Coming on well Wayne

Also needs the spacer plate to route the bypassed air for the iscv if you go that route.

It will bolt on fine if you get the right version - some of the Mondeo bodies have the air bypass built in to the TB.

Isnt that 'Ollie's' Mk5 escort? He is using the white spacer plate too. Why would ford develop a white plate to use, if they already had a casting that was correct for the frs?

Because the FRS manifold is the early manifold which won't fit a Fiesta Bay without modification - it is different to the later two-piece manifold which will fit a Fiesta bay. The TB design changed twice over the years.

I was told the 2 piece plastic inlet manifolds aren't that great at holding boost? Or is this more rumours more than truth ? If I'm honest I haven't looked into it much so this is great info for me as I just got told to use a blacktop inlet

I originally started with the later manifold which still didn't line up with the tb correctly, and then got an earlier manifold

Well, the idea I had paid off. I went for some tighter but chunkier seals and it's cured! I even managed to seal them with the pintle caps fitted too

OEM Ford seals are 7.52 x 3.53 x 14.8mm (ID x CS x OD)
New better ones are 7.0 x 4.0 x 15.2

The difference...



Completed injector:



IT'S ALIVE!

Issues remaining...
- Turbo oil return is leaking pretty badly from the joint at the turbo itself
- Still doesn't idle. I've put a pen top in the old breather intake vac-leak lol.
- Rear brakes are largely ineffective
- ECU needs configuring to a safe driving map
- MOT

Once those are sorted, you might be seeing it at Ford Fair

Oh, the chatter is epic, here's a sample

(clunk at the start = I caught the exhaust)

[Dave5300]

chatter

[Gus!!]

Brilliant!! see you at ford fair then??

[jayrs]

I see the vid on FB mate, glad to see is up and running now, and them few probs left to sort are nothing major, with this, Jess car and some others, I'm a bit gutted I won't be at ford fair this year

[jonyb4]

now that sounds really quite something!

im excited to see this at FF now


(wheres nick going on about no tax, test and mot?! )


great job man something to be really proud of here, on the clock now! whens the painting stage likely to happen, you think?

[- Danny Boy -]

That does sound pretty awesome

[Tweek]

Struggling to find an MOT at the moment. The contact I was given no longer works there

[Ratspeed]

Road trip then

[Tweek]

Probably wouldn't go down well driving across the country for a test

[jonyb4]

what is it stopping you? cat?

[Excursion]

Excellent news

[GRP16V]

Superb job,

i like

[knuckles]

well done wayne !

[Smo]

That's fantastic, Wayne! That chatter is a little bit mad!

[Tweek]

Got it idling today albeit hunting so took it to the end of the estate and back, thought I may as well record a video. Jess recorded it and soiled herself when I booted it so that's why it stops and restarts in the middle

Enjoy




Random geeky video after setting up the wideband properly:

[Gus!!]

That sounds loud as fook!! I like

[jonyb4]

does sound fudgekin immense thou

[Tweek]

Thought I'd leave an update saying the car now has an MOT and road tax. I've given it a blast down the road (under 4k) and it goes like fudgekin stink, making 16psi boost. Now I need to calm it down and run it in properly before I blow it up.

Oh, the radiator started leaking though *sigh* More stuff to do!

Unless something bad happens I'll see you guys on Sunday

[Max M4X WW]

I'm jealous of your 16psi, but I'm equally paranoid about my map so have only used 3/4 throttle or less really at 10psi!

[Tweek]

It's probably a bad thing I even made 16psi on the adaptive mapping! Gonna drive it properly and steadily now before it all goes wrong.

[FRSJON]

yours makes more boost than mine mapped

[Tweek]

Let's hope it makes it

[Ratspeed]

spotted the obligatory spare oil in the boot! My fiesta doesn't go anywhere without it!

[Tweek]

Made it there and back without issues. Car is so much fun to drive and the noise is beyond EPIC. Full of win!

[jayrs]

[Ratspeed]

[johnson91]

Seen this today and it looks nice in the flesh think the yellow hoses set it off

[hb69]

Good to hear it was a successful journey. Look forward to seeing it at Combe

[knuckles]

As already said today - very impressed that you shoe horned that in whilst maintaining looks of the car.
Start saving for a paint job now

[Rs Adz]

just re read this from the start top work carnt wait to see it at the shows nxt year
