thanks ,its easy to live with it has all its trim and a stereo ect and i run soft springs on the coilovers when on the road too.
i used it ever day as my only car from central day last year to the donington track day on the 29th dec last year but with the head gasket letting go and the block needing a skim i was forced into buying a mk4 1.8 diesel fiesta as a cheap car just to get me to work and back till i sort out the fez.

50MPG and bombproof, but my god, they're slow. Must have been a shock

[crazycage]

bloody evo

it was proper flying ,i was running around 310-320hp on the day because of the damp track and it breezed past me but then again i was spinning the wheels most of the way down the pit straight

for the wife it was ,first time she drove it she came back and said theres somthing up with it she tried pulling out onto the main road and it went nowhere
i clocked it last week and i got 433 miles to a full tank

[davemartin]

just read the thread mate, a true credit to u, cant wait to see it run at some of the shows

[leighk2010]

just read thought this mate epic car credit to your self

[crazycage]

[GavStyli]

bout fudgekin time! get it done for the summer

bout fudgekin time! get it done for the summer

hoping to have it done in time for classic ford show
got a external wastegate to fit and also building a new inlet

[crazycage]

well the wastegate came today and so did the velocity stacks
also got the engine block and head back from the machine shop .all is well with it but it needed a new set of mains and big ends .

also doing a coil on plug conversion

[FRSJON]

looking good gary is the coil on plug set up a hard job (wiring?)

i dont know yet tbh, but i cant see it being a problem i made a blue peter style template lastnight to fit them into the cam cover and it looks factory taking the template to the machine shop today

[creator]

Looks awsome mate nice to see youve started work on it again

[heeman10]

You don't see enough Zetecs running COP, nice one

My Mk3 was brilliant in its original 1.8D guise, NEVER returned under 400 miles from a tankful, regardless of how it was driven. JUSSST used to make it to 100mph on the flat, after no more than a 30 second run-up from 70mph (no joke), but torque was good on it and made it equivalent in performance to a 1.3 petrol Fiesta of the same era! Practically a race car TBH

[crazycage]

a few more parts that i got back from the cnc shop.
coil on plug almost done





and the head plate for my new inlet plenum that i will be doing a batch of 6 too expencive to just get 1off's done i saved a few quid getting a billet for all 6.

i have had the ports in the plate put into it at the same angle as the port in the head with it being the 1st there will be minor changes to the plate but very little .
just waiting on the billet for the fuel rails now .

[Excursion]

The plate looks interesting mate - let me know how much you want for one of them as it may make it easier for me to fit the Pulsar inlet.

The COP I ordered from the states was £199 for essentially what you have there, only I assume yours cost a fraction of that! Didn't have the time to get stuff made

[jonyb4]

good stuff, loving the metal work

whats the COP set up originally from? or is it a kit made for the zetec?

your right about the COP'S not sure about a price on just the head plate tho as i didnt plan on selling them on there own

[crazycage]

it's a kit made for the zetec now mate
still working on it at the mo, but when done it will come with a plug and play harness ,ie plug into origonal loom

[Excursion]

Ahh OK, have you been doing some bench work with a new manifold? I know the taper is really important to power on the Zetec. I'm currently deciding whether to use one of Ian's inlets, but the £750 price tag puts me off. I'll be interested to see what you have - you may have a customer here!

ians inlet's are nice but when i asked about them they were 750 + 100 for the rail

the only tapper on the runners on my inlet my will be getting the runner from round to oval 40mm runners and velocity stacks and a twin plenum ,billet fuel rail and they will be a lot cheaper the than the area six one.

a few pic's of a cvh plenum i made the other month, the zetec one will prob be like this

[Fraggle]

cant believe i missed this thread...Fe**in Awesome bit kit

[jonyb4]

cor thats a well put together piece of kit

[crazycage]

re designed the engine mount and gave the bay a lick of fresh paint before re-fitting the engine

[creator]

Looks great mate loving the COP conversion

More buftyness going off in the bay looks awsome tho mate really does

strange i paid 750 for the inlet which came with the rail


you looking to prove your results with this new manifold???

what do you mean mate ? back to back on a dyno proof ?

[Excursion]

what do you mean mate ? back to back on a dyno proof ?

I think Rob is referring to a Flow bench mate.

[RS rob]

sorry i meant the flow bench as mark said above
you've done a few manifolds now,
just interested in what figures on the flow bench your newest manifold will make compared to your older one etc

[jonyb4]

that mount doesnt look like it stops much vibration

[RS rob]

well looking at the rest of the project jony,
this car is all about going like a clappers

so the hardcore mount looks right at home

[crazycage]

that mount doesnt look like it stops much vibration

it WONT vibrate mate .ive used the same void bush in loads of mtx gearbox mounts

[crazycage]

my old inlet was never put on the flow bench it was also never port matched just never got round to doing it

[crazycage]

made a start on the inlet today , got all four runners made and started to build the plenum
few pic's of my runners ....

[creator]

Nice one mate looks good as usual mate.

Ps you dont want any of them parts iv got for sale do you

[Excursion]

Looking good mate. For more equal cylinder filling the entry into the main plenum from the feed plenum should be on a taper – starting out wide at the TB end and narrowing towards no 4
