Here's a short history of my cossie:

i got hold of sierra sapphire 4x4 cosworth without an engine, so I decided to install a regular OHC Pinto engine + turbo. Now I have managed to get the car running and driven first 300km.. The specs for the car are following:

2.1L pinto block , 93mm bore with ford V6 pistons, cosworth conrods.
8.5:1 compression rate.
Noname T3 turbo.
All cosworth sensors.
Standard dark blue fuel injectors.
Red-top L8 ecu, but I got an closed-loop L8 with MSD chip,but its for 803's, so next thing I'm going to change the injectors - or have the chip remapped.

 

got any more pics??

 

whats the power?

 

Same as above get more photos up.Its just a complete cossie without the engine.

 

nice car m8 engine makes a refreshing change a m8 of mine had a turbo pinto on motec management in his mk2 rs2000 had over 500bhp .

 

Well, no power measurements until I get my MSD closed loop chip - I'm afraid the current red-top L8 might get something wrong - sometimes I get fuel cutoff when trying to accelerate too fast etc. But it was fun to drive on the ice anyway

 

 

A few updates..
Installed MSD closed loop chip, and very-very happy with it
Better everything, even cold starts, and much better mileage.
Another useful addition was the Quaife torsen front diff.
Today I'm going to install the ALS upgrade, not really necessary in everyday driving,but nice to have anyway
