Sitech Racing

Few tasks ongoing today at Sitech Racing. We have a tidy up of the R5 rep, a newly forged 2.5 going back in the chassis and a track based ST180 getting our cooling upgrade and larger injectors.

This 1974 Vauxhall Viva arrived with us on a Maxx Street ECU running the base map.

Simon has spent some time calibrating the ECU but the car has shown a cooling issue so the system is currently being modified before Simon continues mapping to get it running sweet!

It’s so nice to see all these old classics still on the roads!

Check out that Speedo!!

While we do love our Fords - we do also work on a varied range of cars, vans, sidecars, kit cars etc…

Oor Simon can calibrate most makes of aftermarket ECUs too.

So we were racing our Fiesta ST180 mk7 in Turbo Tin Tops this weekend. Qualifying went ok my best time on A052s was 57.9 secs, which put me second in class and 5th overall on the grid for the 1st race. In the race I got a great start and got round the 1st corner in 3rd place, tussling with the 2 drivers in front for 3 laps, then on starting the 4th lap the engine lost power over the start finish line! so I came into the pits and was apparent that it had dropped a cylinder!

A quick decision with the team and it was decided to leg it back to the workshop and change the engine for the second race. The spare engine was in a running Fiesta, so the race car was put on one ramp and the doner Fiesta was on the other. The team and our friends all jumped on the tools and set about pulling the 2 engines.

With 2 engines on the floor we had to change the injectors, clutch, flywheel, turbo, oil cooler adaptor, fuel pump and gearbox. In the end we ran out of time by about 10 mins to make the start of the second race. 😞

I want to thank all involved in the massive effort everyone made in attempting to get the 333 race car back on the grid.

The last picture shows the reason for the failure. In quali I got a small misfire which I knew was spark plug educed (have previous experience) so Wendi was dispatched to Essport to collect some NGK PLTRA6s I figured that would be ok? as that was all I could get on Saturday afternoon.
Now the engine I was racing, was a stock engine fitted early last year but it had a damaged spark plug hole, so I fitted repair time -sert. The time-sert did not reach the the last 10mm of the plug hole (the black threads). My normal race plug is a heat range of 7 (colder) so the hotter plug combined with the exposed lower threads resulted in the plug melting and causing some det on the side of the piston making a small gas track under the top ring (scrap).
