VF8 turbo is now on the car. Havent pushed it yet because I am afraid that it may be running lean. Going to put an adjustable fuel regulator on it tomorrow and crank some pressure into it to be on the safe side. Here's some pics of the turbo and wastegate mods.

What sort of engine mounting arrangement does the 6VD1 or 6VE1 use, ie. does it have the same mounts as the piazza?? And what sort of overall height comparison are they to the 4ZC1? Anyone know? Would be a cool conversion to do into the piazza, I could imagine a twin turbo setup fitting quite nicely...

Well, after working on my car for the last week solid, I finally got it all back together and running tonight. Turns out the head that bought and got reconditioned had a reground cam in it with more lift and more duration, should here the car idle now.....sounds mean. The cam has made it a little sp...

I agree you could never be 100% sure on the cause of the crack, however, I had the head off about a year ago and looked over it and it was running perfect back then. The problems started happening a few months after I turned the boost up, small bubbles started appearing in the water and the car woul...

Cool thanks for the info. I have already swapped the piazza turbine housing and wastegate actuator onto the vf8. Did you port the wastegate at all to control boost cause I have read that this needs to be done when doing similar swaps on Ford Lasers? What boost are you running? And is it making much ...

The ports have had a little work done to them, they are larger than the piazza ports but not quite as large as the rodeo ones. Obviously this is not ideal and the plan is to open up the ports on the head eventually, just have to get the car back on the road ASAP. The turbo has a flange that bolts to...

Dave's Piazza Project Thread
Thought I'd better post up all the latest on my project since I havent posted for a while. Latest thing to happen to my Piazza is a cracked head which finally caught up with me a week ago. For those of you that saw my dyno results in another thread on this site, you would have seen that running over...

Bob, Seeing as though you know heaps about Rodeo's..... I am about to install a Motec M4 in my Piazza using the 4ZE1 dizzy for the ref and sync signals. What I am trying to work out is what ignition setup the Rodeo's ran and how the Rodeo computers sensed the engines exact position (if at all) using...

Well......brakes are on the car and it was well worth the upgrade to. Not to many hassles getting it all on, will go into a few more details when I have more time. Brake bias seems pretty good and the car stops so much better, most notibly when you brake hard at say 100km/h. I will post up some pics...
