At the moment im in the middle of my S2 zetec turbo restro and ive hit another problem this time it's with the down pipe.. I have not got room to fit the down pipe on my cosworth turbo as the alternator is in the way as you can see in pic's

If you any idea's plz post as i have a funny feeling i might need to change the manifold

 

think changing the manifold to gain better clearance might be your only option bud

 

That's what i thought first it was the intake manifold i made a bo bo with now it's this

 

Here you go, xr2 alternator and bracket.
Then just mod the cosworth single pipe exhaust to suit.
Look in my link below sig.

 

thank's for your help mate

 

 

I have been messing around with the alternator today moveing it down and there's still not room as the wire's on the alternator will be nearly touching and when i heat wrap it will be even closer do you think that if i change to a xr2 alternator & bracket that it might give me a tiny bit more room

 

defo change to the xr2 alternator and bracket, it hangs under the bracket not over, with a pipe like mine i had lots of clearance.

 

this is a pic of my ZT in my xr2 with engine pushed forwards 12mm and a sierra 90amp alternator (a few tweaks and i now have 10mm clearance from alt to crossmember).
there is more space in an escort though too.

 

where can i get a xr2 alternator & bracket from i looked on e-bay but with no joy

 

try xrtwo.com forum, lad called tonysxr should have a couple.

 

ive done this also on a s2 with a zetec using a xr2 bracket, u need to trim the anti roll bar bracket aswell ill dig out the pics

 

If you could find some pic's up that would be great
