As someone who just bought a Raceline Zetec thinking that it would be an easy installation.... Do you have any pics of the issues that you outlined?

measured the throttle plate area - these are 50mm ITBs

Air filter and mounting plate are not included. These can be sourced from ITG. I believe the throttle comes in from the front, but I'm nowhere near the car and cannot check. The velocity stacks are 5cm high, 6cm inner diameter at top of the stack, 8.25cm or so outer diameter.

sltous: which product did you go with?

These were pulled off my Ford Zetec engine. $50 Shipped

Barely used. I paid $500 a piece but it looks like Amazon has these for $335 now. Asking $500 $450 425 shipped for BOTH headsets and all the accessories These are cool because you can pair them with each other directly and talk with your passenger. You can also pair them with your phone. Perfect for roadtrips in noisy cars like the Caterham https://senaindustrial.com/products/tufftalk?variant=32304362913843 d

FWIW I believe he is considering lowering the overall vehicle stance, not the motor.

Freshly disassembled and cleaned. This is no longer available from Raceline. Comes with the parts pictured in the first photo including: Raceline Aluminum Dry Sump pan 2 Stage pump Dry Sump Oil Tank New belt various hardware bonus Birkinsport pulleys (attached to scavenger pump crank pulley) Asking $1200 1100 shipped (to continental US).

TWM was bought by Borla and these are currently for sale on Borla's site for $1875 *without* injectors (https://www.borlainduction.com/2000-series.html#200034) Asking $1200 1100 1000 $950 900 $850 $800 shipped to any lower-48 US address Includes injectors

This thread reminds me that I have a couple of Sena Tufftalk 01 headsets sitting in my garage that aren't getting used . I'd be happy to sell the pair for $550 shipped (I paid $499 each but they are currently on amazon for 327 each) if anyone is interested. DM me. They are this model: https://www.amazon.com/Sena-Tufftalk-01-Bluetooth-Communication-Intercom/dp/B01ERHAAWY

still in the market for: - S3 Sidescreens - 13 inch wheels (will consider both equal size and staggered)

"If it makes you feel any better I think just the TWM ITB rebuilt ran me about $2k. " 2K for a ITB rebuild? Wow, what does that entail? I know that Borla (who apparently bought TWM) sells the ITB kit without injectors for $1875. "What ECU is Raceline going to provide? That price includes a tune from them? Will it mate with your existing Pectel harness? That's one of the problems I've ran into when looking into alternate ECU options. " It comes with an OMEX ECU and will be loaded with their map for the 200bhp build. I'm assuming (perhaps naively) that it will come with a new harness. "200hp is presumed crank right? I'll be very curious to see how it comes out on a roller dyno." 200bhp is crank HP.

Just to update the group on my ongoing saga just in case anyone needs some schadenfreude -- I'm now on a path that will ensure my Caterham becomes a family heirloom that I'll never sell ... because I've sunk too much money into it and I'd undoubtedly be selling it at a massive loss If I ever got rid of it. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I am collecting quite a fleet of such heirlooms. Sharing here in case someone else can learn from my many misadventures. HNH quoted $1500 + parts. I dropped off the engine with HNH with the hope that I would be able to replace any damaged parts with identical replacements so I wouldn't have to mess with the tune on my ancient Pectel T2. It became apparent that many of the exact replacement components were no longer available and the car would need to be retuned if I deviated from its original config. Frankly HNH wasn't terribly familiar with Zetecs so I decided to retrieve the engine and find a different rebuilder. Cost: ~$275 Based on my research and the recommendation above, I contacted Eric at Quicksilver and he seemed like the perfect choice. Although his quoted rebuild price ($3500 + parts) was over double what HNH quoted, he sounded confident about Zetecs and said that he not only very familiar with Pectel T2 ECUs but he would tune and dyno the engine after it was rebuilt. I proceeded to ship the engine to him based on that quoted rebuild price and waited several months for him to get around to looking at the engine. After he was finally able to dig in, he sent me a quote for almost triple the original quote ($9500). Given that Raceline was listing new 200 bhp zetec engines on their website for less than what Quicksilver was now quoting me for a rebuild, I opted to decline the rebuild and had Eric ship the engine back to me. This part of the adventure cost me $1390 (500 for "cleaning" and the rest for shipping). I'll be listing the TWM ITBs, Raceline Dry Sump system, and perhaps some other goodies in the classified section soon if anyone is interested. I proceeded to contact Raceline to purchase their 200bhp config and was told that the listed price was from 2021 and the price would need to come up "slightly"! due to rising costs (covid?). Apparently slightly = 2000 GBP :/ After a stiff drink, I decided that I'd rather spend ~11.5k on a brand new engine (shipped, including new ECU) than 9.5k on a rebuild. Deposit paid and now we wait a couple more months So that's where we stand. Wish me luck!

It comes with the parts shown in the pictures at the top of this post. It includes the wiring shown there, but not a full car wiring harness Colin

Thanks for the recommendation Croc, that path paid off! I spoke with Jeff Sloan and he recommended the shop machine across the street from British Auto Specialists called HNH Automotive Machining. Dropping the engine off Thursday.

Back for sale! I bought this engine with the intention of swapping out my existing engine that had been run with no oil pressure. I've decided to try and rebuild the existing engine as it is filled with race parts. If anyone wants to buy this, please contact me. The accessories have been removed in preparation of the swap, but they are all there. Colin

My brother failed to notice a drop in oil pressure (dry sump pump belt broke) while he was tracking my Caterham...so now my engine is toast, or at least in need of a rebuild. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop in the US (preferrably in Texas) that excels at rebuilding Zetecs? Thanks, Colin
