Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Any Ideas??
Agree, my thinking was that there is a coarse filter on the pick up as you mention which stops crud getting to the pump, but if too fine a filter was on the pick up side it could cause flow problems/ cavitation.

[Quantum Owners] Blacktop 2L Zetec Sump Pan
Just a speculative post, does anyone happen to have the steel lower sump for a 2L blacktop Zetec lieing around doing nothing!! Would be prepared to pay. Have taken mine off in preparation for drilling the alloy upper part this week and just found I have quite severely scraped it so one section is very thin. I guess this has happened sometime during numerous off road excursions on track days. I can weld a plate over which would be good as it would probide an extra layer of protection anyway, but it would be better to start from a sound base!!

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbo Oil Return
Just taken the sump apart ready for machining the oil drain. I can't get a 1/2 BSP thread in the boss (same place as Jim's RS Turbo photo) so will have to go for 3/8 BSP, but am a little concerned about the reduced diameter. On the picture you posted Jim it shows a smooth hole - how was the pipe fastened in, is it just a press fit and any loctite used? If I use the press fit route, should be able to manage about 11/ 12mm for the return. Am also going to weld a spare return with blank at the top of the steel bottom sump as a contingency for any future needs!!

Thanks Matthew, I think we are at cross purposes. I understand all that and how the system works, I am talking about the oil return pipe from the turbo which mustn't cause any back presure to the trubo bearings not a drain from the separator.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbo Oil Return
Decision made, going to use the boss behind the one indicated on Jim's photo. Plan is to take the sump off, jig and drill it at work to 19mm and tap for a 1/2 BSP union, it will be close on wall thickness for the boss, but is just about achieveable. On the photo shown; was that drilled out for a push in connector? Next question is what internal diameter does the return bore need to be? I was planning on abouit 13mm, but some sites indicate 15mm, which is hard to achieve unless I make a hybrid push in connector, what have you guys used?

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbo Oil Return
The bit thats puzzling me, and I tend to agree with your reasoning Matt, is that the positive pressure is prevalent in all the crank area, not just the breather, so wherever I return to there is going to be positive pressure trying to blow the oil back, including below the oil level. As the crank ventilation 'box' has a return to sump side to it and the cross sectional area of the opening is 3.1sq cm vs 1.327 sq cm for a 13mm return line from turbo, it surely should take the flow OK. The only bit I am puzzling over is the internal construction and shape of the crankcase vent 'box.' Has anyone ever ripped one of these apart or have a drawing?? I don't understand what you mean by this statement 'You also need to take the crank breather back BEFORE the turbo not after.' Perhaps I'm missing something. Thanks for all the inputs - intend to sort it this weekend. The meassge is seeming like 'cover all bases.''

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbo Oil Return
Thanks guys. Thought you'd cracked it Jim, so went to look and then realised this is right where I've hacked away to get the starter in to mate to the Type 9 box. Still thee are plenty of other bosses around the alloy sump housing. Will have a look this weekend, but right now I am leaning towards using the standard Zetec breather assy with a turbo return boss welded on on the side where the separated oil runs back into the sump. The aperture is so much larger than the turbo return pipe, that I can't imagine it getting swamped, the flow from the oil separating out from the breather can't be that great and there is a guard on the breather to prevent splash from the crankshaft. I may well put a contingency boss on the sump just in case!! The key decision is whether to take the breather outlet to a catch tank, but am not sure of the benefit. I guess if I do that though, it will provide a more visible warning of any problems and I don't want the risk of sending any oil through to the plenum!!

