian's Duratec Turbo going into then?




Or will the Duratec going into your car??

sunny

iTrader: (1)

Hi mate,

Duratec isn't going in my car. Mine's a very...lets just say custom zetec.

Regarding Ian's Duratec engine I think it's only fair for him to disclose that on here. Mind you he's probably busy changing nappies right now as he's not long ago had another new born girly.

Johnny Knoxville

Thanks for clearing that up sunny
