pinto turbo?
 

Anyone ever thought about getting a pinto to over 30 using L6, stage 3 chip, greens, t3/t4, cossie pistons and rods,custom manifold?

cheap drift slag possiblity?

I have but cant find a decent manifold but if i ever did turbo my pinto.Im not going to run stupid boost just on low boost std engine maybe a t25.Thats maybe in the future if i can get hold of the bits lol.

A chap on Turbosport is making a very good job of one

i have some pinto sapres if anyone wants them

had a very enjoyable run up the A1 years ago in a pinto turbo rs2000 it went very well indeed :clap:

the chap on turbosport is doing a great job too, the biggest issue is sorting a exhaust manifold to suit the turbo but imo the rest of the parts are either cosworth parts or oe injection pinto
if i was going to build one it would have to be EFI

can buy exhaust manifold kits to do yourself for the pinto, so that aint a problem, to4e turbo with an external gate at 22 psi would be awesome!

dont bother mate

i had a mk2 rs2000
with an original tt converted pinto turbo set up

was shit mate

best of using a zetec or st170 engine

the pinto kept destroying bottom ends with only 4 psi

i would use a cossie bottom end if you did go ahead with it

Manifolds easy to make.
tabetha

cosworth 4x4 pistons and rods, group a gasket lol

Do You guys consider the 2.3 lima to be a "pinto"??

The turbo set up that used to be on my mk2 rs2000

Sammy @ GS Escorts has built a lovely Pinto turbo. Cossie pistons, homemade manifold, EFi inlet and FRST management.

Foook that!

Thats the car that got me thinking lol, and the 350-400bhp sierra skogenracing built

Crumpet you keep on talking about 350 to 400 bhp.Aint being funny but would you handle that kind of power?Ive seen people smash and blow up some nice cars kids your age mainly.If i was you id walk before i can run.

Wastegate piping looks like it was done by Paul Hills

i had mine running 12 psi on standard pinto stand comp ect on megasquirt
was only a 1600 though nackered the gearbox
doing a 2000cc now waiting for rods to finish it ,i used the 2.3 liter manifold and moved the outer headers 5mm in

this is my moded manifold for my new turbo

holset ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

bit of bmw thoughts gone into that lol

couldnt say it any better:king:

I have an original tt pinto head with turbo mounted in it, somewhere in the garage, are they worth anything then?

most lads round your area aint got a clue, rag civic vti's and imprezas, sell em on to lads like me who fix them up and sort them out!

I built a proven 239bhp td04 starlet when i was 16, had it 3 years,built a turbo eg6 when i was 18, had a 270bhp belmont, drove a stage 3 t34 2wd saph, 300+bhp evo 6 with als and many various vehicles, never wrote those off either :)

That holset looks lovely!

mate pm me im intrested your num thanks .

oi crumpet 2wd cossies are mad.my merc cossie loves the arse action but in a straight line type of thing.its got a diffrent diff to the saphs ive been told lol.lol how do you know which area im from and yeah there are some big power cars around here?

yea i know, most of the blokes dont kno how they work though just drive them,therea a V nice e30 turbo cab round perry bar i have respect for ahel as he built his zaf and corsa, and his mk2 escort YB hes building. i know quite a few civic lads from there too from when i had mine

e30 cab tell me more my mate deff would be intrested to see that and yeah there are loads of big power cars othere then the zaf and corsa.

Owned by a small asian chap in his 30's, 600brake 3.2 s52 turbo engine from a e36 m3, its black and is never used, it just spins anyway, you know of the 700brake evo 3? you go bassets pole much?

used to go hamshall but had enough or shall i say grawn out of it besides you get to many dickheads with corsas and saxos with no insurance.evo 3 hey i think a 330 ish bhp cossie is more usable around town and decent for track.But i hate the japcrap what colour is the evo?

evo's black, stripped out track slag, I used to go hams but its all shit, local lads still go down the a38 which i find pointless, you might now a lad called adil kahn? goes by the name of dilo, used to have a silver 4x4 cos on escos 8j wheels, his bro is one of the biggest car dealers in birmingham and has a yellow diablo

That cossie wasent the num SIL was it?if so that was my mates car if it was i trhink its foooking mangled lol.

well its still going, it was sat off the road from a year with a melted bottom end but its been on the road for about 10 months now, it had a private plate when he had it but probs different now

yeah well if its the same car he showed me pics of it mangeld anyways his bought a smokestone one now.was that silver saph fast?and that guy with the diablo weres his garage?

just outside small heath and silver saph was stage 3

I had one (13 years ago) pretty sure the exhaust manifold was turbo technics. The fuelling was via a renault solex turbo carb (yes r5 gtt) obviously re-jetted. The guy that did mine did loads of conversions like this and made some really rapid conversions.

If i remember rite them guys used to deal in cossies back in the days im talking 6 to 8 yrs ago one time i went in there the guy had abt 6 saphs and a escort coz on a R plate with sat nav.

yea that was his brother, he mostly deals in exclusive shit now and evo's and impreza's

his mates building a bad boy saph smokestone 1 you must have herd about it?

my mate sold that silver saph car to that guy it was on t3 i think at that time.

escos wheels?

Used to have Lima pinto 2.3 Turbo in a Tina came out of shitty 80s mustang after I removed all the emission crap went like stink until it munched the Turbo and sucked all the bits into the engine!
