Just get the car back drop me a message and I’ll pop by and take a look I know the guys at Parker’s In wigston well and they always managed to find the pinto parts for me when I had one installed

Best place to go is euro car parts or probably gsf if I remember right the car was a 2.0 pinto on carbs?
-
Aim dashboards are probably the best around

If you put a electric fuel pump in do you not need to run a regulator so the pressure is correct?

I used a floor mounted pedal box but stuck with the cable operated clutch. 'If it aint broke dont fix it' Works fine!
Personaly I would not use the ST170 head but stick with a blacktop zetec head. ST170 seemed the way to go 10 years ago when I was doing it, not many around, but these days why would you not go straight to duratec? No Brainer? Yes it was nice the standard bellhousing/type nine bolts on. New release bearing and clutch and you are in business.
ECU and throttle bodies as you would expect but unless you control the VVT inlet timing properly the engine will have no power above 5000 rpm. Mine uses a piggyback second ECU for the cam. Clunky but effective. Just shy of 200 horses.
I dont think these engines take well to turbo charging. Tiny exhaust valves. You might as well stick a blacktop head on it if you are going that way but the bottom end is stronger than standard zetec.
It was a frustrating and expensive journey but ultimately OK but there are easier and cheaper ways to 200 HP. Go Duratec! (Or buy my car. £4000 and there's the complete kit with a very nice exhaust and a spare car!!!)
I did a budget turbo build to start with and got 240 bhp so it’s really easy and achievable and a hell of a lot cheaper than duratec

Is anyone Interested in a run up to gbs for their event from Leicester and surrounding areas?

Antony godden had a set for sale I’m sure he did

You’ll want something like a megajolt ecu to run bike carbs personally if you want to future proof your car I would get a mega squirt then you can go fuel injection for more reliability etc

Hi mate I’m a fellow Leicester Robin Hood owner I find autosol is the best and to keep on top of it is glass cleaner I do mine once a year usually

Good luck with that I had a zetec sump from there probably one of the most basic/ budget things going never sealed up right and just caused me headaches and still took ages to turn up I definitely wouldn’t bother with them again I took it off and went for a Neil dunne one instead far superior quality

Pulse signs and graphics Coalville will be a good shout

Nice car I’m Leicester myself in wigston I wouldn’t personally put a flick switch ignition on are you running a electric fuel pump maybe it’s got a regulator on it if it’s only a pinto should be quite simple engine

Check where your swirl pot sometimes it can get fuel evaporation is and also check your crank sensor make sure that’s not damaged
