Hi, Yes modified clutch. Uprated one to fit with the fiesta box (actually an escort box). I can't remember all the details but assume you are using a type 9 so no point in me digging out the part numbers.
Any reason for the external waste gate other than space for the turbo? It might make exhaust plumbing more complicated. I'm also using a spacer plate - the thickest one possible from Ferriday. I think it was 2.5mm. Gave comp of around about 8:1. Works fine and honestly no noticeable difference between that and when I used forged pistons with a slightly higher ratio. Jim may remember the exact details. Why do you not like water intercooling? I used one of these > http://www.chargecooler.co.uk/ it's not a great deal larger than the charge pipe so it all fits really nicely. Only a small water rad is then needed. If you did decide to use one of these, pleae don't use that website - I had all sorts of issues with the supplier (tell you if you are interested) For my pics just go to www.wastell.eu, you should find the link to the original dyno plot quite easily, that was on the engine with twin cats etc... At a guess I'm up to 250bhp now, and the torque I would say is higher but flatter, certainly 0.4 bar boost feels like .9 used to. :) Matthew -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of nigelp Sent: 01 December 2011 19:49 To: Quantum Owners Group Subject: [Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Zetec Turbo Right guys Here's all the areas being addressed. Turbo about 0.42 A/R on turbine to minimise lag; external wastegate, will sit high towards top of engine bay. Unfortunately space is a problem due to Raceline water rail and alternator on exhaust side, may have to move alternator/ auxiliary pulley. Exhaust manifold, making myself, currently drawing up on CAD. To be fabricated in 45mm stainless Cylinder head. Will gas flow and port etc myself, spacer to be used to drop compression. Haven't done the calcs yet for thickness, will probably go Ferriday. Oil feed. Flow off the pressure switch, return to be drilled into the block above oil level, minimum 13mm diameter, ideally higher. Vent in bonnett onto turbo to help cooling, outlet vents on side near scuttle. Intercooler exact position to be determined and a problem to get one large enough, hence the bonnet vent. Don't want to use water cooler. Installation may be similar to Quantum Mark's supercharged version, but ideally I would need a larger intercooler for turbo. Blow off valve on air intake after intercooler. Heavy duty clutch, exact one not yet addressed. May try a similar route to Jim's. Depending on turbo type may not have water cooling, jury out on this. Matthew, couldn't access the web link you provided, did try. Itried direct link and cut and pasting the address. Did you modify the clutch on yours. Think thats about everything.
