Hello i want to make my escort rs turbo into a track car how much will it cost how much is it for a 2.1 zvh engine and what engine management shall i get thanks.

 

keep the 1600 cvh and properly sort the brakes and handling first dude!

 

can i get 200bhp at the front wheel from a 1.6cvh and are they raliable.

 

yeah they are relatively reliable up to 200. you can tune them a lot further than that but it costs and you sacrifice a little reliability!

 

i am currently doing this,
I bought a 1989 RS 61k 2 owners,
and have done the following
New cambelt
Piper 285 cam
Verneir pully
New tappets
New stem seals
Full zosrt and filter
Stripped the inside
fitted a half cage
harnesses, sorted dash
bought and pre-fitted gauges
cossie2wd cooler
new alternator
cossie fan switch and overide
oil cooler
prepping a cossie bumper as well to take the coolers
stickered half the car up

Just got my adjustable suspension yesterday
gotta fit my grooved discs
gotta fit the cossie cappilers and do a rear disc conversion
polybush the car
and rear strut brace (if i can find one)



I was gonna junk the engine, but after getting good advice from hear froms Nutsrus basically I am going for mild power and gonna make sure it handles and stops and then i learn to properly cane the car through the track once i have this mastered i can go for more power cos big power is no good if you
A) cant stop
b) can handle
c) cant control the car on the track

i hope this helps

 

100% agree Gra!

if i was doing a track car then i would go down that route!

 

I have got koni suspension i need some big brakes whats the best brakes to get and i want it to have rear disks brakes to how much will it cost to have a full engine rebuild with uprated parts i want 200bhp at the wheels and about the same toque.Are escort rs turbo good on the track

 

Get some slicks and a baffled sump too

Dont take Matts advice on track cars,hes a bufty boy

 

Ditch all the interior
Buy some good brakes
Buy a bucket seat
Buy a harness
Buy some decent suspension (billies etc.) and bushes (poly)
Leave the engine standard for a while.

Its surprising how well it can go just by doing these simple things.

 

my s2 has been bored out to 1700 with mohale pistons the top of the piston's have been skimmed, the head is standard, it's been fitted with a pace intercooler piper cross air filter and a s/s exhaust, im running 10 psi or 17 psi wiyh stage 2 it goes well and my standard gearbox has not giving me any hassle

 

Why would anyone want to track an escort ?

Gra if you only have those 5 jobs left to do you could have it all done by tomorrow afternoon

As above, concentrate on safety, stopping, and handling BEFORE even thinking about lifting the bonnet and looking at the engine.

 

why would anyone want to track a focus ?????

 

I am hoping to have all but the rear disc finished by Sat, but i have changed my mind on the gauges again so am ripping out this set and buying some when i pop over to new york in Dec, the rear disc cant be done cos i am waiting delivery of the spacer plates. but i am just toooo lazy tho

 

Lazy coooont

 

hello mr kettle, its the pot, yeah & your BLACK!!

 

OK OK,i may have polished the S1 once or twice
