Hi

sorry for posting here in Turbo section but im afraid i wont be getting performance help in other sections .. please sorry for that

My car is Ford Escort MK2 1.3 1977 Front Square Light Model.

im restoring the car these days and i want to upgrade the performance side....please watch this video first -
there is a problem somewhere.now the petrol doing like 6 around for a liter..so im thinking to upgrade the carbs + ignition also....i list some ignition parts and What i want to know is what are carb upgrades i can do

for a some what low price and the places i can buy them in UK...what are the things i can do upgrade performance?

your tips are highly appreciate

thank.

 

Best upgrade possible is to fit a larger engine

I recommend fitting a 1.6 x-flow with electronic ignition and a mild road performance cam and twin 40 dcoe webber carbs

It will cost too much to get power from the 1.3

For any engine work I recommend a friend of mine Wayne at WPE ( wacky performance engines) he built a friend of mines 187bhp x-flow

For any more questions don't hesitate to ask bud, I used to have a aspirated cosworth powered mk2 a few yrs ago and miss it like I lost a limb

 

thank you very much for the information sir...well im in Sri Lanka ... what ever i buy from UK and im gonna ship them to me...

"1.6 x-flow with electronic ignition and a mild road performance cam and twin 40 dcoe webber carbs"

absolutely awesome but how much these things cost?

i have some thing around 1500GBP

 

Hate to see what the shipping costs will be for an engine, you'll need the gear box etc.

I dont think that'll be enough money, the Cam kits arent cheap either.

 

Type 9 sierra 5 speed and quick shift is all that will need with a 4.1 crown wheel and pinion in the rear diff

Speak to Wayne I think he could help you out with what ever you need
