Hi All,

Just Picked Up A MK5 Escort With A Series II Rs Turbo Lump, And Have A Few Questions.

1)Someone Has Fitted A Bleed Valve And The Boost Guage Spins Round To About 2.0 Bar When Accelerating. (The Engines Standard By The Way)

2)Is It Common For The CVH Turbo Engine To Keep Spitting Spark Plugs Out? No.3 Keeps Coming Out For Some Reason. Threads Good In The Head And Tightened The Plugs To The Correct Torque.

3)Another One Of Its Party Tricks Is Blowing Its Oil Cap Off Common ?

Cheers

Steve

 

Dont sound like a good engine at all And will probably need a rebuild



Running to much boost for the engine...Also im guessing that it has a standard intercooler aswell

As for the reasons...

1, The bleed valve is more than likely open all the way , so the engine is running to much boost ( like you say )

2, can only think this is a compression problem

3, Could be a number of reasons... Oil breathing / water not circulating


Not to sure to be honset.. but either way, its not looking god...

 

Take it to a tuner ASAP!

 

fuckin ell, ~30psi std engine? pmsl bye bye (bet it shifts!! altho i reckon gauge must be dodgy, isnt a TIM is it?)
sounds to me your lucky its throwing the sparkplug out rather than a rod if its accurate!!

but theres something cronically wrong with it mate, needs looking at and as rad says reckon the engine is fubared

 

One Problem I've Just Found, The Cooling Fan Blows Air Away From The Rad Instead Of Sucking It Through

Quality Motor This One, Good Job Its Only My Project

 

2bar will blow your engine, turn the bleed vale right the way in.

are they correct plugs? sounds too small?

heavy breathing - blocked breather/fucked piston rings

 

Its Gone Pop In A Big Way Now

Searching For A Good Standard Engine, If Anyone Has One Kicking About

 

Ouch, too late!

 

matter of time

 

Least I Can Start Afresh Now, Have Searched The Forums, Cant Really Find A Spec Above Standard That Will Maintain Reliability.

I'm Not Looking For Mega Power, Just A Bit Over Standard Really.

Anyone Care To Throw Some Suggestions Into The Mix ?

 

180bhp is a piece of piss on a good engine and should suffer no reliability issues over normal.

Sorry to hear it went pop

 

i was gonna say is the amal valve connected? people sometimes tend to unplug it wen theyve fitted a bleed valve which surely means the cars boost is all over the shop

 

sorry to hear it mate, was inevitable tho!

 

Think at 2bar it was a case of 'When' not 'If' mate, good luck with finding a new engine

 

was it the stolen recovered mk5b off ebay rs turbo'd?

jess that thing got relisted some times

 

engine in the back of fast ford mag (jan,800 quid,all new bits says!

or a brand new one from ford a grand!

 

whilst engine nakered go full hog

and go 230bhp with a rebuild

i dont regret it one bit

 

you sound suprised its blown up!!!!
