You're on

Got most of the EFI wiring now, turbo here we come

 

Dan mate - they sure are Ford ones, been on the car since new

They are contoured to fit the back bumper, look as said, keep an eye on ebay, i doubt you can still get them new

 

Some more i found in my photobucket:

He sold it to our mate who made it into a track car with carb'd Zetec



Mine and my mate's Eclipses





Bro's first car - 1.1 bonus but with RS bits




Gotta love mk4s

Big up for the Bonus's

Nick mate are you missin a hose from intercooler to cross over in last pic???

 

Seeing as the other two are at it. Here is mine......

heres mine its a 1.6 sport

how it was when i got it about 6 months ago




and after my work here it is now just in need of buffing

 

these pics are old normal ones that i had to take with my camera

sorry about quality lol

was my 2nd escort started life as 1.3l even had tilt/slide factory sunroof

ended up using rst everything running around 190bhp

lowered 60mm on jamex shocks and springs

17s league tantrums painted black

was a rite good sleeper

 

xr4x4rs
really like that

 

At the start it was like this,a 1.4 L .....

I then stripped every nut off it....

And rebuilt it into this

All RST running gear,engine,caged up etc

Its well known on the trackday scene.
All the best,Micky

 

Question for all those that have done an engine swap in a mk4, what did you put in and how easy was it to do?? what did you need to change?

 

Mine went from 1.3 crossflow to 1800 zetec to 2.0 zetec but its pretty similar.....

zetec bolted straight up to cvh box so cradle under gearbox bolted in fine, used a modified cvh rear engine mount and that was engine in place, used all EFi management from donor XR3i (just spliced engine loom into original car loom) used mk5 exhaust manifold and downpipe (to run lambda sensor) then cut and shut to fit mk4 exhaust, used mk4 XR3i radiator (need to put t piece in as zetec radiator has 3 outlets and cvh one only has 2) used cvh alternator and bracket but with zetec pulley, think thats it!

Really good conversion - torquey Zetec suits the weight and character of the mk4 shell perfectly - gimme a shout if you want to clarify anything

 

Love those two white ones btw

 

Testing to see if i can correctly post up a pic!!!

Nope clearly not !

Nope i am clearly the most stupid person on Urth. Wat the hell am i doing wrong?!!

 

I'll give it 1 more try!

 

My GOD i rule! She's undergone a few changes since this was taken, these being:

*clear front indicators & side repeaters

*Zetec S alloys 15" off fiesta mk 5 i believe

& now the most of my work has been focused on restoring her underneath. I'll do a post on that so not to ram this full of those pics.

 

 

Got there in the end! Looks nice
