Last winters project was to fit an Eaton 45 charger, intercooler and water injection. I have left the CR as standard as I not running much boost - about 5 psi, until next winter.
Today it got it's ticket

makes me miss my old mk1 escort , had a v6 lump,.

 

Excuse my language, but that is FUCKING gorgeous

what kinda power output are you estimating with 5psi?

 

VERY NEAT




but i dont get what you've welded up ?


was that just an extra bit cut off to clear body?


and how is it mounted to the inlet

 

I saw that car in teesside park the other week, where you from m8?
also even at the time I wondered hw it was on an R plate?

nice conversion BTW

steve

 

like this alot!!!

 

Thats crying out for Bubble archs and a nice set of wide Super lights

Nice engine work

 

From the look of thing's it's just to clear the super charger underneath. Not cut a massive ammount off, but looks like it will restrict it a little?

What sort of power do you think you'll get? 190 or so..

What are you doing for fueling?

 

Interesting project, but the 1st thing I noticed, as Steve above, how do you get an "R" plated Mk 1? I know of MK IIs that have earlier MK 1 plates transferred, but never the other way round?

 

think that may be a bit off a sleeper cuz it still looks pretty standard on the outside lovely car an the engine bay is superb
