I have a guage that measures the pressure in each inlet runner, also they are tested on my car first. The one above could be called a Mk3 version.

But the starting point was to measure a Nissan Pulsar plenum.

1'st thing. love your car. thinking of fitting bigger rad and intercooler and will need to cut a lot of the front out. have you stiffend up the front of your car in any way? And does it go through a MOT ok? Cheers.

rigwrecker

would love to see this car when is next knockhill or crail visit to see it run

sas

My car still passes it MOTs no problem. The front of the car doesnt have any additional strength.

I will be attending plenty of Knockhills this year. But just one or two Crails, I have a new quarter mile car that I am building.

dalsy70

My cars definately coming upto yours to get the suspension set up when its finished, hopefully wont be long now

bezo

are we allowed to show pics yet of our quarter mile monster?

little bram

alright m8. would lv to see the new car but whats rong with the escort and you going to get into the 10's with ian howell

CF20

Don't give up on the escort mate it will be sad to see, the challenge is to get it to do good quarter miles

sas

Not giving up on the Escort, its just going to become more focused in becoming a track car.
It was slightly compromised for quarter mile stuff so I now have the oppetunity to build something else, but will continue with Escort RS turbo.

Any more on this or the new car

Ade

Oh I so want a 6 speed gearbox!

sas

I have been a bit busy at work to divert much if any time to my demo car.

But this weekend I went to the Performance Ford day at Crail raceway.

My best time of the day was 12.65 at 122mph (60ft of 2.2sec)

I am well pleased with that, as my tyres are 3 year old R888s

impressive time mate, is that stripped out?

Ade

Well into the 12s! Good going, especially at Crail

sas

Cheers Ade,
Thanks for the pics.

The Escort is partly stripped, weighs in at 925kg. No dash, carpets, door cards, or rear seats. It still has all glass and standard Recaros.

haha so i was 0.01 out from the time i told you? lol

It's impressive how "no nonsense" your car is off the line! Nearly all other cars looked like they were driving on ice for the 1st 10 yards!

nice to meet you again and see you soon with the fiesta

sas

Yeh good too talk to you too, you are taller than I remembered. Are you still growing???

Traction - I just try and drive away without wheelspin and only give it full power from 3rd gear, was on the rev limiter(7300rpm) crossing the finish line in 5th

some good times, well into the 12's

CF20

great times was that with or without NOS ?

sas

That was without

So got another 50hp in the bag.

Matt carter

What is the BHP your engine is makeing?

Ade

Classic Ford Show

Santa Pod 31st of May. Quality strip to use during a really good busy show..... would be the ideal day to get into the 11s

sas

Last time on the dyno it showed 380bhp before it lost traction. I now have a different cam fitted and revised rocker ratio to help control the GT30.

So the answear is somewhere near 380 + or - ???

Matt carter

So with the nos you are looking at 430 ish And am i right in saying that you are building a 1/4 mile car. is it going to be a rs turbo?

sas

You are correct about the power.

The best bit is the ERST is not suppose to be a quarter mile car! it should be be a track car?

Hi,
a was searching for your car for a long time now!
It's one of the most beautiful that i have seen!
Good job!
I wanna do the same thing... duratec st170 with the IB5+ gearbox.
So i have a few questions...Can you help me?
You have welded the gearbox mount to the inner left wing...good so far,
now the other mountings (engine and the other on the gearbox)....you made them your self or they fit exactly on the cvh ones?
(Sorry for my english...)


Thank you!
(Sorry if im a pain in the ...)

sas

Hi, the box is a MT285 Getrag 6 speed.

Use the CVH mount on the back of engine block, and weld a mount under the passenger foot well for the torque reaction mount.

There are several guys on here that have done the conversion also, you may want to see what they have done.

Simon.

Thank you for your help!
