Its been a while since ive been on here as i sold the sapphire cossie but im finally in possession again of a fast ford! I dont know much about it apart from it has a turbo technics ID badge in the engine bay but it now has a different engine so any comments/ideas/info welcome.

Cheers

Saw this in Pistonheads. Looks nice. I've had a few of these over the years! Swap to EFi managment, makes a load more space

jonnyrsturbo

love it

saphcosworth

Sounds good, is that a big job or expensive? and also anyone know the best way to tell what the engine came out of?

Ad4m RST

Really like that, selling my Mk2 next week wanted to turbo it badly.

Awesome though, real sleeper turbo that one. Spots & ambers rule lol

cossiej

looks great a street sleeper jas

Not too big a job mate. Cost you about, hmmm, 300 quid? Dead easy to do and LOADS of guides kicking about.

And what do you mean re- engine? Yours is an MFi Escort RST engine as it has a metering head, the EFi engines from the fiesta don't have the metering head, and have a different crossover pipe etc..

And this is an EFi Turbo in my old XR2 Turbo



And here's the EFi lump from my previous old XR2 Turbo

Yeah that sounds good i think i will be looking into that. I just wasnt sure weather the engine came from a fiesta or escort but thats cleared up for me now.

cheers

smudge_lad

Just a suggestion but get standard indicators put back on looks so much better IMO.

nice one mate, thats my wee bro's old car - i drove it home from newcastle to dunfermline, nippy wee thing thats for sure, kept up with my cossie

Noisy Boy

so wish i this this to my old one top motor mate!

saphcosworth

its nippy right enough!! does anyone know about any engine mods or is it pretty much standard? as i never really got much history with it and the previous owner knew very little also!

Dan F

Cool,welldone mate

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

if i remember correctly it was approx 150 bhp, had full stainless and -31 actuator so was running a touch more boost. Its not a genuine TT car by the way, the boy we got it from just fancied putting the badge on - i may still have his email address, will pm you if i find it, it was him that did everything to it

saphcosworth

Cheers for that mate, its good to get to know a bit about the car

saphcosworth

Wasn't getting much stopping power so fitted some new drilled and grooved discs with greenstuff pads .. steerings a bit wobbly at high speeds so gonna fit new track ends / bushes / ball joints next then get tracking done.

nice car fella, lad that owned it was in the xroc north east group if i right

Flippy

This is my mates old car, i picked it up from dunfermline with him. This car is wild to say the least!! off the clock within a mile and braking down! really wanted to buy this from him but student life sucks haha. Had a lot of good times within the time he had it. Do you like it?

The engine is something else, but it deserves alot of TLC would go for the efi conversion and go nuts haha

I'M SO JEALOUS!!

haha

saphcosworth

Yeah lovin it, had a few bits and bobs sorted on it so far and its goin in for a tune up tomorrow so should be runnin sweet. Sure ill be goin for a few engine upgrades soon too, will keep you posted. Cheers for the comment!

saphcosworth

Ok... had a major problem after playing with a civic type r lol. This is the result so far, think once the head comes off we will find at least one melted piston by the sounds of things, may be time to just do a full rebuild

started pulling things off


inside head looks clean


few more bits off


spotted a bolt sheared off on the turbo :[


and exhaust gasket was on upside down partially blocking the outlets :O


so turbo out and away to be repaired with new gasket also (no play in the shaft so thats something i suppose)


and one sad looking xr2 turbo
