T3 turbo onto Fiesta RST Pace chargecooler?

Postby andyhardy on Thu Feb 12, 2004 2:47 am

Hi guys,

I currently have a Fiesta RST 1.6 with standard blown up bottom end!

The car was running a T2 turbo with Pace chargecooler and I am about to fit a 1.9 bottom end (off of fiesta-jim) and a stage 2 T3 turbo.

I have a question about the chargecooler - will I be able to fettle with hoses etc so that it will fit straight onto the T3 or is there anything else I'll need to change?

If anyone here has done this before or knows of someone who has done it - could they post me any tips?

I'm also looking to buy new engine mounts for when I get the bottom end in - any suggestions on this as I've heard previously that vibratech ones are the way to go with the turbo'd cvh?

Cheers,

Andy

Mounts.. Vibratech mounts, available from SCC performance or XfactorMotorsport.

The charge cooler I have got (from IanFRST) has had the bottom changed so an ERST hose will fit straight onto it..

Can get pics if that helps.

What about my dumpvalve?

I was using a Bailey competition dump valve on my T2 - will I need to replace this with a different one for the T3 or are they all the same and just different hoses?

Cheers,
