Lol
Owned.

[HCS PIMP]

egr / pulse air solnoid removed, head finished just need to get well
remove the old valve stem seals, fit the valves and bolt the head down
assemble the engine and get some time off

[HCS PIMP]

engine is assembled, spent the last 4 days in Fort william climbing. Climbed 2 Munros and really enjoyed myself although did manage to get an infected toe and 2 big blisters

car drove faultlessly in the freezing cold last night drove back down the motorway past glasgow and then on A66 past hadrians wall and then thru Darlington and down the A1 saw a 4 car pile up took 9 hours to drive back as I encountered Freezing fog, a Hare than ran at 20mph and everyones favourite black ice paired with mist

[HCS PIMP]

[Gmc]

wow, what offset are those?? they look far to wide to be on there, infact they look like they are sticking out from under the arches!

[Ratspeed]

Agreed, wheels look wrong offset. Whats going on with the glitter?

Wheel style aint too bad though.

[jonyb4]

im still wonder what was going on with the arches, wheels are a nice style but like the guys said, they stick out a fair bit, some XR skirts would even it out

[- Danny Boy -]

Not my cup of tea im afraid.

[HCS PIMP]

offset is 15 but i wanted a wider rack without spacers

[jonyb4]

15 is mental

[HCS PIMP]

after 3 half days the 2.1 is in and running and as usual an air leak ARGGGG
sounds like its the injector seal on number 4
so off to ford tomorrow in my car that runs like a V8 on scatter cams and try not to stall in lol
went for a quick spin its spins the wheels up to 3rd gear
lol I think i may need to learn to drive slowly
I cant wait to have the air flow meter in and the air leak solved

[HCS PIMP]

think the cars issues are solved removed the injector seals reordered them and refitting
after 2 days driving it seems to be improving i think the ecu needed to learn the new base parameters
beings its 100cc larger than the 2.0 its mapped for and also the facts its brand new lol
Its an animal I love it
going to clean it after cleaning my ingrown nail and then ill upload some new photos and maybe a video

[HCS PIMP]

enjoy

[jonyb4]

plenty of random pictures there,
that injector plate looks like a 1.6 item to me

what have you done to upgrade your brakes?
and whats the usual expected power of a relatively standard 2.1 bored zetec?

[HCS PIMP]

relatively standard it has a balanced crank and port and polished head, ported injector plate, induction mods, full magnex system, improved igntion, high compression and organic clutch
cheeky mare
has 260mm brakes if you remember back to my early thread posts and is a 1.6 plate smaller the inlet size the faster the air velocity entering the cylinders, thus more complete combustion and better economy my last 2.0 made 125 bhp at the flywheel and this is Alot taster
Id estimate at the mo 135bhp and when bedded in 140bhp is maybe 150bhp when mapped

[Ratspeed]

Man, you should work for Ford. They wouldnt have wasted all thier money on developing any other injector systems if they knew 1.6 item is that awesome.
All the money you could have saved them

[HCS PIMP]

most people building a 2.0 fiesta whats as a big a bhp figure as possible to try and emphasise the fact they have a small penis I am merely after torque and MPG
so I dont see the point in spending £75 on a Ho inlet when my last 2.0 ran fine on a 1.6 item
and tbh I have ported the sanwich plate so the airflow gains VS cost to buy isn't worth it
I aim to build the fiesta to have a comfortable cruising speed and when the need presents itself to get away from Nobish drivers in seat leon's
I'm never getting rear ended again and tbh I will be doing throttle bodies next year so agaian the outlay of a Ho inlet isnt really warented
I use the car everyday

[Ratspeed]

So you dont want big power yet youve got a tuned 2.1 and planning to run Throttle bodies?

[jonyb4]

mate i can actually prove the 1.8 130/2.0 sandwich plate increased torque (as well as some power)


and sorry if i offended you, i was just referring to a standard-ish 2.1 over a 2.0, simply to see the difference a rebore/oversize makes
im sure yours is running around 140 with the spec list

125 from a 2.0 isnt a particually good sign, i hope it wasnt tuned in anyway


anyway back to the injector sandwich plate, when i swapped from a 1.6 one to a 2.0/1.8 one the car pulled nicely, i could feel a stronger pull of torque (both whilst fitted with a H.O inlet and 2.0 TB

so i cant see why your banging on about daily driving, i drive the Si everyday have done for the past 2 years and its always been a comfortable happy drive (if you ignore rattles and squeeks from the interior)

ive never heard strangling the engine induction makes for a more comfortable drive

[jonyb4]

So you dont want big power yet youve got a tuned 2.1 and planning to run Throttle bodies?

haha


FYI thottle bodies are not a very good means to get comfort and relaxation, theyre louder, harsher and very expensive when compared to a standard injection system

surely you do the homework on this stuff?

