Just back from TTS Performance in Northampton who spent all day making and fitting a custom intercooler and pipework. Final Dyno run was 397BHP and
297 ft lb

That's a nice result Jeff ! Even more than you expected if I'm not mistaken. More importantly how are your charge temps looking after
the new intercoler? Did you manage to get the claimed 15deg above ambient?
You must be one of the most powerfull zetecs out there now!

Haynes Roadster (Finished)
Exocet (Finished & Sold)
New Project (Started)
inlet temps where down from 65+ deg C to a max of 34 deg C on the Dyno so yes, inlet temps down.
One of the biggest gains was when the air filter was changed from a CBS carbon can to a K&N cone filter, the car immediately gained significantly
from 4000 rpm onwards. Of course without the rest of the changes it wouldn't have done this but even so I was shocked at the difference.
Anyone want to by a slightly used Carbon canned airfilter ?
TTS where great, they normally wouldn't do this work in 1 day but agreed to this time....Arrived at 0800hrs and left at 2030hrs and Darren still
had to put his 600BHP Exige S1 back together for Friday at Angelsey. Great bunch of guys who worked very hard during the day I was there.
Bloody hell, your catching us up, we'll have to get out 462bhp zetec back in the workshop! :-)
That's really really good power for a supercharger setup, what boost are you running now?

1.2 Bar Dale. The crap airfilter (which I had forgotten about) was holding it back....a lot. So it gained 60BHP and 40 ft lb with the intercooler
change/airfilter change and the inlet is now 34 deg C on an ambient of 20 deg C. Not too shoddy
Yes, inlet is from the Pod on the drivers side. I'm going to put a lid on the sidepod and then put large holes in from the side for the
airfilter to breath cold air.
Hi jeff, that's absolutely fantastic power at that boost, your whole setup must be very efficient.
We are running 27psi to see 462bhp
My 3 door Cosworth YB runs 30psi to see 360bhp
We are planning on getting the zetec turbo back in the workshop soon for MSD ignition upgrade, we also need to dial the cams in as there on ford marks
at the mo.
I think we will see over 500bhp when we get everything sorted, the customer us running a stock RS turbo gearbox so I'm expecting that to blow
soon!

We could change the Rotrex out for a bigger one (C34) and would like see over 500BHP using 1.2bar. TTS had a 2lt Duratec in (in a Chevron) which made
480BHP on 1.2 bar with the bigger charger.

Hi jeff,
May have asked you this before, would love to know your cam specs, we are using piper 285s.
They are more than the 285s Dale, I think it was 300 duration. Lift is not very big as they would run on stock pistons without a cutout. They are
not really optimised for this application but seem to be OK.
