not going to answer that lol

just take my word for it, its quick not bad for 105ps, but i understand these 1800s are nice and torquey (not the place)

[Trobez]

should be obvious, thiocker wire for higher ampage, the middle one

one on the lft is a light illumination wire, it should only work when the side lights are on

ha kk cheers m8, just thought i'd check as i dnt really wna go rushing in, as most times i f**k my car up , and overall how much do you think uve spent on your car (without the engine conversion lol) as if its not too much, i might be doing something similiar as yours look schweeet

[jonyb4]

without conversion, its getting close to £1500, but its had alot of repairs and service parts on top of mods,
the engine, brakes and exhaust on top has set it to nearing £2000

[Trobez]

damn i never knew it was that much mate, makes me respect your hard work even more lol

[jonyb4]

lol thanks, what did you think it was?

[Trobez]

i was thinking around a couple hundred lol, but then again i didnt really think about like the servicing parts and that, i was just thinking about the mods nd paint

[jonyb4]

well ive had it well over a year now, and theres plenty you dont see on the surface

[~nomad~]

If the whole car owes you 2k, I think thats good going tbh. Good toy for 2k.

[Pumatt]

Hey Jon. Finally got them pics uploaded, so heres some of yours.
I got some more on my photobucket if you want them mate.

[FiestaBen]

Nice photos but I think this one ....



would look better with either the puma the other way round or jons car the other way round

[Pumatt]

yeah thats what i was thinking... did a few photos later on with them facing each other. might go re do that one lol

[jonyb4]

lol nice pics matt, btw we have the garage over the week end for the timing belt, my dads gonna let us use it and take the capri out

If the whole car owes you 2k, I think thats good going tbh. Good toy for 2k.

couldnt agree more, just need some RS18 parts and im sorted

[Pumatt]

ive bought all the bits to do my timing belt now. just need to get them in the post. we need more pics and maybe videos lol. and when we do the cambelt on the 1.7 we will have to make a guide for other people as there isnt really a good guide.

[jonyb4]

hell yea

god i love the posture of my car in your sig, its liek a sillouet of it, but not 100% shadowed

[Pumatt]

id like to try some rolling shots of the cars. we'll have to go and take some
interesting pics.

[jonyb4]

YES! i really want some rolling shots lo, down the motorway or something xD

awsome idea mate, we gotta do it

[- Danny Boy -]

Car looks sweet now! I bet it goes well too Congrats

[jonyb4]

cheers danny glover

[HCS PIMP]

did u use a new loom on the deep, desk or dewy ecu or did u masacre the endura loom
ive already got a complete si loom
just easier if i can retain the endura loom also wheres the ecu hidding

[jonyb4]

its a 1.8 so no deep desk or dewy, im using the mondeo 1.8 BLOB ecu as it has internal edis

im not even sure you can use the Si silvertop loom for the blacktop

umm no i didnt cut up the endura loom, i tapped into certain bits like the lambda live etc also the fuel pump relay was cut off for the orignal 1.3 ecu, and rerouted to the 1.8 one, all thats done in the aux fuse box

if your serious about doing it , you brst take a long hard read through my thread about the wiring

and the second mondeo ecu is temp positioned beside the battery bubble wrapped and in a box, i need to put it in a metal or plastic case and mount it to the chassis/wing

[HCS PIMP]

ive done the conversion before if on the easier fiesta si. so im not a complete noob also ive worked with car electrics for some time
lol

[jonyb4]

oh my apologies to you

this has completely different engine loom, and completely different engine mounts, i dont think your taking it as seriosuly as you should

the si is a straight swap compared

[Pumatt]

lol the conversion wasnt a walk in the park was it

[jonyb4]

lol not quiet

[- Danny Boy -]

lol not quiet

how loud was it then?

[Ratspeed]

lol not quiet

how loud was it then?

[jonyb4]

it roars like a gammon slipper

[jonyb4]

yep, still got it not sure if i wanna sell it lol, might be keeping it as a spare car, back up for my family or my grampa, you never know...
anyway, fitted mk4 rear turret/boot covers, fit liek a glove and look smart, much better than looking at welds


compared to mine that was behind me at the time


underside



and what was going on topside


wiring diagram RAWR!




so now i have a working radiator fan

[jonyb4]

well today me and matt thought we'd paint our cam covers/engine covers

i choose hammerite red (BIG mistake to brush this on, it weas very thick and left streaks)
and matt choose british racing green

i also done my dip sticker too, the top yellow part is now red


CAMS!


matt cleaning his cover









and on




some bad news, i tested the tension on the cam belt while it was showing, and its very loose, i could actually slide the belt side to side on the cam pully so gonna have tio tighten it tomorrow

[moondustka]

Nice thread, Car's come a long way!

And done cheaply too! My Ka owes me £10k (including everything I've spent on it, not just conversion) and about to owe me at least £12k!

Well done on the conversion anyhow

[jonyb4]

cheers man appreciate it

[HCS PIMP]

johnny i may have found the inlet manifold to run twin webber i might not have the fun of all the wiring loom

[FiestaBen]

Jon seriously mate, what the hell did you draw a dinosaur for?

RAWR!

[jonyb4]

well this is my day to day car, i need it to be reliable, so id be happier to go through the effort and headaches of wiring the injection in, you will still need to wirin in the ECU and sensor lives, also the radiator fan, as i did above and rev and temp gauges, so your only really saving on about 2-3 wires lol


lol i didnt draw the dinosaur you can see, mines hidden by the pen as its discraceful haha, my friends drew that, her drawsings alot better than mine haha


slight update ont he timing belt, from less than 10 minutes running over last night and this morning to travel round to my lane and street, the timing belt has actually slipped along the cam pullies half a cam pully revelusion after i marked it last night

and due to me not having a CLUE about timing and the like, and not wanting to f**k up my just finished conversion, im taking it up to my locat greasemonkey to sort it, retimed and tightened up, i still dont think the belt needs doing, will see what he recommends


something might be coming of the green mk3 i have, an offers come up that includes a part ex with a mk4 diesel

i wanna take a closer look at it but seems we might go for it as scrap value could make the difference, ill keep you updated

will be sad to see it go

[jonyb4]

Oh and after last nights epic failure, im now in need of a new cam cover lol
