Joe @ GSM Cossie Anglia

[Retromotorsport]

Got Joes car in for some work, he bought the car minus a gearbox tunnel and the bulkhead has allready been moved, the car came painted along with the bubbles.

I've got on his list, re-do the bulkhead, fit gearbox tunnel, prop and diff tunnels, turrets, 5 link, cage and some small restoration bits.

Heres some snaps

Nice work again, will look cool on those wheels if it rides that low .

What spec cossie engine is joe building for it ?

[Dan]

good stuff

[NorthernBloke]

Niiiice

Seems Anglia's (100 and 105's) are the next Escorts at the moment - nice ones popping up all over the place

[angliaant]

nice one... them wheels do look very nice tucked up under there

anglias are the new escorts

will hopefully be down friday if i can get a lift mate

[Kevmk2]

Nice one, was going to do some work on that myself for Joe. He can talk for england, so may not get much done

Just such a shame everyone keeps trying to turn their Anglias into escorts instead of just enjoying them as Anglias and all that that brings with it.


Nice bit of Gary-Fab though !

Another retro thread to follow

Keep the pic's comming,are you not tempted to rework the rear bubbles to your usual anglia spec?

[timmyrs]

another great project!

[joe GSM]

Thanks gary so far so good .

[mk1matt]

very cool. Got some grea steering mods too
Nice to meet you the other day too joe

[rrust2000]

car is looking really cool, ive met that joe to , he can talk for england, and eat for england and italy also,

u muppet i would smack u on the chin but i dont know wot one to hit

[105Ian]

Nice work Gary as usual , your car is in safe hands now Joe

[joe GSM]

cheers mate just been looking at yours its comming along well the finishing are the hard bits well done.

[Anders Kverneng]

More pics of this!

alan its having one of my 420 horse engine greys,t4,air inj thats if i dont change my mind.

awesome stuff... it should fly

gary did you get my Pm??

[sierra1off]

Joe what does air injection do and how does it work?

[Kevmk2]

Air injectors are like fuel injectors but they pass air instead of fuel basically. Im sure there is a much better way of describing them, but what do i know

[dangerousdave]

Its basically a more precise boost/actuator control method...and they are very dear!! If im right they stopped making the injectors a few years back so they command good money. Also some people run 2 sets of them just incase the main set fail!

[håkan]

Gary...
I think i most drive to England and kidnap you home to my garage... he he..
always doing i good looking job...!!!

//Håkan-swe

[Retromotorsport]

Hakan , du få så pass garage av din trevlig och värma första

och har en mycket God Jul och et god nytt år

[sierra1off]

Thanks Kev and dave but i dont get why you need to inject air?
wasnt it for emmissions?

[ronnienag]

not bad for an old shonker looking forward to when this is done, joe's told me to come on here so this is my first post too

[dangerousdave]

Thanks Kev and dave but i dont get why you need to inject air?

Its nothing to do with the internals of the engine!!

All they do is open and close the wastegate to control the boost. Think they originated on the wrc cars, particularly the escort cossies and so it became a tuning must have

[sierra1off]

Cheers Dave i get it now.

Joe,,, now your a grandad have you considered fitting an automaic

[luz008]

those wheels look awesome tucked up in the arches

off topic, but informative (not my info)

"The air injectors have an input to the top of them from the turbocharger and an output on the bottom to the wastegate. The injectors are wired to the ecu so they can be controlled.

The ecu air injector map is mapped against boost, rpm and air temperature. The injectors initially stay closed, keeping the wastegate closed too, encouraging the turbo to spin to speed as fast as possible. When the desired turbocharger pressure is aquired during mapping, the injectors are pulsed so that they open at that point, allowing air to flow to the wastegate. This of course opens the gate, bypassing some exhaust gas from the turbine wheel, slowing the compressor and leveling or dropping the boost pressure depending entirely of course on how much air we allow through. The beauty of this system is we can use a relatively weak actuator to achieve very large boost levels and we can accurately program boost curves into the system.

Any downsides?
Yes, if the injectors fail, due to the “Bleed On” configuration, the turbo will run whatever boost it can until something either stops it or something fails due to the fact we have blocked the pipe to the actuator."

[joe GSM]

Joe what does air injection do and how does it work?

Alan matey above me explained it spot on but in simple terms starts making boost at 2200 rpm and on full boost at 3500 and with the right cams loads of torque as well as horses thats why i use air inj.

welcome to ts ron show us some pics of your car mate their good bunch on here and like a three door.

[joe GSM]

Cheers Dave i get it now.

alan u pee taker since ive been a grandad i had nothing but loads of stick and been in bed with flu good start a

[ronnienag]

welcome to ts ron show us some pics of your car mate their good bunch on here and like a three door.

already done it mate in the gallery, did you remember what it was you had for me? your getting old now you see keep forgetting things

[sierra1off]

So whats the dfference between an amal valve and air injection they both control the air to the wastegate via an electric signal from the ECU

Confused of Billericay

[angliaant]

have you begun the engine build yet joe?
will the car be having another respray?
if not it should be quite a quick build shouldnt it???

yep a brill bunch on here and welcome aboard ronnienag

[angliaant]

p.s all this turbo stuff is confusing

[ronnienag]

thanks mate, dont think it's gonna be that a rebuild, joe likes to do everything properly

[angliaant]

if its worth doing its worth doing it properly

right a amal valve bleeds air to atmo air inj keep shut till the desired boost is reached hence it comes on boost quicker.

still cant think im gettin old
