1.6 Bored to 1.9 Carb to Turbo Conversion.
I have a E reg S2 Escort RS Turbo Cabbie. The escort engine has been fooked as when it was rebuilt it wouldnt run under load and misfired after tickover. I had a mobile RS engineer come look at it too set up fueling and confirmed my timing marks but still no power. After getting rather fooked off, I needed the car moved and I got a 1.6 carb escort engine which was bored out to 1.9 and whacked that in.
After more problems and expense my cabbie is finally running.
I have looked at the turbo engine and I have found that when i turn the camshaft over the valves are not moving very much and I have been wondering if this may have been my problem all along.
As I have the 1.9 I want to turbo that. It is not a low compression block so will i have to fit a compression plate to lower the compression or can I just bolt the turbo and the MFI injection system to it then have the fuelling set up again to match the 1.9.
Please people please cant you see I need lots of help.
Please help me I just want a f**king turbo that runs.
