...your OE airbox for noise reduction, then here is the cure .

Obviously the standard airbox is only 65mm intake, which is too small for the 76mm hose required for the T4. However, the entry into the Escort airbox is actually 87mm, but features a glued in plastic reducer.



This can be cut off and removed, leaving the full 87mm entry hole.



We then do a billet alloy machined intake adapter that pushes in to this and sleeves down to the correct 76mm for the T4.









This does actually push in fully, but it is a bitch to get out, so I didn’t push it fully home .

We also do one that allows the fitting of a GT30 / GT35 (100mm) hose to the standard airbox – obviously the entry is reduced to 85mm where it goes into airbox, but it allows the fitting of a proper 100mm hose whilst retaining the OE look and sound reduction .

Combined with this, is a complete cure for all your T4 on an Escort Cosworth issues

Any pics of the sleeved 'up' one (100mm) Mike??

I had a measure a while ago and don't think it's much bigger than the airbox diameter??

 

good stuff from you latley Mike

 

that first pic!

the insulation tape around there.

i did that on my air filter pipe and it sucked it off the alloy trumpet and fooked my turbo up.






so please don't have any tape near the induction side, buy one of them off Mike.

 

AVA just made something like this for Jam's(Escorton8's) escort..

BTT for the Yeti .

 

Shame that beautifully made roose hoses for fitting of the recir to complement this DOESNT COME IN F***ING 100mm OUTLETS!!

You should of specified this being the salesman that you are!!

 

I didn't know until I asked yesterday .

 

Well I take it as you are in the running for 'businessman of the year' you'll be looking into remedying this for us GT owners!

 

I have one of Mike's airbox adaptors on mine cos I couldn't be arsed making one myself!! lol.


Just did this to mine Jase:-



Crap pic but you get the jist of it I think!! Mind you I have the DV spout welded on my intercooler just under the main outlet (TB side) so you can only just see the bit of pipe going back into the airbox lid. Much neater in my opinion.

The hose itself has all been trimmed up now as well

 

Good thinking batman!!

I REALLY REALLY dont want a fucking chav valve on mine, so thats spot on in my eyes!

Nice one Kev!

 

This is the adaptor AVA made for me a while back

 

Does the ducting to the standard Escort Cosworth Airbox still work when you install an RS500 spec Intercooler lads?.

I ask this as I'm about to buy an Escort Cosworth and I had the problem with my Sapphire (when I installed the RS500 spec Intercooler on my Sapphire I had to remove the factory ducting that ran from my grill into the airbox so all I was left with was an airbox with a square hole in in right next to the turbo ).
Hence the only reason I put a K&N pod filter on my Sapphire.

By the looks of things and the pics you guys have posted it's much better to keep the factory airbox than go to a pod filter right?

 

Yes it does mate, Mine ran a Radtec 500 IC and standard airbox!

And its used to prevent heatsoak from the engine bay!

Do me a favour please and send me some internet links of turbo suppliers in NZ preferably Auckland area, I'm getting my agent over there to send me some bits!

 

^

Will do mate, i live in Auckland also

Would you prefer these links via PM or email or should I just post them on here.
Is it not cheaper to buy that stuff in the U.K?

 

No mate, much cheaper for me to get sent over here via my agents!

Can you email them over to me please, I'll PM you my address!

 

Yeti Racing
no dump valve on yours? i thought on the gt series turbo's you had to run one. because they are fragile compared to the normal t series?even a recirculating one.

i await my

 

I want to run a recirculating dump valve Neil....and not a chav valve! (thought you'd be down with the lingo bruv innit!! ).































Oh by the way!

 

Yeti Racing
sorry jase im not a chav. thought you meant you didnt want to run one full stop.
i get shot down in flames on this


but even though im a thick cunt i am right

 

Yeah baby looking back you are right! I'll take one of these for myself then!

I'm deffo running a dumpvalve mate, just not the wooshing kind!

 

i fooking hate atmospheric dump valves.im borrowing an evo 6 at the moment and that has one.does my head in! but other than that the car is the bollox.i see why people rate them so highly,just doesnt have the character of a cossie
