Its only took you how long to do a 12.1 "track boy"?

You should be well in the 11's by now like the quick Vauxhalls

2 runs IIRC on his previous spec, he wont need that many attempts before its in the 11s on its next outing though.

Every Ford in the running has either an ST170 box or MTX...which means it can only be shafts

im going to bump this thread two weeks before central day just to see how manny of these big power cars are actually going to go and do it !! as it seems we get this kind of talk all the time .

p-s this not aimed at anyone in particular.

Pretty basic mods on a C20let powered Nova or Corsa will get you in the 12's easy. Like every second one at a quarter mile day get blinding times where as FWD Fords are nothing but a let down in comparison.

Its not like theres a shortage of big power fwd Fords either. Maybe the problem is too much power and not enough concentration on traction issues and chassis set ups ?

crazycage

i hope so .

Power is not the issue, its weight! An ERST tips the scales at 985kg in standard trim, a Frst is 910kg. I have just weighed them on the same scales.

A Nova I would suppose is even lighter?

A nova let will be about the same as a Fiesta, you can get novas down to the 600's with a small block, I'd say on average most nova LETS are approx 850-900 as they have all been stripped to death.

xr2i-carl

didnt realise FRST was as low as 910KG.

crazycage

the book figure is 909kg. running high 12s is really easy with around 300hp .

xr2i-carl

what will a 220HP one run?

crazycage

i dont know, i can only comment on a 300hp fezz as thats what mine is and does consistently.

xr2i-carl

what spec is your FRST and what tyres do you run? stripped out also?

crazycage

its a 2.0l zetec turbo approx 300hp ,avo coilovers 15" wheels. i have ran 12.7s with and without the interior i found it to make no difference on my car. i run R888s

xr2i-carl

What boost for that HP? and also what 60ft's you running?

crazycage

peaks 1.3 bar holds 1.2, 2.2 60 fts every time ,working on getting that down a little bit tho.

xr2i-carl

Sounds good mate, as your a zetec turbo man surely you can help me with my piston queries?!

crazycage

they all do the same job mate i persoally run wossners im engine but they are no better than cp or arias or omega ,je ect ect they are all as good the next imo.

xr2i-carl

standard Zetec no good? Nver heard of Cp just arias etc.

Whats sort of price?

crazycage

all depends what you want from them . most pistons are about Ł450-Ł550 a set.

xr2i-carl

Just want a reliable 220ish HP.

CP are about the best pistons you can get. Harvey Gibbs and Mark Shead swear by them which certainly says something about them imo. Luca runs them in his car also.

xr2i-carl

There the proper expensive ones yeah? I dont want anything like that really.

TimC

Depends where you look. Not so badly priced in the states, but rather expensive over here.
