The latest goodies for your Ford.
Direnza has seen impressive results with its innovative Multi Vane Technology in previous products, and now the Mk3 Focus RS can benefit from this latest intercooler development. The MVT intercooler features special vanes to distribute the charge air across the entire intercooler core for maximum cooling efficiency. Coupled with high-flow end tanks and hard pipes, Direnza says this technology showed an increase of 9.4bhp on the dyno compared to the standard intercooler. Not only that, but outlet temps had dropped by 8.4C too. For more details, check out Direnza’s website.
Fitting a dry sump system to the Pinto engine has never been easier thanks to this conversion kit from Burton Power. Most of the conversion is a simple bolt-on affair with only the front of the jackshaft pulley needing minor machining in a lathe to provide a suitable location for the oil pump drive pulley. The dry sump is produced from cast aluminium and has ¾in scavenge outlets. The sump has a cut-out in the centre of the trough and suits applications that require clearances for crossmembers, which enables the engine block to be positioned as low as possible. The sump has three additional M10 mounting locations at the front and also provides a mounting location for a Cosworth YB crank TDC sensor bracket. The kit uses a Titan Series 2 oil pump with three stages (two scavenge and one pressure stage). The oil pump is mounted to the distributor side of the block and driven by a gear fixed to the jackshaft pulley.
RALLY DESIGN
Anyone who has seen a driver wearing a crash helmet with his head inside the footwell, trying to determine the position of the balance bar bearing in the brake pedal, will see the value of this genius new product from Blackline/ Rally Design, which displays the front-to-rear brake balance in a clear digital format. The kit includes a ‘Click’ detent head balance bar knob, 700mm drive cable, drive cable adaptors, drop down gearbox/potentiometer, 20 LED display, front-rear bias red LED display, and green LED balance setting.
