[jonyb4]

looks very nice that mate, one of the best colours too

[black2]

Does look good. Needs the ambers putting back on & boot decals badges etc, but apart from that looks very tidy.

Any plans for it?

(Red top leads as well? RARE)

just gunna make it look mint get the decals and badges for it as you seen and just use it as my dayly car not shure on what power it is as been told the injectors that are in it are normaley bigger power than the standerd blue ones so need to get it rolling roaded realy see what its had done boddy is realy strait and not much rust at all on it so i was very shocked for £800 it aint bad lol

You only really need to run beige injectors with a T3. Your car would have been fine on the original blues.

[antn0585]

Thats just how it came il see how it runs and put blues in if needed but have been thinking of doing a t3 conversion on it

[black2]

The 701's are required as part of the 195 spec ie 1 bar boost. If your running less than that then the Blues will be ok.

T3 conversion would be good but its not original and if you have just replaced the T2 surley best to keep that for a while?

Gareth.

[antn0585]

Took it for a quick blast and it hit 1.5 bar guna keep t2 for now and just mint the car then look at upgrades wen thats all done just looking forward to useing it

If thats the case i would point out a few things.

a) For it to run that amount of boost it must already have a chip in the ecu? (did it judder like crazy or was it fine?)
b) I would wind the rod out on the actuator pronto as the engine will last a matter of days at 1.5 bar on a standard intercooler and (presumed) stock bottom end.

Gareth.

[jonyb4]

good god 1.5bar on the standard T2

i know little about theses but even i know thats ambitious

[antn0585]

i did think that myself and yes it has a chip in the ecu how far [ERRR] the rod be out any ideas

[black2]

Re pressure on the standard turbo 1 bar will be fine, but i would advise you take it lower than 1 bar as you have the standar IC. I used to run 1 bar on T2 but I had a front mount intercooler and an ACT gauge telling me how hot the air was entering the engine, the differnce between the standard intercooler and a full front mount is massive. Especially as the weather is coming into spring then summer the hotter the day the hotter your ACT's will be. So you need to knock about 8ish psi off.

Disconnect the actuator rod from the wastegate, and lengthen the rod by turing the end (this is the bit that hooks over the spline on the wastegate.) 1 full turn equates to roughly 1 psi. It will be a bit of trial and error, if you have a boost gauge its easy, adjust it & go for a spin if its still to high then adjust it some more, it gets dam hot down there though.

[antn0585]

will get on that at weekend as its not getting used at the moment thanks for the advice better than learning the hard way lol

[russ-RST]

looks good mate 1.5bar is a fair bit to be running though get it back down to around 1 bar i run mine on 1-1.2 bar and its fine and pulls bloody well lol
as a question tho running 1bar of boost would i need to change the injectors as mine is running blue's atm havent had any problems tho

[MK2 Jamie]

1.5 car on a T2. Oh dear, that isn't going to last long.

[black2]

1 bar I would say is a little to much for blues. Initially when I had standard injectors, coupled with front mount and custom chip I ran the boost at around 10psi and with that spec it made a rolling roaded 174bhp.

Yeah thats basically just stage one "165 stage" if you like. Only other things were piper x filter and magnex exhaust. If the engine & turbo are healthy then you have a solid base to start with. If its knackered smoking and generally sh!te then it wont make a decent figure.

I remember the first time I had it set up the engine was totally standard bar the exhaust and it made 132bhp which is bang on.

Gareth.

[jonyb4]

its the same story with zetecs mate, but in a smaller propotion ofcourse

i feel its that case with mine, everyone tells me it shouldnt be as good as it is

[rst-steve]

Nice, can't argue for that money

[antn0585]

well bben out there all day today sorted the brakes out it was the abs unit at fault so have removed that got a new servo for it and fited that then fitted the goodrick braided flexy pipes bled the brakes and thay work wooohooo fited 2 new cv boots so to moz got new stem seals for it and some welding to do not much just a pach on each sill so hopefully mot time on monday

[antn0585]

well been working hard at it on the rs all weekend the small pach on the drivers sill turned out to be the whole sill that had been pached badley and caused moor rust as it wasnt done rite so put a full sill on the car and had to rebuild the inner sill aswell will get some pics up soon as i have some time

The problem with the mk3 Fiesta is not what rot you can see, its the rot you cant see, which can only be found by digging out the rot you can see

My FRST needed at least an inner and outer sill one side, outer sill the other side and a couple of patches in the floor. I decided to me it was not worth saving so i've broken it. Good on you for saving this one though

[antn0585]

Well had it up in the air and all kit of and carpet out and all I can see is the sill ive done the pas sil needs a pach floor is good and archs are good to

well all my hard work has paid off took it for mot and its pased first time cant wait to get it out on the road now

[black2]

Good news!

Now we just need some more pics of the old girl.

Did you manage to sort the boost out in the end?

Gareth.

[peeweethethird]

looking good buddy

[antn0585]

Yeah its runing 0.7 now so not much but by god it shifts got a problem tho its geting very hot gets up to the n on the temp gauge fans on but there is a lota preshure in the tank and get white smoke sometimes to so not looking good wil get some picks up tomoz might get rid of dump valve to as it sounds beter without
