Yeah mate it's a 19mm hose fitting

 

looking good dean

 

Looks great! Nice car.

 

pic of the car whilst it's been at Ajcs

 

Looks the business on the wheels.

 

It has covered about 1/2 a mile whilst here. Being pushed in & out the garage!!

Daz has wrote a list up of what he needs so I assume he'll be getting some stuff together to make a start.

 

This mk2 fiesta looks mint.

 

needs a big blower is all
looking well though, won't be long and it'll be sporting it's new power plant etc.

 

It got pulled apart ages ago!

 

She's a dream to push Andy lol

 

Picked up the gearbox now with long ratios and new bearings and seals



And colour coded the back of the van

 

whats the spec of the new engine mate

 

Bout time you spilled the beans?

 

2.1 silvertop
JE pistons 8.2:1 with valve cut outs
Eagle rods arp bolts
Auto sprint large valve kit
Cat cams valve springs
Area six exhaust cam
Jenvey inlet 2wd Cosworth throttle body
1.8 sump
Ford focus multilayer head gasket
Ford head bolts

Just got to find a turbo for it now

How's your build doing mate

 

Other bits,

Omex 600 management custom loom with air injectors ect

Also having the car fully re wired by Daz c

Gearbox has longer ratios and the car is going to rev to 7250rpn now
Six paddle clutch
Bosch 10 bar rally spec fuel pump with swirl pot and lift pump

 

the extra rev's will help you a lot on the 1/4 mate .

spec sounds nice , just need the right turbo for it .

my car is getting there slowly , engine is off being built now so should be out next year

 

What compression ratio you gone for mate? And what have you done to your head what figures you expecting from it?

 

Gtx3071 will make you smile me thinks

 

I found my 71 was a bit punchy tbh after fealing a mates gt30.76 its far more suted to a 2.0 zetec

 

How do you mean punchy mate?
Lee was saying the other day how he thought the gtx3071 was one of the best suited turbo,s for the zetec in his opinion.

 

Do use your van to tow your fiesta? Is it OK to do this?

I would like to use my Escort RS van to tow with but not sure it would be legal?

 

I have towed my fiesta to Santa pod twice there are rules but most police arnt aware of them the car your towing has to be taxed mot'd and insured and also broken down lol

 

That's with an A frame

 

Arh I have 14ft trailer lol

Also have a dolly though, but don't like using the dolly.

 

You might get away with it. But what your pulling will massively outweigh the van so if the coppers didn't stop you. Then you'll end up with the tail wagging the dog.

 

Ill get a tow bar on me 5 series insted lol

 

Great read!

 

clarkes wasn't a gtx, i used the same turbo holding 2BAR and it did come in quite harsh after the little lag.

 

mint project mate love the mk2's

 

Perfect for the job

 

ive got a brand new cnc ported head with my old springs. still in talks the the builder over valve and cam spec .

bottom end is built and balanced ,dont know what the cr is as i havent measured it yet but it will be in the 8's .

should see 420 -440hp max from my turbo but when it pops i want a gtx30

 

Well went to see the car today to drop some parts off for Daz c so he could crack on with the wiring loom and new Feed cables from the battery

Also got my reg on my van and the bumpers painted

Heres a few pics of the car and some of the work Raj at Autoflock has done for me his work is second to none and has helped me out a fair bit with the cars dash and carbon bits as well as my new engine build hers a few pics of his work also

 

looks mint mate work is second to none

 

Great work

Raj is the man for flocking
he'll be doing my bits when I'm ready

 

Also selling my turbo and manifold in the rs turbo parts forasle

 

what manifold you going for mate?

 

My plan was to buy a turbo get everything in the car ready then come see my mate Gary with the car for him to work his magic!

 

Looking great Deano!!

Gary, do you think deans turbo he has for sale will be any good for my mates fiesta mk1? he is all set for buying richie's cvh but like you said richie is keeping the injectors and turbo.

Sorry for the hijack dean

 

i hear gary is pretty good at building manifolds lol

raj ill give you a ring mate
