For me the target is 180bhp and a free revving engine all the way to 7250rpm

Anything above that will be a bonus fingers crossed it makes a little more though

Not yet. Been on to someone who makes the zetec pullys. He said its possible but may not be able to get a new centre bolt. He also asked how many were wanted. I guess that more would know the price down. Don't think he was interested in making the st pulley one of his normal sale items

the fact the vct delete kit from the states is so cheap, its not worth getting 1 made unless its a batch lot

As soon as i find a plug for the solenoid hole and I've tested my method for fixed timing has worked you can have it nothing

Read on some US forums they are a bit hit and miss.
They also list on eBay but postage is too much that's on it.

Today's update

Engine all back in and refitted with new mounts and some other little tweaks

Turned the key over a times to prime fuel system and to get oil back up in the engine

Here's the video of 1st start up

startup

Had to adjust tickover alittle higher once engine was warm and the water pipes had been connected, it has more intake noise as well

Yeah I'm going to take it to EFI parts to have the map altered, but I have innovate LC-1 I can data log with so can do the fuelling myself and I emailed omex for a base zetec timing map, I just need to compare that with the timing map that is on ECU already

been working on car again today, and it's finally road ready, so took it out for a quick spin

engine is very very revvy, huge difference compared to pre VCT delete, hopefully i'll get some time to do some data logging and get the fueling adjusted

Just ordered up a couple of Delete kits from Massive Speed. Easiest way to get hold of them is Facebook.
Ordered off there site via paypal. They will then send an altered postage amount. $17.95 for postage i think.
