this is my daily project so got to make everything while still being able to drive it home etc...

rebuilding the turbo pinto from the cortina with new manifolds which i have nearly finished.

using a IHI vf38 twnscroll turbo, titianum shaft and exhaust wheel!

got 550cc injectors and a 65mm coon throttle body.

billit snow turbo grind cam. double springz.

full port to visards book.

have pics of the alloy inlet manifold soon.

got me a cheapo 450x300x75 fmic and will make custom alloy piping.

want a capri diff to slot into the back so find me one!

will leave bottom end the same as what it was in the goat, standy 205 with forged pistons.

used to be 160hp atw with standy head and super shit manifolds ect

so i want atleast 200hp atw with this engine.

scored a mk3 capri atlas diff thats 100mm wider than ma escort one so i jammed that in there on sunday. redrilled rear hubs to 4x100 and the pinion flange to take the escort driveshaft.

got a cosworth steel headgasket now so i just need some new pinto cam bearings so i can assemble the head. will then cc is and deck block the required amount. found a 68mm throttle body off sumthing ford so will use that now.

also got a alloy rad from a civic of tm for 250bucks so hope its sweet.

cut rear off the tail section ov type9 gbox today and made a custom gear linkage so the shifter is in the correct spot for a escort hole. saves having the shifter too close to handbrake and keep the center consol. its all adustable and works mint as. will get pics next week if anyones interested...?

ok finished engine mounts and crossmember and got it sitting in place. managed to sit it back far enough to fit intercooler radiator and 2 oil coolers and a fan infront! piping looks mint also. its all coming together nw. will fully plumb it up and wire it then strip it again to panel and paint under bonnet.

still havnt dynod it. the brand new rockers i put in it were shit/soft as it turned out so got cam reground and got some flash new rockers for it. runs mint as but fuck its a loud motor. just loud a, im wondering if the inlet manifold has something to do with it? maby the shock wave of the inlet valves closing resonating up the runners? plus loud injectors? hope so. has good oil pressure and responds well. . . . .

will dyno next week on low boost say 10psi or what ever the wastegate it set to. then in a few months have high low boost switch to maby 20psi. cant wait.

ok well dyno day today.

didnt go well. after we got it running it missd hard high rpm n under boost. checked normal stuff.

seems to be ignition rather than fuel. = gay.

changed to flaSH coil with no difference. so yea ran out of time realy. every thing seems fine.

so i got a huge 130hp atw at 4500 rpm with a huge miss lol at 7 psi.

been on dyno again today. went much better

160kw atw on 18psi

120kw atw on 10 psi

has 380nm at 3000rpm!

should go like a rocket. stoaked.

holly shit, done a few hundy kms on it now and it is awsome fast in the little escort and im only running it at 90kwatw!!

my suspension works a treat holds mean in the tight stuff and with the fat torque curve it pulls in any gear.

hope to do some laps at manfeild in weekend and i predict around 1min 19 ish lol fuk who knows

been a while.

with my new head on with a cam i got 180kw atw. torque curve stayed higher everywhere than old cam.

bad news is the turbo has run out of puff.

now has cronic serge at lower revs as it comes on full boost so fast that the engine cant consume it all.

and at high revs the boost will fall away. if waste gate is held closed the air charge is so hot power goes down.

so new turbo is on its way! gt30 with a .63ar exhaust. this will have more lag but my motor cudnt take the boost down low anyway so might be spot on. looks sick 2!!!! 4 inch intake!!!

want to finish off interior and enter it in the feilding 4 and rota show.
