Guest MK1gaz Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Only nitrous is cheating , just the same as bolting a jet engine on the roof is
Guest MK1gaz Posted February 3, 2008 Report Posted February 3, 2008 Sambo if you want a whoooooooooosh pssssssssst turbo engine i know of a rebuilt standard spec cossie motor that's for sale in a few weeks for £1500

sambo Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 Will have to take you out in a 480bhp one, that will convert you Oooooh yes please. While i did love the serious poke of the boost throwing you in your seat, i think i might miss the induction roar too damn much!! ??
kevmk2 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Yeah you do miss the roar, but at the same time when you are flat out in an atmo car and a turbo'd escort comes flying past and becomes a blur in the distance you will think why didnt i go turbo, no need for super short gearing to make it go faster, you can have a 3.7 or 3.44 diff and still be quick and have a nice motorway cruiser without the engine revving its nuts off at 7000rpm doing 70mph in the slow lane That what i used to think when i had my pinto, it would be nice to have the best of both worlds but thats just not affordable Have a turbo'd car and an atmo monster, you will find an atmo escort will most of the time be quicker around a short track, unless you have big wheels and arches, which you do, like Paul baileys car, if anyone has seen that on track you will see how a high powered cossie engine can go in an escort, the ultimate weapon
sambo Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 Kev. Stop it!! your starting to convince me!!! Highly strung atmo's are amazing but i just seem to be bloody unlucky with them. Trouble is.... i am bloody skint now, so a turbo lump is out of the question..... unless i have a nice chat with my bank manager!! (or my parents!!) What do i do with the engine i have now!???
kevmk2 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Is it a complete engine? You could always sell it and put the money towards a turbo lump, just keep it simple, 3 bar map sensor, T3 or T34 and a set of greens, good for 300-330bhp running around 24psi of boost, i dont recommend anymore than that without a stud kit in the block cos the head will try lifting off the block Then theres gearbox's to think about and fuel system, it can be done quiet cheaply with the right bits. All depends how far you wanna go
sambo Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Posted February 4, 2008 Hmm.... not sure yet. I think for now, i'll see if Mr Wigger will take a butchers at it sometime soon. How much is it worth? Pinto bottom end, new 48's N/A cams, ported head, good for 200 bhp. If i get it freshened up (providing the damage isnt too serious) it's gotta be worth a few bob? Also, the SCCR rocket box wont be any use to me either with a turbo. Anyway, i dont have a penny to rub together at the moment so i am not in a position to think about turbo engines!! Cheers Kev.
