couple of pick of me and my brothers project we have got.

it's a xr3 turbo still keeping the carb. the plan is to restore it to it's
original condition which although it look's rough body wise the
floor and chassis is in great condition no rust or rot at all

not going to make at start until spring as i am commited to other
project's at the moment but what do you think








have to excuse picture's but it is all i have for now

 

sounds good

 

Keep the MK3 alive

 

It's like the turbo techics TT conversions you got in Mk2 Fiesta XR2's

I brought one for a 100quid in 2000, and chucked the engine in my escort mk4 and slapped a T3 on for good measure. Didn't run any management or anything, just a regulator for the fuel pressure....Was about 130bhp i think, was a nice car to drive aswell

Ain't got any pictures though, was before my 'Take pictures of everything' Days

 

Love the old carbbed XR3's

 

love it

 

looks wicked mate nice little project there

 

proper rare that, original TT kit too

 

Love mk3's! Id love to restore a Mk3 Xr3i or non inj, but its just the value that puts me off as they dont hold like RS. Everyone restores S1's and 16i's, so it would be different to do a Xr3. They take me back to being about 12 or 13 i loved mk3 3is, always said id own one. But then got the RS bug

Stick some authentic cloverleafs on it

 

wicked mate! get on www.oddkiddcreations.co.uk

loads of mark 3 escort turbos on there, all you need to know

 

Keep the piccys coming

 

Interesting XR3 there matie, would look great once restored to her former glory

Good to see one of the old TT kits on there too ive got a TT turbo and home made intercooler for one of these tucked away in me shed if you need some spares

 

cheers graphite.we'l bare that in mind.always good to have spares.i haven't seen an original xr3 carbed turbo apart from this one.only xr2's.we shall post the end results next year after some hard work and lots of money no doubt.

 

thank's for comment every one

i did not have a clue what it was when i first got it thought tt but as it did
not have any tt signs on it and had ford motorsport stamped on part's
i was not sure what to make of it and it was not until a feature in fast
ford that i realised how it came about

 

 

mmanse no rust or rot at all in the floor you luck lucky man

deffo restore the mk3 and make it faster

 

old coont

 

sorry for the post hijacking but who how and where can i find this conversion?? i've got a mk1 orion with the xr3 engine in and would love to do this !!


dude.. you have to keep the mk3 escort alive !! it's the best escort out imo but then i am biased coz it's the base of my orion

 

to be honest as far as im aware these particular converions are rare.have to keep your eyes real pealed mate.good luck with the orion.

 

there is 1 for sale in bk or performance ford or u could make 1 up your self

love the car mate i had this kit on a s1bottom end on my mk3 estate made 147bhp at 0.6 bar

 

mmanse


looks wicked mate

wot air box are u using in that mate???
ive got a new never used ford motorsport air box 4 that tt kit, 4 the mk 3 escort.
its 4 sale if ur interested mate???

 

might well be have you got pic and also do you have a air filter for it?

cheers mark

lmans123

lmans123


cool mate should look well nice in its original condition

k mate let me know if ur interested

 

Big up the Mk3's

 

Cant believe nobody has said it yet...

That is NOT a Turbo Technics conversion.

If its got Ford Motorsport all over it its gonna be one of the kits intended for the XR3 turbo rally series from the early 80s!

T3 on it IIRC.

Gotta be worth a few quid, esp as the engine stuff looks proper good nick

The TT stuff has TT on the carb hat amongst other plaes.

 

Itsmeagain


i thought it woz a motorsport kit

as ive got the ford motorsport air box anr RS carb intake


a very very rare bit of kit

 

U just cant beat 3 mk3 escort.. keep up the good work..

 

That air box is

 

Twins

gonna sell it mate, woz gonna put it in my xr2, but its bit 2 big 4 my car

 

thats the one

 

yes mate interested

 

You know if its the proper motorsport one you could turn it into an 83 Turbo Championship rally car rep gotta be done

 

thats not a bad idea.what do you all think.road original or balls out rally car?

 

i like your thinking
