TT 2.9 Sierra. This may be the last one?
Nearing completion. Some parts are now hard to find!
Accralite pistons, balanced assembly, T21 profile cam, large nimonic exhaust valves, ported and chambered head. T2 turbos to start with, but much more potential if required. Emerald management.

Turbo Technics had a cnc set up to sort the heads out for their standard 225 kits, which enabled them to run with the stock pistons.
The engine in this one is more like the Minker spec.

Sierra 4x4 Twin turbo. Alan Jeffery engine with Zytec management supplied and set up by Alan.
0-60 in 3.9 seconds at Trax 2005 (I think the date is correct!)

I am picking up a 2.9 twin turbo engine this weekend that was fitted to a Granada, for my sierra project car. Any ideas on which version it would be? My last twin turbo made 253 bhp, but didn't come with the build plate.
Also, how come the car above is running a dizzy, and not wasted spark?

And the 4x4 Minker engined one, 420 bhp / 475 lbs ft at 3500 rpm.
Sorry for lousy pictures!
Suspension with compression struts, coil overs and bladed anti roll bar.

We're going to go back to it later, if he chooses.
Re your TT engine, most likely the 225 bhp version. T2's. Chambered heads. Extra injectors run by a MAP based DCU which also controls the ignition retard.

If anyone's interested I'll pass the details on for the owner, but this TT Minker 323 is for sale. It has all the genuine parts, including the special 170 mph diffs. The guy has had this one in a lock up for years.

Basically, it's a black Sierra!
TT only produced 8 of them, I think one white one, the rest all Black.
We built one in Moonstone using all Minker parts.
The first ones were much photographed when first produced as a genuine 170 mph family saloon was quite something in 1989!

I built it from a brand new shell, welded in cage, and every last nut and bolt in it was new, running up a considerable account with Cofast in the process.

The sheer grunt was the best bit, just poke it in top gear, and watch the gap open up.

I found some more pictures of the 4x4 .. I think from 1997.
Shell arrives, it was a failed rally car project bought from a Motoring News ad.
And as finished. Note the big red starter button, now copied by Aston Martin!

Went to the great scrap yard in the sky Father, had a conversation with a man about 5 years ago trying to buy parts for one of our local TT Sierra customers.
The owner of the specialist parts company broke it to me gently when I mentioned our name and address for delivery.
"Christ, I bought and scrapped your old White single turbo XR4i", lol, thanks m8 !
