Injector position was half the reason for using itb's, there no space for injectors further down the manifold and getting it fabricated up without sending them the head was a pain. I'm not too bothered about that really as it's only economy that'll suffer so I'm told?
I use to run a Cossie 4x4 T3 in the escort .36 turbine housing on the c1j. Wasn't very laggy just a bit lazy would imagine it being better on your lump.Originally Posted by Andrew Cooke
you might want to keep your eyes open for a T3 off an Escort RS Turbo. From memory you have a 40 trim compressor and a .24ar exhaust housing and the escort is a 45 trim with a .36 exhaust. (from memory, so almost certainly faulty information.) That'll either turn it into a laggy POS, or a boost monster
Boost threshold was about 3.3/3.5k once in third gear it went very well indeed. From what I read around 220/230 is the max out of the .36 with a bucket load of boost.
Are the t3 exhaust housings pretty interchangeable? I'll do an eBay scour shortly and see what I can find
I think the ford ones all use the same rear wheel trim. I first used a 2wd cosworth T3 in the .36 than later used the 4wd in the same housing.
cool stuff. so i assume the 4wd used a bigger front end?
Had a chat with bill at badger 5 (vag tuner) who looks after my daily, he makes up custom inlets for the vag fraternity, he said he cam make me up a plenum in the new year so i think ill go down that route rather thank hack more of the car about. itll probably be very basic but itll get the air into the cylinders im sure. Im reading contradicting info on the web regarding having trumpets inside a turbo inlet plenum. any one have any input?
The car will most likely be worked on slowly over winter now as i do smaller jobs like the wiring and fuel line plumbing. Aim is to have the car back out and on the road for national day so i have a while yet....
I'm pretty sure the Turbo2 had a .36ar housing. T3 exhaust housing should all be interchangeable, they use the same wheel. The only thing you might be interested in is that series 1 RS turbo didn't have watercooling, so that might be one to look for I don't think you have water cooling?
When it comes to cossies I think they have .48 ar exhaust housings, 50 trim compressor on the 2 door, and 60 trim on the 4 door. I'd stick to the series 1 escort jobbie
nice one cheers. i didnt have water cooling for a turbo no but i did have it for thecarb so i could retro fit it if i needed too.
My neighbour has 4 brand new gordini turbo alloys and wants to sell them.! Ill post some pics up.no mate, im actually going to convert the hubs to fit the wheels. finding decent r5 3 stud fitment alloys will cost upwards of 1k. bit much for me. the hubs are studded already, so ill punch them out and redrill in the ford fitment the wheels are in
Good stuff adey, should be epic when finished!
If you ever need any machining or stuff drawing up just let us know. In fact if you need any custom stuff making a very good friend is very very good. Good enough for noble to use him to make custom bitsmetal working god and love making **** at his unit......allllllll the toys
Badger5 remember bill from when I had my old ibiza cupra thing and seems a good guy
DG
started removing bits for space and removing some brackets that used to support the carb.
still undecided what to do with the plenum, the jenvey turbo plenum looks like a nice design and is so say designed for proper distribution of air? does this really make a difference on a turbo motor?
also got a package from andrew cooke today
some sort of camshaft type thing?
Whoa, nice, uprated dipstick. Only fitted from the factory in France.
angle grinder came out......... more welding now needed
now thats done i can get on lifting the engine and box out. tidy up all the cuts and weld in some material to make it all solid again. While they are out i can fit new fuel lines and get the tank modified with larger feed and return lines
No messing about
Will the bonnet clear ok that way?
yeah this way round i can close the bonnet without any issues. A little more work to sort it out but should be better in the long run
