Nice one mayert. Why not change the bottom end while your there? Pick up a siezed/snapped cam belt, 2 litre bottom end?

[SimonT]

you never know whats lying around mate

So Si....... WHERES the "guide" ?

[SimonT]

sunday dude!!

Ok heres a quick guide:

1) get all the parts needed on the shopping list

2) take it to someone who knows what there doing

3) give em a few quid and drive home!!

Seriously though, pics and info up on sunday!

DOH! I didnt read the Sunday bit!

[TJ]

Sunday is a day of rest and for church!


Take your engine to church for the vicar to deal and heal, and get some rest in the back row!

Tis monday......... We're waiting!

what are the finish codes for the "Manifold plugs"

[SimonT]

right ok everyone start lobbing them tomatos!

I forgot to take my bloody camera I couldnt beleive it!!

Im really really sorry about that.

But the car flies now -unfortunatly its taken a bit of low down driveabillity but really storms - and i mean storms along at 4,000+rpm

This could be down to a crap ecu (ill put a fiver on it) but ill get this checked out at Sanspeed when i go get it rolling roaded.

also

LEAVE MORE THAN A WEEKEND TO DO IT (especially if your changing a clutch and wheel baring)

due to the lack of time and the need to be home before midnight on sunday small problems like a squeaky altenator belt and the speedo not working went un-noticed

Sorry I cant remember the finnis but they are fom a 1997 escort if i remember right

But all in all a good cheap conversion!

Ill be trying a different ECU and superchip at somepoint to see if i can get back the lost low down poke

cheers and sorry

can this sort of thing be done for the 1600 si zetec engine???

[SimonT]

can this sort of thing be done for the 1600 si zetec engine???

yep!

[RS rob]

whats on the shopping list if you do this to a 1.6 si then? rs1800 parts again?
what kinda power gains you looking at??

[MikeyXR2i]

it would probably still be down on power as the 16v si engine has small valves than to the 1.8 and 2.0.

[M Brian]
