Winter engine swaps
arrybradbury - 9/10/07 at 01:35 PM

What do people have planned for the winter? Plenty of people go CEC to BEC - is anyone going BEC to CEC?


stevec - 9/10/07 at 01:39 PM

I just went BEC to CEC I did it over the summer because the weather will probably be better in the winter.

Not sure if you're only asking about BEC/CEC swaps...

but I'm thinking of whacking a Zetec into my Pinto'd car.

Cheers,
James

Standard pinto 1.6 to modded 2.0 on twin 40's.

Hoping to notice the difference.


martyn_16v - 10/10/07 at 07:08 PM

I'm fitting an XE to my thin-air engine'd car this winter, does that count?


And Mr T only pities the fool who thinks that an angry wasp is a suitable powerplant for a car. Damcrazyfoo'

I went pinto to zetec last year....erm well actually a bit of this year as well

So i think i might just put my feet up this winter


bimbleuk - 11/10/07 at 10:34 AM

CEC to SCCEC (Rotrex) last winter but I'm looking to either fit a smaller SC or a restrictor and limit boost so I can use more of the rev range this winter. I suspect my BGH gearbox could do with a refresh as well.


thomas4age - 15/10/07 at 12:44 AM

Hey Justin,

so you're tired of the power now?

anyway what rotrex is on now? (c30?, i need a C38 prefferably) if you're replacing I might be interested in yours.

ps can't you do with a bigger SC pulley?

grtz Thomas


bimbleuk - 15/10/07 at 12:56 PM

Hi Thomas,

I'm using the biggest pulley they do on the C30-94! OMEX had a go with a C30-74 on a similar setup and achieved 238BHP @ 8600RPM but the blower wasn't working till 5000RPM. Makes sense as the C30-94 uses the same internal gearing but turns a bigger fan

I'm letting OMEX do the leg work now as mine is working fine apart from running out of legs a bit quick only revving to 7200RPM. Next step for them is lower compression forged pistons, rods and aiming for 350BHP based on my power graph.

Er, I'm still finishing last winters project

Ill swap you my car, save you the hassle

Im tempted to swap my pinto out but not really sure what to. with 45s and setup properly it should be a lot better.

jacko - 28/11/07 at 07:18 PM

If my son's skyliner engine - gearbox etc dose not sell that may be fitted in place of the pinto for next year
