ouch!! id wear a hat!!!

[jayrs]

lol, i wear it with pride

[muz]

block in and quiet close to chasis

You got loads of room there. Now THIS is tight!

[dangerousdave]

fuckinghell dude! you putting the cvh bottom pully on now then?? how come yours sits that far over? have you made a dif top mount hole?

it isnt going to fit with all that filler in there now mate!?

[muz]

Simple case of one of the nuts on the engine mount adjustable part was duff so worked loose under pressure. I'm gunna have another 1-2mm skimmed off just to be sure.

[dangerousdave]

ill have to get a pic of the oilfilter.... the longer cvh one didnt fit and the short one is close!! i may go for a new top mount insert....maybe a poly one if you can get them????

[muz]

Renult 5 Turbo filter is nice and stubby mate, it's about 2 inches high. If not you can get a 90 degree oil filer elbow off a Sierra which sends the filter off to the side.

[dangerousdave]

r5 got the same thread then? might look for a sierra one at the scrappys!!

Yep R5 is the same thread its what im running on my 2.0l in a mk2 fiesta, which IIRC has even less space than the mk3. You've got it easy,lol

i had that problem!
i used i short oil filter when i fitted my zt, then when i did my first oil change it took me a good hour to unscrew it
whats the 90 degree oil filter elbow off a Sierra look like?any one got a picture? what sierra is it off , it sounds like a good idea.

[dangerousdave]

im going to be looking for one too mate

might have to drop my top mount down a little to get mine off!!

ok let me know where you get yours from and if they have two ill take it.

illl have a look around too.

[dangerousdave]

yeah mate, ill keep my eyes pealed,

[black2]

Dave,

Ive ben doing a little bit on my ZT today and I have some news. If you want to retain the T2 set up just use the mondeo dip stick (the one that comes up the middle). It fits in ok, you just need to bend the very bottom of it very very slightly and its fine. The slight bend has no effect on the dipstick it self as it still slides in and out ok.

Regards the bottom hose from the water pump I have found a suitable pipe that will do the trick, I will just need to put a joiner in to link it with the zetec bottom hose, again its tight but will work.

Just though I would let you know,

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

nice one mate ill be there in the morning putting the new tensioner on finish timing and putting inlet on etc, i will look into waterpipes but seeing as i modded the head i have less room near the pump than yourself as you have a adaptor plate dont you? and i dont really wanna chop up my samcos but might have too yet!! lol, maybe some cheep rs1800 hoses are reqired

ill try and update with pics tomorrow

[dangerousdave]

small update, last week i made up a couple of hoses will see how good they are soon i may need to turn a bit of a hose joiner up properly yet buy we will see, ill get some pics this weekend as i forgot last weekend!

today the postman came with my parts (thanks RosscoPeeco) i now have a t3 i need to recon, manafold and actuator-( looks almost new just need to tig the stud back on!)

here they are...





picture above is ment to show that it has 02 -310 which i assume means its a -31 actuator....just a guess tho if anyone knows let me know

and last the turbo, it has no in and out play on the shaft which i belive means the thrust bearing is ok but has side to side movement around 2mm?? dont know whether to bang it on and see if it makes/holds boost??




hopefully a better update to come sunday night

[Ratspeed]

Progress is progress matey. Its coming together nicely

[dangerousdave]

yeah mate thats the way im looking at it being constantly skint doesent help but it will run very soon!!

[black2]

Good stuff - wont be long till shes up and running.

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

well it started off ok then went a bit s**t to be honest, well i dummy fitted the t3 and it was tight so had to take my bumper and catch off to put the rad back in and to my suprise there was pretty much no rot behind it at all just a tiny bit of suface rust maybe even dirty water......





still not taking the kit off tho.....



i now need another inlet cam!! i tryed to rush it and do it without a pully locking tool and useed the cam locking tool instead and look what i did...TW@T !!!.......



so can anyone tell me if it was the 1.8 inlet or exhaust cam that was ment to be an upgrade...??? or anyone have a 2l cam for sale cheap??


cheers,dave

[dangerousdave]

tiny update before i forget...

