DavidTheCreator Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 heaps is involved, how much work will you be doing yourself? how good are you with wiring? heaps can be spent pinto would be easier and a good upgrade disk brake rear end isnt needed, bigger front discs are though i think these questions has come up a few times before...

BS5620 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Iv been putting one into my mk1 cortina over the last few years. Its been a big, slow job, but i have learnt a heap along the way. Would be heaps easier if you were a good welder!! To get it wired up was around $500. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCADTA Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 wiring wont be that bad once you get ya head round it, theres alot of people on here with alot of knowledge on 4ages to help ya out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 yeh wiring isnt hard, if using a standard ecu and loom. basically need to supply the ecu and power feed for injectors/ coil etc, fuel pump relay. best to strip all the bs out of the loom while your at it tho. then just need to wire charge circuit for the alt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Buy that car on link above.. It will be the cheapest way you will do it. Also I have had one before and didnt rate the 4age in escort.... unless a turbo is added! Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
