Jerm Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 anyone know if i can run side draughts on an escort 1300/1600 with the brake booster in place... is there enough room? are the manifolds relatively easy to come by? anyone got one or know where i can get one?

jinx Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 they turn up on trademe occassionally. not sure on the fitment though. if it does foul you could use the early mk1 system without the booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucan Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 From what I've heard you can't run sideys with the brake booster there, and looking at it you wouldnt think so either. Some people like taking out the booster, they say it gives a more "direct feel" for the brakes, aslong as you got a strong leg though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Just keep in mind that the booster gives a 2:1 multiplication of the brake pedal force. You may be able to change pivot points enough to improve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 i paid $400 for a set of twin 40 DCOE's off trade me and $300 for a brand new intake manifold from kelford, i havnt fitted them yet but i am told you might have to watch out for clearance of the dizzy if you use a small manifold, but if you get a new high rise one u should be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 you can get side exit dizzy caps to replace the normal ones - don't know what they're off though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_days_late Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 yea you can. id goto http://www.burtonpower.com and get them to send you a free catalogue, there really good. but yea if your gona get side draughts, you really need extractors and ported head and that. ive spent over 3 grand on my motor now and its still not done... should have just got a SR20 or a rota. but yea just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I used to run a side exit dizzy cap from a Peugeot on my NA Cossy Mk2, maybe that would also fit your application? Also have a think about fitting a remote servo (you call em boosters) or a bias pedal box to cure your space problem. Burtons are a good company but also have a look at these folks... http://www.raldes.co.uk or maybe .com Used them loads and they have all sorts!