had the stud welded back on today!



see thats it

cheers, dave

[dangerousdave]

well i would have lots of nice pretty pictures if i remembered the battery for the camera. (yes i took the camera tho!! )

well the engine is all timed up now and the turbo is offered up i think it will need new journal bearings as it has excesive up down play and no in and out play but i new this before i bought it and intend on getting it rebuilt anyway, but when its primed with oil i will know more!!

so all thats left now is for me to

make up some water hoses
get an inlet gasket
figure out what wires go where on the mondeo alternator!
source a t3 oil feed pipe

then when i hear it started up i will be upgrading the fuel pump and brakes before anything else!!

**if anyone can help with the above parts or queries i have let me know!! **

cheers dave

[AW3K]

here ia r5 filter on a zetec,



the only problem is that the oil pressure will increase , it kept pushing up the dip stick untill i chnaged it tot a KA filter

Andy

[dangerousdave]

are you sure thats not down to poor breathing mate or maybe as you say its kinda restrictive? i was only going to use it temporary as i will get a mocal filter relocating plate when i have a few quid, but that may still need to be machined down as there 60 mm ish long (10-15mm longer than a r5 one)....?? cheers for the pic and the info tho mate, much appreciated

[black2]

I a run r5 filter on my 2.0l zetec and have no problems with pressure etc

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

i wouldnt of thought it would make a diffrence like i said thats prob down to a poor fitting dip stick or a very bad breating engine as with cvh`s that blow the oil cap off.......??

[Ruishy1]

the play on the turbo might be ok mate, get it on and boosting before you rebuild

[dangerousdave]

the play on the turbo might be ok mate, get it on and boosting before you rebuild

thats the plan buddy! if its boosting ill leave it, maybe ok when it has oil presure in the turbo!!

PICS coming along niceley tho

[dangerousdave]

well collecting a few bits ready for the weekend

halfords R5 oil filter £7.50



rung ford for the inlet gasket who wanted 18quid so told em to keep it and got one for £4.50 from the local motorfactors



gotta make some spaces up for the FSE fpr this week along with a few alloy hose joiners to make the water pipes fit together, hope it works as i started cutting the samcos up now....




more pictures when its all together sunday!!

*****altho i am getting desprate for a t3 oil feed pipe as that will one of the only things holding me from starting it up, please if any one has one for sale let me know cheers *******

[black2]

Getting close now.

Ive been thinking though - the standard zetec coupled with the original zetec ecu ie DESK has a multi plug on the car loom for a cam senser which is located just below the breather outlet on the cam cover. Now when running the zetec on FRST management and subsequent loom what happens to this sensor? as there is no provission for this on a FRST loom.

Ive been looking at ZT's running OFAB or OFAC ie Heemans engine and the is clearly no plug on this sensor, so I guess we just dont use it?

Just wondered if you knew anything about this?

Gareth.

[dangerousdave]

yeah its unused mate, im unsure what it does now on your standard 2L? what does it sense other than the notch on the inlet cam turning? you could prob machine the notch on the cam so you could run cossie management....

but im just leaving the sensor in and not using it for anything untill i go for an aftermarket ecu!

also theres an extra outlet on the thermostat housing too which im just going to put a pc of pipe on with the coolant temp sensor jubileed into the end for now! if i need to make a proper alloy bung with a thread in i will do but if i dont need to its even easyer!!

should have a better update on sunday if i had a t3 oil feed pipe i could turn it over and maybe start it but i can wait a week or two now!!


so how far you got now buddy? made any progress?

[jonyb4]

like this car mate, engines coming getting together well

[dangerousdave]

like this car mate, engines coming getting together well

cheers buddy, its getting there!

well did a bit of turning at my old mans workplace today and made some hose joiners from alloy for my water pipes and fuel presure regulator





this bit fits into a piece of rs1800 pipe then joins to my samcos (i hope it works now i have cut them!! )



fits like this....



also while i was at the workshop i ''borrowed'' some studding to put my inlet manafold on with to save me pissing about with both pieces and 2 gaskets and bolts!! lol



well more updates sunday i hope!!
