Sitech Racing, Clios, inlet manifolds and brake upgrades

So this week at Sitech Racing agin has been quite varied.

Started with a oil cooler up grade on a Mitsubishi GTO which included a new set of oil lines as the old set had perished!


Had a Mondao in for a big brake conversion. It got a set of mk3 calipers along with a pair of Focus ST 170 discs (300mm) we also fitted Goodridge hoses and Neo brake fluid. We had to make a 4mm thick caliper spacer to fit.


Still continuing with the S2 rebuild, final stages now.
Here is the Sitech inlet manifold that is fitted to the car. They sell at £450



We have a Clio 172 Cup in for its inlet manifold matching, timing belt and a set up.

Dyno day - Good result for GTO and Escort RS turbo

There was a dyno day organised by Clan Japan at the weekend at Hypertech.

Scott's Mitsibishi GTO powered by a Sitech Racing built engine achieved 376bhp on the rollers running larger turbos and a few tweaks.

The Sitech Racing demo car ran well also, with 380bhp but wheelspin beyond 380bhp prevented a higher reading been taken.

Paul's S2 RS Turbo project is coming along nicely and should be complete in a week.

We also have sold another one of our inlet manifolds.

Fast Ford at Crail Raceway and a new GT30 Turbo

So last week a new Garrett GT arrived for the Sitech Racing Escort. It came from AET Turbos down south. The turbo has been built to allow a higher boost pressure to be achieved and flow some Nos.


On Sunday Fast Ford were at the Crail Raceway Drag Strip. The Sitech Racing Escort RS performed well all day and posted a best time of 13.3 sec which was the fastest Ford FWD time of the day.

Also the Mitsibushi GTO of Scott which is maintained and set up by Sitech Racing, performed very well on it maiden run up the strip, posting a quarter mile time of 13.7sec.