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbo Oil Return
I'm slightly confused by the plumbing here. On your ZVH you drilled the block to an 18mm hole and put in a separate line which I thought was the breather going to your catch tank, I also thought the catch tank had a line from the rocker cover breather. I thought the fumes went out of the catch tank filter and the excess oil gathered in the catch tank which had to periodically be drained off. I asume there is no PCV in these lines. Confusion is that is the hole you drilled out in the block to drain your catch tank or is the breather and the drain is a different line? Do you vent any gases into the engine inlet or plenum? One thing I did notice on the Garrett web site is that the turbo return should not be in an area that receives backwash from the crankshaft. I think but haven't looked that the crankshaft views directly onto the breather hole. I guess to solve my confusion, could you please explain your connections to the catch tank Jim. I have noticed on one web site an alum block to screw directly onto the block in place of the breather to take the line to the catch tank. Unfortunately I seem to have found lots of bits of info on this, but nothing definitive. I am now trying to make the sum of all the parts make a whole. As is usual with things like this there is also lots of conflicting information around. Thanks for the info on the turbo Jim and Hamish. I had always expected some play for the reasons you mention and when guys say no play I am a little sceptical, but this did appear excessive and as Hamish mentioned I am a litle concerned by the flow to the turbo resulting in an oil pressure drop. I am still to sort out where to take the flow from as the Black top doesn't seem to have the additional hole you mentioned in a previous post. It probably will end up coming from the pressure sender unit hole - a task for next weekend!!

[Quantum Owners] Turbo Oil Return
Advice wanted please, regarding my turbo onto blacktop Zetec project. Engine's out and gearbox being refurbed. Was planning to do the turbo oil return similar to Jim's but .. As my turbo is sitting near the top of the engine, above and away from the crankase breather I plan to keep the breather (adding a heat shield), is there any reason why I can't weld an oil return pipe onto the breather? A 13mm oil return seems insignificant compared to the size of the breather hole. This would save me having to remove the sump, which is the two part steel base and alloy unit, drill the block, machine the outlet etc. Got into a dispute with the guy who sold me the turbo, he said 1.5mm play in the shaft and two bolts broken in constituted perfect condition, (the ad said perfect condition and no shaft play).

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbo Oil Return
Thanks Hamish. I'm a little puzzled as all the information I have read including Garett's web site says the turbo oil return should be above the oil line and as high as possible in the sump. I do agree with yuor logic and explanation; the opposite logic seems to be that the return is unimpeded and no wash up the return. Although I would have thought it made little difference since p = h x density etc. Having done some more research since my first post, my favoured route is to make a plate to cover the breather hole and weld two oil unions to it. One higher for the crankase breather and the second lower for the turbo oil return, will also angle then in oppostie driections. Will then take the higher one to an oil ctach tank. As the breather hole is about 45mm diameter (haven't measured it exactly) I can't imagine there being a problem, but would appreciate any input please.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Whilst we are on about uprights FOA Nigel
Whoops, yes I was and desperately trying to remember where I got to. I certainly haven't recorded anything. I did measure the Xtreme hub and meant to measure the Sierra later and never did. I believe with my vernier I did measure them and they were very within a gnats c---, but my depth gauge wasn't ideal for the job and I didn't have time to take them into work to properly measure and check. As we are only looking at small variations they did need to be acurately measured and I never did that. A long winded way of saying I don't really have any meaningful data. Wait I do remember borrowing a micrometer from work to measure the land between the inner and outer bearings, the Xtreme was identical to the Sierra. I hate posting bits of information, but this is all I can remember. Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme on the track
Ditto to all of the above. Mine went about a year ago and I posted then. Was due to the bulkhead hole being smaller than the alloy guide piece, widened the hole and chamfered the guide piece and no problems now. It does seem to be an Xtreme problem.

