Wow, this is one of my all time favourite cars....just lovely. Well done.
it is without doubt the best Escort I have built with the package it has. New head and cam spec are working awesome the turbo is now running at 150k at 2bar at the top out of a possible 153k so looking good for 520 to 530hp.

that is great to hear and turbo running at max performance its rated for which shows it is ultimate spec....how well does it come on boost etc compared to my old engine spec? (If you can remember the comparison).
Nice, are the quiet? Who is putting it together? Lols like Bara,s 60nm on there.
The guy supplying the kit is putting it together, its not ment to be that loud will know once its fitted being helical gears its as good you will get for a road car.
60nm viscous also 3.9 drop gears,

You should put up the low boost 1.8bar dropping to 1.5bar graph.

Makes me wonder if we should whip the head off my new engine and update that...I assume it wouldn’t need a whole heap of work as my head has been worked already.

Its as costly as doing a stock one to report a head.
Cant wait to get the efr on now! Does anyone know what a standard car with group N head gasket can run boost/ power wise with RS500 type cooler?
Cannot find any info on the group n gasket but it was fitted by castle performance back in the day!

Thanks. Deliverability and response between gear changes is spot on.
Will be going up for sale in the next week or 2 when I get a chance to wash it up and picture it.
Also will be having a video done for LLF YouTube channel.

my car was 2.2 bar. Standard engine, metal head gasket and rs500 cooler...intake temps were quite high..Mark Shead can supply you with a brilliant intercooler I think.

i guess metal gasket gives abit more leeway with boost compared to a standard type one?
My intake temps have always been ok on the road so will be interesting to see where they end up the the efr
i remember when you were next to me on track at silverstone the box sounded quite rough like a really
noisey layshaft etc
It still sounds like that when it come back from Bara last summer after it was was fixed, praide lap was good around SilverStone someone should of told Ben P it was a crusie lap not a race nutter.
