Gearboxes, Honda Integra, Ford Cosworths and RS turbos

The last couple of weeks has seen Sitech Racing working on the above.
We had a very nice Honda Integra DC2 in for some engine set up work, it responded very well from some additional fuel and ignition advance, it ran very well for an engine that had covered over 100k.

We have also been busy with a Sierra Saphire engine and interior swop, nearly done, then just set the engine up.

Also we have rebuilt a RS turbo BC gearbox to include a LSD and change its centre housing for an early 4 bolt version.




The Black RS turbo from up north has been finished, it spec includes a forged ZVH bottom end, a extreme flowed cylinder head fitted with a Ph4 Newman cam and solid followers. The car also sports a Gotech MFI Pro ECU along with a special GT25 Turbo, its safe to say that this car is quick!




The DC2 Turbonetics teg is coming along, we just have to fabricate its solid boost pipes and stainless exhaust.

Sitech Racing Mitsubishi GTO Project Car Featured in Banzai Magazine

Banzai Magazine ran a feature on the Sitech Racing prepared Mitsubishi GTO owned by Underground Graphics in their January 2009 edition. Following the Photoshoot by Adrian Brannan of AB Carpix we were really chuffed to find out Banzai had decided to include a 2 page pull out poster of the car along with the article.

Thinking it couldn't get better than that imagine our surprise when our copy arrives in the mail and and we find editor Joe Clifford had put the GTO on the front cover and the feature rant to 7 pages! In Joe's own words;

Something has happend this month that I personally never thought would happen - I've put a Mitsubishi GTO on the cover.

DC Turbonetics conversion, Escort Cosworth, RS200



So the last few weeks have seen Sitech Racing working flat out.

We have had a Ford Escort RS Cosworth in for set-up, geometry check and adjust.

We have also carried out a high lift rear clam conversion on the RS200 and tweeked the geometry, along with an engine tune to increase the boost pressure.


The Honda Integra DC2 has moved on quickly. It now has the engine installed and the turbo bolted in on a nice ram horn exhaust manifold. The massive intercooler also has been installed and we are just waiting on some parts to turn up to finish the hardline intercooler pipes.


Good progress has been made on the Escort RS Turbo from Inverness. Its 300bhp 2.0 ZVH engine is in the car. We just have to do the GT25 turbo conversion and map the Gotech ECU.

RS200 and Turbonetics GTK450

So the turbo and external wastegate have now arrived for the Honda Integra B18 Turbo. The turbo itself is a Turbonetics GTK450 which is a twin ball raced turbo with ported inlet. The turbo is pictured below along with the Turbosmart 38mm high temp external wastegate.


We also have a Ford RS200 in for tuning, set-up and tweeking. It is nice to have one of these iconic group B rally cars.

The Gray S2 RS Turbo goes back to its owner this week and we now have a Black one from Inverness to do a simular conversion - watch this space.

Honda Integra B18 Turbo Conversion

Here are some pictures of a customer's car that we are building. It is going to be a turbo Honda Integra B18. Basicly it has a standard bore and stroke B18 engine using Worsner slipper pistons, Eagle forged crank, Eagle forged rods, ACL race bearings, new oil pump, new water pump, flowed head with Skunk2 valves. This gives a compression ratio of 7.5. The inlet manifold has been modified by Sitech Racing as is the AEM fuel rail and regulator. Other components for the build include 1000cc injectors, Turbonetics GTK450 turbo, Turbosmart ultragate 38mm external wastegate, Gotech stand alone managment, uprated clutch, lightweight flywheel.

Sitech Racing, manifolds, Fiesta Turbos, Escort Turbos

Over the last few week we have been busy an usual. We had a very well prepared Fiesta RS Turbo running a ZVH with Gotech Pro-X. The owner brought the car up from England to have the mapping tweaked and have the geometry set up.


We also made one of our inlet manifold for a ZVH engine using an EFI head.


The amazingly mint S2 Escort RS Turbo is still with us, the owner having instructed us to carry out more work. Fitting a set of Autometer guages at the moment.
