how well would a t28 turbo from an escort cossie work
on a s2 erst

 

Queue Davie K....

 

very well with the right specced engine
wheres davie when you need him

 

just that theres one on ebay at the moment,what spec would it
work best with then

 

Ive had a T28 on my RST for over 2 years now, it is a great conversion, a bit expensive but worth the money.

 

what else is needed for this conversion then,theres a t28 on ebay
at the moment and i get paid at the weekend so hav been considering
bidding on it but dont want to go ahead with it if its going to be a
massive job to do cause i hav to use my car every day

 

AVA did the conversion for me but they changed my downpipe and the water hose is a different shape apart from that its a pretty straight forward conversion.

 

not to bad then really,hardest bit would be finding a piece of downpipe
to use and join to my existing exhaust,at the moment my car has got
air filter,ashley exhaust,unknown chip,bigger saab intercooler and
i think it has a power engineering head but not sure on this part,im
hoping to get a 1.8 zetec bottom end soon maybe so would the t28
work well with any of these bits

 

hav you got any pics u could send me atall

 

This is the spec of mine:

1618cc CVH, stage 2 head , newman cam, solid lifters, piper vernier, wire ringed block, lowered compression, ARP conrod Bolts, AVA ecu, AVA modified fuel system, AVA high flow tubular manifold, T28 turbo, 360 bearing, reshaped front pipe, AVA Large capacity intercooler, magnecor leads, magnex exhaust, AP 4 paddle clutch.

It will work fine on your engine

 

I will take some pics when it stops snowing.

 

ok cheers for that cheers for the help,i will put a bid in on
the turbo at the weekend then to see if it goes up any before that
its only at Ł200 at the moment,the picture of the turbo on the housing
that goes to the intercooler theres sumthing that looks like a valve
hav u any idea what this is for

 

Sorry havnt got a clue

 

ok never mind,cheers for the help thuogh

 

hopefully then if i can get the turbo and the 1800 zetec bottom
and get it all built up i will hopefully hav my 2 door estate by then
and the engine will go straight into that then

 

jonesy..

Whats the Ashley zorst sound like on your RST?? my mate had one on his car, and it was the loudest exhaust I have ever heard

p.s. Luton...

 

standard re-circ dump valve maybee

 

 

its the loudest ive heard aswell went to santa pod the other week
and my mates said it was the loudest erst there,i raced my mate in his
200sx and hes got a sports exhaust on that and he could hear my car
over his and thats when we were doing the runs up the strip so yeh it
is loud but i like it only a 3 inch tailpipe and its louder than all
the rsts ive seen with same size and bigger tailpipes even on tickover

 

thats the one t28 rst,says its brand new,thats the valve i was on about aswell

 

yep, thats a standard re circ dump valve, the T25's have them aswell I think, like on the rover turbos.

 

would i hav to just blank that off then or run the pipe to the inlet
manifold

 

Im not quite sure whether it would work if you connected it up, cant think of any reasons why it wouldnt

You can blank it off, either buy a spacer to replace the spring in there or get a plate made up and take it totally off, its up to you. If you have a dump valve installed elsewhere in the system then you will deffinately need to blank it off.

Mine is just blanked off

 

jonesy

What times did you get at the pod mate?? bearing in ine the track must be slippy

Have i seen your car about?? What colour mate?

 

Does anyone else have this conversion on there car

 

ive got a dump valve on my car at the moment but when i get my
estate the dump valve will be coming off so i will just blank it off
on the turbo,westy my best time at the pod was a 15.966 but the
front wheels were spinning in 1st and 2nd also with 17inch wheels
so next time i go im trying 15s and yeh it was slippy,my erst is
black aswell,e plate sitting on 17 inch 6 spokes

 

jonesymk2 you have PM

 

good effort

Estate, whats all that about??

 

cheers t28 rst,got ure pics better than nothing cheers
westy im buying a mk4 escort 2 door estate,my car lets water
in around the fuse box so when i wash it or it rains heavy i get
a puddle in the drivers footwell,all the bulk head round the fuse
box has been repaired b4 and its been bodged so im getting the
estate from 1 of my cousins mates for Ł100 and im going to swap
everything over from mine into the estate and make it a bit of a
street sleeper

 

will the t28 turbo bolt onto the standard erst exhaust or would i
hav to go for an aftermarket item

 

Think it will bolt onto the std manifold
