thanks Will!! ja me and my dad did everything at home, i built the engine myself as my father doesnt work on engines! hes a fitter by trade so i had to teach myself, and my friends said the engine wont last very long coz i was only 19 when i did the conversion!!
but i proved them wrong as im driving her like this now for 2 years without any kak!!

Retro Ford had a turbo crossflow project a while back, don't know what came of it though.

Thanks guys!! ja she is quite a sleeper...
At Saff1, shes making 125hp@wheels on 0,6bar and 195Nm of torque!!
At Ford Fan, where do you stay??
At PIG, iva seen youre car in the classic ford and shes bliksems hot!! The work youre doing on her is bloody neat!!
People here in SA always do Twincam or EGI turbo engines in the Escos but i decided to rather turbo the XFlow!! And it was worth it!!
