Whats your power and spec!
« on: 08 January 2007, 19:48 »
hi Guys

Ford owning newbie here!! just wondering what sort of power and 1/4 mile times you guys are putting out? I own a Fiesta RS Turbo with a 2.1 zetec.  This will put out around 280 - 300 bhp and just a bit more in torque.  No times as yet.

I know there are some VERY fast veedubs about as i went to the show at Santa Pod a few years back and was very immpressed with the quality of the cars, the power outputs and the times set on the day!!

Be good to talk to some of you - so dont be shy! :wink:

thats a pretty nice spec!! interested in the perpex back window.  I think this year i will concentrating on reducing weight and maximising the power i have.  Are there any gearbox upgrades to aid your traction? do quaife do a kit for veedubs? :cool:

Does your fezza turbo handle that much power and not break ! :shocked:

I don't know about my Rallye yet as I've not had it long enough, so not RR'd it or 1/4 it yet. They are only 150 as standard but they are 4wd so that should help. Mines not standard so it's had BRM ported and polished head, Autotech G60 cam, autothority chip with 500rpm extra rev range, giro check valve, K&N filter, 68mm pulley and custom SS exhaust. Hoping to see what happens at the next Santa Pod show. I got 17.2 out of my mk1 cab so I'm hoping to do better than that ! :laugh:

The Rallye Kings are here!

This will give Fezza Turbo a rough idea. I do expect a lot of stick will be given to him for owning a FORD but I won't be one of them. Fix Or Repair Daily so I understand, anyway......................

This is from a rolling road day -

Martz - that RR day seems like a lifetime ago now. I actually forgot about Joe's gay run to try and get in the picture  :laugh:

Nitemare - I bet that Fiesta flys with a 2.1 zetec lump in there. I had a standard Fiesta Turbo running pretty much max boost on the T2  and that used to torque steer all over the place  :evil:  Didn't last long like that though, haven't gone down the turbo route since....
