tlrelli Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Hi all was going to be putting a cossie yb in my escort but am thinking of keeping it more simple and going to go pinto but would like 200bhp now have been told a few things i need ie cossie crank,rods,but after that im lost just want to get the parts i need so your help would be good
countrybumpkin Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 it takes a lot of work to get 200bhp out of a pinto you would do better going n/a cosworth, if you go with the pinto your going to need steel rods and crank, forged pistons as a start if pinto is the wy you want to go i would speak to a engine builder for there advice
RS264 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 A mate just sold his 234bhp Mk2 Escort. It had a Pinto with a Cossy crank, 45 DCOE Webers, own designed electronic ignition and had run it on methanol. A very quick Mk2! All self built too..

bortaf Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Efi bootom end will do, check out turbo sports there a chap on there building 2 pintos, 1 balls out racer 1 milder street motor Personly i doubt it's any more expensive to get an 8V pinto to 200 BHP than it is to get a cossie head worked to N/A
Darran Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Very easy to get 200hp from pinto 2.2 on a std crank (no need the steel crank) diesel rods forged pistons Ht /vulcan race head 48s/50s and away you go

A YB crank and steel rods is expensive overkill.
tlrelli Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 Whatengine do the diesel rods come out of
Admin Vista Posted August 25, 2008 Admin Report Posted August 25, 2008 1.8 escort or fiesta diesle Nope, 1.6 diesel from a mk2 Fiesta or Mk 3 escort
tlrelli Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 Oh poo just brought some off ebay said they was good for pinto aswell
