Guest Demonmk2 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 like i said in other post my main idea is to be different in the concept of nobody ever doing what i am trying to achieve even if some of you peopel dont like what im doing but in the end its how i feel about the car isnt it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushrod Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 BDA styles!! my zetecs gonna look fucken similar to a bda so might as well be belt driven right? I saw a pic a few days ago of a Anglia with a Zetec and BDA cam cover running jenvey throttle bodies looked sooooo nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atropine Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 should look similar then.. mines running illumination throttle bodies.. and the water pump and thermostat have been modified to look like BDAs and ill say it again, you should modify your car so its good and you like it, not just so its different. every little rice rocket tries to be different. if you do actually do something different, (which is unlikely, as mk2 escorts receive many strange conversions) if its any good, eventually someone will do it as well. and if its shit, chances are someone will as well. probably in hopes of making their escort unique. and then all youll have is escort thats nothing special and shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atropine Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 find me someone with a zetec escort (except me) find me someone with a 4age escort find me someone with a cologne v6 escort etc etc etc.. some engines itd be very hard to find someone with them (not so much for those 3 as i know of people with them, but if i didnt it could be quite hard..) from 3.5rovers to big block chevs, 13b rotors to hayabusa engines, n/a pintos to turbo cossies.. the escort is a car converted many a time.. to think that youll be the only person with this common as nuts honda engine in an escort, is just plain ignorance.

Guest Demonmk2 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 oh ok and a car can actually be homosexual :S an engine is an engine they all copied off one design but just have had some minor tweaks such as v-tec, mivec etc rotary's havnt really copied they have expanded there thoughts and made a different shape of engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Demonmk2 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 so what your saying is just because its a honda its gay? but if it was out of a toyota it wouldnt be gay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Demonmk2 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 i was just using it as an example i didnt say if it was complicated or not i just want to no because people say anything is possible in the automotive world so is it possible to actually do what i want? put the zc engine into my car wid the correct mounts etc and have lets say a t50 gear box with a gear box adapter to fit to the engine? thats all i wanna no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 u should be real original. put a 2k in ur esky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 anything IS possible, but in all reality no one has done it before and no one is probably going to exert the effort into reaserching it for you, because youre 99%unlikely not to go trough with it. your conversion is highly hypothetical and very costly/unpractical. would involve ALOT of research and even MORE time and money, as in 10s of thousands probably. and all this for a relatively shitass economy honda engine. if you were going trough all the trouble to fit a carrera engine or something then sweet, but a very cunty conversion thats not even gonna give you fuk all power, looks etc, not even worth wastin your and other ppls time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest escort_boy Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 but davidain, it gives 130hp standard, so thats worth the hassel isnt it? .... so he says Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