Not sure why/ how the previous discussion got hijacked, so started a new thread. Jim, thanks for the cam belt info, was that on a silver top or black top. From memory I think there are significant differences in the cam belt length and tensioner between the two. Still its good to know its Ok on the silver top and I'm sure someone has done this on a black top.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Zetec Turbo 2
Just discovered, I can access it from home using Firefox, but my work laptop seems to struggle. Jim I may be missing something but why should weight make a difference unless you were skid limited; the engine produces the torque and will put that through the clutch to achieve the max possible acceleration, if the car is lighter the accel will be faster per Mr Newton's second law. I don't doubt you are correct, but feel I must be missing something. Matthew you seem to kepp referring to the fact that you now run lower boost and have more power. What else has changed, I'm confused. Thanks Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Xtreme Zetec Turbo
The engine's coming out for gearbox overhaul, new clutch and drilling the oil return for the turbo into the block, probably like Jim's ZVH conversion. Manged to win a bid for a Garrett turbo from an SX200 last night and have started laying out the manifold plate on CAD and will then CNC machine the plate at work.. Question is I need to get a blanking plate to lower the compression on the head. Does anyone know if the profile is the same for silver top and black top 2L engines? I am going the decompression plate route, certainly for this initial stage, I haven't yet run the calcs on plate thickness required, buit I notice a web site where someone has used 2.5mm and I think Matthew said his was 2 mm ah just checked Matthews was 2.5mm, so may as well do the same. Anyone any idea what material is best for the plate, I notice Ferriday use aluminium and another company I talked to at the Autosport show yesterday used stainless. I can see arguments for and against both, so Matthew do you remember what material yours was?

Thanks. I want to get the project done in time for Stoneleigh (a thousand other jobs on the honey do list too) and if I'm happy with the turbo performance etc, may go for some more power and forged pistons etc at a later date. I reckon about 8 psi will give me 200 or slightly more power.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Zetec Turbo
You can and I note Jim skimmed of the top of the pistons, but with the Zetec head would need to skim more off than .5mm, although haven't worked out the numbers yet, need to get my thermodynamics notes out next week as I've got to lecture it anyway!! Might give the students a project!!! If I'm going to change the pistons I may as well go the forged route in readiness for a few more horses, but don't want to do that yet. I really don't think there's much risk with the decompression plate, but may get proved wrong!! To be honest with black top Zetc engines available for about £150 to £200, I'm not too worried about the engine. Its all the bolt ons that cost!!!

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Zetec Turbo
Right guys Here's all the areas being addressed. Turbo about 0.42 A/R on turbine to minimise lag; external wastegate, will sit high towards top of engine bay. Unfortunately space is a problem due to Raceline water rail and alternator on exhaust side, may have to move alternator/ auxiliary pulley. Exhaust manifold, making myself, currently drawing up on CAD. To be fabricated in 45mm stainless Cylinder head. Will gas flow and port etc myself, spacer to be used to drop compression. Haven't done the calcs yet for thickness, will probably go Ferriday. Oil feed. Flow off the pressure switch, return to be drilled into the block above oil level, minimum 13mm diameter, ideally higher. Vent in bonnett onto turbo to help cooling, outlet vents on side near scuttle. Intercooler exact position to be determined and a problem to get one large enough, hence the bonnet vent. Don't want to use water cooler. Installation may be similar to Quantum Mark's supercharged version, but ideally I would need a larger intercooler for turbo. Blow off valve on air intake after intercooler. Heavy duty clutch, exact one not yet addressed. May try a similar route to Jim's. Depending on turbo type may not have water cooling, jury out on this. Matthew, couldn't access the web link you provided, did try. Itried direct link and cut and pasting the address. Did you modify the clutch on yours. Think thats about everything.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Zetec Turbo
Thanks Matthew. Haven't completely ruled out water intercooling, but the issue was cost. Also whether its water or air the radiator has to do the same amount of work as an intercooler and take the same amount of heat away to get the same cooling ie same size rad as intercooler, although haven't thought it through fully yet. Space around the radiator is very very tight on the Xtreme and I woun't make a final decision until I've got the nose cone off and sussed it out. Up till now my main focus has been feasibilty. I have concluded it is feasible at a reasonable cost, so am proceeding. On your did you seal the decomp plate on one side and gasket the other or use two gaskets? I prefer the former. regards Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Zetec Turbo
Its on a Zetec not Pinto and I reckon 200 BHP with standard clutch and box, but torque may kill the clutch, so may go to 220 BHP with modifued clutch.. Thanks Jim no worries. I'm close to finalising everything. Just missed a brand new Garrett turbo on flea bay last weekend went for £110. Will post what I plan to do soon. The biggest pain is the turbo oil return.

