why didnt u use the proper zetec managament rather than 1.6 and superchip?

coz zetec has air flow meter and i cant run one.
especially when ive fitted my throttle boddies with unichip

loving it mate!!

its like a non budget build of mine!!!!

wish i had the spondools to build that spec n power into mine!!!

thats gonna be a weapon!! :top:

gonna be good when its done, have you got any idea of what power its pushing now :D

looks wicked mate.wat was goin on with the roof?was that filler on it?

you gonna leave the standard bumpers on it mate or put rst ones on??

thats what im looking at doing with mine but im going down the sme route as chiz (thanks for help & advice :top: ) that top picture could be my car :cry: EXACTLY the same as mine all ive done is strip out the interior & put some alloys on :oops: but collecting parts & info first :roll: but now i know what i could look like :cool: top job there & keep the updates comming :top:

looks class that :cool:

it wont be more than 180bhp as it is but i need to run it in before i fit the throttle boddies and unichip then im hopeing for 200bhp.

thats 18 months worth of dust mate, there's no filler on this motor, its 100% solid

standard bumpers, ive got to get a better condition front one as mines a bit poo.
no spoiler too, just dtm mirrors and thats it.

bit stealthy then :top:

people won't be expecting it if you leave it like that :D

my favourite mod is this

:? how does it drive/feel with PAS as im not a big fan of it on cars ive had :orion escorts mondeo but got to admit parking a slower driving you do miss it sometimes :roll: but my mk4 escort van feels safer on faster wollowey roads if you know what i mean ???

i know exactly what you mean.
at the moment i have yet to drive it fast so i dont know how it will bee.
but slow driving it is superb.
alot of escorts suffer from unstability and it feels like the power steering causing it but it smore to do with setup.
my mk6 escort drives 100% coz the mk6 had more caster to eliminate tramlining.

hey mate great job but jus wondering is the main engine mounting a straight fit or did you use the cvh engine one? :S wud be greatful if u cud help me on this please lol :top: scorpion_rst@hotmail.com :DD:

its a cvh with the corner chopped off, zetec ones dont fit.
check out my site

updated pics in first post.
nearly ready

you did mod the mount for a 3rd bolt hole didnt you?

also, what management you running? see you not got the AFM in the last pic?

yes.
and im running megasquirt.
although i have got to get it mapped better.
i did try zetec managemenet to run it in but it was way out with all the mods i have

what steering rack are you using to get power steering? as i wanna fit it to my mk4 cab,cheers

to be honest mate i'd forget it.
it was a major job.
took me months and cast alot.
i used a nissan bluebird rack and coupling for the bottom of the steering colum.
i had to modify the bulkhead to fit the rack.
then i had to get custom made steering colum.
then custom made adjustable track rods.
custom made pipes.
but the only easy thing was using the complete mk5 power seering pump and bracketry assembly which you couldnt do unless you had a zetec.
major pain in arse.
id spend some time looking around scrap yards for a p/s rack that will be more of a direct fit rather than the nissan rack
