Looks good
Nice to see someone fitting the 2wd 4-pots for a change, despite the fact they're more difficult to do. Loving it

Re: SEG’S 2.1 ZETEC TURBO FRST update 4/6/09
UPDATE 4/6/09
I haven’t updated in a couple of months so here is what I have been up to.
I wired in the omex and sorted out all the little things in the engine bay like the breather system, also got a set of water and boost hoses for Paul at roose motorsport, a very helpful man indeed.


Then I fitted the intercooler and rad, ready for it to be fired up


Fired it up and took it to optimal running temp (between the O and R) everything was fine and it was ready for mapping

I notice the manifold getting quite hot at idle.heres the video

After that I took it up to TOTD for the mapping .Where a tracking issue stopped it from being mapped on the day, as the car was all over the place on the rollers


so Chris put a quick map on it ,so I could get it down the road to kwik fit .I got it tracked with some problems
but it was too late to map it that day .
So Chris kindly let me leave it at his place until the next mapping day (or 'till he can squeeze me in)
He also told me to wrap my ex manifold and told me a couple of horror stories of manifold catching a-light on the dyno
So I when up there the next day to wrap it up.

All I’m waiting for now is a mapping slot hopefully it will be soon.
Cheers for reading.

Gearbox sounds the nuts in the video mate. what did you have to do to the escort mk5 servo to get it to fit???
Have you painted the avo springs green or are they higher poundage ones if so what poundage??
