I'm just coming to the end of the work I've been doing to sort out my 4/4 ( 2000 Zetec) We've done a fair bit to the long engine and the head but also tried to 'clean up' the engine bay
There were three particular problems: one was the induction side. ( We intend to go to individual throttle bodies next year) In the meantime, we've come up with this
The second was the generally cr"p hoses the factory fit as standard so we went for a custom made set of silicone hoses
The third was the tatty state of the heater box, which we had re-powder coated and then used stainless steel mesh instead of that horrible 'brillo pad' the Factory fit as OE.
( With acknowledgements to Andy Jackson at ITG for the induction figures and how we could adopt one of their 'Maxogen' closed inductions kits, Paul Roose for the hoses and in particular to Mike and Ben Duncan at the Hartlebury Garage, who put a lot of my ideas into practice)
Hi - nice work - can I ask whether you were able to buy all the necessary brackets to fit the induction system, or had to fabricate them? How will you adapt the system to feed air to TBs, or will you have to change the whole thing?
