Slowly but surely things were getting there. and it was there. New idle control valve. Clutch pedal switch that will replace the banjo bolt that is current on the clutch master cylinder. Then came for first start and i couldnt get a rpm readout. I did a load of fault finding on...

Coil Pack Sub Loom Just waiting on the coil pack mounting plate to be laser cut. That was most of the engine bay wiring complete. It was then a lot of labelling and cutting the old ecu off. I wanted to tidy up my switch wiring while it was all apart. I have had a few occasion of...

I have done a lot of work in recent months. Getting the new engine running has been quite a bit of agg. The engine has a 60-2 trigger wheel mounted to the aux belt pulley they has a lot of magnets set in plastic that is an interference fit with the crank, which is where all my issue has come...

What happened to your wing?

2.0 Zetec is a lot heavier engine. Wouldnt make for good weight balance.

The rad is now in and plumbed in. im really happy with how it came out.

After a looooooooooooooong a 2 week wait for Pace Products to make the small radiator core for the charge cooler. I then had a another 4 weeks to wait for the main rad core to be made. 5 weeks later I called them to find out where the core is and how long it will take. The guy said there had...

What bulkhead connector is that?

The last few bits for the new engine are almost there now. All of the electrical changes needed are now done. I contacted to pace to find out where the core for my new rad is as it still needs to have the end cans fab'd once i get the cores. It is being leaked checked today and then posted...

Whilst Preping the old engine to come out i took off the main fuel line that feeds the fuel pump and found that it had kinked and split i dont think it was leaking but would explain when i started to wind up the boost it would misfire most likely because the hose wouldnt let the pump pull enough...

I havent updated the thread for sometime but i have been busy on the car. While i am waiting for the second radiator core to turn up so i can have the rads made i got bought and hatched a plan for a new engine. as you do. This one is a 1.6 not a 1.7. The engine that is in the bay at the...

Finally got my wheels finished. They have come up quite well. I have also finished up making the new boost pipes. they just need me to brush them up. Tidied up the label for all the switches on the dashboard. Before After I kinda just doing faffy bits while waiting for the...

Trying to push on with getting the fiesta ready for trackdays when the weather improves. The main thing i want to get done is a better radiator and charge cooler rad set up. At the moment i have a Saxo VTS rad and i dont like it. It is really hard to bleed and the header tank mounted on the...

Na not really. Td04 came on boost around 2.3k but would fade long before 7k rev limit and would make the power i want but it would be going be what it supposed to do and although it would make the numbers its wouldnt be as quick and would put more stain on the motor for the same power. The...

so now it faces forward to give a good routing for the air filter hose. Next up was the steering wheel that was close to the drivers window that to me. There has been a lot in between all that as but as a quick summary that covers most of it. Nobody is really interested in wiring...
