mattydski 560 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Happened to find myself at my mates house the afternoon.....Miss-read the watch and thought it was home time. I mentioned on the last post that the Escort was off the road for ........mods... So here it is in the finishing stages of preparation. Currently, having the new exhaust fitted to the new turbo, after havig the Tractive sequential gearbox installed, and the new in gear boost control fitted, and the dry sump commisioned. Oh, and the rest of the goodies............... The engine has had a rebuild, and is now ok to accept up to 600 ish horse power, which the engine management and turbo, together with in-gear boost control is perfectly capeable of giving. But we reckon well stick to about 400-450. More pics next post Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattydski 560 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Looking good MDS is that a cone nose RS2000????or a MK2 with a bit more under the bonnet .Me old man had a Daytona yellow MK2 1.3 popular,proper hot rod It was an RS2000...many moons ago. Its had a cossi motor for years now.. Ex saphire cosworth But we only went neolithic on it 3 years ago, when we stripped it to bare metal , and put the new cage in it. I did the roll cage and body work welding for him... . The car is awesome, even at 300 horses.. Now..........with the dry sump and sequential box.... :sick: . And 450hp :sick: :sick: The turbo and management and plenum chamber are all ex touring car. When the car was broken, my mate got the turbo and management............Andy Gallacher bought the rest..........the gear is that quality... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andy s410c 63 Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 You must go through some rear tyres them MDS NO TRACTION CONROL i would think????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattydski 560 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 You must go through some rear tyres them MDS NO TRACTION CONROL i would think????? Yeah.....even at 300 hp..1000miles a set. But, with in-gear boost control, should help with the wheel spin... Hoping to keep the boost at a mangeable level in 1-2-3 then ......................4-5-6 with full titty . The management system will take traction controlif required....but that is phase 3..

mattydski 560 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 This was a picture before the 2nd gen mods. This was running at about 300hp here.It was allready lapping knockhill in under a minute. We called it the nodding dog...........due to the repetitive nature of the passengers head movements Quote Link to post Share on other sites