[Quantum Owners] Xtreme Zetec Turbo
Question primarily aimed at Jim, would appreciate some help please. Am finalising turbo selection for my winter project of 'turboing' the Xtreme. Have most items sussed and have now removed the exhaust and am measuring the ports etc on a CMM at work ready to make the manifold flange. My first question relates to the turbine A/R ratio, as best I can tell from the turbo by garrett web site the larger the value the better the peak power at higher revs and the smaller the diameter the better the low end torque but the higher the high end back pressure resulting in less top end power. This is great but need to calibrate a base line, which is where I hope you come in. I am shooting for a similar power to that you quote on your web site ie about 200BHP engine initially but potential to go to about 250BHP, therefore would appreciate knowing the turbine area : radius ratio on the turbo you have used as I couldn't find it on your site. Also any comments/ info on torque/ power curves vs speed would be appreciated. My plan is to get everything fitted and located, before pulling the engine out and drilling the oil return.

[Quantum Owners] Thermostat Housing
Different question this one. I am planning to put a turbo on my Xtreme this winter and one of the issues is the thermostat housing cover.

To fit the turbo I need to have the top hose outlet at 90 deg to the current position ie facing forward. My next step is to scour the local scrappy to see if I can find similar. The question is does anyone know if the housing covers with two bolt holes at 180 deg are a standard size and spacing. I can remove it and measure to compare, but it woulod be helpful if they were standard. I will try to attach a photo on the photos page, but have never succeeded on this before. Thanks Nigel PS I have tried contacting Raceline but no help so far. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Thermostat Housing
Yes possibly - had kinda thought of that, but thought welding may prove difficult on a thin casting. Will check tomorrow as may be able to get it done at work, I work at an Engineering College so have access to machining and welding facilities. Thats the manifold plan!!! While we are on the subject, I have a turbo fabricated manifold from an unkown engine that may fit if I replace the flange to the head. You wouldn't by any chance happen to have a Zetec head or manifold around from which you could measure the port centre spacings and let me have them. I have ball parked it and it seems pretty close, but won't get around to taking my exhaust off for another few weeks, when the 'honey do' list gets a bit shorter Appreciate the help.

[Quantum Owners] Re: zetec engine fitting
Jim, are you saying that the Mondeo's regardless of silver top or black top always had a 4 o'clock starter, I'll stand corrected but am prertty sure the early Mondeo's had a 10 'o'clock. I'm pretty sure that Paul Fennell's Xtreme engine is an 1800 silver top from a Mondeo and has the 4'o' clock starter. Its kind of a bit academic, but I've just gort real curious. On a different note, I believe you said you had an ST170 with a Zetec blacktop, where does the turbo get its oil feeed and return from and am wondering if the standard black top is modifiable to this. I've been considering a turbo mod this Winter and keep vascilating between that or throttle bodies and cams, so currently scoping out both options. thanks Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Re: zetec engine fitting
Jim We are either at cross purposes or one of us is way off. On the Xtreme fitted to a type 9 gearbox, the silvertop will bolt directly on, whereas the black top requires the alloy webbing to be carved away on the sump housing to enable the starter to be fitted in the same position as the black top - I had to do it on mine and I know two other Xtremes and a 2+2 (presumably IB5 gearbox) that had to do the same. Viewed from the front of the engine (timing belt end) the black top starter is at 8 o clock and the silver top at 5 o clock, There is certainly a difference but it may not be as straightforward as black vs silver top. The bell housing bolts do all pretty much line up, but one redrilling is required together with a blanking plate in the vicinity of the old blacktop starter position. You've definitely got my curiosity up and I may get forced to eat humble pie, but ther is definitely a difference somewhere. Maybe those with silvertops and those with black tops can post the position of their starters!!

