Engine Build v1.0

[Jason@dizzytuning]

I can't wait to see the before and after dyno sheets of the cam change. I'm assuming you are going for some upgraded valve springs? I think supertech has a kit for some really nice beehive springs and titianium retainers. I haven't gotten to see the weight difference between them and the steel ones most tuners carry.

I'll probably end up going with the Mountune (piper cams) kit, which includes the springs. I meant "v2" and not "Stage 2" in my previous post.

New block showed up yesterday.
$286 plus about $90 in shipping, and received it 2 weeks after placing the order from Tasca.

What in the goddamn, that block is CHEAP. Stock Ford engine block here in europe is $730 without shipping :|

Rods just came in from @OAKOS Automotive. Stay tuned for bottom end build progress soon!

Do you know if they can ship internationally? At the price you mentioned, its dirt cheap for the block

Just curious; do you go all of the way to Englishtown or Atco now that Southampton has been shut down for a while??

Englishtown closed too.
howver, they have opened a temporary event here on the island at an abandoned air strip. Prep is not great but it's 20 minutes away!

I know that there was talk of Englishtown going the way of so many of the others, due to noise complaints from all of the encroaching suburban neighborhoods/developments in that area, which started to appear LONG LONG after the track was fully established.

But I did not know it was a done deal already.

Also lost in that venue closing down is the autocrosses in the parking lots there, and the karting track as well.

Jason, do you already have a plan for tuning? It seems with the cams and the ported head that would make tuning difficult, but I don't really know.

I will be doing the tuning and will provide updates/impression/gains in this forum.

I'll also plan to test this setup with the same turbo (s280). It made 376whp on a completely stock engine, so I am interested in seeing a direct comparison.
Then I'll bolt a G25-550 on it and give it hell!

Yeah sorry, I didn't phrase that well. I assumed you would be tuning. I just meant a plan as in you do you know what parameters need to be adjusted and what outcomes to expect etc.? I'm under the impression that there are very few 1.6's with any aftermarket cams and a ported head so the tuning required is not exactly a known thing at this point.

 

[Jason@dizzytuning]

Sorry for the lack of updates, it's been a busy year!
The engine was fully assembled and has since been installed into the Fiesta.
These V3 cams take a lot of tweaking, but we getting there!
More updates to come, and make sure to check out the first page with updated posts/pics.
