its not a perfect seal i think mate, exhaust gas gets passed the smallest of gap. i just shortend my screamer pipe today and its sounding a bit better on idle.

yeah screamer noise is mad on full boost, it sounded ace when i was hitting 23 psi , then found out from garret that the turbo should only ever take 22psi max! 1psi extra wont kill it, well wont do it much favours.

car will be getting new engine in august, focus rs power

[cowie20]

its been a long time since i updated anything on my car. i sold off the cvh i had as really wanted zetec turbo. got a blacktop zetec with focus rs forged piston/rods, multi layer head gasket, rover inlet made by crazycage, rover 380cc injectors ( getting some 470cc ones once get some cash) T34 turbo, fiesta turbo throttle body and gotech pro x management.

Car is now ready to be fired up, sent ecu to sitech racing to get base map put on. so just little bits now left to do, bleed oil to turbo, connect a coolent hose then fit new drop links and clean up and bleed brakes.

Also fitted original fiesta turbo seats as want inside looking standard again. also fitted some bonnet catches as old bonnet catch was in the way so it got cut off.

[jayrs]

looking good mate just need to prop that front bumper up a bit more to meet the lights

[cowie20]

yeah the cooler is sitting down one side aswell. theres a lot of little bits that need doing but i just want to hear it running. also need to sort the passenger door, got a new door as old one was bent from c*nts bending it to get in. think i bent the top hinge bit on a pillar trying to get old pin out of door.

[jayrs]

there pretty solid on the piller mate, cant see one bending with trying to get pin out

[MattPym]

Awww man that thing looks so fudgekin cool! I want

[andymcd]

looks mint mate what shocks springs you got on there?

[black2]

Quality chap. Just read most of the thread good to see you stuck with it after the theiving sh!t heads came along.

Zetec turbos are so cool, I cant wait to fit mine next week. How did you go about mounting the blacktop, as am i correct in thinking the cvh engine mount wont fit it like it does on the silver top??

Should make some very good power on that as well.

Gareth.

[cowie20]

cheers for all comments.

andy - the suspension is AVO coilovers. there rather stiff just now and having full poly bush kit aswell the car is solid. also got rose jointed bottom arms with adjustable ball joints. needed with the cossy wheels

jay - yeah thats what i thought as there welded all around, but i ended up cutting door off as the pin was stuck solid...it took some smashing with a mallet to remove pin...ended up having to cut the pin in half while still in hinge to get the bits out.

mr black - cheers for comments. yeah little sh!ts breaking in really annoyed me, police annoyed me even more but not giving to sh!ts! .
i used the cvh mount but had to weld on some new metal to get holes to line up. also have to shave a bit down. it was a good few months ago i did it...should of took some pictures....the belt tensioner is pretty close to the engine mount bracket on wing tho. going to have to shave the bracket back a little. ill be happy with 300bhp but gearbox will crap itself. with some new injectors and arp rod bolts and a better exhaust manifold am wanting between 300 -350 but wait and see what simon at sitech can do. i cant wait!

oh and a 6 speed box will be going in once i save some pennies.

[jayrs]

jesus, thats not good.
ive had some pins fcuk me about, in fact when the pin seized on my rs and tore the hindge off thw door, we smacked the pin out, welded the hidge back on door to find it 1/4 inch out, had to move the hinges on the door, and when i fitted a new door to drivers side, i had to move the hindge on that door too, so maybe you have beat it about too much

[crazycage]

looks nice mate ill post a pic of my throttle bracket in a bit on my thread

[cowie20]

its out by about 5mm maybe. i think i need to knock the hinge from the bottom. as we were knocking pin down the way. am just happy that the door shuts as old bent one didnt shut at the top so would let water in. it wasnt alot of water and i put a seat cover on seat which caught all the water.

one part of car some people might be able to help with... as i have removed the old management the gotech does not control the fuel pump. ive looked at wiring drawings for the plug that connects car loom to ecu loom. it shows ignition relay and fuel pump relay wires. now i wired up relay wire to a switch so i could just turn pump on when i was ready to go. but what seems to happen is i put ignition on then flick switch, pump comes on but when you turn ignition off and switch on the pump seems to keep running until i pull negative lead off battery

[cowie20]

cool mate, i cut mine down a bit and re welded it. it fits now but sits right on the silicon hose. i need a new throttle cable as i cut mine by mistake.

[black2]

When i fitted my zetec into my mk2 fiesta I had to make provision for a fuel pump as it never ran efi. My pump is wired in to a switch on the dash, I connected the relay into an ignition live, so it can only be operated when the key is on position 2 is that how yours is? sounds like you may have gone into a perm live?

Gareth.

[stevo™]

looks good mate you got the same bonnet pins as me lol but mine lock

[scouse-sambo]

Are you using a focus manifold?

Whats it like for fitment of turbo did you have any issues fitting the turbo? (apart from welding a t3 flange on)

[cowie20]

yeah focus manifold t3 flange welded on, turbo fits no probs, knocked up a downpipe and oil return but this is only a temp thing. want it running first.

i think thats what ive done is connect into a perm live. will need to take off the tape and trace some wires

[Ram]

That bay just shouts big power. looking good mate

[cowie20]

cheers mate, am hoping for big power. you still got the fiesta?

[Ram]

Yes mate but its going up for sale this week. Just got some vibratechnics engine mounts to fit then the adverts going up Had it near 4years so time to move on sadly. Look forward to seeing yours at the shows, you gonna have it on the strip for central?

[cowie20]

not sure when car will be fully on the road mate as found out ill be a dad this year so all pennies are being put away and ill be doing as much offshore work before its due so can get some time off. car is being finished on cash i make while at home on odd jobs. with mot,tax then a full setup i need a bit of cash.

4 years with a fiesta = lots of money spent but good times i bet. you going to get another one at some point

[Ram]

Congrats on the baba mate Yeh these toys ent cheap!
