Bladed ARB looks some bit of kit, looks like the end of the tca is too close to the disc or do you think altering the pin will sort that?

iansoutham

What are you using to undo the locking ring on the fuel tank sender if you do not mind me asking?

trying to do it in situ up there must be a pain with the right tooling.

bluntys1rsturbo

Only a minor setback pal these things can be expected when doing custom stuff like this. You guys will sort it in no time.

And absolutely loving them vids car is immense especially on the Mexican roads 👌

Just bloody awesome fella it even looks oe where you have them.

And I can confirm this car is absolutely mental after been taken out in it last weekend. I can't wait go out when it's been mapped.

It's on full boost at 2600 right to the limiter at min and has stu at MSD said the turbos on holiday , as it's still on 9psi WG pressure , with a better spark table and some proper control via my MAC boost controller we might see 2300 full boost to limiter, car will really wake up , its fast and responsive now , but it's only going to get better we hope .

bluntys1rsturbo

its absolutely unreal at how responsive it is when you consider the size of the turbo etc, it drives better than a little t2 equipped rs turbo, the power for the boost its running just proves how well everything is matched up and iv honestly never been in a mk4 escort that handles like this and thats without the front strut brace and bladed wrc anti roll bar fitted.

theres no doubt its going to be on anothet level again once its mapped up and boost sorted etc, and thats saying something as its one awesome piece of kit now

Good progress Matt. Gus would be proud

Thanks Will mate ..Aye I'm sure he would .

bluntys1rsturbo

Hope all goes well with mapping at msd today mate. Fingers crossed it goes as smoothly as it possibly can.

I'm itching to know what it made

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

It did 303bhp 350nm torque , but had to be wound back due to fuel restriction at boost target , so new lines and check the fittings or maybe the fiesta turbo fuel rail , but even now with just under 300 of proper boost control and spark table it absolutely flies .

smiley

Awesome mate I know what that kindve power in an s2 feels like just watch those bends lol

bluntys1rsturbo

and if you dont mind me adding it made that power at just 20psi boost which i think is hugely impressive for a 1.6 cvh not just that but the spread of power/response from low down also.

as said yesterday sounds like an easy little niggle to sort im sure it will be done in due course

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Think its 24psi mate the 303 pull ,still impressive I'd so. I'll bang the dyno sheets up later for the variable boost positions i have , car is proper transformed , I've had plenty of fast cars and your 250 mark in these little Rs turbos is mental .

I've already got a fiesta turbo EFI rail on mate

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Aye its Savage, going to tweak the TC BBG to help us use this power through the bends better .

bluntys1rsturbo

ah sorry mate i thought you had told me 20psi yesterday, and yeah still hugely impressive as people can run that much boost and not even hit 250 alot of the time.

i can certainly confirm my ride shotgun at around 250 was something else looking forward to the next one

iv edited my post re fuel rail id read it wrong

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

I've got 4 graphs mate I'm not sure now , been a long day but I've got problems to fix so I'm happy as it is , I'll what's app you the graphs when I get 5

bluntys1rsturbo

Too right mate you would be mad if you weren't happy as it is tbf haha

Roger that 👌

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Mate , totally different animal to when I took you out at WG pressure other week , it's really woken up , intact people telling me 300 is daft are really telling the truth , scary quick car .with a lot less.

bluntys1rsturbo

I can't wait for my ride shotgun middle of November. 🤟

It was some machine when you took me out as well so I can only imagine what the proper boost control and increase in power has done

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Mark kindly read the data from yesterday , and temps etc where good also



"At full boost on 1.84bar you had an EGT of 500 degC, air inlet temp of 22 deg C, engine stayed cool on 86 deg C"

bluntys1rsturbo

Now that's what we want to hear mate as I know it was one of your big concerns when I was with you the other weekend. So everything is working very well even at such boost levels and some hard pulls. Told ya nothing to worry about 🤣

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Mate you did , but the older I've got the more I shit myself over dyno time 😂 I need a less stressful hobbie

bluntys1rsturbo

Haha don't worry mate the rolls will be reversed when we're at the Dyno with mine in the future 🤣🤣

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Don't worry I'll keep the comedy flowing that day 😂

bluntys1rsturbo

posted the graphs for matt on his request, they are in no particular order but i think you can get the idea.

and no doubt at all about providing the comedy fella

Thanks mate , can't post imgur off my phone .

And of course it's the drill , comedy gold

Thanks Grant mate , its is a lot more brutal than I thought it would be .

Well done Matt for sticking with the build after all the bad luck you had .I was out in my mates s2 which is zvh and 300bhp.on first stage boost at 250 bhp it was mental and it would take a serious cossie to get away from it.
So 300 is mental

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Thanks mate and totally agree , they don't half out gun things on the road it's quite scary,, and I had to finish this I couldn't let it beat me ,

Do you know anyone with a v box to do some pulls ?

Right last week we had a trip over to preston , to see Mark knight for tuning the ALS in and launch control set to +5psi and my 3pot cal switch set up , then yesterday was a trip to Motorsport Developments for map tweak and the variable boost set up . the day went well in the respect that the engine behaved really well and came away with only a few dots of coolant on the dyno , however we did get to an ECU limp / cut at a certain boost , which Stu finally found a fault on my fuel set up ( fuel restricted ) car pulled a 303bhp but due to the fuel issue it was took back to 280bhp on cal 3, 242bhp on cal 2 and 224bhp cal 1. I left MSD a very happy chap and a nice little list of a few jobs I need to do .

jobs

Get my oil dash light working consistent.
wire my rev counter so it works properly.
baffles in rocker cover for breather set up.
find fault with fuel system .

Standard lines to bottom of bulkhead then it goes in -6 braided to a escort fuel filter then to a fiesta turbo fuel rail , on deka 630cc injectors the it's a turbo smart FPR800 fuel reg , -6 down to the bottom of the bulkhead onto the standard lines and back to the tank mate .
