Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

if your buying new they only do 1, ( although there is a cheaper basic fuel and ignition one only in the pipeline but you wont want that one)

if you buying used, all the M3DK will do turbos, dont buy an early M3D one with a 5 pin din type plug, only the later M3DK 9 pin computer comms type plug one, proir to serial number circa around 1200 they will do turbos but wont be upgradable to the latest all singing dancing software, best get the serial number and phone emerald, leoni will soon find out for you, if its on ebay she will probably know the answer before you even ask!

if you buy new from them feel free to use my name and try to precure a bit extra discount!

dave also has the most reasonable mapping charges i've ever come across, and if your cars good you have a fair chance of getting a pic in a mag in one of dave columes which my just help swing a sponsor

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

whatever ecu you use you really want the ecu to control the boost presure, that way you can have a nice predicable power delivery, that will back the boost off on the smaller throttle positions for greater control.

presumably you could also use these new fangled electronic boost comtrollers just as effectively?

i guess so, but i'd rather have an ecu with proper full mapped control over everything than use add ons

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

you can use passive ALS which is more forgiving ticks over at about 1/2 a bar rather than the full aggresive ALS
MUST SAY LOOKING VERY NICE DAVE

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Not sure about ALS, think as long as the gearing is ok it wont be so beneficial on circuits.
Things like that can be added later into the ecu if necessary along with the T/C while Mr Bahr's not looking

yes you got it that and driving style and you wont get lag, basically as long as your turbos are not too big, it should be like mine, even on a trailing throttle it should be lag free as long as you take an apex with 4,000 rpm still on the motor

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Plumbed in the brakes today all bar the reservoirs, well Mr Pipe did anyway

All done in nice braided hose with bulkhead fittings from Speedflow and Rally design, and held in place by neat cable tie holders so that any lengths of it can be moved without bleeding the system or drilling rivets out

Front brake line to inner wing bulkhead fitting;


Inside lines all neatly run;


Also fire extinguisher refitted on riv-nuts in footwell;


Next; plumb in extinguisher tomorrow
