Is it still 4x110? If it is i have some two piece Volk 2 meshies 13x6
-
Aw so much want for the escort
-
Try FD or FC rx7 calipers as they fit well with the TX3 brake upgrade. I didnt use mine cause i found some princess calipers and couldnt be arsed making the rx7 ones fit. They are a 160mm bolt spacing and are for a 20mm disk if i can remember
-
Fit new wings and front panel to the escort.
Fit FE3 and gbox
Weld new panhard and tramp rods to diff
Finally finish brake upgrade
Surely i could do this in a week? (Or am i dreaming....)
New goals set for when im back home i guess...

I have a set of FD RX7 4pots which are the same as FC just no fins. MAZDA casting machined off cause i was gonna put them on the escort. Also have a set of Gen 2 RX7 rear calipers and disks that i probably wont use anytime soon.

Hey man
Welcome to the Escort club (Theres so many on O/S now!) Your 1600 sounds like a score.
1) Id say a weber 32/36 from a Pinto is a good start
2) Its easy enough, literally undo 6 bolts, take old manifold and carb off then bolt new manifold and carb on. Then tune for the 1600
3) About 300 for engine, box is another story... And a weekend. Mounts are the same, gbox will need an auto crossmember and new hole cut for shifter. Nebulouys things like new clutch etc budget in about 400?

Ned both float my boat, might get both cut

Lads flange is good. Can someone please just change the outer edges to 7mm front the edge of the 10mm holes. If this makes the circumference of the central 'Large' hole bigger then that is sweet.
Cheers
-
They are indeed 85mm apart. Bottom of the 2nd and 4th to the top of the 3rd is 23mm
Might give a 5mm-7mm radius round the holes
-
Got this far:
What is the dimension highlighted?
Also what is the radius around the bolt holes?
Highlighted will be 42.5mm
And not sure maybe try 20mm? Not sure how much meat it will need to be 'secure'. Go one with 20mm and one with 30mm
-
I can do it tomorrow, what is it for so I can chuck it in the cad library. What size are the holes?
Ford Laser TX3 Turbo calipers to Courier/b1600 diff
And 10mm
-
I envy how quick you make progress on your cars sheepers.
-
It my not be the best sketch but ive done my best to include all the measurements.
The flange is for my rear brakes
Cheers lads
-
Hmm yeah might do, bought a RX7 master just in case and a bias valve
-
I spent the night looking at S4/5 Rx7 masters and N/A R32 skyline ones as they are 15/16 bore
-
Heya Cletus i just purchased a bias pedal box for my escort but have recently been told that i am not allowed to use it due to welded pedals. Is there any way i can use it in the escort or am i stuck with a heap of unusable metal? I also have a set of anti tramp rods and panhard rod for my escort, what are to do's and dont's with installing them? I will be going as per the escort rally prep manual.
-
Might have to trawl through your build thread...
A master straight to the fire wall may be the go now. Only to find out what bore would be good with 4pot front and rx7 rear...
-
Fuck that sucks.
Could have saved alot of money. Any way to get around it?
-
Cheers man! And yes its such i good representation of the style im going for!
Its a rallydesign item, it looks to be well made with good welds

The old girls been putting along and the little 1600 Kent moves her very nicely, even made the trip from CHCH to Palmy over the Christmas break without a hitch, I recently had to do the head gasket as it popped and was making massey ferguson noises all over Wellington CBD. Ive also rebuilt the starter motor.
Lately ive been acquiring parts for this girl consisting of an Aussie 6cyl diff (Falcon internals), Not one but 2 pre facelift GT/GXL Dashes/Centre consoles, New old stock guards, Grill.
I also got a set of NOS Lucas Ranger spotlights in perfect condition, even had the switch to accompany them!
Plans for the Tina have Manifested to me wanting to put a 302 Windsor in her with an off the self kit, but for the sort term it will be to fit the GT dash, fit a set of tombstone seats

Fuel injectors and fuel tuning
in Tech Talk
Posted
I'm looking at getting some injectors from a 4g93t gsr, they are rated at 390cc. Bearing in mind this is for a 2.0l FE3 N/A so could be high considering a 3sge is running 290cc. Would I be able to tune these using a fuel table and other ECU trickery? (Link G4+ Atom is what I'm looking at)
