harness bars are perfect -

I'll be runnign Omex and 300+ bud.

300+ n/a ?? an what engine is it ?

Minirotty

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

type me the awnser, i dont do reading when half asleep

Minirotty

it's an I4 bud

brief spec

2.2 stroker - 2.3 block, 2L Crank (steel or LnB Knife edged have both) LnB fly wheel, Steel rods, Cosworth forged pistons built to 13:1 c/r, 2L worked head, Maxi cams, adjustable cam sprockets, uprated springs, solid lifters, Pace Dry Sump, 4-1 manifold one off 2/12 to 3" bore, 45mm Jenveys etc etc

2L Maxi blocks ran 280 BHP, I'm building 2.2 stroker but with what I think is better spec than the maxi 2L and aiming for 300+.

16vzetec

the very last maxi's had 305bhp just before they were dropped for being to fast!

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

they claimed 305 hp, just trying to think what inlets they were using, barrels or slides, i think it was slides they used on the late big power ones and were in the area of 285 bhp, they never made much more

there is lots of dyno sheets at work ill have to have a look through

think they changed the inlets from barrels to slides or vice versa dependant on the surface of the rally, gravel, tarmac

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

sounds good mate be god to see it on a proper dyno to see what it really gives over a rolling road but all the same will be good to see !

Minirotty

they ran slides on the late ones, I doubt this'll make the power I want on it's first run out the box but it wont be shy either.

ill get the fucker to 300+ as ill develop it there as I know its achievable, if it wasnt i wouldn't be trying.

would have chosen slide for this but couldnt find any available but when a set comes up ill get um if possible at the time.

Minirotty

Update on parts not shell lol

Collected 9 x alloy wheels today for mine and Sams car - OZ Ford MotorSport Magnesium 18x8's

removed from Colin MrCaes works focus's.





Most have hair line cracks to rims so in need of repair but for what they cost theyre defo worth it.

also picked this up -





Spot whats missing from this rocker cover?

Oil filler cap - hasn't got one, was removed from this black cabby - I dont need oil filler as im runing dry sump!

Minirotty

I'll tell them it's a development engine that needs no oil

Minirotty

Couple of lads found out I had them and asked for one for memorabelia (sp)purpuses lol I said piss off obviusly lol

Are you sure the Works wheels are 108 PCD?

The centre bore is also massive compared to standard Ford!

spudmurphy

Were the wheels listed on ebay till recently?

Was gutted when the auction got pulled, was hoping for a last minute cheap ebay snipe lol

Cool project btw

Spud

caprizetec170

ya sure those wheels will fit do a bit of work on rally cars seen some of these and seem more like 120 pcd and 90 mm center bore

Minirotty

they were, i went to collect another part off of the seller and saw these in his garden so had um

not sure if I can get um to fit onto this car as yet but if it proves to much work ill fit them to my other RS

cossiedevil

As said on another site love them rims and nice progress.Getting mad looking at all these updates and unable to do anything on my own rs

Minirotty

lol cheers bud but I'm sure once your new garage is built you'll crack on and get loads more than me done
