I'm working on it but my illness and other thing have always got in the way

by **edders** on Sat May 13, 2006 10:29 pm

does the gearbox have custom ratios
if it does itll obviously affect accel and top speed so to some it does matter if you have a cts stage 2 box

No, i asked for the S2 ratios+final drive as they are ok for my needs.
The Orion box has a different final drive to the S2 and that didn't help its performance

Just fitted a twin master cylinder pedal box like the one Dave Moore from PF mag has on is XR2 No pics of that yet, also sold the chrome cam cover and will be power coating the strut brace the same colour as the new cam cover.

My new inlet set up and a 2nd bank of injectors set at the mouth of the trumpet so 8 altogether

My new Heater motor setup as the orion one if twice the size and the trumpets hit it so a Mk2 fiesta one is used.

And the best to last my new wheels, New set of 6 spoke MO's in 16in

thanks mate and no problem

by **chris-fiesta** on Tue May 16, 2006 11:20 am

sweet!

saw the pedal box in PF too, does look like a neat bit of kit!! get the new wheels on

by **freak power** on Tue May 16, 2006 6:26 pm

They don't do a pedal box for the Escort/Orion so i made the Fiesta one fit by needs of a hybrid bracket Fiesta/Orion.

Thanks mate thats cheered me up looks like i got a bargain.

Its been nice reading through this post and seeing someone building a car properly keep up the good work and i will continue to follow your progress

by **freak power** on Wed May 17, 2006 9:49 pm

What manifold have you got?

by **paradox** on Wed May 17, 2006 10:10 pm

That one i dont have the brand name of the company that made it but i know it came of a focus zetec and its made from inconel instead of stainless steel

by **freak power** on Wed May 17, 2006 10:16 pm

Thats not the same as mine at all as my primarys are a lot longer ( the colector is at the same level as the lower part of the sump) and the bore is bigger too.

by **BUTRE** on Thu May 18, 2006 2:59 am

freak power, congratiolations on your engine development. Not many tunners can get this far on How-to proper tune a NA.

This is good stuff!

by **freak power** on Thu May 18, 2006 5:44 pm

I think with a bit more work a 300bhp could be made

freak power :They don't do a pedal box for the Escort/Orion so i made the Fiesta one fit by needs of a hybrid bracket Fiesta/Orion.

excellent work there mate!! just wondering if you have any pics of the braket that you had to knock up as im interested in doing this to mine? dont suppose you have had a chance to test it yet?

Sorry mate i dont have a picture of it or teated it yet

by **harris-hpe** on Thu May 18, 2006 9:11 pm

Ahhh, so would you know how much I can get away with skimming my head then freak power

its a standard 2.0L but the history of the head is unknown so im going to get it checked out and skimmed at the same time so may as well get it skimmed as much as possable so any ideas???

Harris

by **freak power** on Thu May 18, 2006 9:36 pm

Don't skim it that much, just do it to clean the face then fit a 2.0 Focus head gasket ( fin 1105772 ) as its thinner than and multi layer steel.

If you skim the head alot then it would be best to CC the head and work out the compresion ratio as i wouldn't go any higher than 11:1 as you will melt a piston unless you swap to forged.

by **harris-hpe** on Thu May 18, 2006 11:48 pm

Sweet, been trying to get hold of that information for a while and no one has seemed to know

cheerz mate

I've been there, done that with N/A Zetecs so if your after more info on your zetec i'm a PM away

by **freak power** on Sat May 20, 2006 3:37 pm

Still needs a few more tweaks.

by **VUK** on Sat May 20, 2006 3:52 pm

this is NUTS

by **James2k** on Sat May 20, 2006 3:55 pm

WTF

by **freak power** on Sat May 20, 2006 4:04 pm

A lot of people get the wrong idea about 8 injectors on a N/A engine.

Take a Paul Johnsons Zetec Turbo
The first set of injectors will run until the boost comes in and then the 2nd bank of injectors will come in and both will run at a high duty cycle

Mine engine N/A zetec
The first inner set of injectors will help with cold start and low revs, the 2nd set will come in at lets say 4k rpms and the 1st set will fade out so all 8 will run about 40% of there duty cycle.

by **Brammer** on Sun May 21, 2006 1:43 am

Excellent work, 300brake n/a in a orion, what does yours handle the power like as my orion turbo 210bhp weren't too clever on the road.

by **freak power** on Sun May 21, 2006 2:25 am

Mine wont produce the same amount of torque as a turbo engine so it should be nice to drive

Here is a pic of the remote pedal box

I welded a brace to my strut brace to stop flex

by **si 16valver** on Tue May 30, 2006 8:57 pm

lovely always liked the look of orions everyone i know thinks im an idiot and say why dont you like bmw and mercedes but if they went in that jesus christ thats sweet

by **freak power** on Wed May 31, 2006 5:16 pm

Thanks mate

by **freak power** on Sat Jun 24, 2006 5:26 pm

Fitted the new wheels today after getting the tyres yesterday, also was playing with the coilovers to get the right hight and well happy with the look of the car now, wasn't to sure at first with the wheel but dam it does make the car look hard.
