Amazing fabrication work as usual gary,really intrested in seeing how the front ends going to look

[Excursion]

Very good job

[crazycage]

got two new front wings and a new front panel, front panel is spot welded on the wings are just sitting on at the mo as im waiting on a rivnut tool so i can bolt them on

also cut the old cvh engine mount bracket out of the shell ,i dont use it and it was in the way of aulternator that is now mounted on the rear of the engine

[Dave G fsi]

Good progress mate

[FRSJON]

great work mate

[jonyb4]

mind blowing job!

[crazycage]

been meaning to do this for the last two years
the standard cam belt tensioners on the blacktop are not very good and the little tab for the self tensioner is the worst part.
i have had one sheer cleen off and an other twist in the last two years

so i have made this manual tensioner and its all steel not like the standard plastic item

[SEG1]

nice work mate
looks like theres alot more space in the bay now

[jonyb4]

that will be a good piece of mind, its well known the belt tensioner is the blacktops main downfall

[crazycage]

not much of an update, got my rivnut tool so the front end is all bolted on , used some little m5 button head bolts

How much for another? Would need it by Wednesday tho!

[crazycage]

rhinopower , im having a batch made ,tensioner and the idler pulley , that one is only a prototype price tbc but should be around the same as the standard ones

i have a brand new ford tenioner if that helps you out in a rush

Could wait a bit longer, my standard one has rounded off on the Allen key hole so when I take the cambelt off to fit the vvt delete vernier adaptor I probably won't be able to retension it

[crazycage]

£450 with billet fuel rail and -6 or -8 fittings and all vacuum take off's ect

[FRSJON]

[Maxwell]

thats a fantastic price for that inlet!!!

would that suit a zetec turbo?? and what injectors does it suit? pico? bosch? and what is the throttle bodie being used on it?

ideas going about in my head now for my escort haha

havent done anything on my car for weeks been up the wall with inlets and exhaust manifolds for other people all finished for now tho so will get stuck back into it next week rad and intercooler is next up.

[crazycage]

Nice work gary as usual mate looks awsome really coming together now mate
How bigs that rad mate?

Pm on its way

[crazycage]

How bigs that rad mate?

Pm on its way

its on the small side but its the biggest i could fit in the space i want to put it in, but if its a problem i will double stack two cores back to back doubling its capacity core is 350x350x50mm so could end up with 305x350x100mm

[robp-tt]

its coming along well gary, isnt there any room to have the rad where it normaly goes and move every thing foward more and chop the bumper out?

[crazycage]

yes i have loads of room there but i didnt want to put it there. wanted to do somthing differernt from the norm.
plus moving it over will help with water temps and also act's as the rad wont be heating the intercooler and the intercooler wont be obstructing the rad plus it will counter balance having the oil tank for the dry sump in the other front corner

I think that'll be way too small mate. In terms of doubling up, the max efficiency is within the first 30mm and beyond that it falls off rapidly as the air looses speed and is heated by the fins. Can you get the same rad on the opposite side?

[FRSJON]

looking good and different and i didnt mean to freak you out when i saw you at the pod
