I can get you an used EVO 6 intercooler for £250 if you're interested, similar in layout to the APS unit.

Paul

 

Ill let you know after speaking to pace..

David

 

well **** me pace are the most unhelpfull people on the planet.. I wanted to place the order there and then... cant give me a delivery date... and couldnt take my card details over the phone... needed a fax... so I have rung somewhere else..

David

 

Yes I found the same trying to get hold of them. Wayne took a few weeks to reply to an email, grrrrr.

I spoke to someone else and got info straight away.

What are you after?

Might want to try forge motorsport.

Paul

 

680x200x80mm core

 

They have taken orders over the phone from me in the past?? Just sounds like a w**ker on the other end of the phone...you get that in a lot of places. I think the people who sell thru Demon tweeks do cores too, AJ Fabrications. Dont have a number for them though, only Demon Tweeks. Forge must do cores too, and I think another place, I seen in a Fats Ford mag, GRS Motorpsort, offering a good RS turbo IC, maybe do cores. 01935 479014
HKS also do cores, but id be scared to ask the price.

 

A H Fabrications 01432 354704 may be worth a try ?

My Pace cores were 10 days delivery and they took card details OK I also told them to be careful with the core whilst handling, I've seen some 'new' cores that are in a disgusting state due to poor handling !

 

Just rung them again... Should be ringing me back... so far big thumbs up on customer service...

David

 

Been in the garage and done some work... did a bit of wiring... moved some hoses.. looked to see how long the ally tubing wants to be.. and then refitted all the headers and gaskets... So all that needs doing exhaust wise is the downpipe.. Need to get under the car with the angle grinder and chop the bolts that I welded into the up-pipe...

Also bought a band saw now.. so I can chop sheet aluminium to make a water injection tank etc..

David

 

Yet again Ive been in the garage... taken pics but couldnt upload as scoobynet was down...

Anyway...

Removed right hand radiator bracket.. so it can be welded back on in std location (Why did I seam Weld it?)

Cut down the two bolts that were too long on the back of the up pipe... (stopping the downpipe fitting.. Tried cutting with die grinder and small cutting wheel but was taking too long... so managed to mount a angle grinder cutting disk in the air drill... job done in 5 mins...

Then mounted down pipe to gearbox hanger thing and bolted to centre section... Bolted flange to turbo and then tack welded the downpipe onto the flange when it was lined up...

Down pipe has now been removed and seam welded around one side, the other side has been cut open and needs some metal welding in for wastegate side... Should be done later tonight (I want dad to give me a hand with this one, two heads are better than one and all that.. besides it will be neatly bent if he helps me!)

So All exhaust work should be done by tonight... Lower strut brace can then go on and in theory car could go back on the floor.. actually no it can't uprated ARB and Droplinks yet to go on..

Intercooler core is either coming on friday or monday.. Knocklink and 2.5Bar Map sensor should be here today... Water Injection sometime around the weekend.

David

 

i will inspect tonight after work.

 

Come on, pics pics pics pics pics

Matt

 

David YHM

 

Steve where do the jets go in the nitrous kit?? in the blue thing??

Pics will be uploaded tonight..

David

 

cheers..

Its just I pulled it all apart and didnt find any... so steve wanted that much power he never used jets..

David

 

Sorry about the delay David, there should have been some in there IIRC. Although that could have explained why my little 106 went boom.

In the pack of jets make sure you have everyone that is listed in the fuel no2 table.

See you later!

 

Where you getting the knocklink from?? Im waiting on mine still ( Hint Hint Jamie ) 2.5 bar map sensor. Whats that from, and is it 2.5bar positive pressure?? or 2.5bar above zero ( vacuum )making it 1.5 bar boost guage reading.

 

Was desperate for knock sensor.. (so can get it mapped) so got it from Bob Rawle Next day Delivery.. Cant Fault Him!!

is an escort cosworth 2.5bar map sensor...

Drop me a mail if you want more info..

David

 

David, how did you get on with the up pipe? Steve have you (alright has David) tried to fit yours?

 

Tim, no not yet, we are going to do it at the same time as changing the turbo. Which should be soon

Davids is on his though!

 

Yeah, cheers tim. fitted fine... (well its on anyway... just tack welded some bolts into the holes...

David

 

An escort cosworth map sensor reads 250Kpa, or 1.5 bar above atmos. Basically 1.5 bar bar pressure, or approx 21psi. It actually goes off scale at 257Kpa. The 2.5 bar it refers to is 2.5 bar absolute. Subtract 1 bar for atmospheric pressure. I am using one on my Granada, but I will be going for a 3 bar soon, as Im not really happy with a 1.5bar limit. They only seem to be about £50 from some cossie places for a Weber Marelli one. 1.5 bar just isnt enough

 

should be enough david, standard one goes flat after 2.2bar.

I am sure a home can be found for it, but you can get a cossie 3 bar map sensor in the same format.

paul

 

where are these pictures?

 

in the fooking camera, and I left it downstairs in one of the bedrooms and mum's gone to bed... Ill try and do them before work in the morning...

Downpipe is done and I think its a work of art.. (modified with a fiesta xr2 exhaust!!)

Steven You'll be impressed and you'll see why he turned his nose up!!

David

 

See I thought it was 2.5bar normal whatever you call it 2.5 bar... not wimpy 2.5bar absolute... bit of a waste of £40

Seeing if I can source a 3bar now...

David

 

That, my friend, is the bollox!

Your pub gas could have been better, but there you go. That looks real nice.

As for the sensor, if it's new, see if you can return it, otherwise I am sure a home can be found for it somewhere, especially as the sensor does read higher than 2.5 bar, just a bit inaccurate, should be fine for the limit though. Plenty of people should be okay with a 21.5psi limit (like me for instance!).

 

Well done David and your Dad

Now i see why he turned his nose up at my attempt at a quality bracket

Excellent!!

Steve

 

might be worth building up the thinnest part of the flange with some weld on the inside, and cleaning up etc (where the nick is from the cutter) might be concerned about it blowing.

Paul

 

you on about the third picture up the nick on the right hand side from the plasma cutter? if so That doesnt exist anymore.. or aint an issue...

David
