Looking good mate ! What power are you hoping for this time round ?

well hoping the next power level to be around the 350 mark depending how soon the turbo expires lol

[tin-ribs]

WOW that should be fun !

[FRSJON]

[rsonblackwheels]

[jayrs]

It's coming on great mate

Jon, You could take the opportunity to drop the engine a bit, to move the weight lower in the shell.

thats a good point mark will see what the drive shafts are like and see what can be done

[2105adam]

Great work. Can't believe this car will be better than before.

cheers adam,always room for improvement

[FRSJON]

drive shafts done a bit risky being white but will see how it goes lol



also a used ,standard focus rs clutch which is off to Budapest for a cheeky rebuild




im going to fit the shafts tomorrow and see if they hit anywhere..if not then i can get the gearbox mount welded in and the rebuild can commence .. also a rear defuser/flat rear floor is under way

[Excursion]

Jon, What's the craick with the clutch then? What do they do in Budapest?

well... i spoke a clever chap over there about clutches as his cars are a bit good lol

turns out he makes/rebuilds them.. for a really good price he will rebuild a standard one and make a six paddle plate to handle 400+ bhp. ..so going to give it a go

[tin-ribs]

Those driveshafts are cool !

[jayrs]

[Dave G fsi]

Love the driveshafts

[FRSJON]

a couple of pics of the work gary (crazycage) is doing to my cylinder head








once its back its off to be machined for the supertech valves
gary will also be making inlet and exhaust manifolds for the car

[Dave G fsi]

Looking good Jon

a few more

Very nice mate, I've still not been in it since it was finished (apart from sitting in it at JKM )

[Smo]

Mmmmm, proper tuning stuff

Is there much difference between the potential of your head there (which looks like a silver top to me?) and a black top or ST170 head?

one day mate

it is a silvertop,well once the heads back its going off again to have the big valves fitted. as for a comparison between the different type i could comment but mine looks much nicer lol

[FRSJON]

so the engine spec so far...

86mm bore
m12 head bolts
wossner forged pistons
pec steel rods
mls head gasket
ported head
stainless big valves
standard cams at the mo
650cc siemens injectors
custom inlet
custom exhaust manifold
stage 3 t3 turbo ( for now )

focus rs clutch/box

once its back together it will be back off to JKM to see what the turbo can produce as thats the next limiting factor..

What I meant was is there scope for more flow with the same work if you'd modified a black top or ST170 head to fit your silver top bottom end? Or would the results be exactly the same? Obviously as standard the black top flows better, and the ST170 even more so.

I recently purchased a stage 3 t3 turbo from CR turbos and was told by them it was good for up to 280 bhp ? Not sure if that helps ?
Ps, looks like it's coming along nicely !
