Hi mates!

I asked you some questions before, now I'm showing you my car. It's still far away from the final stage, but slowly it's getting prettier

So it's an MK3 XR3i, from 1984.



Engine:
10.0:1 compression
288/280 camshaft, adjustable pulley
Polished inlet and exhaust ports
Heat-shielded downpipe
Rocker cover painted red



Suspension:
Bilstein shock absorbers
Deflex bushes

Interior:
Oil pressure and battery voltage gauge
Gearknob with Ford logo from Ebay



Future plans:
Converting K-Jetronic to Weber DCNF-s like Geree's Fiesta

Originally it was silver, but was painted over before I bought it, with poor quality, now it looks so:



So complete chassis repair and new colour will follow as well. (Planning graphite grey of RS1600i's).

 

Looks very interesting! go with graphite grey you wont be going wrong there

Keep it up

 

Looks very nice and welcome to pf

 

Nice XR there matie

good choice for the new colour

 

Nice one.

And please don't throw out the K-Jet. The Webers won't bring you more power and don't look so good!

 

K-Jet provides a lots of problems, vacuum leaks, system pressure regulator etc. (I already met some, and asked in the Q&A section.) It is impossible to get new parts, or when there are some left at Bosch, they cost more than the car itself. Getting used ones is neither a solution.
That's the first reason.

Second reason is, that is cannot provide enough fuel for me, it would be more powerful with this camshaft, but it needs more fuel. And it makes faster response to any movement on the pedal

And the look: my personal opinion is, that the carbs look good with K&N's.
K-jet doesn't look good anyway...

 

1. Vacuum leaks? use some new gaskets and hoses, they don't cost much
2. System pressure regulator: you can use also VW/Audi ones.

New parts are not cheap, but used parts do their work many more years

It provides more than enough fuel for a 308° camshaft

 

As the original version, or with somehow increased fuel pressure?

Anyway, does anyone know how much fuel a K-Jet injector can transport (cc/min), and what is the factory setting for the pressure regulator?

 

Pics shown above.

Cam is not an original Schrick, but a professional copy of it.
245€ is real for the genuine one, it was about the half of it.

 

looks really nice that mate p.s im halve hungarian my dad was from hungary and my name is laszlo and i cant speak a word of hungarian

 

No problem, most of us from Hungary using this forum speak (or write) but at least can read and understand english

 

you only paid half???

i want one too!!!!!

 

We have a workshop here, they do it. (and also complete engines for road, rally, etc.)

But keep in mind, that it's done from my original cam, so it's not a new one.
