I am guessing it's the ECU from the Minker Spec estate that TurboShed Bought and sold the engine to Snoopaloopa...



That Cooler Definatly needs BINNNED!!!!

Do you know Dave Howard? He has good links to Geoff Kershaw, Dave has also been playing with Chineese GTxxxx Replcia turbos on his Minker.

TT

from memory yup im pretty sure its Snoops old ECU, came with a loom, injectors, dizzy,coil etc.

I swear the oil cooler we have to fit on it is bigger than the intercooler lol, will be sorted :D

Apparently he does have the software but refuses to lend it out to anyone :(

Though my local RR guy used to play with Zytecs (he used ti tune turbo jag racers)

Contact Ford HQ with the donor Vin number and engine number and they should be able to write back confirming age of the engine. That should be accepted as proof of age of engine by DVLA/VOSA.

HTH BV.

Hmm, need to find out somehow if thats still ok mate, as if i can fit the Zetec it will be a big help!

Thanks matey :)

Hi Russ,
Since the Andy's at Saturn have a hot line on all things IVA I guess this would be a good way to find out and confirm this is still the case.

i can see what you are saying vern. the way i was seeing it that they looked up the car that the engine come from rather than the car its presented in.

thinking about it i may have been wrong in my interpretation of the text.

although it doesn't make any difference to me as i have passed iva it may be worth ringing vosa to clarify.

for once this is really something i want to be wrong about :D

Whats the Ford HQ address? I can't find any suitable address for sending an engine number request to!

We don't have a hot line....;) but if we can build good relations with these people then it benefits us all. He is actually very for the Haynes Roadster concept as he rightly believes that the roadster Kit Car industry is becoming very expensive, especially for turn key cars, and thinks that the Haynes brings the kit car building philosophy back to where it should be. And that the Haynes is a bloody good and well designed car.....:)

I've attached the relevant page from the IVA manual and Ash is completely correct in that for age of engine between August 92 and July 95 if there is evidence that the car was not fitted with cat from new then the pre-cat tests apply, ie CO <=3.5% and HC <=1200ppm

I'm sure Ash still cares, just like we all do.......:p

Russ_16v 12th March 2010 09:25 AM

That makes sense, thanks guys!

Though i think im out of luck with the Zetec idea, as i cant think of any Ford that had a Zetec, but didnt have a cat?
