Re: Kevmk2 - Mk2 Escort - YB Cosworth Turbo

It is a nice motor, i've seen it a few times, very clean and well implemented, i reckon it needs a bigger turbo though

Been a bit silly over the years with credit cards and loans etc,and am now paying for it big time. All my own fault though.

SNAP! Is the reason i'm driving around in a £300 Pegeout 405 diesel at the moment, does 50mpg though, so it's not all bad (well thats a lie, it is bad )

Thanks mate,my mate Jason done my 5 link for me. I held bits in place for him and he welded it,so sort of a joint effort i guess He also done my cage for me too,that took ages getting all the right angles cut etc.

Thanks Wes,id love to put a GT30 on it but with internal wastegate on it still. Saves loads of money on a proper manifold being made up,my mates inconel manifold was £2k Thats with an indy car wastegate,does look the nuts though.
I may do some mods if the engine comes out for a freshen up this winter,it would of had 3 years of abuse by then including two track days that ive done so far and lots of drag racing
I may lower the compression ratio,change the cams and put a bigger turbo on,all depends on funds
Thing is,it spins up in 3rd and 4th as it is on the road,so more power would make it even more silly on the road,would have to use treaded slicks all the time for the road.
