part 3 {of the same day, of the same track day}

 

 

Fixed yet? or atleast problem known?

 

Not fixed yet, it has lost power over 5,000 rpm. Could be a couple of things.... saving to take it to a garage

 

unless you want to donate me that little zetec turbo of yours..... I'll give it a good home!

Did you put Kent cams in there? Check the cams I would say!

 

Not kent...

 

Think just going to give it to jamsport and my kidney

 

 

Looks like a lot of body roll in those photos. Looked into any ARB solutions?

 

funny thing is it doesn't feel that bad. It was being hammer through the corners

 

It has all the powerflex bushes and area six arms and strut braces. Coil overs will make it stiffer, but not keen on the prices, i feel comfortable in the way it handles

 

I don't know of any up rated arb for a mk6 escort

You can control bump a little using bump rubbers.

Nothing wrong with Kent Cams there Sleeman!

 

you'd be suprised! i know of many fiesta rs turbo boys that have used the kent cam in their engines and the lobes were completely worn out after 10,000 miles, they bedded in right and everything! they that production and quality have gone poorer! one is even suing kent over severe engine damage because of the cam!

We've built countless CVH's and RSTurbos with kent cams and never, ever had a problem, that's also with them hammering the nuts off them in racing cars! They build us cams to whatever spec we ask for and we've never had a cam fail yet!
