cheers mate, sooner its done i can have my fun in it as once baby is here i wont get much time to do anything with it, as ill come back from offshore and have weeks with baby and giving my misses a rest then away again.

the youngest years of parent hood are the best so enjoy them...

[jonyb4]

lovely car mate, grats on the baby

the bay is stunning with the ZT in it

cheers mate, its all a bit rough just now. but once i know its running and every thing is spot on ill be cleaning everything up and painting some bits. also looking for a st170 box to go in. welding up center section today so can get rest of exhaust on. time to start it up.

[Dave G fsi]

Cars looking lovely mate, nice one!

[cowie20]

ITS ALIVE - well just! got exhaust fitted today, air filter then primed the turbo and charged battery. car fired up in seconds then died....waited a minute and started again and ran with throttle. was sounding a bit rough and lumpy and died when throttle let off then wouldnt start again.

theres a weird noise when trying to start....its like pressurized air hissing out of somewhere but only does it once then engine stops turning over. sounds like a small dumpvalve. not sure where it comes from.

the pipe to map sensor, does that have to come off the take off on the throttle body ( am running fiesta turbo one) ?

also ive got fuel and ignition pots connected to ecu and there not set right which simon from sitech is helping me get right so can get car to his for setup. also the fuel in car is 8 months old, reckon his could be a cause for running rough?

some pics from today.





This is project manager







looks really tight but its angle ive taken photo



this one isnt the angle it is just really tight

[dangerousdave]

map sensor nomally comes of the side neer your brake servo and the tb normally goest to the fpr

all looks good mate bet you well pleased

[cowie20]

yeah bit time please it fired, now its just a case of fine tuning to get it running spot on, but i might not bother trying and just take it to tuner and let him do.

[cowie20]

just whipped the plugs out to have a look at them and there is dry black sooty stuff on them, so i think the fueling is to rich and that 8 month old fuel is doing no favours.

what you think?

[jayrs]

dont reckon the fuel is effecting it, 8 months is nothing, you could slap a gallon of fresh in if you want but dont think it will make much odds tbh mate, but sounds like deffo over fueling, be alrtight once set up.

this noise, have you checked all vac pipes are connected and no ports are open (spare ones etc)

[cowie20]

yeah i think so, am going to have to give all hoses a going over. not sure if ill keep messing about trying to get it running right. going to take car on trailer to sitech and leave it with him.

[Ruishy1]

nice going mate, bet your a happy camper !

[cowie20]

update - after a phone call to sitech i got some advice on where to look for problem. first thing he said was right, i had mixed up the coil pack wiring. swapped wires over and starts prefect except its only running on 3 cylinders, cylinder 4 isnt sparking, getting a new lead tonight then should all be good

[FRSJON]

nice one mate car looks awesome

[dangerousdave]

glad you got it starting better mate, hopefully just need a new lead will sort it out! dont supose you got a pic of your pipes have you so i can see what arrangement you have for the intercooler radiator do you mate? im looking for ideas on mine now as i gotta start again! lol

cheers buddy

[Dave G fsi]

Nice one mate, this car is absolutely awesome!

[cowie20]

cheers for comments guys,

dave ill get some pictures for you tomorrow. if your after some boost pipe, 2" stuff ive got some nice bits of off cut about half meter long, yours for price of postage mate. also got silcone 2" joiners if needed.

[dangerousdave]

very kind of you mate maywell take you up on thats offer i got a full samco t2 boost hoses and cvh water hoses a year and half ago and they done 9 miles in total before i took the cvh out after the mot lol haha i need to see if any of its useable! i got the st st pipe too so may use that if i can but soon as the inlets done and on the motor ill know which way too take it

yeah pics would be great mate. thanks again ,
dave

[andymcd]

looks mint mate one of my fav frst's going

[cowie20]

dave heres some pics of water and boost pipes. the bottom water hose is a fiesta one but i split it up and changed it a bit. top one is 2 samco hoses with a joiner. boost pipe at bottom is two 90 bends with joiner and top one is 2 90 bends with joiner then up to body with another 90. most of hoses were from when i had cvh but the top water hose was one i had from my mk1 fiesta.

some pics as it was such nice day , also got a new lead and its now running on all 4 cylinders. just need to fine tune the fuel pot in and get the ignition right. its not perfect jsut now but its 99% there , throttle body gasket has failed so got that off now cleaning it up and making new gasket.

also painted rocker cover and boost pipe matt black.

[cowie20]

the connector blocks will be removed and solder wires. there only there as i had to change them to see if it was the problem

[andymcd]

what engine mount are you using mate

[cowie20]

cvh one, modded to fit onto black top, wont be a permanent thing as ill be doing 6 speed box in months to come and will be doing a new engine mount.

[dangerousdave]

[cowie20]
