Good work there Dave. Just out of interest how much did that set you back? Also you still going to run the vaux injectors?

I was planning on doing my transplant this week coming but were to busy at work so will have to wait until the following week now.

Keep us posted,

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

not sure which to use it depends what i find out about these injectors as the vauxhall ones are good for around 200-220 bhp as there the same as beige inj according to that inj chart looked on ebay and these flow 220 cc

got them off a mate thats not using them as were always borrowing parts off each others cars and swaping stuff over! lol (cheers richie_baby )

but i think theres one on ebay ported with the plate for zetec for 60 quid

[richie baby]

it may as be my car as its got all my spares on , well in boot ha ha.
i might be able to get another one if anyone wants one,
just let dave know as im not on here as much as him.

[scouse-sambo]

There high ohms injectors too so you can use them with fiesta managment, im planning on using them to get mine started and possibly upgrade at a later date, looking good though mate,

How are you going to sort the throttle body out? ive been looking at mine and don't know wether to get a plate welded straight onto the end of the plenum and have it the same place as crazycage and cowie's.

[dangerousdave]

yeah ill prob do that mate chop it off and move it! think i will tap the fuel rail and put a push fit hose on that thenso i can go to my fse and also going to make a plate to weld to my inlet like yours so i can run the frst iscv


i am going to knock a plate up first! might just spot it and drill and tap it on the manual as i need to move the car and this is all thats slowing me down now! bloody cnc is still got loadsa work on! lol

[jonyb4]

looking good mate, i reckon you bin the vauxhall injectors, it taints the car

[dangerousdave]

but rover ones ............ i have never seen a good rover or been in one which hasnt been scrapped yet! lol they are red top injectors so its high end vauxhall! think the inlet is all i want from it!..... will see which inj are best soon!

[jonyb4]

[dangerousdave]

well im getting back into the swing of things today and thought f**k it ill do it all on the manual bridgeport!! hehehe so today i spent ages setting up the machine to do a little job.........





and with the iscv not having a flat back on it i knocked up a spacer too



then i started the inlet adaptor plate



so tomorrow ill start by machining the corners off so the plate will fit the head the machining the 4 slots and 12 drilled and tapped holes to fit the rover inlet too

then ill have to see what mods are needed to fit the inlet !! lol


hopefully be testing it by this weekend or next depending if i gotta chop off the tb and get another pc welded on!!

looks good mate ,nice work with plate, mine cost me 105 notes . ill have a set of rover injectors going spare 380cc as i need bigger ones

[dangerousdave]

looks good mate ,nice work with plate, mine cost me 105 notes . ill have a set of rover injectors going spare 380cc as i need bigger ones

if you still have them when i have some cash i would prob have them off you but as you can tell its a budget build as im out of work at the min lol, out of curiosity tho are you injectors the same number as mine or not? cheers dude

[dangerousdave]

oh yeah another thing mate has your plate got a vent machined round it? i was thinking of putting one on mine like the zetecs and cvh inlets have???

[cowie20]

no vent on my plate mate, i got it from ferriday engineering. not a clue what the numbers are. id have to remove a injector to find out. mite have to take cylinder 4 one out anyway so will check

[dangerousdave]

if you see the numbers its a bonus mate if not its no problem! nice one for the info on the plate tho mate! im just not sure if it needs one now or not! lol

[richie baby]

looking good dave crack on now ur on a roll

[dangerousdave]

yup till i get stuck if/when it fouls my master cylinder! lol......... chop the master cylinder off and buy a anchor! or maybe ill chop the inlet down!!

[cowie20]

cant beat a anchor out the window mate

[dangerousdave]

or a few carryer bags and press the boot pop!!!! llama!!! i really should get out more!

[dangerousdave]

well been busy today





going to have to machine a tad off in the morning to clear enginemount! lol but other than that its perfect i blended the ports with the airtool a little so should flow nicely

couple of questions for the lads who have used this inlet before

well did you drill and tap this bit of plastic for the air temp sensor or bung it and use somewhere else......... here.......



and tho other thing is on the rover fuel rail there is a sensor in the middle any ideas what for? ( forgot it so no picture! lol )

and finaly where should i cut the inlet? i want it after the take off but not sure if thers room or if the bend in the inlet will restrict flow??



so do i cut at the red or green line?

cheers dave

[mrorange2]

Looking good mate

[dangerousdave]

cheers mate! going to have to make a cut tomorrow.... not to impressed doing it lol need to make a backplate for tb too and a mount for my fpr too but progress none the less mate

[cowie20]

my inlet has that sensor in rail, aint got anything plugged in to it. the air temp sensor i also left as i have gotech which has its one sensor on a wire that is just slid into a boost pipe. i would cut it on red line mate

top work on plate tho mate, you could knock more up and make a little bit of cash on side

[dangerousdave]

might have to be the red line then mate didnt wanna have to f**k baout making little pissy vac takeoffs tho lol! ....

[cowie20]

yeah true, you jsut going to screw some take offs in or weld some on?

[Ratspeed]

Awesome work as usual buddy! the machining work looks well good.

[dangerousdave]

yeah true, you jsut going to screw some take offs in or weld some on?

i havent got access to an ac-dc tig welder unfortunatly so ill be getting the end welded on unless the wall is thick enough to drill and tap.... id rather keep the ones that are on it to be fair or try and find some screw in ones if possibvle, anyone know where sell them? or ill end up making some!

Awesome work as usual buddy! the machining work looks well good.

cheers buddy hope it works this time! lol

[richie baby]

i want one please too

[scouse-sambo]

If you go for the red line mate just make sure you do it far enough back because ive looked at mine and if its not far enough back a silicone elbow coming off the TB will foul the brake servo and just watch you dont go to far back aswell because then the fuel rail is close to the throttle body.

Think im going to chop mine back to the red line this weekend just gotta find somebody who can weld a plate on for me

Good progress though , If I had access to one of those cutting machines id be making all kinds of shiite just for the sake of it

[jonyb4]

wow that adapter plate is awsome, top notch work man, i know who to come to if i need something made up now

nah seriosuly impressive mate

little bity of a noobish question, but ive never seen my answer

what do you do about the compression ratio when turbo'ing the zetec, how do you lower it? i dont see everyone replacing there pistons so i figured it aint an assessity

[dangerousdave]

if you look over the thead jony you will see im using 2 focus rs headgaskes and a 2mm decompression plate! not the best way but be good enough to get me started till next year

i have done the chopping today! and made a plate to weld on etc also ajusted the adaptor plate so it clears the cam sensor this time! lol will have a look at bolting it up tomorrow and seeing what i can get up to! lol pics will be later when cameras charged! lol

[jonyb4]

ooh good

so your effectively spacing the head from the pistons? making the compression ratio larger?

[dangerousdave]

yeah mate from what i was told should be 8.5.0 ish and standard is about 10.0.0 iirc but cant be sure but the pistons are still weak and now i have 2 headgaskets that could pop! lol but i dont want huge amounts of boost just now was justr easyer to make this inlet work now and 1 less thing to do in the future

[Ruishy1]

looking really dude, coming along nicely

[scouse-sambo]

Any pics mate?

[dangerousdave]

sorry buddy will take them tomorrow! will offer up in the bay to see how much room i have too and take a pic
