yep as title says i got a mk4 fiesta i spent about 43 hours in just under 4 days cleaning the under side of my fiesta ready for the new engine to get fitted in!

New engine is a fiesta st engine which will soon be supercharged!!

Some of you have probably seen my car before barry hollamby use to own it hes also on fiestasi not sure of his user name though.

Anyway heres some pics of the current progress.












Here is some general pics of how the car is so far!!




Unfortunatly i dont have a job at the moment so all the conversion etc has just kindda gone on hault but i got something that looks promising with autoglym van sales representative going to shows and selling to products etc etc so if this goes well and i manage to get the job then im hoping to have conversion finished by end of june!! cams, chip, 4 2 1 exhuast system etc etc.


Comments welcome


cheers
tom

good car would like to see what it goes like with the charger on can imagim it being rather quick what sort of bhp you looking at after the charger been fitted

_________________

depends on what stage it is

most supercharged ST's are running around 250bhp on STOC

not 100% sure on the power figures, just engine will be 150bhp then when i add the cams it should take it to 170bhp then exhaust system and all the other bits i have planned hoping for around 240 maybe then supercharger i am looking at should take it to around 410bhp (superchagrer kit consists of pistons etc etc) but i dont think ill ever run it that high due to it being rwd but possible something i could do after all this is turn it 4wd

C38/61 << this is what stage id be looking at possibly.


Im not 100% sure though

Save the trees, wipe your arse with a Cosworth

yeah there was one with 440bhp in PF, but that had a shite load of work and a trick gearbox as over 300bhp it can't handle it

Most fiesta ST's get around 250 with the 2.5 kit supercharger

and rwd?

lol brake wise im looking at a 320mm conversion, but will be escort cossie wheels with these discs obviously cause on 15"s they wont fit, ill have the escort cossie wheels sprayed aston martin grey to .

Also to help the power i will be investing in a proper adjustable coilover kit to, and obviously few other bits

The 4WD conversion i will probably talk to norris motorsport about a few prices and how much work it would take.

Not sure what gear box to be honest ive been told the standard st gearbox goot for about 250bhp??? And then after this ill probably have to look in at getting a custom box made with flappy paddle gears

Yeah my ERST was in that feature pf with the blue st on the front

Like i said tho power wise im not 100% sure

What i have planned all together that blue st on pf that is going to be my target!! something like that.

^^^^^^^ Sorry yeah typo mean FWD

sweet

and yeah 300bhp tops on the box i think mate

sounds good though

and there was a supercharged ST at the pod sunday, and it couldn't put the power down on its p-zero's fo shizz

300bhp, that seems pretty cool alot more then what i thought.

At the moment im running toyo proxies tr-1s but i need some new tyres and will be getting some toyo proxie race tyres (road legal)

_________________

sweet sounds good mate and cossie wheels will be wider to helpwith traction

Thats what i was thinking with the cossie wheels they are wider but im also thinking if all goes to plan and i do end up getting what power im wanting them i cant help thinking that 17s may be better??
