Thought I'd post some pics of a project I'm doing of a mk1 fiesta that my cousin bought as a rolling shell, it's a known car as it was the first to have a zetec fitted and now we have put in a 1.6l ecoboost from the new fiesta st 180, we have chucked on the new tt turbo and hope to be running 300+ hp on the new syvecs S8GDI engine management..
Just doing the wiring for the ecu at the moment and the car is going back to have the exhaust finished tomorrow for a couple of days... would love to have it running by April so it's full steam ahead..
Looks nicely done, I like the simple engine mounts, are the mounts totally bespoke or something that you have adapted? Should be a quick car with that in there.

There bespoke items bud, yes should be a hoot to drive especially with the modern traction control
I would doubt he is on the standard ecu as you would have to run the whole loom, dash clocks the lot?
And there are only a handful of ecu capable of running the Gasoline direct injection..
No mate, we was going to build a loom ourselves but we are now getting one done by sileck motorsport wiring... and it is going on a syvecs S8 GDI4 ucu.
I think it is going to stay mate yes, I really wasn't keen on it before but it's kinda grown on me and it's only there for a reason.. me and James was going to do a loom for it but now we are getting a loom made by sileck motorsport wiring as he has all the conecters in stock and has done a few of these before so already has drawings ready to go so it kinda makes sense 😀
Me and James will still do the bits inside the car that need changing/moving 👍
Spoke to Sbd at the autosport Thursday as I have done parts for Steve in the past
And he among others had 1.6 ecoboost engines on show
He has a Ecu and loom to plug and play which takes the engine
To 300hp/300lbft
It's not cheap tho
And jenvey do a nice inlet which was on the same engine
Which also allows you to fit 4 extra injectors nicely
As he said that the injectors are near there limit
I know some people have got more power
But a plug and play kit is good news
Yes I have seen that but after we had ordered our syvecs ecu so we are committed to going that route now, we was going to build our own loom in house but we have now ordered a full on motorsport loom from Sileck motorsport wiring so at least we are moving in the right direction, and thanks for the link 👍 at least all this will benefit others 😁
