MEV. 320bhp Jamsport built s2 rs turbo
Ok so ive Had the car a few months now and done a few bits and pieces so thought id post up on here what ive done so far, lots more i want to do over the winter months to get her ready for next year.
This was how the S2 looked when i first got it. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...20s2/first.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...195422_806.jpg Over the last couple of months i have added a rear cage,new lights all round,new plates, de-tinted the car,fitted a genuine ford rear decal back on,new omp suede steering wheel and gauges and just fitted some gas struts under the bonnet(no more pole in the way now!) Am going to get most parts under the bonnet painted satin black as have had enough of cleaning chrome to last me a life time! Have fully clayed the car with megs clay bar then mopped the car with poorboys ssr2, merenza power polish,followed by poorboys diamond white show glaze then waxed with collonite 473s. Inside so far ive taken out the seats and given them a good vax and done the carpets etc, am pleased with how its come up so far. Next on the list is to get my custom front/rear braces bolted on, rear disc conversion and bias valve fitted, b&m short shifter and a freshen up under the bonnet. Quick spec of the car also below Engine mods- 2.1 Zetec bottom end Conversion with Cosworth Racing wrc rods, Cosworth Pistons, Steel Crank, AP shells/bearings/nuts/bolts. Multilayer Head Gasket,cvh " crosshatch" head, Stage 3 cylinder head(jamsport spec) , ported, polished and gas flowed. Solid lifters, titanium valve springs.Newman cam. Vibratechnic mounts, Custom tubular manifold, GT30R roller bearing turbo(jamsport spec), Custom inlet manifold, cosworth idle control valve. Silicone hoses water and boost. Pipercross airfilter. Custom down pipe and mongoose 3.5'' system with 4'' outward rolled tailpipe. Omex 600 Pro electronic management system,focus rs injectors,pro alloy rad & intercooler, coil packs (NO distributor).cts stage 2+ box with Quaife lsd,ap racing 6 paddle clutch,s1 anti rollbar setup,fully polybushed,uprated cosworth fuel pump Heres how the car looks after 2 months of owning it... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...%20s2/new1.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...%20s2/new2.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...%20s2/new3.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...%20s2/new4.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...%20s2/new5.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y19...54_3969709.jpg |

Hi paul ,Lee at fusion made the cage for me as a one off but makes them to however you want and had him powdercoat it black for me.See your s2 is a 6 speed...how much of a job was it to get the box in and has it lived up to the job well? yours sounds a similar spec car..
had to have a new rear mount welded to the chassis and a new top mount welded in place. you'll also need equal length drive shafts (dave Mc), hydraulic pedal box and linkages etc. and yeah, its lived up too the job... lots of abuse :grin: well worth the work ! regards paul |

No i thought this also... think that figure was a bit optimistic then...iirc from the service history it was more like 290bhp back then or around that mark.
my fezz turbo pulls 116.5mph with 310hp, do you plan on doing any 1/4s with now you have it ?? |

Will be doing a few track days next year in the car and hopefully a few runs up the strip.Have had the car rolling roaded recently on a dd set of rollers, where it made 299.5bhp@15psi and 318bhp@18psi. Sowill hopefully get some better times :-)

you should easy be in the 12s with that power if you can get some good grip in 1st and 2nd.

i run 215-50-15s R888s but i really dont know if that is better than running 17s ,i think tim off here runs 17s and he's also run in the 12s but best to just try and see what happens.. if you can get the first 60ft right the rest is easy lol.
|
I saw this at JAMSPORT when i was having mine set up.Looked nice.
Dug this pic out.Just see it in the background.I think jamie said you had to skim the back of the rims to fit the brakes. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...er123/jam4.jpg |
one of my favourite s2's, be interesting to see how it performs next year. Sure that turbo can handle alot more then 18psi if you get bored lol.

its a shame there's not a cheap option, touch wood your current box holds out for a while. What box does jamsport recommend? Also what box did christian (apt) and the nms rst's use?
|
^^The cts stage 2+ should be up to the job fine really,mine has had a new gearset put in which has been shot-peened so hopefully stronger,not to sure what box christians ran or the nms one but do know that a focus st170 box is the way to go imo
|
looks awesome mate
|
Just a small update...this turned up today from the powdercoaters so will be fitting it, along with my rear brace at the weekend.The front one was a one off and well chuffed with it :-)
