Time for an update been fitting parts rather than collecting them
Went to fit the straight cut box and ran into a problem as it had a saf output flange rather than the thinner escos one , this ment finding a saff donut and prop section or switch the back end of the box over from my original.

Saff



Escos



Transfer case switch



New box painted and fitted



Grease nipples fitted to front prop





The next pics will give a clue as to next weeks job and this weeks new purchase





Hope to get my standard exhaust cam fitted and timed up tommorow or fri, and get a new chip and injectors ordered from MSD.

 

sweet

 

Nice one mate

 

carnt beat a good box nice mods so far them front brakes are massive

 

I have just fitted the standard exhaust cam and timed it up, i found the BD14 inlet to be a tooth out and also a little out on the vernier. This was giving .23mm lift at TDC where it should be .66mm, Im not sure on the effect this would of had on the engine if any but may of been part of the reason for the lag.

 

Chip and injectors have tuerned up from MSD so those are fitted , just need to fit the cooler and rad back in.
The temp gauge has always sat a little high, so Im going to fit a new sensor while the water is dumped and may fit the rad off of my old car as i know that never had any temp problems.

 

Got the injectors fitted along with the covers and coolers back on today along with the new leads, so just a waiting game now on the turbo and the mods that will go with it. :icon_smile:







Im tempted to get the air injector bodies anodised black
Also trying to get hold of Ryan to get my loom back as that will be getting fitted while the car is getting set up hopefully

 

very nice

 

Decided to crackle finnish the air injector bodies, there just drying justnow so here is a couple of quick Iphone pics.

 

that suits em just right mate

 

looks mint!

 

Looking good mate

 

looking spot on fella,



what happend to not modding it lol





who you gettin the turbo from - cost ?

beef

 

Rebuilt and refitted








Beef im getting the turbo from CR Turbos, comes in at around Ł1200 then need a modded oil drain and water fittings along with the V ban fitting welded to the downpipe.

 

Got my modded loom back from Ryan and it looks like new







Been a little hold up with the turbo so looks like that wont be here before I go back to work, that means I have 3 days when i get home to get the car back together and checked over for the Ford day at Knockhill on the 26th

 

 

its all looking very good keep up the good work

 

Thanks there will be a couple of weeks brake then hopefully i will get it run up, either on a rolling road or tested with wide band lambda all being well with the cam timing and gearbox.

 

Nice spec in progress Neil

 

Here are the last parts to be fitted next week then hopefully the car will be on the road. I have also bought a small turbo inlet of Dave, that will be getting done crakle black and fitted at the same time as the loom by Sitech Racing.

 

Love this car Neil, going to be a good all rounder.

 

very nice

 

You are as rubbish as me at sticking to your word!

 

Awesome car Neil engine bay was perfect before cant beleive how much its improved again !!

 

Ive got a long way to go to be as bad as you for that Lee, but it is a bad habbit we all have and a hard one to kick.

 

Looking good


Brian

 

Gonna be a nice spec Neil,

The props look minty mint, did you have them refurbished? also do you remember what size thread was on the grease nipples? i have 1 in 1 end of my front prop but want to buy another for the other end,

Thanks
Marc

 

looking good Neil mate

 

Mark the props were like that when i got the car , not sure if Wenny had them done or if they are original.
Im sure the grease nipples were M6

Im hoping that it should be a nice drivable spec , it went ok before but was laggy on the T34 im hoping the changes i have made will help that. With it running standard diffs I will more than likely get the boost capped depending on how harsh it comes in.

 

neil how much was the gt all in ?


pm if you prefer mate

 

Beefy buy the time you buy the water and oil kit along with hoses your looking at Ł1500

The engine in this car is similar spec to my original engine in the white car so will be interesting to see how a GT30 compares to the other turbos i have ran.
T34.63
T34.55
CR T38
Roller T4

 

What comp is it bud? not silly low comp is it???

 

It is low at 7.2:1 but the engine was already built before i got the car. That wont be getting changed unless something goes wrong with the engine ideally i would have it around 7.8:1, but to be honest my old big spec engine was in the 6's and didnt notice any real change to drivability.

 

Yer i was going to ask about how that engine drove as my mate Steve bought it, but hasnt used it yet lol

 

Love the car & engine bay Neil.

Bet you can't wait to drive it.

 

That engine actualy drove nice even with the low comp and bigvalves, what spac is it going to run in the fiesta? If its not going on a big turbo i would maybe say change the exhaust cam as it was lumpy even with the cam timing having been adjusted.

Sticky - I am looking forward to see how it goes with the changes I have made was hoping to get it started by Tues night , but looks like im going to buy a new go kart as soon as i get off the rig so the car will have to wait

 

Neil is that a .63 housing on the GT??

 

When I talked to CR originaly to buy the turbo I asked for a direct bolt on style exhaust housing , and im sure they said the one they were going to use was a cosworth style but .72

 

looking good m8 the inlet has the boss welded on and ready for posting

 

Thanks Dave will get you to post it out on Tuesday that way I will be in to sign for it , will put it out to powdercoat this week.
