I've binge watched the whole onion playlist over the last few days, and what a journey! It's given me loads of tips and has massively influenced what I'm to do with this ST170 I'm breaking and my Orion. I was thinking of building a zvh with the st170 engine to keep the oem look, but with me seeing how you've been able to use a focus inlet for the ST170 engine, I've gone ahead and ordered one! Good luck tracking the air leak down, and I'll look forward to the next update!

Wow, I’m really touched by that - thank you! Just a novice hammering away in the garage. Yes it fits together all ok, once you grind the profile of the top mounting points to match the angle of the head, it’s all good! If you need the rest of the setup, The inlet pipe is mk1 focus 1.8/2.0 (be aware the auto has an extra hole underneath) I used an exhaust reducer and fitted it to an ST180 Fiesta intake pipe fitted backwards and then a 1.8 Diesel mk4 Escort airbox. Thanks for watching, there’s more exciting stuff soon! Mike
You should have a Ford brochure made suggesting it was a test mule or something
