damn its been a while since i looked at this thread

looks like its all lots of fun mate, im envious of the other shell your now working on mate.. pump the Bic™ full of rust protector to keep her where she is (although you proberly know this)

so did you thread the ISCV ports on the manifold to fit hose takeoffs for the xr2i iscv?

nice thread man, all the best with it

[xrt-mart]

I haven't got the take of for the iscv on there yet but that is next on the list

I will most definitely be pump it full of wax oil after it has been sprayed

[xrt-mart]

Got to fit the long awaited console Just need to relocate the radio to the console now and then I can have the gauges in the dash



I'm not changing the door cards until I have had it sprayed

All I need now is some 88 spec red dotted cloth to recover the door cards

[JayC]

and it has... 3 PEDALS!

great work mate just go to the scrappy and find a g red 3i i think, and slash the panels off the rear bench.. should be able to get a long enought strip to do the cards.

i made a raven gear gaiter from my old manual window door cards in my si i like your attention to detail

[xrt-mart]

Yes it has 3 pedals now I swapped them over when I had the engine out.

I will have to keep an eye out for some rear seats cheers

[jayrs]

im sure theres a 3i in my local scrappy, i may behtre in the week getting a rad for my dad so ill have a look

[xrt-mart]

haha nice one Jay

Finally got around to getting the M10*1.5 threaded bar and munson rings and managed to get them fitted with no trouble at all









I am waiting for a iscv blanking plate to arrive from Shaun (chopper) and I am going to attempt to fit my own 15mm outlet at the back of the manifold for the remote iscv. Will let you know how it goes

mart

[jayrs]

alright mate, the car down scrappy doesnt have the dark grey with red bits in the seats, its like the xr2i type of stuff on the seats so not much good for ya is it.

the remote ISCV your fitting, you using the old type of the newer one, I.E the one you took off on a remote housing?

only ask as im sure i have a remote housing about but tis for the 4 bolt ISCV not the 3 bolt like yours

[xrt-mart]

I have the remote piece and a 4 bolt iscv thanks.

I am going to mount it on the bulkhead somewhere and use the port form the cross over pipe and take one form the back of the manifold and blank the 16v EFI 3 bolt mounting off.

[jayrs]

no worries mate

[xrt-mart]

Managed to sort out the iscv take off









I just got a straight compression fitting coupler from B&Q then drilled the hole in the back of the manifold to 19mm then tapped it out to 1/2inch bsp. Will put some ptf tape in there to seal it and thats it should work fine just need the blanking plate now...

[jayrs]

cool.
you could make a blanking plate out a bit of sheet steel mate

[xrt-mart]

Got this picture off chopper last night. Looks like a proper job



At least the manifold will be 100% complete now.

[jayrs]

how much one of them costing ya?

[xrt-mart]

The plate tennner posted

[jayrs]

thats not too bad tbh, ok i would make my own as i got machiens etc but to make 1 and sell it for a tenner i wouldnt make fock all

Bit of a parts update.

Got my self a management package off FRSJON. It is a set originaly from Ian Howell spec'd for a 2.1ZVH but after speaking with Ian he says I can use it for my Zetec turbo with 14psi boost to achieve the BHP I'm looking for

It is a set of Webber injectors, Escort Cosworth 2.5 bar map sensor and Ahmed Bayjoo chip.

Quality project this,

Keep up the good work. The shell looks really tidy as well.

Gareth.

[xrt-mart]

Thanks mate

[niracka]

hey man looks liek this project is really coming on. I'm really confuised about the "iscv" could someone explain to me what this is and what it does if its not too much trouble please as i'v not a clue lol

ollie

[xrt-mart]

ISCV mean's Idle Speed Control Valve.

The valve is located between the front and back of the throttle plate and it controls a set amount of air to the back side of the throttle valve ( the plenum ) and helps maintain a steady idle speed. It is also used by the engine control unit for rising the idle speed when on cold start.

