AWESOME!

Cracks me up that in the UK people spend tons of cash and all these ideas and get crap, and in scandinavia they knock up something much better for no money and no time.

Bit of thought and not copying everyone else goes a long way

 

We have spent about 2500 Euro on this projekt(car and everything).. and it will kick a lot of cosworthts

 

some build pics,

 

...and built in 8 days too!!! sounds fucking WICKED

 

In those 8 days We even change the Engine from 2.0 pinto to 2.9 v6, and gearbox from type9 to mt75

 

haha thats immense, well done chaps

 

Saw this on the swedish fordforum. Didn't you use to have a is-turbo before the v6 ?

Love the project. Keep posting vids!

 

no aeroquip, no crap you dont need, no tiny little turbos strangling the v6 like usual, just a proper built by people who know what they doing

loving where both exhausts exit from too

 

Beast!!!!!

 

jupp

here is the old engine.

 

Awesome!!!! Far better than a car thats had £1000s wasted on it!!

 

Today is weld day

the differential need to be weld :P

 

thats cool!

 

Thats one nuts build for 2500euros



Like the exhaust piping as well, proper side exit

 

Me too

 

or like you said earlier, not following what everyone else is doing, thinking outside the box

side pipes a cool, well probably quite hot actually

 

A lot easier to do being lhd, unless you got a bias pedal box on rhd. I used to love my turbo technics twin turbo xr4i (2.9 conversion), but i think the 5.0 chevy v8 i have is much better suited to producing the power in a sierra.
What power is it producing?

 

can i ask, is that a xr4i engine with a turbo conversion? im not clued up much on these

 

Crazy as cat shit, good work lads!!

 

thats a 2.9 v6 engine found in xr4x4s and glsi's from about 88 in the UK, not sure about other european countrys. could also be from a granada

xr4is had a 2.8 v6 2drs and later the 4drs used a 2.0 8v twincam

oh early xr4x4s used the 2.8 and some late ones came with the 2.0 again

 

beasty

 

Anyone else notice that its not a '3dr' front end?

 

yeah mk2 3dr, love them, cool car!

 

It makes around 400hp i think

The exhaust bin rebuild to 3" all the way yesterday, 2.5" from DP on the pics.

Engine comes from a 1989 5 door cc 2.9.

Tonight i need to get more tires to the car. pics later..

 

LOL thats awsome

 

europe ( not the uk ) had 2dr mk2s from factory

 

i think it is the most ugly after the 5door cc

 

Love it

 

Is the engine standard??

 

Yep

 

friday night pics.

 

fair play for building that in 8 days

 

That is the tits love the side exit and screamer

 

Same as I was thinking. Great thinking exiting the exhaust there. Looks stock

 

Race movie @ 201m..

http://www.garaget.org/video/ypf2lj568pem

Me vs. sierra cosworth 330 kit, 1.6 bar.

the 2.9T got wheelspinn all over the 201m line whit Mickey thompson dragradials, 235x65x15"

 

Nice sleeper

I was under the impression that the 2.9 had weak pistons that limited the amount of boost you can ran, do you get away with 1.2 bar because of ethanol running cooler and the fact that it is running such a big turbo?

What revs does it start making boost at ?

cheers

Mark

 

not the best pistons, but if there no det and no lean running, wouldnt matter a fuck

 

and if it does let go, a replacement engines about £25, not sure how common the 2.9 is in sweden tho

 

In sweden you pay about 100 euros for a nice 2.9 engine
