I know that it was offered from the main Dealer in Redditch aka Brooklyn RS Ford

What was the spec on the Brooklyn 2.4 conversion?

Who did the work?

Was it covered on the cars warrenty?

 

If it uses the same crank as the 2.4 conversions I have seen, it is a normally aspirated long throw crank that was only rated to 400lb ft of torque .

I have seen one in two pieces that had a T4 bolted to the engine .

 

Is that Norf*ck for seen?

Knew you'd be first to reply to this topic

 

I thought you would reply Mike

Just talking to a lad that SAID he had one from new years ago.

Wanted to know some specs and info on them

 

I went out in the brooklyn car, from what i remember it went very well and pulled hard all the way

but was expensive

 

And was like a CVH above 5500 rpm .

 

Jonno ^NUTTER^ has the silver saph from the Fast Ford Cosworth magazine.

The 2.4 Brooklyn one

 

power engineering done a 2.4 conversion with a proper steel crank & rods.

 

any piccy of jonnos car?

 

Yeah in the Fast Ford Cosworth mag Gus

It was the one with the black 500 & the escort cossie, they all had the 2.4 conversions by Brooklyn.

 

I enquired about this a couple of years ago, if you wan to know more give brooklyn reditch a ring on 01527 521212, ask for roger in parts, he will tell you everything you need to know! from what I remember, it is a 91mm stroke crank, the sump is modded along with oil pick-ups to clear the extra throw, and it makes 440BHP and 450Lbs/ft but has a usable rev celing of approx 6000RPM

 

what it only revs to 6000RPM? Shit thats low for a cossie but still not bad power and Tourque.

 

remember that the crank throw has been massivly increased, hence loosing the ability to rev, but you get massive torque everywhere

 

6000rpm? Surely thats more to do with head/cam/turbo spec than anything else?
Or is 6000 the safe limit before the crank snaps clean in half?

Its like when people do 2litre ZVHs and claim they dont rev above 5500, but its cause they still using a pussy T3 so by time its hit 5500rpm the turbo (esp the exhaust side) is all out of flow...
They put a bigger job on it (.63 T34) and suddenly it revs through no bother.

 

it was devoloped and built by a very good friend of mine who still works there on the cossies if they have any in for service ,if you need anymore imformation tiff i will give him a call and get all the parts and spec

my mate had a british racing green 4x4 shaffy with a brooklin 2.4 conversion. went very very well (approx 420bhp) had no problems at all, used to spin all 4 wheels

 

Before you buy one of these, find out EXACTLY what crank it has in it, as the ones I have seen run the WRONG one (as in a normally aspirated (still steel, so that means nothing ) crank that is only rated at 400lb ft) . If they have nothing to hide, they won't mind telling you the supplying company and crank reference number.

 

So are these 2.4 conversions simular to the Collins 2.3 thats in my car?

 

Jon,
I don't think so, as the Collins conversions have seen quite a lot of boost from a T4. The n/a cranks split in two the instant they see 2 bar .

 

they had an imperial blue one up for sale badged as 2.4 brooklyn conversion til not so long ago. i'm sure it was £18999 ? they also had a very nice imperial left hooker for £16000!!

 

is this andy fisher conversion from brooklyn

 

Ranj, I believe that is JP's engine man.

 

mike ya wromg again m600 has seen 2.5 bar at brunters with me driving before i blew his clutch up lauching it
it ran out of revs at 7000 due to gearbox but was around 165 mph
and the crank didnt snap in to bits

 

Brom, you need to re-read Mike's reply, here this is yours....

 

The problem with lengthening the stroke and keeping the block the same is that the rods get REALLY short. Short rod/stroke ratio engines do NOT like to rev.

You can only make the compression height *so* short before you start running into the ring pack, and after that you're stuck.

 

So is this Andy Fisher the guy that builds them for Brooklyn??

 

Karl "I can't read or type, but I can build a tractor" Bromley - in yo ass .

 

yes mine is an andy fisher built engine mine is back in bits and is in his magical hands again

 

correct bill andy fisher builds our engines ,the last 3 produced 500+ bhp

Nice to know M600s 2.3 conversion has proved to be "Brom proof"

 

tractors are good for squashing snails like you mike when i over take them on the grass

 

Mike , i think i know the rest of the split in two n/crank in a big engine story scenario !! I believe that Harvey sold MC a new engine after this ! If you know what i mean

 

Tony,
I don't think MC had much choice - I saw the state of the aftermath .

 

Any of these still going about ?

 

I had one up until last year when one of the rods bent it was decided when i rebuilt it i returned back to 2 litre bottom end but i still have the block and crank and rods and pistons ect from the 2.4 engine at home so one day i will prob get a set of rods and pistons made and build back up as it was so responsive and had over 520 lbft really low down

 

The rs500 was 2lt not 2.4 And graham (polaris escos) has the escort from the mag

 

I was speaking to Andy while he had your engine so i knew yours was still going just wondered about the others. Lovely car yours pal

 

Good bloke andy and he's a true gent and not out to rob you I wouldn't hesitate in sending an engine to him

Carnt wait to get mine mapped in the spring and see what power can be had out of it
