Default Engine bay pictures

Has anyone got some pictures of their 90-spec (EFI, not MFI) turbo engine bays?

Any with detail would be even better.

Am currently working on a cunning plan....

Well, I am helping a friend in work rebuild his S1.

We are going EFI (yep, standard mod), but am hoping to go aftermarket management, etc... and a few other bits and pieces.

Problem is that the car came with no engine, gearbox, etc... and I want to work some ideas out in my head before we go and get parts for it.

It is already going with the '90-spec washer bottle, late fuel filter up on the inner wing and some other various modifications as it goes along.

I am just one of these people that like to check and measure everything about 5 times before finally deciding....

@ Turbo-Beal:

Is that alternator a 90A Sierra one?



And yep, these are the sorts of pics I am thinking of.

I am looking for ideas for places I can locate things and way I can improve on the standard items.

We are looking @ staying EFI but using the same engine management that is on Christian @ APTs white RST, so wiring will not be a problem.

The idea behind the whole car is to make it look as standard(ish) as possible (yes, I know it will be EFI, not MFI) whilst looking as if Ford had intended it to be there, whilst incorporating lots of little "differences".

Things like the modified front panel where the front-mount 'cooler will be. Most people cut the panel with a grinder until it all fits, we are looking @ making it neat and with a beaded edge on the panel so there is no sharp edge, for example.

Water pump will be another item. Am hoping to use a MK4 water pump (better impeller) on a MK3, which may involve a custom radiator pipe outlet. All these little things that I cannot visualise ATM.

Alternators, etc.. different inlet designs and angles are another thought.

Lot of little things that you can only work out from looking @ other 'bays and seeing what they have done.

@ Gus: throw some pics up. You never know, they may contain exactly what I am looking for
