mk3 escort supercharged st170 box 9/11/10 charger mounted - Page 4

jonboisescort · 21-11-2009, 07:16 PM

today i borrowed my neighbour supercharger to test fit it on the escort

as it will be similer to the charger im going for

the one in the pics is a mercedes clk supercharger i think trying to get him

to sell but he loves it

so far i am going to mount it at the front of the engine as that is the

easiest place to make it fit

i will need to modify the slam panel move the rad forwards to enable as

much space as possible

might have to modify the exhaust but will see as i will be fitting a 4 2 1

i think it looks awsome

:Q

once i am back from wales will try again to buy this one if not will get off

ebay etc

also found a set of discs that have four holes and sit further back than

the focus discs

so i only need to space the caliper 5mm

rather than 13mm

Does the super charger pullley line up with the bottom pulley on the engine?This will be cool if it works.

GranaDavey · 17-01-2010, 12:11 PM

Waiting for some updates mate

James998 · 17-01-2010, 07:28 PM

That looks very cool! Also, I really wanted to buy your old fiesta when it was on pistonheads ages back, i'm gutted you scrapped it

jonboisescort · 18-01-2010, 03:07 PM

duncansharp76 · 18-01-2010, 09:47 PM

great thread, keep the good work up dude and just loving the simple style. yYou gotta keep that colour as its just SOOOOOOO right for the car

jonboisescort · 19-02-2010, 03:55 PM

have finally got a new bonnet with no rust for the bargain price of £7

has taken me a year

to find a bonnet that wasnt rotton or really expensive
only problem was it was blue

so a bit of matt black sorted that for now
will get painted beige eventually but atleast it doesnt flap around like the old one

have also started painting the inside but when i removed the sound deadening i found a few holes

so they will be getting repaired at some point

and sprayed the cam cover black

jonny s2 · 19-02-2010, 04:42 PM

what ever you seem to do to this thing it always looks cool

GranaDavey · 20-02-2010, 03:36 PM

He`s back

You should get it beige again, but for now, the black doesnt look that bad

jonboisescort · 20-02-2010, 03:43 PM

lol cheers fellas will get painted but want it done properly so going to pay somone to do it

jonboisescort · 28-02-2010, 11:34 AM

a little update
got some new wheels some bbs think there rz??
they are 15" 7j et37

they do need a refurb but are in ok condition for now
and have fitted some mudflaps i quite like them

muz · 02-03-2010, 03:16 PM

Wheels look good Jon.

Ryan_3 · 02-03-2010, 04:12 PM

looks good but I prefer it on the steelis tbh mate

GranaDavey · 02-03-2010, 05:45 PM

Looks good, but i think Steelies look better tho

Maybe some 16'

marky_g · 03-03-2010, 10:18 PM

175 tyres on the bbs's mate will look very cool

jonboisescort · 14-03-2010, 09:01 PM

Have decide to put the steelies back on as they go with the theme of the car better

liked the alloys but dont think they really suited the car

also done a couple of other little bits ;
fitted a new thermostat as it was always running cold now gets up to temp

attached the standard airbox abit better
and repainted the steelies black

found a great place to take some pics in the nice weather :Q :Q
quite a few pics

and a video :Q :Q

jonboisescort · 14-03-2010, 11:05 PM

slammedorion · 15-03-2010, 01:31 AM

ADT168 · 15-03-2010, 06:02 PM

mk3_escort · 15-03-2010, 08:55 PM

ooh I liked the alloys, maybe the steels would look better silver?

Jordy · 16-03-2010, 10:08 AM

Love it!
Rims looks great

jonny s2 · 16-03-2010, 04:21 PM

awesome pal you got your status back
much cooler with the steelies

gavintwopies · 09-04-2010, 06:17 PM

Know this is a bit late on in the conversion but did you use a pre-pats ecu or a pats ecu when you did the 2.0 conversion as i'm rite in the middle of using a pats ecu and have all the wires sorted i think? just bit weary of getting it to the point of turning the key and nowt happens

Glenn. · 09-04-2010, 08:38 PM

Nice one fella.I do like the alloys but it looks more like a sleeper now with the steels back on.

jonboisescort · 10-04-2010, 12:14 AM

cheers fellas used a pre pats ecu code DEEP

cheers for that, seems to be a common trend when doing a 2.0 zetec conversion? guess i'll just persevere with mine as i'm doing it.

jonboisescort · 26-04-2010, 09:32 PM

a bit of an update

havnt really done alot as been working alot recently so gets driven everyday
doing 100 miles a day in it and havnt had any major problems

last weekend i decided to sort few little problems out
1 was the gear linkage as it was sloppy and useless

so fitted a puma linkage which i got for £10 from my local scrappy :Q

and wow what a difference
feels just like a quick shift

second was the fuel pump holder was rotten and fukerd

i didnt want to spend £100 on a fuel pump holder so made my own :aviator:

painted the rest of the interior

conor.rst · 26-04-2010, 09:49 PM

Looks so nice mate

different to :P

Twins · 26-04-2010, 10:34 PM

good work

GranaDavey · 26-04-2010, 11:31 PM

Good work, awesome mk3

xrmalin · 27-04-2010, 06:02 PM

I was thinking off doing the puma linkage conversion on my estate does it really make that much of a differance ?

mark.

jonboisescort · 15-06-2010, 10:25 PM

a little update

have now sourced a supercharger

so the fun begins of making that fit

have sourced another gearbox so i can mount the starter on the back

i am alos going to change the exhaust manifold to a focus 4 2 1

and then theres making brackets etc

a few pics

have also painted the bumpers as they were faded

mk3_escort · 16-06-2010, 09:04 AM

Good stuff

Haven't got a zetec yet though

massivewangers · 16-06-2010, 10:12 AM

Cool little car this. Preferred it with the alloys though myself. RS1600i kit and those wheels and it would have looked proper cool.

kanabyz · 16-06-2010, 06:01 PM

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

I would like here in Brazil, the escorts mk3/mk4
