If you got the skills, why not pop something in nearly as good and a whole load cheaper...

Take a 1.6 CVH Sierra...



Fab up some mounts and shit..


And put this in...




Hey presto, a 2litre 16v turbo engine good for over 400bhp on std internals with decent reliability in a Sierra, and its not a YB!

 

but its not a real ford now if it dont break down

 

:top

Dare to be diffrent

 

Cool

If its for drifting i would seriously consider the calibra turbo motor.

 

why chip?

he did say he thought of a vaux engine, but the SR came up on ebay dead cheap

 

MUCH smooth power delivery than a YB as it comes on boost, can be bought for a grand incluiding management and turbo, and still capable of 300bhp on a set of chips wit ha decent FMIC

plus spare parts price:
std/std crank = 50 quid tops
decent nick head = 100 quid tops


Its just a lot of engine for the money

and has a great oil pump as standard too, and you can get steel rods for like 300 quid cause the N/A one gets used in motorsport all the time, same for stuff like dry sumps, really well catered for.

 

I always like something that is different

cool i wanna see it go

 

LOVE it (this is the guy that you have put vids up of him drifting as well isn't it? ).

 

Only sierra drifting i think ive ever put up was Mike (MJG) when he had the blue Sierra.
Hes got a 3.5litre BMW drifter now. He hates S-body stuff so he'd never put an engine from one in a ford!
And he only 20 (just an amazing driver) the guy in them pics looks 30odd.

 

I was sure you put vids of a white one drifting around a roundabout . Senility setting in early .

 

I remember that, it was a video though not jut pics.

Cant remember who put it up though

 

It was me, i remember now, it was James or BonBon in some old shitter of a Sierra they had as a daily drive, wasnt a drift car, just 2 good drifters in an old nail

Different car.

 

Fair enough, mike himself prematurely then.

 

Interesting. Has he been geeky enough to document much about the conversion?
