Hello.

I am Tommy from Norway.
first time on this forum


I have a Escort MK4 cabrio - xr3i.


I want to do an easy turbo convertion on this.
just the easy way, gaining 10 - 15 % horsepower


I need to buy some parts.
(turbo manifoild for example)
anyone here that could help me?


my questions is.
how do i do it with the original fuel system?
how could i get with oil to the turbo?

hope anyone could help me

Best Regards
Tommy.

 

is it mfi or efi

 

do a search. Plenty of info on it , i know as just done the conversion.

 

MFI
(or K-jet, or what people call it)

 

then you might could help me?

 

Easiest way is get a donor erst and just swap it all over. Thats what we done. I already had a donor car (1 owner example) that was completely rotten and even tho i havent got it running spot on as it needs setting up(but i can drive it)its a wicked conversion to do and its only running standard.

 

donor car is ExPeNcIvE in norway

 

how many PSI could i use on original set up engine

 

Have you got the 90 bhp KE-Jetronic one (does it say you can use 91 octane fuel in the manual)? That one's only running a 8.5:1 compression ratio so (with correct fueling) it should easily cope with 0,5 Bar (8 PSI)

 

Hi tommy
I think rs turbo conversion would be most easy thing do do.
How much donor car would cost in norway? If you buy every bit for proper turbo system it would cost same as donor rs turbo, and you can grap all nice parts from it.. like alloys etc.

 

i was beliving there was 115 hp in my or something