[Quantum Owners] Re: zetec engine fitting
Ah just read your post again Jim, I see where you are coming from the difference is in the alloy sump casting, which on the black top has the starter in a different position. The engines are the same but the casting is where the difference is. Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Re: zetec engine fitting
Just looked at some photos. The standard blacktop Mondeo version is as you say 10 o clock sitting above the sump and to fit to the Type 9, the alloy sump of the black top had to be cut away at about 4 o clock to get the starter in. The silver top mondeo mates directly to the type 9. Would up load the photos, but have never figured out how to do so. In short what you are saying above tallies; I had never realised there was two diferent positions on silver tops.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme master cylinder fixings
Am interested in this one as I need to do mine soon. Bearing in mind that mine is the Zetec version with the box offset, mine has captive nuts on the pedal box (as suppied by Q with the kit), so it is simply a case of undoing the pipes and the two bolts and lifting it off. It is just a straight pushrod that goes onto the end of the cylinder. The issue I have got is finding someone who will just supply a repair kit instead of a reconditioned master cylinder, although my cylinder is not one of the more common ones.

[Quantum Owners] Track Day - Cadwell
I am looking at a track day at Cadwell Park on 2nd August - web link below. It is organised by Circuit Days, for a booking of 5 or more they will discount from £169 to £150, if we can get 10 or more I could perhaps get a larger discount. Although a fair drive for a lot of us, Cadwell is a great circuit and one of the most interesting in the UK with plenty of variety; you can access the circuit links and maps from the circuit days site. It is not a power ciurcuit so should be good for our cars, also the noise limit is good at 105db, so no cars (like mine) will fail. They do not charge extra for additional drivers. I have checked with Mark Burley and it will not clash with anything he plans; he may do a Llandow track day in September. http://www.circuit-days.co.uk/tracks.asp If anyone is interested please post here and lets see if we can make it into a great Q day out.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbos
Thanks for the responses, any more input or knowledge greatly appreciated. Looking unlikely that a diesel turbo will be an option for the reasons Jim points out and it seems there may be some differences in the way the oil seals are installed on diesels, making a petrol installation more likely to blow the seals, although don't fully follow the logic to this one. I got into this to help on the pug project, however in researching it it may be better to go this route than throttle bodies and cams on my Xtreme. Next step is to price it all. Jim this may be covered in your article but if a thicker 'head gasket' is used to reduce the compression did this throw the timing out enough that verniers have to be used on the cams. Curious here as Ferriday will machine the chambers for a similar price of £180 to the composite 'gaskets', thus enabling the standard gasket to be used. Also anyone any idea how much a turbo will affect the mapping. Next step to figure out the intercooler installation for an Xtreme - anyone got experience here?? I notice Mark Burley has done one on the Xtreme for his supecharger installation. Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Turbos
This is a general question not directly Q related. I am investigating and researching a couple of turbo projects. The first question is does anyone know if there are any differences bewteen a petrol and diesel turbo? I presume the wastegate valve will vary, but that would also be the case between different petrol types, I would assume. One potential project is a Peugeit 306 1600 engine for my nephew, the other, which is real pie in the sky, is my Xtreme. Have read Jim's Zetec turbo article a while ago and need to look at it again. The second question is; does flow have to be considered in deciding which turbo? At first I thought that if a diesel was used with lower engine RPM it would require a lower flow (capacity times engine speed proportion) however further thinking seems that this wouldn't be the case as the higher the engine RPM the higher would be the turbine speed, therefore increasing flow. If anyone can shed any more light on this woudl appreciate it. Thanks Nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] Re: wiper blades
Blades are donor Sierra cut to length (per the build manual, I believe) and with new reduced load springs supplied by Quantum. The standard springs are too high a rate and mine were checked at SVA - I will check the lengths of the arms when I get home. Blades were supplied by Q, I will also measure the lengths later. Note also that the linkage is modified from that of the Sierra to give a longer sweep on the passenger side. The info on this was in the build manual.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Heading for IVA- at last
Can't help you with all and mine was SVA about 4 years ago, but here's what I know/ believe: 1. Not sure what you mean - front or rear - the rears have indicators and the fronts are on stalks from the nose cone, also indicators on sides of the scuttle. To my knowledge no others are required. 2. My boot hinges were OK as standard, I did just break the sharp edges with a fine file. Both mine and brothers passed OK - same tester. I would break the egdes and go for it, if he flunks it ask him for advice on what it would take to pass. 3. Don't believe any ID necessary, just have tpo be visible. 4. I had no issues with brake balance on standard Sierra disc front/ back set up. Hope this is some use.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Message for Andrew (S3 151) - Pinto to Zetec
Don't forget the differences between black top and silver top Zetec. The silver top (earlier) is covered by Paul's artcle, but using the black top engine is more major, but quite doable. I did an article for an earlier mag on the black top installation, so eirher way both are covered. Probably the two biggest issues you will have to contend with is that the Exhaust is on opposite sides to the Pinto and and 'auxiliary' pedal box is used on the Zetec chassis to allow space for the plenum chamber, however I believe that Mark at Q HQ has come up with a way to use the standard Ford inlet manifold which probably enables the use of the standard Pinto pedal arrangement. If you used the Zetec SE I believe the exhaust is on the same side as the Pinto. Mark is focussing on the Zetec installation and is trying to make the whole Zetec installation easier - he is worth talking to when you get serious.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Website
I had problems with both systems as could never find the mag to find the password (even worse if you rely on the site for the mag) and with the current system had a problem until I set my own password. I think this one is much better, now I am used to it and have user ID sorted. The only improvement I would suggest is to be able to use e mail address as user ID like on a lot of other sites or if this is bad for security then the ability to change the user ID to something people can remember. I know it shouldn't be difficult to remember your initial and surname, but for some reason I kept forgetting this was the system until it finally got etched into the old grey matter.

