As title, I have bought one of 'laceys' external pump set up's but the pump is fouling my anti-roll bar. Has anyone fitted any others or know of any fitted to a mk3/4 escort with a zetec turbo ? I wanted to go for 450ish bhp but if I can't find a way i'll have to stick around the 400bhp mark. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Which anti roll bar setup you using

 

Just a series 2 roll bar

 

Dan arrowsmith is don't no his username off hands it may be danr8t?

 

I think dan has a cut up s1 alloy cross member but no arb

 

Would not having an anti roll bar effect the handling alot ? Anyone know his user name ?

 

alot of people say that you dont need one

i have one one mine and wouldnt run without it
i think they get away with no arb by running stiffer springs to compensate for body roll
im running a softer spring and an arb

but

im yet to test this lol

 

Don't have a arb front or rear, using a mef setup

But I haven't had it setup yet

 

I ain't got a arb on my cosworth but I do have the legs strapped so there is no droop but this can have its own issues

 

Does anyone on an escort mk3/4 use compression struts ? like the mk1 escort where they mount to the chassis under the bulkhead ?

 

Think maybe stu Collins

 

Just found that out talking to him now thanks

 

I'm wanting to run the compression struts set up could you post some pic's up if you do it cheers

 

Can you post some pic's on mate ?

 

Going up to the garage later so will get some pictures

 

Just thinking but could the pump be mounted where the cvh alternator sits?

 

It use two threads in the black top upper sump to mount it. My alternator sits above where the pump needs to be and theres def no way of raising where the pump can sit.

 

Nice one !

 

mine should have a pretty funky set up when done

pump sits where the alt was and thats moving to run of the cam

 

Sounds good it's the way to go nice to not have to worry about oil pump failure.

 

im till cvh so its not that big a worry

with mine its more the weak head
hopefully i cured that with my roller rockers

 

You using the cvh alternator?

 

No sir

It's a little tiny nismo type

 

No is s1cab using a cvh alt on is zetec

 

I right. I will wind me neck in then

 

Tbh not 100% i think its a zetec one

 

 

So its mounted under the inlet?

 

No under exhaust manifold. Must be cvh
