Guys

are the compression ratios the same on the small turbo escort as opposed to the big turbo escort cossie ?

i.e can I fit a small turbo escort cosworth engine into my car which is running on P8 mapped by msd, and running a T4 ?

with out the need for a remap etc ???

cheers for any help once again, Glen

would think a remap would be advisable m8 IMO

yeh cheers AJ, I think what im gonna have to do is leave it, and go for one I know has come off a Big turbo, such a shame as a lad mailed me offering me his engine and it sounds a good one, dammit

AJ Escos

prob best m8 as IIRC the small turbo head has some modifications aswell, you could always use parts off both as small turbo has a better inlet plenum and also oil spray jets onto the piston skirts which the large turbo lacks
car looks mint m8, was lookin at it myself but couldn't justify two cossies as toys at the moment

nice info thanks buddy, much appreciated, I love learning about new cars,.

thanks for the comments, and yeh TOY is the word, shame it aint built like a tonka LOL, i get the hellish feeling it will be in the workshop more than its on the road, but you gotta lovethe esco's there is nuffin like them on the roads, evil

swerv

it wont be in the workshop to much if you do things properly , if you want advice then phone MSD who mapped it and ask them about the small turbo engine , no offence to AJ but if you listen to everyone on the net then you will be here in 12 months time asking the same questions , only trying to save you time and money mate as i know the learning curve with cossies can be very expensive

thanks bud, and thanks for all for the advice, its appreciated.

dont mind admitting im new to cossies

I think I have found a group N engine with head gasket etc already done so I will go for that, cheers lads.
