lookin good mate

need to pic your brains about your water pump, and alternator bracket set up, Im fitting a ST engine into my car very soon

 

Any time, its hard to explain over txt what i did, alot of people have asked how i did it. I`ve found a pic of the belt set-up, i used a mk5 escort alt bracket spaced away from the block, and a cut-out for the wayer pump outlet....

 

cheers for that Shandz, gives me a wee idea how to set mine up

 

So what set-up u going for with urs?

 

I`ve been thinking about more power, so spoke to Simon, and just looking at collecting parts for a turbo conversion!! And will be knocking on the door of 300bhp.
It was just a quick conversation and we came up with this.

CR- Simon knows
GT25- not decided on spec yet
FRS exhaust manifold
Sitech racing inlet
FMIC

Also not realy sure about the vvt, to use it aswel or blank it off....
Would be interesting to see what its like with vvt+turbo!

 

keep the vvt i really don't know why everyone says bin it off .i still run it and it give the best of both worlds ie use it to bring the turbo in early and again at the top end and you will still be making power on the rev limit !!well i am and that's 7800k

 

Yeah heard alot of people blanking it off when turbo`n the st head. Think i`ll keep it!
Whats the spec of ur engine etc?
And any pics?

 

its just a high comp st engine steel rods forged pistons custom manifolds ect ect but in a fezz turb,theres a wee pic in my sig.

 

What CR, turbo, managment u running?
Any bhp figures?

 

Even if you dont run VVT you dont have to blank it off, just leave it on, oil pressure keeps it closed and it runs as normal.

 

that is not right!
I you leave the vvt only disconnected, the cam goes into the following high tourqe position!
The engine runs like this, it runs realy nice. but it dosnt have much power.
the engine does have no valve ??overcuting?? (i just know the german word, thats the translation!) when the vvt is disabled and not manualy seted!

Cheers Mark ( www.ST2000.de )

 

near standard cr,roller bearing turbo ,gotech and well over 300bhp

 

lookin great mate, bound to go well and sound awesome

my good mate bought your old zetec and it now powers his rs1600i

 

What bhp/boost would standard internals take? what manifold+turbo-gt25-28?

 

Yeah bodies sound good when on full chat!

U mean Neil? heard it spun a big end shell, and he`s got another one in now and looking to fit bike carbs....

 

I want to know what clutch?!

 

im not on standard internals but a lot of people say they are good for 300hp but how Manny of them have proof of that!
bhp don't want to say till i go back on the dyno in January, boost 20psi all the way to the limiter, custom inlet and custom exhaust manifold, and turbo is a custom spec-ed gt28.

Nice project you have going here!

With a stock internal ST170 your hp goal is good for 350hp.

I have seen some stock internals st170's up in the 370-380hp that is pushing it though.

 

Impressive!! How did they lower the CR?

 

Compression Ratio?

I don't think that they did any.

You can get ahold of a guy over on focusfanatics bigfonsz is his name his is in the 390hp mark on the stock internales.

If its on standard rods n pistons, very impressive!!

 

Yeah he's running on the standard rods and pistons.

I believe he had his tuner turn up the boost and ran a higher octane for this dyno run.

But I think he had 2 tunes done, the 390hp one is his track tune and his daily drive around tune is at 330-340hp.

 

Re-writing the laws of physics

 

aye thats right, was going well till then though lol - he got an 1800 from a mondeo that had only covered 25k so its going well again

 

Ur not joking there!! Will drop the CR with one of simons headgaskets, and go for around 300bhp....

 

Cant belive thats on std rods and pistons!

So what boost is he running? 12psi.....? And was the compression ratio altered?

 

So I may have lied Sorry...

After talking to my parts guy today he said that this guy does have his lower end built. I thought for sure when reading his thread that he only had a boost-a-pump, CFM IM and 60lb injectors

Boost for his 330hp is at 17 lbs.

Boost for his 380-390hp is at 20lbs.

 

Thought that lol

 

Neil just noticed the reply

Im going ST170 engine using the VVT at the moment, with Delorto 45's and weber Alpha 3D management

Once the cars built up and running again, Ill then use it for a couple of events to check the new suspension and brakes are all set up OK, before going for new cams and verniers , and maybe a wee update to the management, Ill wait and see

Ill put some pics of the engine all built up for you to see tomorrow, just finished it tonite, with my take on the water pump solution

 

looking good

 

Heres mine

just made a bracket , and shaft to mount the idling pulley, just need to go to the local autoparts to get the right sized belt also modified the alternator bracket and engine mount

 

nice conversion there m8 must rev really well ,now get an mot and use it 4 now as is then when you get used to it up grade l8r cheers
Andy

 

Yeah looks ok, longs the water pump spins anti-clockwise....

 

What exhaust manifold u using?

 

its one of these tubular type manifolds , originally for a Focus, but modified to fit my car

 

Why not just use the standard manifold?

You should just bolt a turbo to the focus manifold, looks like its askin for one lol

 

splendid work...

 

So Dalsy, whens the next RSOC track day a k-hill?

 

last year was members only mate
