If you have one what mods have you done to it and did you notic the benefit?

Mines converted to 4x4 cossie spec and have not yet sorted a zorst or filter setup.
I'm a bit botherd about heat soak so will be thinking hard before a cone filter goes on

 

I have mate

In hot weather the cone is a no no but it sill sounds the dog's

In cold weather it much better

 

Another Derby 24v !

Does yours have quad lights now?

 

Calling mr galbladder

 

me

mine's got a zorst+filter but its been like this since i bought it so dunno the benefits

fitted nitrous to the thing and currently only on a measly 75bhp shot...

...it pulls like a train!

but then the bottle runs out

as for exhaust you have 2 options... 1) use a 2.9 12v exhaust and modify one of the 24v manifolds to fit

2) get a complete custom exhaust made up to fit the granada downpipes

mines on option 2, but most people got with the 1st as its cheap and easy

there is a full spec list n a few pics in the plictures+video galery of mine if you interested.

 

custom zorst refittted by me

 

that was fookin funny

 

, now answer ya pms

 

Ging,

is that your new car in your siggi?

alex

 

No Psjpro

thats a J reg one,

I know the owner though

 

Fitz was driving that one last night??????

 

i beleive fitz has just got himself tiffs old red one, so probably

 

my dads got one but its as standard as the day it was born.

 

ford never made a 24v cossie sierra so do you meen just a std conversion

 

So is that one a std 12v XR or is it converted?

 

tiffs was a 24v

 

i never said it was a sierra,the topic said-HAS ANYONE GOT A 24V COSSIE.

 

i'm having one built twin turbo in a sapphire cossie but's that's all i can say 4 now

 

Jim

Now what are you on about


I had a 24v Cosworth Granada Estate in Green

 

Tiffany,

theres a user on interford called Tiff, i think thats what Jim was reffering to.

 

Oh right

 

I have

 

heres a pic of my mates TT 24v its in a 4x4 sierra .

 

 

thats dodgers motor yeah?

LOVELY enginebay

i cant stand the rest of the car, but each to their own

 

what that turbod one not be quicker than a cossie.. relatively std to std

 

Does anyone have a 3.7 conversion on one of those 24v cossie lumps? I remember reading the Power Engineering blurb on one of those, sounded awesome, so much torque.

 

i do but no mods ..............................yet

 

turbo 24v (std lump, just bolton turbo) vs std cossie

24v will piss it, they make about 300bhp easy

but then a turbo 24v is hardly a standard engine anymore really is it. so not a fair comparison.

 

how cum theres not as many about.. sheer hassle with the fitting etc?

 

nobody produces an "off the shelf" bolt on conversion

so cost is an issue.

ts not like with the 12v ones where turbotechnics made conversions for em you can pick up for a few hundred notes, youre looking ata fair old wedge to get all the manifolds and pipeowrk made up + management etc. etc. etc.

its the main reason i'm not going down that route... cost

 

I defo won't be going the turbo way forward as it only does 38miles to Ł10 worth of fuel around town but tis fun and i do use the car as my daily run around

As for 24v versus a std cossie then yeah a std none turbo 24v will run even with a std saph coss.
I tryed it against a 2wd E reg saph and my 4x4 kept up no probs

 

How would a 3.7 24v go against a turbo 24v then?

 

dunno, never seen a 3.7 24v only a 3.7 12v

 

Don't know but i think the back axel would snap though

 

I think mine is going 3.2. A 3.7 bottom end is sooooooo expensive. If anyone knows where I can pick one up for decent money then I'll go for it....
I'm looking for 270+ BHP and 270+ lb ft to go with it normally aspirated, running a different plenum chamber, ported heads and cam timing mods, tubular fanimolds and remapped EEC-IV / Unichip....
