Heres ma motor....
Just finished turbo'd it the day, completey standard apart from full stainless and filter...well chuffed as first turbo conversion i have done.

Looks abit ruff under the bonnet but wanted to just get running then will start tydyin her up!!

It running very low boost at mo....so i dont blow it up lol!!
Comments welcome!

 

nice clean orion m8,and welcome 2 pf!!!

 

been on ere for a while matey...

Cheers well chuffed with her!!

 

like it mate

my mate has a mk2 orion, but he's got a slight water link in the back,... have you had this problem?
if so, where was it coming from??

 

Cheers taz....not had this prob yet ( fingers firmly crossed) lol

Ruffly where about it is coming from, could be a number of things?

 

not exactly sure tbh, it's leaking from the bulk head aswel around the battery tray, and on the other side near the wiper motor i think.

but the back jus seam's to be a mistory
was leaking from the boot, but we took the seal off and put sealent around it and put it back on, and moved the boot about abit, so all the line's wer equal, and no daylight gettin thro, that does'nt seam to be leaking anymore, but there's still abit of water gettin in the back where the back seat is

jus cant seam to find where it's gettin in

 

Check around the sunroof area to mate...

The battery tray and fuse box area is bad on all mk4 escort front ends due to the small rubber stopper on the lip on each wing, where the bonnet rests...this stops the water running down the lip...instead it falls of and rest in batt tray and under fuse box!!

Cut a small bit out each like a wee tunnel so water can travel down rain gutter!!!

Prob solved lol

 

nice motor mate

 

YOU BEEN COPYING??
LOL

 

get rid of that chav vlave

 

agreed

 

Very nice

 

chav valve?e.g dump valve?my version hasnt i think his has

 

Your mate's water leak could also be caused by a faulty rear window seal, or possibly rust around the rear window somewhere, that's getting common. If it's got water in the boot at all it could also be rear light seals as they're pretty crappy. Sounds more like something to do with the rear window to me though

 

Love it...

 

Cheers folks....

As for the 'chav' valve i like it so iam keeping it..lol, although its my first turbo so thinking the novelty will wear off and i need to get a crossover pipe without that take off as i aint got a plug for it the now!

 

Looks nice


Brian

 

looks good mate, will you be bringing it along to the meet next month in Dundee..?

 

But he runs EFI so his car won't run like a dog with one fitted

Get it off though mate, will chatter its little tits off

 

Yeah hopefully mate....just waitin/watchin to see where it is going to be held and when!!

I will take it off, just when i get a crossover pipe without the take off or a plug for it!! heard alot about the famous Efi chatter!!!!

 

going back to your leaky boot i had the same problem, it aparantly runs down the gap between the boot and qaurter and in through the lights, i just sealed the back lights with silicone n never had a drop since, tasty mota by the way

 

motor looks fantastic!!! a definate sleeper if ever i saw one
