Ginge !

pmsl, well i just told the fooker with the bike who keeps parking infront to fook right off , i moved the cossie forward and the fooker still tried to park there the wanker

hes been moved and dans got me doing another job for 2 weeks pmsl

but sat we will take out the engine and thenevenings ill be stripping the fooker

got some really cool ideas for it too

MadMac

Yeah gowan guys just hijack my perfectly sensable thread and fill it with your "I Live in da Gehtto" bollocks, I dont mind guys

Stavros

Like Ginge said, it sounds like a fucking waste of cash when you can have an entire decent car for that money, rather than just a relativley powerful but highly streessed lump for some P.O.S.

A 7.5k RX7 or 3dr is far better than a FWD fiesta with a 7.5k 290bhp engine in it...

Ginge !

stu post was answered then it got stupid with 10k engines

so we decided to make it serious

have ya spoke to fudgeass

SimonT

Stu catch me on msn after 6 mate

We can have a waffle about it then

Johnny Knoxville

I've seen this motor and its going to be mad one!!

MadMac

Wont be able to mate, will be out tonight, but deifnately will have a chat some other time

Markb_s1

it all depends on what you're going to be using it for imo.

Ginge !

road use, a rx7 is newer, better looking, faster, better balance, beter handling, more comfortable, more reliable as far as general prducts go and got a better resale value

10k in a 500quid xr2 is still a xr2 after all, but with a 10k specialist engine that the majority wioth that cash would rather a newer car

a xr2 turbo is worth more in bit than together these days, gonna be hard to sell a trick engine thats 10k to buy new

MadMac

Yeah but its no fun having a fast RX-7 cus people expect it.

At least if your kicking arse in a fezzer people go... "That shouldn't be right..."

Ginge !

stu the point is ya not gonna do anything as its gonna hadle like shit, only gonna be 300bhp and gonna wheel spin and nothing else

i dont get the suprise attack theorys, is that for people who wanna be different to get more attention they crave and cant get it any other way

look at it from this point of veiw, its still a old shitty ford , thats what people see

RX7 would get ya laid and a bird wont know what it is but it looks more like a sports car than a nurse's car witha body kit

you aint gonna spend 15k on this car anyway so thats a pointless argument as im sure you would rather a better car than a xr2 for 15k

now back in the real world for a momemnt


SPEAK TO FUDGEASS ABOUT HIS THROTTLE BODDIES and get it on aftermarkt for a very very fast car with stock engine thats cheep as chip anbd will have that suprize attack as most erst's are fooked anyway so 175 no lag high torque will make a general bleed valve erst cry up to 90MPH, then it will piss on ya

Markb_s1

ginge has a point though... but it's not like you're going for the 10k mountune engine is it?

The main use for an engine like that is admittedly the track, which is what my current car is being built with in mind. (still won't be spending that much on an engine though )

however.....

this could probably be said for half the cars on this board!

Markb_s1

spot on m8!

Ginge !

kark thats true about half the cars on the board but turbo cars are slightly more fun to to the way the power kicks in

a N/A car is about reliability and a predictable power band, meaning ya dont have to just come on boost and slipp the clutch or spin th wheels but get the car to work well

if ya gonna do anything with a car, learn from peeps mistakes big time, dont go turbo engine, look at totb, non of em done anything but broke down

so keep it cheep and reliable and with a stock engione ya got a secret car thats different BUT will cost 150 quid a replacement with loads available all over the place once all the custom parts are made

then spend ya wages on getting ya end wet and the car for a toy

16vzetec

ive got a 2.0l zetec.
what power do you recon it will push out?
MODS;
2050 cc recon lump
ported and polished head as new with new internals.
kent cams
kent pulleys
fse power boost valve
trust inlet manifold
4 branch stainless manifold
no cat
large bore exhaust system
rs2000 engine management so no air flow meter
unichip
k and n
my estimate is 180-190bhp.
it all depends on how well the inlet manifold performs, ive heard they work good.

PF Dave

Stu have a look at a new management system we've got in the next PF, it's cheap as chips and offers the same sort of features as say an Omex 500 or entry level DTA ECU but for MUCH less so could be right up your street...

Oh, and as already said, throttle bodies, some nice cams, raised compression and a rather funky exhaust should give you the right side of 200bhp and a LOT of fun.

Fudgey

iTrader: (4)

i had a 2.0l zetec in my mk6 escort, easily running 180+bhp

decked block
skimmed head
focus RS head gasket - all this to raise comp
45mm suzuki GSXR throttle bodies - made to fit
kent cams
cossie injectors
ST170 4-2-1 manifold and decat - still have for sale!
SECS S8

the std zetec injectors max out at about 175bhp too

SimonT

Megasquirt dave?

PF Dave

Nope, something new, and better than that for not much more...

do i need cossie injectors??