Hope this helps

[niracka]

lol yea i know what that is i feel dumb now

cheers man

mart

are you sure thats an AB chip, looks exactly like one that nomad had before, and caused him a LOT of grief when it came to mapping

[JayC]

well done mate.. still lovin this project your doing it well mate

but i do wish youde hurry up and finnish it so i can get on with drooling i do have a bit of a soft spot for mk2's

[xrt-mart]

The chips that Ian Howell sells from Ahmed Bayjoo are reprogrammed Powerchip units I think ( bloody hope so )

I can only go as fast as money will let me unfortunately but hopefully I will be able to sort it out this coming year after Christmas

After much arsing around I decided that now I had the management the turbo wasn't big enough for the BHP I wanted so I have now purchased a nice 2wd Cossie turbo





Also here is a pic of the 3 inch down pipe I have for the turbo






Then in anticipation of sending the engine to Ian Howell I thought I would clean up some of the parts ready to take.














All I need to do now is get the engine back out of the car to strip. 1st problem is the car is in a position I cant work on still and 2nd after speaking with Ian I have to wait until march before he has a space available.

[xrt-mart]

A bit of an update. Got things moving a little mostly due to Chris (slammedorion) so big thanks to you mate for the loan of space, tools and time

First off Got a 2.5" Magnex stainless just need a smaller tailpipe as the 4"tip will look stupid.



I also had my spare xr2 drums machined down to fit over some sierra cossy solid rear discs so that I can test fit the brackets that I have being made up at the moment



Next up was this ...



One ERST manifold with zetec flange on. Saves drilling the head and makes it easier to replace the head if needed

I then took the engine out of the car and stripped the 2.0ltr parts off it. Bolted up the rest of the 1.8 and turbo gear to make me feel better and check they fit











removed the rear end underneath parts axle, panard rod etc.. and gave it a good clean up ready for paint.







Have since removed the fuel tank too

Next up cleaning and painting parts. Stripped the axle down, blasted it and sanded it, coated it with no1 rust treatment then hammerite smooth black. Same with the panard rod and rear anti bar brackets.
Bought a almost new ARB off MK so thats ready to go on and also some new ARB brackets.
Ordered some deflex bushes for the rear and painted up the koni adjustables as they where looking a little tired.


















Then gave the rear underneath a lick of paint ...







It was at this point I built it up to take to Chris's for the grinding and welding needed These are the first parts put back on. No doubt these will need to be repainted again








Mart

[FRSJON]

all looking great... cant wait to see it finished...

[jayrs]

looking good mate

[xrt-mart]

Thanks lads

Heres the pics from my friend Chris's house. Not many as we where a bit busy. Basically we cut out the small amount of rot on the rear arches and welded in fresh metal. Cut back all 4 arches so theres no rubbing and removed the side strips then welded up the holes that where left. The passenger door is being replaced so no need to remove that strip

[black2]

Looking really good now. Doing a really good job of the underside as well. About a year & a half ago i painted up my rear axle & trailing arms but the problem is mines a daily driver so those items are allways dirty!

Your giving me insperation to get it on the ramps and clean it all off.

Gareth.

[xrt-mart]

Glad its some inspiration

I am slowly hacking away at the jobs that need doing. One day it will be finished

[xrt-mart]

Ok guys not been on here for yonks..... I didn't realise I hadn't updated my thread on here.

So for anyone who is interested lol. I painted the interior



Got a rear disc bracket made up for sierra rear calipers. Fiesta centre sell a kit but its £250 these cost me a favour from my ex bro inlaw



Cleaned up the underside







Injection tank on



Painted and pipes on.



Managed to get some of the suspension on at the front.

Fitted new wheel bearing and ball joint. Put on the koni shocker and lower arm all polly bushed.

The calliper is Granada cossie which I've opened up the hub mount holes to 12mm and think I'll just run it RS2000 disc for now. Just need to buy the disc's and track-rod end to finish it off...









Engine plans changed to a 2ltr blacktop with FRS internals. Block and pistons all new... Drilled out the block













and then on to head drilling (big thanks to jonboy for the manifold )....

[xrt-mart]

Cleaned up the block and honed the bores



Installed the oil spray jets and bearings



Fitted the crank



Assembled the new pistons on to the rods



Installed the pistons





Installed the crank rear oil seal







Also my friend at the body shop fitted a oil return and oil temp sensor mount to my sump





my friend Dave welded in some erst bonnet vent holes









then took it to the bodyshop where my friend works















Then on to some paint















Then the outside

Doors





Shell





















Started building it up and painting the window surround

























Im not happy with the window surround its to sharp so I'm currently cutting it back to the right shape. I've also just scraped a 1.8 zetec escort which I think I might chuck the engine in for now until the turbo engine is ready.

Hope you like the update
