There is loads of one off stuff all over the engine bay, but this can only be seen up close and in person, so if you ever see him at a show or meet etc.. Ask to have a look as the owner is a freindly chap who im sure will be more than happy to show you around his motor

Thanks for looking.

engine bay looks very nice

is that matt black or crackle effect detailing? cant tell

looks nice tho mate

well done

 

Proper sleeper that Jano.

 

 

nice motor , not sure bout the raised bonnet tho...

 

proper sleeper that

 

Looks nice.

What power is it going to put out ?

 

Liking that alot mate, good solid spec on it aswell by the looks of it!

Even looks good with the raised bonnet and I dont like em at all! lol

 

M K, the rocker cover is factory black mk6 escort almost like satin finish, i painted the over pipe to match.

I would expect the power to be around 240-250bhp @ around 18-22psi

The reason i use bonnet raisers on the Mk3 is because they didnt have vents as std, none of the cars ever suffer with heat soak etc.. but the hot air is better out than in Its down to the customers choice anyway..

Regards

 

All of my cars are

 

Surely not on a standard bottom end, it's just you don't mention what pistons and rods

 

 

looks very nice mate!

 

 

 

very nice, not sure about the raised bonnet either......ant idea wher to get the old top mounts from though...need some for my early 3i resto?


Ta
ant

 

Yes mate on std pistons and rods. My own car/s have been running 28k miles with ALS high boost etc. without any problems. My own car/s run 26psi and produce 276bhp Thats a factory 1.6cvh bottom end.

 

Down the breakers mate, i seen about 3 mk3's this week with the front legs still in place and the top mounts obviously still there.

 

 

Bit of an update...

His killed the original box

Out with the old in with the new

 

lol, i did wonder how long it would last wen i read that it had original box looks good tho and a nice spec there

 

Nothing wrong with the std box mate.. Just obviously not the best to be pushing 240bhp through

Sorted now anyways h

 

awsome car by the look of it

 

Back on the road now

 

Look forward to seeing it somewhere

 

Yes mate hope so, would be good to meet ya

 

Been RR 253bhp

Std 1600 engine with 80k on the clock. T3 Turbo, intercooler + Management!

 

dont the bonnets have to be raised if you are running the efi plenum chamber?
they look well tight

 

Wicked stuff as always Jano!


Neil

 

 

 

No not at all mate.
The EFi inlet fits in an Escort engine bay without any mods.


Thanks for the kind words.

 

 

Thıs car may be for sale soon. Any questıons please ask.

 

the style of your cars is spot on mate bonnet raisers and cossie rims looks bloody good
