Hi guys thought i would share with you my 1990 Fiesta RS Turbo.
I bought the car back in feb 2016 for 3.8k as a non runner and had been pretty unloved for around 2-3 years.
Since then the car has come on quite alot had some ups and downs but we are finally nearly there especially now as we have took the engine out for a freshen up which was well overdue and it was scary how many bodges we fount including re used head bolts, bolt holes absolutely full of dirt etc.
The best part about this build is me and my good mate karl are carrying it out in my heated conservatory (the wife loves it ) haha.
rebuild has consisted of the following
bores honed & new piston rings
crank polished
cylinder head has been skimmed, new exhaust valve guides x4, decarbonised, hot washed valves cleaned relapped etc etc
new cylinder head gasket kit, new engine gasket kit, new cylinder head bolts
new cambelt kit inc water pump
new high pressure oil pump, cosworth oil pressure switch
newman cvh turbo cam kit with solid lifters
mahle crankshaft bearings
vernier cam pulley and billet crank pulley
ARP rod bolts
The spec of the engine is nothing out of the ordinary, iv had a t2 hybrid turbo built by my mate wilky at bernies blowers which consists of 360 bearing, escort cosworth t28 comp wheel, nissan t28 turbine both machined into oe housings. Also has a mongoose system on therealong with airtec stage 2 radiator and stage 1 fmic, we also fitted uprated fan and fuel pump looms from msd.
Once the engine is ran in and we change the oil again ill be getting it booked in with pj motorsport to be remappped on beige injectors and i also have an uprated actuator here for the proposed increase to 16-18psi boost.
we are taking this opportunity to fit an uprated helix clutch plus aem afr gauge, stack boost and oil pressure gauges just so we can keep an eye on the important things ill also not be butcchering any of the dash etc to fit these as i already have an oe centre heater vents fitting thats been modified to take 2 52mm gauges
anyway enough waffle heres a few pics of the car.
i did a grand total of 46 miles in the car last year and that will certainly change this year once we get the engine back in the car.
i have loads of pics of the engine build i could upload if anyone if interested in seeing them.
