OSC Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Exscuse the story but background reading rules: So here i was somewhere around 2 years ago when i joined os contemplating pulling my mk1 escort off the road for the full on rebuild with 6 link and adj susp and 200hp xflow and shit and i was going to need a daily driver. so i thought how about a escort wagon they look sweet. i knew of where there was one that could be had for cheap so after a very short time saving i went out and bought it. initial plans were to use it as a daily so i thought id rebuild the 1300 with my 1100 pistons stick my mild cam and webber on it with a set of my extractors a sierra box for economy dump it on some minilites with a home job paintjob and some sounds. cheap and easy and a sweet daily. insert workmate whos been f#$king with cars for years. just put a pinto in it ffs 200hp is way easier out of a pinto and the boss has got a couple of sc-14s upstairs you could get one for cheap and supercharge it for a real easy 200hp. me = i wanna keep the mk1 x-flow but the wagon could get a pinto... so anyways bought the blower and while reasearching shit on manifolds etc and talking about hp the idea i could maybe have 250hp out of the blown pinto made me quite excited. and maybe a lil hp hungry so then it was suggested that it would be "easier" to turbo efi the pinto and possibly cheaper for the same hp... yeah right everyone here said hard to do real expensive etc so i thought fuck it as id decided i wanted 250 hp that was that id use a diff engine at this point alistar made like 190kwatw out of a 4agte and that was that i had to have one 18psi and anitlag and xternal sounds fucken sweet. anyways i have to scan in the pics from before i started pulling it apart but we started like this poos arse 1300 out poos arse 4spd escort box out empty escort engine bay http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3830 ... db65a9.jpg sweet lowering springs starting to pull interior apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
