Glad to see you jumped the pond
The escort looks great thats the intake mani i was thinking about. to see if it fits the US model. At least’s its metal not plastic like ours
its useless, it restricts flow above 160-170bhp, and its a designed for use with side fed injectors which are immovable and spray onto the back of valves- further restricting power… what you need is a rover 200 turbo manifold… straight fit to the zetec, and with a new fuel rail and some bigger injectors you’ll have an ideal setup for 250 plus bhp
the other option is a cvh turbo inlet manifold - this uses reaily available bosch injectors and isn’t as restrictive, it would however require and adaptor plate to fit a zetec head… or your head re drilling and tapping to accept
i’ve had the car for a year this month, but the work was done a few months ago - we spent a few months doing the engine suspension brakes etc etc then we did the body kit and paint in a week
Wow!! That looks great!!
Welcome to the site:) Everyone on this site is awesome, if you ever need any help with anything or just have a question just ask. There is always someone willing to help:)
i’m in the north east, but the biggest ford show in europe is on on saturady the 6th of august, http://www.fordfair.co.uk
what sort of bhp do you zx’s put out? i’m guessinbg how ever much therte will be a euro model to beat it… there the escos with 6 seconds to 60mph and a 140mph top speed as standard
Roush- Unfortunatley, I do not have my Z over here. It would bve to difficult getting it legalized over here, after all of the stuff I’ve removed.
Mirror- That depends on what Escort you are talking about. Unless you are referring to an RS or Cossie, stock for stock we are faster.
ScORTED- I’m down in Gloucestershire, near Swindon. Most ZX2’s have 130 bhp… and we only weigh 2478 lbs… um… that’s… 177 stone. I’m sure the RS’s and Cossie’s are faster, but other than that, we should be pretty well ahead.
i think Jenzx2 has hers over there i know she had it legalized 4 the UK
She has 99 s/r and i would bet a non turboed eScort UK vs. a NON turboed US escort would be a close one I know the S/R has a top end of 136 mph so it should be close.
