I couldn't keep the secret any longer, plus I'm gonna have to ask one or two questions in public on here no duobt, so the cat's out of the bag! This picture pretty much sums up what I plan to achieve before FITP 2005

[heeman10]

Oh, plus I got to see my car again for the first time since early September. Was embarassingly pleasing to see it, I must say! I want it back oh so badly!!!

[Tomdom]

old news but good stuff mate

best of luck getting it ready for fitp

[heeman10]

Cheers Tom People were gradually finding out one by one, either through my lack of secret-leeping skills or by my questions about Zetec Turbo stuff!

[Richard_xr2i1800]

oh very nice mate i would love one of them, cant wait to see it at fitp.

Richard

[MotorcyclesFish]

Surely "Zetec Turbodiesel"?

[ianFRST]

dont ya just love it when a plan comes together

paint that blue engine block red and its sorted.

good luck with it all james

[heeman10]

I think converting the car from diesel to Petrol's enough for now thanks Grant....converting a petrol to run off diesel in a few years' time perhaps

[Brycey]

Duratorq? TDCi?

Im disappointed...

[Rhinopower]

good to finally see some piccies after knowing about it for the last month, cant wait for you to start getting it in there!

[dannyboy]

Ive known for ages but didn't tell a soul. all the best with the conversion

[tompeteRS]

I've known for ages and very jealous I am to

[heeman10]

Brycey - I would've loved to experiment more, but I miss driving it so much, and I'm starting to save for a newer car so couldn't spend thousands on a newer engine and fiddling to get it to work. I also wanted bigger power, and petrol sounds so much better than diesel. It may have been the easy way out, but I wanted to achieve my goal before it was too late. 200bhp Fiesta was my goal, hence all the stuff you see in the picture above!

1.8 Zetec Turbo
Full Mongoose system with 3.5 inch inwardly rolled backbox
AP Racing 4 paddle clutch
Mocal 13 row oil cooler
ST150 brakes
CTS Stage 1 or 2 (can't remember!) gearbox
The steering wheel makes it faster too

Like I say, everyone was starting to find out so thought I might as well tell everyone and put pics up

[Stoned]

I think you need a bigger intercooler mate

[rich_frst]

looks good mate... how long has it taken you to build it to this stage....

i hope to have my engine all built up, in and mapped by next summer to, watch this space...

[Mikee_RS]

lookin good mate



how long u had this planned for??
no-one tell me anything

[heeman10]

Stoned - OIL cooler, not INTERcooler You Sunny boys know nothing!

Rich - I didn't build it. That was my plan, but this came up for sale just as I began to source parts, and I collected it yesterday

[Brycey]

Set excursion on a Duratorq conversion

Goodluck with it all mate

[Stoned]

Perhaps, but I'll still be faster

[heeman10]

Sadly, that's true Chris!

Brycey - I think Excursion has plenty on his plate just now, but feel free to try yourself Cheers for the luck tho

[andyhardy]

Errr - how can you not tell if it's a stage 1 or stage 2 box?

Surely you should have checked before buying? If it's a stage 2 it'll have a Quaife ATB diff in it btw - the stage 1 is the same except for an uprated plate LSD from an ERST.

Cheers,

Andy

[heeman10]

andy - In that case it's probably a Stage 1. I couldn't remember which stage took it to what spec, but it has been rebuilt and has the larger main bearing....all in cost around £1,000 from Bernie when the original owner got it, so I thought Stage 2....

[andyhardy]

If it cost a grand then it'll be stage 2 as that's how much mine cost from CTS.

Good stuff btw - just you better hope it's not ready before mine! (although it probably will be).

Cheers,

Andy

[heeman10]

No, it won't be. I'll have to do everything bar fitting the engine on my own (may even have to do that alone!!) and it's gonna be COLD!!! It won't beat yours Andy, can guarantee it!

[SimonT]

good stuff heman!

Is that mark stewarts old engine then?

[heeman10]

Certainly is

[RS_Rawli]

good lad

[ainsley_brader]

The gearbox has the rst diff not a quaiffe.

I've known about this a few weeks now but nobody told me it was a secret!

Engine looks sweet though, good luck with it mate!

[heeman10]

Ains - It's a secret!

For those who don't know, Ainsley bought a black FRST to do up, and has just been surveying the site without really posting. He did me the enormous favour of collecting the gearbox from down in Lincolnshire and bringing it allllllll the way up to Preston for me Had never met him, just shows there are plenty of good people out there. Not everyone's like andyhardy!

[mike_wall15]

The steering wheel and brake calipers are an excellent add on mate, the clutch looks good too, aswell as that long pipe thing......whats that red thing though?














Well done mate, nice to see things work out!

[andyhardy]

wtf are you trying to say he-behatch?

I used to go out of my way for other people but ended up getting used too often, so now have an arsehole as tight as an otter's!

[Max M4X WW]

Nice, Where'd the engine come from though? Looks like Excursion's but i thought mike had it

[Syorme]

All the best fella, just one question where the hell do you get the money together for something this big. i finding it hard to save for my new shocks .
