Looks great, needs finishing off and tidying up though. What power is it running do you think?

 

It is OBX. Got it from America, £160, I think..

It's not "show van", it's due a tidy up, agreed! I use for work everyday.
power wise have no idea, had it on rollers while back, didn't get any real figures, due to wheelspin..I will take it on rollers again in near future..
It's running 21psi..

 

hi yeah that is true its a good ecu very easy to understand ,i did have my escort rst running for two weeks on it at low boost using original distributor it ran quite good it was when i wanted to run it on more boost think i must have had an ignition fault in a way should have perceived with it instead tried to run it on trigger wheel and coil pack for wasted spark well done for sticking with it ,will be interesting too see what it runs bhp and toque

 

Nice one mate...any links etc of where you got it from?

 

Cheers pal the question is though if i hadnt of said on the other thread what engine was in it would you of known ? as i was going for the stealthy approach lol

 

I searched for "focus turbo manifold" on American e-bay...

 

hi plenty of torque then lol sounds good too me ,can't wait to get mine mapped

 

rear discs fitted,


Thought i try and make van run cooler..and found this out!
-Rover 200 1.8D (Q&H number:QTH328) thermostat (78c) straight fit, to std zetec 88c
-Sierra mk2 2.3D (intermotor number:50012) Fan switch (86-77c), to std zetec 95-105c
..should do the job!
Fitted new thermostat and fan switch..stationary, in traffic, water temp is 20c cooler!!
even when driven hard it's 15c cooler!
there's also slight drop on oil temp!
can't beleive i didn't work this out earlier!!

hi,every one.nice moded van.I have a problem I would be very happy if someone would like to help me.I am building a zetec turbo engine and bought supertech valves from the US.the lenght of the valves are the same but the ony difference is that the european valve version has 3 grooves(cotter) and the US version has 1 groove.I bought 1 groove cotters and valves springs+retainers from ford racing US.when the head was fit with the new parts there was a loss in fitted leght of 4mm.it seems that the only way out is to find offset valve spring reatiners which I cant find.can someone help me please.

 

Mad project, proper sleeper

 

Awesome van mate what would you say the total figure for the engine is? and Whats the rear disc set up off? Thanks