[Quantum Owners] Re: xtreme engine mounts
Can't help you there. When I first fitted the new ones, I got a vibration around 5800 to 6200 RPM that wasn't there before. Nothing serious and I can still just about notice it. These mounts seem fairly stiff and I would be wary of going stiffer. I do notice on the track when pushing corners hard that the engine does move over, the evidence being some new dings and engine/ exhaust hitting body. The clearances in these areas are quite decent and rather than go stiffer mounts still, I am considering a lateral stabiliser. However this is still a first thought and haven't really got round to designing the locations yet. In your case I would look at how much clearance you have in the static position and if it is really close, would try to solve that problem rather than going to stiffer mounts. Have just remembered that when I built the Xtreme I opened the holes on the engine mounts to move the engine slightly to give some more clearance although can't remember whether this was for the bellhousing area or to give more clearance against the bulkhead for the rear of the water rail. You can also probably use some packing washers to move the position of the engine mount bracket a small amount. Although wouldn't push this too much. Is yours a black top? If you let me know where exactly your problem is I will check the clearance on mine.

[Quantum Owners] Re: xtreme engine mounts
On my build I used the original Sierra ones as they seemed fine, however my engine was moving a lot and so I put new mounts on (2 engine, one gearbox) suppied by Q. These were a lot stiffer and far less movement. Mine is the black top 2L with type 9 and it is close to the transmission tunnel at about the 11 o clock position as viewed from the front and does occasionally hit, although this was not the reason why I changed the mounts, it did help and now is pretty much a non problem. When I had the engine out I did also take the sharp corner off the tunnel slightly with a hammer. Just a note on the spigot bearing; don't over grease when you reassemble. I did and the centrifugal force caused the grease to get onto the clutch plate. When cold the clutch would slip but was Ok when hot. As it was obviously borderline, I changed the clutch the next winter and when stripped could follow the grease marks onto the clutch plate.
