It was turboed on a stock motor, for the entire year.
This is what i did over last year. Crower Rods, Wesico 9:1 cr pistons, stock crank, P&P head with stage 3 Ford Racing Vavle train, Stock cams for now. 42lb green injectors, 90mm MAF sensor, and much more.

The motor still able to run I decided to build a motor, to handle for boost.
started out with this.

and I'll let the pics speak for themselves.







Decided to weld up the side vents on the rear of the car. they would leak and fill my trunk with water.





[IMG]
header still needs to be finished and painted, along with the turbo.

The new motor almost togeather.





Motor about to go into its new home


as you can see, that the wastegate hits the core support, and the support had to be moddified.





That is the worklog up to March 22, 2009

I don't think it is but its along the same lines and build. Ford built this motor just for the escort line, but it has a Variable Cam Timing system on it.
