can stick more up if anyone wants!

 

Looks smart from the top. Any more pics?

 

More pictures!! I do like a nice Capri!

 

yeah i want more pics please mate and some info if ya could im going to do this to my saph

 

John, my advice is as follows:

1. befriend a good autosparky.
2. use the t5 box.
3. ditch the EGR and cats.
4. make sure you put a massive air filter on it or it'll hunt like mad and drive like you're sat inside an accordion.

i'll dig some more pics out.

 

cheers buddy will be what i want to do t5 all the way just costs a bit
but im getting all the running gear ready for the convertion

 

i got that engine in my black 3 door cosworth,its running etc but needs a tune up i aint had it on the road yet ....just wondered how it goes is it quick and smooth etc.........

 

mate ive just bought a scorpio cosworth with the bob engine but you dont see many use it........... is it a different engine or something???

love your motor mate and want to build my own but using a mk1 shell

 

heres my 3 door v6 cossie......

 

Get more pics up of your car.

 

the engine is smooth, lots of lazy torque at the bottom and revs strongly. bloody loud tho. speed wise it feels similar to an s14 200sx up to about 130. above that it's too unstable as i haven't done the brakes yet!

i think the BOB gets used less because it's harder to rewire. some people put the BOB cams in the BOA though.

that 3 door looks bloody good. google the top boss blue steel one, should be good for inspiration!

 

it does sound nice i had a custom stainless fitted to it,hope to get it on the road by end of the summer,i have fitted electric fans to it but cant find the sensor to plug them in any ideas where it is......

 

i used a dohc sierra rad and fans, was advised this is the right one to use. i bought an adjustable switch/temp sensor like the ones you get for kenlowes (the little brown box in front of the washer bottle) and had it wired in with a relay. i also had an override switch mounted to the dashto bring the fans in manually if i need to. The engine can get warm if it's driven hard then gets stuck in traffic, so it's nice to have the choice.

 

i fitted the cossie fans to it....i will do that then and a switch just in case....i got a prob with the brakes as well,i fited new brake lines on the back cos they were missing and the pedal is rock hard and dont work they been bled etc...could it be abs pump gone........

 

god knows about the brakes! i have drums on the back and no ABS.

 

haha ok mate...whats yours like off the mark are they quick

 

in the dry, very, very quick but still loses a bit of traction at launch.

in the wet it can be outwalked off the mark.

 

haha i had a moonstone 3 door cossie a couple of years ago and it stepped out in the wet all the time.they are tail happy ....

 

Noticed your in cardiff.im just up the road from you in merthyr,got a 24v xr4i,cossie yb capri and a saff.

 

do you know the score with these things cos i aint got a clue on them and not many people want to touch it

 

myns very smooth and very reliable. i would like abit more power but i do use it in my daily (p100) off the line its fine but i have 4x4.
i bought an xr4x4 and used everything off that. engine is VERY LOUD! im running like 4 boxes and i cant track day it without sticking a stupid extra box on.
get some more pics up of the capri :P

 

Yes i know a fair bit.me and my mate done all the work on ours ourselves.I done the wireing,we're now in the process of upgradeing the gearbox to mt75 as the type 9 blew to pieces with the nitrous.Any thing you need to know just ask.

 

thats a good plan lol, the type 9 isnt up to the torque of the 24v. would a t5 now work better tho?

 

definitely use the t5 box. it used to be really tricky to make it fit, but there are lots of conversion kits, bellhousings, etc. did mine a few years ago and there was a lot of head scratching, but nowadays it's so straightforward you'd be mad not to.

 

Yeah that's what I'm doin going to use bob engine with t5 box xr4x4 rear beam 4 pot brakes on front one piece prop scorpio lsd then ill think about a turbo convcertion try and get about 360+ bhp in my saph seen loads with superchargers but they are top money
