'86 Escort RS Turbo S2 -project: GHIA-
Hi guys!
I'm Andras from Hungary. I'm a big Escort fan, previously I had an MKVII for 5 years (or MKVIb) but finaly in July 2010, I bought a black '86 RS Turbo S2
My big plan is to make the car untouched outside, make everything back to factory look, but put all extras as possible in it!
The present:
-all factory extras are in, electric windows, mirrors, central locking, VFD clock, trip computer, etc. (only the heated front windshiled is missing)
-heated leather Reacaro seats
-EFI (OFAC)
-mondeo MK3 GEM modul:
-mondeo MK3 dimming mirror
-mondeo MK3 radio stalk control
-one-touch windows up/down, and automatic up on close
-Ford rds2007 radio/ 10 disc cd changer
-arm rest from a 2007 Fiesta
-cruise control (tempomat) from a Scorpio
-step-out lights form Scorpio
And so on...
A few pics will tell more I think

Yep, 2002 mk3 Mondeo clocks
Well, the mondeo uses the Ford CAN-BUS , so it's impossible to connect it dirctly to the Escort.
Few MkVIb Escort had digital clock set, (it's not CAN-BUS!) simply uses the analog signals of the car. VSS, tacho signal, etc.
So firt I've tried that clock, and it worked perfectly.
I've taken the 2 clocks apart, and used the VIb Escort maniboard to run the mondeo clocks.
Now there are a "few" (50-70 maybe) jumper cables connecting the mainborad and the clock set/LCD/leds, everything

Thank you guys!
My oil return pipe blowed off. Again
This was the third one...
So finaly I bought a Samco from BurtonPower.
Hope this will last for a few years
I have some problems with the car. Maybe ACT sensor or the CO potmeter or something worng with the cables. The error code: 59. Changed everything else, but don't have more ACT and CO pot and cable set.

Please, I need help!!
The full story:
-The car gets a lot of fuel, so there is no idle (rev up n down, sometimes stops, and smell of fuel evrywhere)
-I've tried to adjust the CO with the pot, but got no response.
Checked the fault codes, I got error 59: CO pot error.
This could be anything, so already changed:but got the same error code...
Any idea what the hell could be wrong?!

This could be anything, so already changed:
- -CO pot
- -MAP
- -TPS
- -ECU
- -and checked the full cable loom

I've bulit in a Ford Mondeo mk3 GEM (General Electric Module)
This GEM controls the central locking, boot opening, the interior lamp, the light reminder sound, the "autobahn index", (and I want to make the alarm working)

An eye for detail...

I like the one touch windows.
Theres so many features you could build into a car if you have the time and knowledge with electronics.

I need a little help!
I've installed an AEM 30-4900 wide-band gauge.
And got this:
Tried to adjust the CO pot, but never got better values
12.9-14.3 AFR @ idle
15-18 AFR @ low acceleration, -0.3 bar
15-13 AFR @ 0 bar
13 AFR @ full load
What can I do to have a richer AFR?
Thanks!

Because with the CO pot I can't get the AFR richer, I've adjusted the fuel pressure regulator til got the correct AFR. (without a pressure gauge... ye, I know it's not tha best to adjust it by "feeling"... )
BUT!
The AFR is now ok, the car is better than ever, I hope it's not just placebo
Another thing is the mk4 factory trip computer shows nearly the double of the real values. Finaly got a scope from a friend, so we played a little bit.
The FRST EEC IV (OFAC) and the Escort mk4 EEC gives different signal on pin 17 (the fuel flow signal), not just the lenght but the timing.
Saidly I've only made a video of our first test, the scope test: playing with the VSS:

Some minor changes:
-the center air control console was broken. Tried to fix it with a special epoxy glue but no success.
So finaly from my old wrong radio I've made a special console to fix it:
And I've got some time last weekend so I've made a bluetooth cassette adapter just for fun

Hi guys!
The car is in a nice garage for the winter.
Only big news is, youtube delete all my old channel, because there was some music in one of them, while I was driving the car, and the radio was on...
Och, and a new project for the winter:
Cheers!

(my previous rds2007 was the mk5 version with the 10 disc changer and and stand alone sony controller)
Now, this is an "rds2007 cd changer" version.
(Automatic volume control, stalk control, built in cd changer control)
I have 2 problems with the MK4 premium sound:
- it's very "stupid"... (and I need stalk control )
- and the color. In my full black interior the mk4 "gray" radio looks a little strange. This full black rds2007 looks really COOL! (I think )
Och, and finally I have a working version, the rds2007 playing music from an SD card and a pendrive

Nice work man, I see you have a DSLR camera, that's nice
Well, for the radio I agree, and since you are not keeping it strictly from the 90s, why not take the parts taht will best fit your requirements !!!
I'm curious about the cruise control, the mondeo module. Did you get something to emulate the can-bus signal or does it work without it ?

One of my Escort Club mates (how has a 1990 EFI carbio) is a photographer.
And I made some electrical repair on his car, so as a payment I got a full portfolio about my car
If you're interested:
You can check it here
The cruise control is simple as hell! (electrical way)
No CAN-BUS needed!
Only 8 cables have to be connected, and it's working!
-12V
-GND
-VSS signal
-2x to buttons
-break pedal
-clutch pedal
-instrument cluster bulb
If you want a more detailed description, pm me!
And about the GEM (General Electric Module). It's working without the cab-bus too. But you need at least 50-60 cables to connect to get everything work, and a lot of other stuff (relays, diodes, etc) to get the locks work for example. So it's not that easy
Basically I changed the whole cable system.

Hello mate, I understand better now !!!
So the GEM can operate on its own, that's good news !!!
These pictures are amazing !!! Tell your friend he did a very good job !!!
Do you work in electronics or is it just a hobby ?
