Re: Diary of "JPH" 2.1 ZT (the rebuild 19/7/10)
time to start rebuilding,
looking at the fiesta turbo steering rack one of the tie rods, seemed very loose
so bought a new kit for both sides,
old
new
while changing them i scotched the main body and gave it a few coats of satin matt black
fitted in the bay, happy with the finish
last weekend i went to see my engine builder, area six / ian howell
the main reason was to have my fuel pump uprated
so ian has installed a pump from an evo, rated between 450-500bhp (not that i'll ever be that powerfull)
new pump on the left, to be fitted to the standard 1600 zetec fuel sender/pump unit on the right
brought my skimmed flywheel home, as it wont be used on the harvey gibbs engine dyno
got myself a new fuel pressure reg from ian aswell
also my engine was there with the old cam cover on
aswell as a new sump with oil return on the back for the planned oil breather setup
my new t38

Re: Diary of "JPH" 2.1 ZT (the rebuild 19/7/10)
ok thought it was time to catch up with the progress
to finish off the steering i bought some new track rod ends
also had to clean some the hubs where the powder coating is'nt supposed to be,
with a purple scotch wheel it was'nt too much of a problem
which allowed me to fit the coilovers to the hubs
and on the car
been buying some gauges as its the perfect time to fit the sensors to the engine
the oil temp sensor is either to be fitted to the sump or sump plug
act sensor from R&B motorsport to help me keep an eye on the inlet temps
the new inlet manifold will be drilled and tapped to take the sensor for this

rusty and dirty? dont swear at me
the shell was in suprisingly good condition before i started,
the time spent on prep and not cheap materials used
it will be some time before its rusty
on another note, yeah i was at ford fair on the FT.com stand

my old rack was leaking, pump a bit noisy then priced up a new rack at £700 odd from fords
as i've been buying everything new i priced the powersteering oil cooler up, had gone from £80 when i priced it previously to £350
that was the turning point for me,
my old 106 track car was non power steering and i found it great

Reconditioned racks are fine, that price sounds like an outright purcahse price to me? Sandblasted & powder coated cooler is fine, or even one from another car
With all that power you have it seems like a step backward - with PAS you will grapple with the car less and be in more control. All the best handling cars in the world have HPAS, and PAS always stays on the more hardcore versions (M3 Competion, M3 CSL, GT2 RS, GT3 RS Etc.)

yeah fair point,
but with the power steering gone it gives me more room for other toys
such as remote oil filter housing and cooler

Re: Diary of "JPH" 2.1 ZT (the rebuild 9/8/10)
had some bits to do to the heater box,
renewed the foam gasket
also as i have three gauges in the centre grill on the dash,
i'm blocking this up, so cut up an old numberplate to do the job
got myself a nice turbo oil feed pipe with extra pre-turbo filter
put the new rear engine mount on and put new bolts on where the front engine mount would be after cleaning the threads out first
how the engine bay is looking at the moment with the brake servo/master cylinder on

RS rob :knuckles :has that oil return been plumbed in below the oil dipstick level ?
it's the oil return for the oil breather
I'll ask ian
the cvh oil breather return goes above the oil level on the block
ive got a feeling the air wont be able to go from the sump to the breather if its under the oil level .... ?

Clark, it's better to return below oil surface level. A return placed within the crankcase area will suffer blow-back with a high boost engine.

Rob, I think it might've been you I mentioned the squeaky dash/vents to...I found the ever-annoying dash squeak in my Mk3 came from the point at which the outer corners of the central dash vents came into contact with the soundproofing up on the dash. They squeaked and fidgeted together once fixed to the dash. Once I notched out the soundproofing the squeaking left for good

fair enough
ive always been told having any returns to sump below oil level causes problems.
example: turbo oil return

That's a different case: returning liquid which is under pressure. If there is any resistance to the flow the oil backs up through the Turbo bearings and causes smoke.
The Oil breather drain is returning oil droplets by gravity, and in this case, it doesn't take much to force the droplets back up in to the breather pot.
