I HAVE AN POWERFLOW ZORST AND A PIPERCROSS AIR FILTER . ANY THING ELSE 4 ABOUT £500 NOTES?

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Tue Oct 03, 2000 10:10 am

Set of cams, don't get race cams and they give u pants iddleling and only increase high end power, which really isn't what u want from a everyday car, not all the time do u go screaming round at 6000rpm... i hope <IMG SRC="http://www.rs-turbo.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif"> , get a set of fast road cams, will improve overall power and touque <IMG SRC="http://www.rs-turbo.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif"> best cams u can get should cost u just under 500 notes,

You'll get nitrous for just over £500 & you can take it off when you sell the car <IMG SRC="http://www.rs-turbo.co.uk/ubb/smilies/smile.gif">

IS IT SAFE TO RUN ON A STANDERD MOTOR? IF SO WHAT BHP JETS SHALL I GET

by **muffking** on Sun Oct 08, 2000 11:21 am

I've got a mate who turbocharged the 105Bhp 1.8 Zetec engine, was using standard rods, head, but skimmed the standard pistons to allow the turbo to work on his engine. It ran 10-15psi @ around 200Bhp, there were no problems with his conversion at all, but he did fit ARP conrod bolts (wich arn't hard to fit) just to make sure that the extra power didn't pusp the rod off the crank. I therefore think that 50Bhp nirous jets will be fine, but from what i'm told 50Bhp jet are only 50Bhp on big engines, so expect something a bit lower. When you want more power you can go for something like 75Bhp jets.

HAW DID HE TURBO IT AND WHO DID IT ?

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Fri Oct 13, 2000 11:23 am

Turboing a RS1800 is a criminal offence by the way, if u want to turbo it get a XR2i 16v, not a RS1800, u have in your hands the Ultimate Drving mans/ womens fiesta, adding a turbo will ruin the character of the car, if u go for Cams, Head work, Nitrous ect, u will see the real beauty of this car, with only a few hundred spent it can deliver Power all the way throught the Rev Range, the RS1800 isn't about Insain Preformance Figues, it is about a Car with no turbo that has great handling and when drivin correctly is one hell of a car, if u seek the turbo option, sell the car and get a XR2i 16v and turbo that, u would have enough cash left over from the sale of the RS1800 to get a good condition Xr2i 16v and have it Turbo-Charged do u see people Turbo'ing RS 2000's ??? i think not, the lecture is over <IMG SRC="http://www.rs-turbo.co.uk/ubb/smilies/biggrin.gif"> [Edited by Andrew Malcolm (13-10-2000 at 11:23 PM).]

EASY MAN !!! IM JUST AFRADE OF BIG BILL'S AFTER WOT U RECKON AND WOT WILL NEED UPRATING

by **muffking** on Mon Oct 16, 2000 7:41 am

Turbo'ing the 1.8 RS is done in the same way as the Mondeo engine as used in most Fiesta/Escort Zetec conversions. A proper job is preferable though for higher boost & I'm having new pistons in my newly aquired 1.8.

Gentlemen let me give you a bit of edjucation my brother who works 4 Fords Research,tells me that there is absolutely no difference between an XR2i 16v Zetec and an RS 1800, the only variation in difference is that the RS1800 has an RS interier,both engine blocks and management systems are the same,and an RS1800 will have an RS badge on it. Hope this helps you. P.S.by the way just wait until end of 2001 there's a new ford coming out thats gona replace the fiesta,its stunning and extremely powerfull.

by **Adrian** on Sat Nov 18, 2000 12:32 pm

So how come when you take an RS 1800's 130ps Zetec to bits it has oil jet sprays but the 105ps XR engine doesn't? And also the cams are different?

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Sat Nov 18, 2000 12:36 pm

how come one is 130bhp and the other 105bhp ?

by **CharlieB2** on Sun Nov 19, 2000 12:22 pm

cams, don't have to scream around? i fitted a cvh35K to my frst and lost about 23lbs of torque at around 2500rpm it was better in someways it does rev a lot higher but still lost that initial pull it used to have! if i were you i would think again about it and look at other things.

by **2000_16vT** on Fri Nov 24, 2000 6:58 am

Dont fit a pair of cams to your Zetec - you will absolutely kill driveability. The inlet cam is set up very well for road use, the only one that lets things down is the exhaust. Get hold of a 275 exhaust cam and run this with the standard inlet. This gopes fantasically well with a 4 branch which are usually quite expensive but I have one which was made for my 2 litre fiest. No longer required because I have turbocharged it now. I dont know what you mean by true nature of the car etc but as Im still running 9.5:1 CR there is no lack of low end power as the engine is still running as it would NA. Zetecs are absolutely stifled by the inlet side, hence and automatic increase to 165 on TB injection. If youve got a TIG welder spend a weekend designing a better injection manifold, or fit a Focus manifold like Ive done for 10bhp. Cool cheers ta

No difference in an XR21 16v and an RS1800.......Im gona say one thing guys..........PISH!!
I think that your bro at ford research, if thats really where he works, is extracting the urine out of you son.
25BHP of a fifference, where does it get that from, its bum?

by **Paul RS1800** on Fri May 11, 2001 12:33 pm

25bhp comes from larger throttle bodies (from a 2.0i Zetec) and uprated cams.

The brakes are uprated front and back, as is the suspension, gearbox, clutch and chassis

Much nicer car than an XR2i valver and 1.2 secs quicker

by **kiss my Rs(1800)** on Sat May 12, 2001 12:14 am

HAMMER26 = dick head

( i am wee-weeed and angry)

if the only thing that is different is the seats you knob why is one 105bhp and one 130bhp.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhhh knobheads i am feed up with em.

rs1800i is 17 and says he is p*ssin off the blue oval for a rx7, my a*se, dick head, and dickhead.

all you other lads are good lads with fezzy dont diss me i am p*ssed and HAMMER26 and RS1800I are really stressing me out with all the crap they are talking.

by **Shug** on Sat May 12, 2001 6:34 am

The throttle bodies arent from the Zetek, how can they if the RS1800 is a post zetek engine

by **Andrew Malcolm** on Sat May 12, 2001 8:41 am

This Post was created ages ago, it caused alot of fuss at the time, but now it has reared its ugly head again :sad:

the post should have been deleted/locked at the time,

it was found that RS1800I was probly lieing about even owning a RS1800 as he was 17 or somthing rediclous, with a years noclaims, and he only paied 500 quid insurence a year, but i belive he sold his RS1800 and bought a Mazda MX-8 ? Raidal Engine Twin Turbo thinge, but again, that is what he said :rolleyes:
