Gaz Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 In the tech section there is an artical with how to make a sump. Under the 2l conversion. If you cut it where I say and then take it in to get it welded it would cost bout $80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSC Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 i searched i couldnt find it can you put a link to it thanks. somebody was saying that a mk1 auto driveshaft fits in when you do the 2l conversion. is that fits on a sierra 5spd??? thanks also what speedo cable and clutch cable do you use ???

OSC Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 sweet as hey has anyone had any experience with supercharged pintos and if you have at what sort of power levels im looking for 200kw atw which i know i can get without spending tooo much what im wondering is how the standy rods and pistons will take it im gonna machine the chambers to drop compression a lil and not run too much advance but i dno anybody got any thoughts. and swt for posting the pics im jst trying to gather bits so i can try to do it in big hits instead of half assed bit by bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats 268hp at treads which means more at fly. Standard pinto items have trouble after about 170hp flywheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSC Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 be building it for a street car but use on occasional track outing do u know of any pistons and rods that are the right big end and bore size for a pinto that would be able to handle that sort of power coz again if i can avoid buying expensive aftermarket items i will.

Gaz Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I think for that kinda power you would need forged or at the very least coated. Maybe could use the v6 pistons and bore out to .90-94tho over if you have a 205 block. Read the thread I just started in tech section titled 'Puma Racing 2l Pinto tuning' or the likes. I know its not for turbo engines but it is helpfull none the less. Tells you of the head problems which arnt such a big deal when turboing/charging but for the kinda power you want could help. Talk to someone like RT he has done the turbo route before which will be similar. Might wanna read his site first tho so your not asking questions already answered.

OSC Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 read that tech its good as. um where did u get ur extractors they are awesome lookin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Coby. They arnt that shit hot. Look good but the welds arnt perfect. They also dont fit 2l with Sierra 5 speed. I would say you need custom ones anyway. Also i just added to that post above with a link to a site that may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSC Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 oh ok i read up in that site helped a bit and found out that i need 205 block rods as they are stronger then cortina rods. wats the guy with the turbo capris user name so i can find him to pm him apparently he knows of people who have supercharged them so he maybe able to put me onto some one to help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 'RT' is his username. Also a user 'Chris' on here has supercharged a 1600 crosflow engine. Long shot but he may know some bits and peices that would be helpfull. Its in a mk2 escort and there is info bout it and shit in the 'project' section. I talked to a guy at the targa last year who had a capri running a 2l supercharged engine. He said it had bout 200hp but couldnt get it to run right. I saw the car again this year and it is no longer supercharged so I guess he never got it running right. What kind of compression ratio were you planning on running and at what boost? Youll need a big blower and low compression ratio to get 200 KW @ wheels. Also I guess youd be going injection. There is ALOT of custom work and pissing round to get the big power you want. The type of money I think youll spend getting 200kw out of the pinto id almost suggest engine swap to sr20det. It will be more reliable and wont need a rebuild every year!

Toucan Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've seperated the thread and moved it to the appropriate places. oldskoolcrew - If you still want parts start another thread in the parts section rather than posting in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSC Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 wasnt sure wat comp ratio i was gonna go for yet depends wat sort of pistons i can get my hands on i was gonna run a sc-14 blower off a 1g-gze 2L 6cyl toyota and at about 14psi maybe abit more and nah fuck injection thats why im not putting my m8s 200kw atw 4a-gte in it ive seen those sort of numbers out of similair engines i know i can get the power im just worried bout it holding together seems that the rods to use are out of a 205 block but i still dunno wat pistons might just get sum forgies for it im looking at just over 300hp at the flywheel which isnt much out of a 2L the rods should hold together with 205 block rods as im not reving itover say 6750 - 7000 so we will see should be interesting that and i wanna keep this all ford my m8 can fabricate teh intake manifold and that the only real custom part i think i should need except a custom spec cam and decent porting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v3k Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I will be very suprised if you can get 280 HP (at the wheels) (200kw) out of a Carb'd pinto - forced induction or not. Also - 7000rpm with the sort of boost you will need for the power you want wont be that easy on anything in the engine. I would be budgeting for lots or rebuilds with you carb'd 200rwkw pinto. And lots of dyno sessions to keep it in tune. The 16v cosworth turbo YBT Pinto-based block with Cosworth 16-valve aluminum head Bore and stroke 90,82 x 76,95mm , 1993cc, compression ratio 8:1. Mahle forged pistons. Weber-Marelli engine management system. Garrett T03 water-cooled turbocharger, max boost 0,7bar, air-to-air intercooler. Max power 204hp at 6000rpm, max torque 278Nm at 4500rpm. I imagine that is at the flywheel. (bear in mind that is a 'road car' tune so you can drag more out at the expense of reliability)... However it has fuel injection and a nice ECU keeping everything running nicely. If you are determined to go this route I believe you will need: A big wallet. Cosworth 16v head Fuel injection But all I should really say is: Good luck to you, I really hope it works and am looking forward to seeing (video please) the results!