[HCS PIMP]

throttle bodies when pair to a an enclosed induction system can still be relatively quiet especially if fitted with a sensible map
I have run a mini with hif 44 with ram stack and that was relatively quiet at cruising speed tbh

[jonyb4]

i like how you ignored the other comments

[HCS PIMP]

it was that or insult you but its to easy

[jonyb4]

you do deserve to return some

[HCS PIMP]

engine porblems cured small teething issue with finding a small oil leak after changing to 5 w 50 after the bed in period.
now purchased an oil pressure gauage so fit that next week and fit a new ns window motor then a full valet after sorting some roof rust
runs sweet now but I realy need to get so vibra tech gearbox mounts the amount of movement isnt great
also if my plan works next week will be able to budget for some mono tube coilovers and Yoko tyres for the front and put the a539 on the rear
then in 3 months ill get sport cat made and change the inlet for either escort gti jobby or possibly a custom inlet

You caused a leak because you ramped up your oil pressure by using oil that's too thick. The pump relief spring is set for 5w 30 oil.

Leave 50 weight for tractor engines and something like an old HCS engine. It will just harm engine efficiency.

[jonyb4]

id rather an S.O inlet to a GTI one

how many times have people on here told you, you always use the wrong oil

[HCS PIMP]

I've run 5 zetec engines on 5w50 and never had a problem with oil issues. the reason for the leak was due to the oil pressue switch being baxtered. I fitted an old oil pressues switch off an engine that had been stored for a year. It was an easy fix as my new gauage came with a electronic sensor. To be far this is the first engine I have rebuilt from scratch I have done 3 half engine builds but never an engine I hadn't know where the machine work was done. I am very happy with how it has gone so far.

Looking forward to when it has done 2k and then I can look at improving the inlet manifold and exhaust system.
I know most people will always go with 5w30 thats great. But untill you try something you shouldn't critise someone else for doing so.
I do respect you very highly excusion but watch this space my fiesta will be something special when its done.
May even be as special as the man who owns it

[jonyb4]

no doubt you built this engine up completely and hats off, you done good, something ive yet to accomplish, ive not long only just achieved a head rebuild

but stp using 5w50, its not meant to modern engines, thats for older more ruggid engines like OHV and the like

do you think the guidelines are wrong or something?

it will reduce your engine life, and on an engine that gets used hard it could even cause larger problems like blockages and staved area's

[HCS PIMP]

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... 65581#tab1

its designed for track day use and enthusiastic driving and with modern petrol and diesel engines

http://www.langtoninfo.co.uk/showitem.a ... 16&loc=GBP

comma make alll halfords oil but with my trade card cost £28 for 5 litres so meh

[HCS PIMP]

20w50 is meant for classic engines the reason being the first number is the thickness from cold
so long as an oil has the same starting thickness it being thicker at high only adds to the safty factor of the oil Ie at high revs (how I drive)
also it still comforms to ACEA A3 B3 API SL CF

A3/B3 Stable, stay-in-grade oil intended for use in high performance gasoline engines and car & light van diesel engines and/or for extended drain intervals where specified by the engine manufacturer, and/or for year-round use of low viscosity oils, and/or for severe operating conditions as defined by the engine manufacturer

CF means compatable for use in vehicles with a cat

American petrolium institute grading Sl means safe for engines before 2005

[jonyb4]

mate your bull s**t yourself

dont take a word halford says with courage as they dont know s**t, trust me i worked for them!


how many high performance high power zetecs are there on this club alone? ask them whos using this 5w50 oil, asnwer will be none

yet you think its suited to your last 1.6 standard engine

[Excursion]

I know most people will always go with 5w30 thats great. But untill you try something you shouldn't critise someone else for doing so.
I do respect you very highly excusion but watch this space my fiesta will be something special when its done.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising you or saying there's something wrong with your car I'm just advising against using a particular oil.

[dontpannic]

Right, can I just point out, although the magic oil you linked to is suitable for 'most petrol or diesel engines', 5w30 is Ford specific. The guidelines originally stated part synthetic but Ford have recently revised that and said that fully synthetic is fine.

5w30 is the correct grade of oil for your engine, any different and it won't do it any good.

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165581
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-754-castrol ... -ford.aspx

When I was mystery shopping Ford service departments, on behalf of Ford, all over the country a few years ago most service advisors were totally clueless about what the correct oil was to use. This was despite the fact that 5W 30 oil has been mandatory to use for most Ford cars built from 8/98 onwards.

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... ullService

How many more do you want? If you use Halfords website to choose your car from a list (I'm guessing a Mondeo 2l engine), then the ONLY recommended oils are 5w30...!

As said, not criticising the build or the car, but please use the correct oil. Its not down to personal choice.
