cant remember if i put these up or not, but heres some pics of my new aspirated Cosworth Engine. It was built by Vulcan Engineering and made 228hp on the dyno. Im well happy with it. Should be making its way into a Escort very soon

















Manifold is by 105 Speed:

 

proper didint fancy turbo then?

 

Looks pretty serious, Ive never used slide throttles, interesting idea though.

 

nah, already got 2 of them (saff, 3dr) and didnt fancy anything laggy in a mk1 tbh.

 

Been there done that lol

About 1993 in a MkV Cortina on twin 48s

Very nice!

 

Looks the bollocks mate, This going into the Orange one.. Or you sold that. I don't know what one you have left.

 

Very nice.

 

Very nice mate, havent seen pics of the orange one, get some up, I know you moved the blue one on

 

That is going to sound so good

 

very nice.

 

There is nothing better in life then the sound of a N/A cossie lump, very jealous, I want to build one, then found out how much they cost to build, and my haert stopped lol

 

Yeah, sold the blue one end of summer. Shame, as i loved that car

its going in the orange one, but im changing the colours of it now.

this is what it looks like at the mo:

 

tell me about it

 

totally forgot about this vid. It was when it was dyno'd @ HT racing...

WOW thats a minter!!! i want one so bad!!

 

What kind of cost is an engine like this?

Mike

 

as per used on the tarmac rs2000 (mk5/6 ib4 engine ?) they worked really well, but they changed to conventional throttle body's for gravel,

something to do with different torque and power in the rev range for the different surfaces iirc !

 

personally i would have started with a different engine already n/a but i'm sure theres advantages to using the cossy lump.

i didnt get how the throttle bodies worked either till i saw the other pics

where can you get them from and what are the advantages/disadvantages as i can see them usefull in fwd applications where the bulkhead gets in the way??????

 

my slides were Custom Made by Aaron @ HT Racing in Brands Hatch, so not sure if you can get them "of the shelf" so to speak.

 

Why would you change that?

Its fucking GORGEOUS!

 

Very nice engine! What colour is the mark one going?

 

That Orange un looks far too manly for you Mike

 

cool. keep us updated on how she drives with them.

 

dunno, my old mk1 was also orange and ive gone off the colour for some reason. Looking for the "south london" look now to be honest.

 

8000rpm, MoTec, Sliders.. Nice spec!


As PM, once its done give me a shout

 

Is it on solids?

 

yes mate.

 

for fuck sake dont change anything, thats perfection

 

Agreed

What, a complete turd and packed with immigrants

 

wow, stunning car, please dont change it, its awesome!

 

cheers all

love you all one time

 

very nice mate

 

The scort and engine are both pure porn mate, leave it orange, just lower it a touch, then put some minilights on it. Been done before, but works

 

I reckon you should do it brown with minilites.
