So, did this engine ever re-emerge?

Big Will_

Paul Johnson now owns the Focus shell it came out of/was going into and the last time i spoke to Ian he'd bought an Evo and i'm hearing rumours of a MASSIVE power engine for that

justin2

you'd be right on that ians evo is around 700-750 brake and that was back in september but he hadn't got round to taking standard engine out then and putting big brake in!

marky_g

whats it goin in tho?

700-750bhp? On a standard engine?

justin2

no the standard evo 300 bhp is still in the car the big brake engine is waiting to go in! reads pretty much like that i thought anyway!

zetaboostboy522bhp

i know ian very well and i know that hes building a serious engine for his evo 700+ bhp , so everyone watch this space. good look even though youve turned to the darkside mate!
area six motorsport will most probably be a well know evo tuner aswell as a ford tuner in the near future
GOOD LUCK!

So, he's not running the engine he bought for the Evo?

COCHYN

Well let's face it, not many Evo tuners left in business now are there

RAT8OY

I think Ians been spoilt buy reliability and having a fast car he drives EVERY day!

He keeps talking about no oil leaks on his drive and never having to lift the bonnet!

Paul, you are right 'The dark side' for sure! LOL!

Rick

he never struck me as a particularly good engineer.

RAT8OY

Not wanting to get into a big debate but you have to look at the power his record holding engines have developed! He cant be that bad!

As far as I know he doesnt preclaim to be an engineer, he works for Anglain water! I think he see's himself as an engine builder hobby/sideline type thing. I have known him for years and havnt ever had a problem with him and his stuff to me has ALWAYS done what it says on the tin! For that reason I will defend him.

zetaboostboy522bhp

are you talking out your fuckin arse or what! ,dans right in what he says he might not be an engineer but i he can bolt a crackin engine together and he also dont have the big resources that the likes of mountune etc have. also his engines have produced more and more bhp each time on the dyno i might add , not some fuckin idoit taking shit down the pub claiming 9million bhp from a 1.1 . i also think that paul roberts 280bhp fiesta still holds a u.k record and paul johnson holds the fastest fwd ford to date 179.1mph so shall we leave your silly quote there!
p.s i hope you enjoy your pint!

zetaboostboy522bhp

no mate i think hes sold it , maybe 700bhp wasnt enough for a daily driver.
i know what hes like , he one of those blokes who likes to take credit for his own work!
cheers mate

RAT8OY

Hello mate, Try not to rise to it to much mate! There are alot of experts on here but I will say Rick normaly talks a lot of sense! I assume he has a reason for his comments???

Hows the cage work coming along?

RAT8OY

P.S. Paul Johnsons record was 179.8mph, by the way LOL!

RAT8OY

I was there when he did it and have got to say the moment they were waiting for the laptop to calculate the times and Dave Moore turning to Paul and saying 'Thats it mate, you have the record 179.8' was an insperation, perhaps why I have pissed the cash I have! I certainly went home that day thinking I need to either rethink things or get out the game! LOL!

zetaboostboy522bhp

why does everyone seem to think they always know better , the proof is in the pudding ,rick might be an expert and a good engineer (i was only joking about the pint and the 9 million bhp from a 1.1) so why isnt he congratulating ian on his success? iam the first person to admit i dont know everything about cars but its always a learning process .
whats the reason for his comments?

the cage is coming on well so he says! . hes cutting the boot floor out for the diff ,finishing the boxing on the crosses, seam welded the underside, or he better had as iam popping round next week on the sly!
iam going for a andrew gallagher style focus rear end on the mk6 so there alot of work ahead!.wrc cradle on the front yeh!
andrew gallagher well done mate quality car and and a wicked build
i also never get tired at looking at the pics of your car

Rick

I didn't know area 6/fiesta frenzy was a sideline, in that case fair play. PS, pint was good...

GaryEvo

haha thats funny as fuck,have you not seen traders list on mlr....

zetaboostboy522bhp

nice one mate a good response ,
p.s (hope it was stella)
cheers paul

MJ_RST

So ians not a fully qualified mechanic/engine builder/tuner then??

Big Will_

Define 'qualified'

rst-g

dont really matter if he is or not look at what his engines do!!!

MikeR

not as far as i am aware, and in all honesty is also comes across as a fairly arrogant bloke when l have spoke with him,

MJ_RST

Well, does he have recognised qualifications/papers for his trade etc...??

Big Will_

I don't personally know the answer to that - there aren't particular bits of paper you can get for road car tuning as such- but i do know that in all my dealings with him he was utterly professional and his engines make the numbers and times

zetaboostboy522bhp

are you sure youve got the right fella? when ive been round his house he takes calls upto 10 at night with people asking all sorts of questions about there cars and hes not even built them, but remember no-ones going to give all there secrets away!

patalrob

Ian is a great and helpfull guy.

I have spoke to him Via/email asking him questions on my SVT with PWSC kit and he has been great help for me.

Thanks Ian!

3i_gaz

why does he need them? as said earlier on in the thread, the proof is in the pudding, look at the engines he has built in the past and the development work he has carried out.

MJ_RST

Well you wouldnt let some random operate on you, just cause he says hes a surgeon. Or someone build you a house without the proper certificates etc etc......

ive spoken to ian loads and he has always been very very helpful,the quality of his work is amazing and he knows what he is talking about,when ever i have spoken to him he has never been arrogant or not wanting to know even if you ask him the most random thing lol, all in all he is a top bloke and i would recomend him and his work to any one

zetaboostboy522bhp

certificates ! i think ians cars and engines hold some very impressive certificates,
there called dyno sheets 536bhp (well done mr dan arrowsmith)
fwd top speed records 179.9mph p.johnson
fwd 0-60 records 4.39secs p.roberts/p.johnson
fastest ford 0-100mph in 9.5 secs which still holds the record! p.roberts

is that enough or would you like some more!

rst-g

paul j done 9sec to 100 in the focus last time it was out (19s wheels)

zetaboostboy522bhp

fookin respect on 19s thats goin some

danneth

RAT8OY
