The gotech loom has 3 auxillary out puts, to switch on external solonoids etc, we used one for the vvt and made it advance the cam at 4k. Mines are gsxr1000 throttle bodies, using standard injectors but with uprated fuel pressure at 4.5bar. Power......no idea???

Wye Valley Hardcore
Stage 3 Head with Kent cam, piper pullies
4-2-1 wrapped manifold
decked pistons
lightened and balenced bottom end etc
About 170 BHP as standard so figures would have been very similar to yours.
I would expect 200 with your set up fella.

Nah it takes a bit of work to fit it, and i`m happy with the BC box, not realy sure, dont think it comes close to the servo/master cyl, you are better speaking to simon at sitech racing who has fitted one to his S2. Just drop him a PM.....

It Wasnt Me!
hoping to have 300bhp atw+ so for strength, 6 gears, hyd clutch, it fits in with not allot of hassle and comes with the St170 lump so for me it makes sense, the MTX75 needs inner wing mods and Im not up for that as my cars jus been painted, not going to use the St170 mount at the top of the box, will use the original RST mount at front and back with made up brackets!

Big up-date!! its mot`d lol! Been out in it and broke it, the mk4 engine mount rubber split and the water pump hit the chassis leg and made a horrible noise and had to be towed home, booo!!!. So removed it and fitted a brand new mk3 mount i had from the zetec conv. And seems to be going realy well, hope to get it on a set of rollers soon!

White.....mmmmm, was thinkin matt black? Well its hard to have a standard st170 as it a pain to run it on standard ford managment, "black oak system" ive bn told makes it hard to wire up, as it links up to the complete cars loom, its bn done but was a mare to do....
So yeah easy n cheap 130bhp zetec with filter and exhaust, mine went realy good, but the hunger for more power got the better of me and u can see what happens.....lol

Alrite Ade, hows the motor coming along???
Yeah, heard about it somewhere and thot i`d try it, so aquired a puma 1.7 linkage, and bolted it to the gearbox and trimmed down the mount at the stick end and secured it to the tunnel, adjusted the linkage and hey-presto! Works a treat, almost like quick-shift compared to the original 16i linkage i had on it.
So if ur 20-year old linkage is like stirring soup, and u cant find a good s1-s2 linkage, a cheap puma linkage is the way ahead!
