POWER,


Had the xr2tt on Surrey RR on 3/6/06
Big thanks goes to Charlie @ Surrey RR, Top bloke and service

- Was running stg3 head, cvh 36 cam, and T25 turbo.


With safe ign (no det), and fuel setting (not perfect)

12psi- 179 Bhp/fly, 170 lbft/fly, 148 Bhp/wheel, 140 lbft/wheel
15psi- 186 Bhp/fly, 184 lbft/fly, 155 Bhp/wheel, 156 lbft/wheel
18psi- 191 Bhp/fly, 194 lbft/fly, 159 Bhp/wheel, 161 lbft/wheel
21psi- 198 Bhp/fly, 199 lbft/fly, 166 Bhp/wheel, 167 lbft/wheel

The Most it made was @ 21 psi, but ignition was advanced 4 degrees more than what i can run on the road with out det,

21psi- 203 Bhp/fly, 204 lbft/fly, 169 Bhp/wheel, 170 lbft/wheel


They were all recorded , in 28+oC ambients, and the car run 14 runs in total in 15-20 mins with out proper cool down stops, But ACT's, coolant and oil temps all stayed @ fine temps.



Thats compared to what it got on PTS RR in 4/2004,
on same bottom end, but different head,cam, downpipe, inter, But was on 9.3:1 c/r.

@ 13psi = 199bhp/fly, 174bhp/wheels ,228lb/ft
@ 10psi = 182bhp/fly, 152bhp/wheels, 199lb/ft





Wieght

as on road 1035kg (inc me at 85kg) with tools,spare and stuff.
as wen i got 13.8 1/4 = 985kg with me.




Performance

Avon raceway 10-06, 9x 13's, best at 13.6 @100mph, on road tyres and about 180bhp.
4 x 13.8's @ 102-104 mph at pod 8/04 with 27-29 0C ambients
Top speed on gps is 140mph at 6.6k in 5th. in under a mile.on old engine spec
6/06 @ Brunters for PF thrash, on new spec engine, did 133mph @ 6300rpm, but wouldn't rev any more, on 12psi and in under a mile from stand still. i also done 14.9@99mph in the wet, and 0-60 in 6.2.





Future plans/ specs



New bonnet with pulser side vents. got both, just need sorting
Aimin for 240bhp, low 13's @ 110 mph.
add more rear camber.
A new 2.5' zorst,









Heres a few more pics of my xr2tt taken 4/06. and 6/06

31.8.13.

Sorry for no updates, as not really had any on my Cars.
I still have the Fiecos, but not rolled a wheel since 2006, but one day. .
The xr2tt was sold off in parts 3 years ago, as in 2008 - present I retook up riding and racing motor bikes. So proper been off the car scene since 2009 ish.

Things went a bit soar on 19.9.12, where after a road accident on my bike, I ended up on a life support machine, and with other injuries, my right leg was amputated above the knee, and my right arm/hand was paralyzed due to nerve damage.
Anyhow, after a wee spell in the NHS care, I'm getting back to life, running on my new robo leg, and been back riding after i adoated my 2007 Yamaha R1 race bike to all left hand controls, and been back on track since April this year, as well as racing again after having to prove I was able to ride at page to get my Race License back. My return race meeting in May i managed 2x 3rds and 2x 4th's. I'm just trying to bounce back as fast and hard as possible.

Fastmaul

Sweet Jesus, that Fiesta cossie looks Amazing!!!

I noticed no block work like pistons or rods..are they standard??

fords4fun

im loving the cossie, i got a psg kit lying around and i came on here to look into rwd or 4x4 ing a fiesta. im not loaded so im thinking xr4x4 gear or if i could find it rs2000 4x4 (not likely) although i hear its the same as mondy. for now or escort mk2 rear diff, i like the idea of filling the arches on the kit and making a track day car.

Fiecos Dan

no the block has the usual 500 bhp spec, l+b, arp stud thro and rod bolts, valve pockets, cometic gaskets, head is the usual big ports and flowed, std valves.

Fiesta Ben

Very nice matey, I've been out in a 330bhp fiesta cossie and that was very very quick for me anyway. 505bhp is gonna be awsome!!!!

fords4fun

so did djm make the shell ready for the cossie lump? who are they and what does it cost?

richgander

hello mate ive got a mk4 escort g6 s4 gartrac with 4x4 cosworth running gear in the same colour blue as yours . my one is only running 360 and that is mad enough. what sort of times do you get down the quarter mile?

Fiecos Dan

hi,

djm are a firm who do rally cross and rally cars prep, shell conversions,
i think it costs about 3-4 k, only by memory.

well its got the spec to be low to sub 11 sec car at the pod. Thats wot im aimin for.

Daviet

both cars are very very nice mate
love the mk3 but always wanted a mk2 turbo as my first 2 cars were xr2's and will always love them

jayRS

did you not do the shell your self than mate? also was there some form or engineers report or something that had to be done to the car?

luke89

iTrader: (1)

Fiecos Dan

no, djm done the conversion for the bloke who owned it b4 me, i think he done the log book stuff,
no probs on mot's,
just gets tested like a h reg none cat car.

B13F RS

Can remember reading about the Cossy Fiesta in Fast Ford very nice mate the thing i like about it is that its been done right and looks like a factor build And at 500 horses!!! that must be totally crazy on the road RSpect!

Fiecos Dan

cheers,

i do try to make things look neat on the cossie, but i aint really got time to do that on the xr2tt, that only gets time spent on its runnin, not looks.

Fiecos Dan
