Looks good, what colour is it and what manufacturer uses it? It's a similar colour to what I had in mind for my Vauxhall.

s23rta

It's harley davidson concord purple dude, with alot more metallic

s23rta

I got a black top zetec 2.0 came from a mint car, 77k with full service history, would be willing to swap/part x against rst cvh zvh or silver top zetec 2.0

Unless some one can tell me how to fabricate the mounts etc that I need to build a zetec turbo using the black top

Rab

I like that alot! Nice!

s23rta

full interior in, tailored frames been litterally chopped in less than half and re welded so the seat can sit lower, last time the recaro's were in they were pretty much bolted to the floor. rear seats in as well, may get them all trimmed but atm the engines prioritty




engine bay wwas in desperate need of a tidy up, ignore the gold catch, it'll be sorted ahahaha



full boot build, took about 10 hours to complete from start to finnish, thanksto shaun for the help, all trimmed in leather


all ready to go now before the engine work starts

s23rta

Started on the engine, building a zetec turbo from a black top, stripped the head and cleaned it up at work this morning



Lined the rst gasket up to see where I gotta drill, not a damn hole lines up, just my luck,



Bought a front mount from redbitz in cannock, got a t3 off eBay in good cond. Can't wait to get it all built up

s23rta

heads finnished


started work on the bottem end this week but im moving out soon so ill have my own garage to work in

need some help with management, thinking of using ofab, can anyone help with info on it please?

ozmk1cos

This car colour and wheels seem to work well, I must say I wouldnt have thought so before i saw it but top marks and good luck with the engine build

very nice car

s23rta

cheers twins

back on the road today, taxed for the summer lol, will be at central day

s23rta

not sure what to do with the front, the front bumper looks tiny so need a spiller of some sort, i have an escos style bib but unsure if i want to fit it or not,

Ryan_3

stunning mate

crumpet

whats spec of zt pal, what t3? one of a rst aint worth fitting imo, t3 from a cossie would be better at 12 psi, standard bottom end with decomp, ofab management with ahmed live map/chip, fiat coupe beige injectors, rover coupe turbo inlet ( i have one of these) and few other bits can make 250 and 250+ftlbs

I would go meagasquirt over OFAB in a flash.

Rob,

s23rta

Black top 2.0, s2 t3 2mm decomp plate, focus rs gaskets and I have either the 2litre plastic inlet or the xr3i mark five efi inlet,

Fiat coupe injectors? Never thought about them, how much do they go for?

I would love to use ms but ATM I'm on a tight budget as I just bought my first house so I thought ofab would be the best option for now

crumpet

Ł50 injectors, that rst t3 will struggle on a 2.0.

s23rta

What u running?

crumpet

Not a zetec anyway but i can gaurantee a rst t3 with a .36 housing will be too small, and people will agree with me, best bet is to buy a cossie t3 which has a .48 housing and bigger compressor side, at 14 psi can make around 240-250bhp, plus you can run a 3" downpipe easily which you can move around as it has the 3 bolt housing.

Also you need the flywheel from your standard 1.8 for a rst clutch

s23rta

Yeh we figured out we needed the ib5 flywheel, mtx was far too big,

Need an ofab ecu and loom if anyone has one at the right price

crumpet

best bets ebay mate, go cheap on there, best place for chips/live maps are ahmed at grove ( Ł300) and stu at msd ( Ł240 or 500)

s23rta

where in the mids u from mate?

s23rta

had a little tidy up ready for central day tomoro

fitted bonnet lifters and laguna splitter, only did it to see what it would look like but i like 'em so their staying for now
