Default Mk5 Escort RST running Cossie management

Heres a few pictures of my escort xr3i build

Brought this as a 1.8 xr3i 130ps none runner





Engine has been rebuilt as the 1 i had was a bit tired

engine build







and in the car



cut the front around a bit to fit the GRS and Kenlowes



afew more bits going on









then decided to replace the turbo as my old 1 had gained a bit of play



Enjoy

Once it was all together took it up to paul hills at engine advantages to have it mapped













Made 234 bhp and 222.5 lb/ft torque with the standard xr3i fuel pump , couldnt map it anymore as there wasnt enought fuel getting there
Escos pump fitted now
