o pS they have just done a new version of the 24v TT engine with bob block and differant pistons and cams, and it made 370 bhp at just 8psi

 

My Brother has started trying to do your wiring loom and he ain't happy with how you got it out

Steve.

 

Yeah i know, spoke to him earlier, i`m not as good when it comes to wiring looms, lol.

How do i plumb up the power steering as the pipes are on the other side of the engine to the pump?

 

Mine didn't have PAS, sorry can't help

Steve.

 

any progress

 

How ya getting on?

 

Alright peeps, well i havn't really had alot of time to myself recently with me working stupid hours recently but i i am slowly making progress. The exhaust is nearly finished but have had alot of trouble in making a good job of it .

I`ve plumbed up all the water hoses and fuel lines but i'm still waiting on the wiring loom which should be here soon thanks to "mark_24v_wiring". I`ve bought 2 new front wings for it along with a new slam panel as mine are going in the shuts, so they will be going on in due course.

Havn`t had chance to even look at the ST for a while but its going in the workshop on sunday so it can have a new sill section fitted if i can find the time...

Will post pics up tommorow....

 

UPDATE.

Well, i got the engine loom back on friday, so i started plugging it all back on and wired it up to the existing loom in the car, and to my suprise, it started first time.

Now i have to say that my home made exhaust system , is not as good as i`d hoped because it blows like fuck from the downpipe, lol. I need a welder



(The cable ties are only temporary by the way )




I then decided to take it for a quick spin round the block to test it, as i got up the road the bonnet lifted and hit the windscreen. My fault really, i`m still waiting for a new bonnet catch and i didn`t think it would come up at 30mph!

So, i now need a new windscreen and bonnet




What is this little thing?? Where do i plug it?




Also, if anyone has got a spare one of these, then let me know...




My new rad



And a few random ones...











Just need to sort a few bit n pieces on the engine, then i will fit the Granada rear beam and brakes.

 

Ok, got small update. Just been removing more stuff off the Granada so i can get rid of the shell, which is now ready to go. I shall be using the granada steering rack with sierra track rod ends along with the Granada anti roll bar. Using a granada anti roll bar means i can then use a stock granada exhaust which will bolt up properly.

Just a few pics...













Also, i'm having the electric suroof motor and see if it will fit mine...




I will continue to fit the above this week if i can get the time to do it, and i am on the hunt for a XR4x4 for parts aswell. Will keep you updated...

 

Your comments and suggestions are welcome people....

 

You look to be doing ok.

Did you fit a new clutch plate? I have just had mine fail, didn't want to put a new one in when i built it. But i should have. Now got a transit HD one in, same as the 4x4 cossie.

 

Thankyou. I put a new one in when i had the box off so hopefully all will be ok.

Still need lots of bits tho, but its just trying to find the time and money to keep going with it, but i`m not in a rush to finish it so will get there in the end

 

hi m8 im just new on the site and was havin a wee look though your pics looks well good i was wondering what box you used to mate with the 24v as im looking to convert my granada to a manual? is it the 4x4 box or is it another one that i could possibly use as im struggling a bit thanx.

 

Hi m8, welcome to PF. The box i used is a Type 9 gearbox, with 2.8 v6 clutch and flywheel. This isn`t the strongest of boxes but some do the job fine. But, you are best off using an MT75 gearbox as this tends to be stonger.

Take a look at www.fordpower.org.uk/forum as you will find loads of information on the 24v there.

Double post!

 

thanx for that m8 im sure someone has told me about the MT75 box before think i may just try and source one lol ill have a gander on that site you sent the link to aswell, cheers again m8 its appreciated

 

looking good

 

xr4x4 box front case and if your using a dohc mt75 you also need the input shaft and dropgear from the xr box. Then get all that fitted to the 2wd mt75.
Or get a Scorpio diesel box and the front case from the xr4x4 will fit straight on.

 

superb m8 ive heard of that conversion before just wasnt sure thanx for that m8
