cosworth mk2 escort

[fostersice]

hi guy need help

 

been offered a cosworth 4x4 enging complete less sump

 

can i run this in a mk2 rs2000?

 

i was going to have a pinto built to 2.1 using my new twin 45s but this cosworth lump is cheaper then the rebuild of the pinto.

 

can i use the engine?

 

can i still use the turbo with the twin 45s ?

 

the engine was runnin 330bhp when taken out of the car.

 

do i use a 2wd cosworth sump or get a rs2000 sump?

 

thanks guys

i dont think its possible to use the carbs for the turbo setup. 1 the carbs are used through vaccum and a turbo engine will runpressure when on boost.

2 you would need an air box to connect the carbs up to the turbo

and 3 you'll need to comletely change the wiring

 

you'll need to have a cossie ecu and loom

and you'll have to have a cossie sump as the rs2000 hasn't got an oil return fotr the turbo.(although you could weld one on.)

apart from that its pretty straight forward

[mk2 escy ron]

carbs with turbo is a no no and as above with the sump cos the cossie one also has a spray bar i believe

[fastferretzetecmk1]

The spray bar is to cool the base of the pistons, ive fitted an RS200 sump to a YB block, had to tig weld a turbo return pipe in to the side, i ran an extra oil cooler to get a bit more oil in to the engine,

You can run Jenvey throttle bodies with a turbo though

there brining out a plenum for them too - and there BIG money (IIRC) (look the sex tho )

 

couldnt you also use 152 weber 45 carbs? (esprit turbo IIRC)

 

BUT- stick with the standard injecton setup - i doubt ou would gain anything, proably loose performance and be £400+ down.. (unless your 45's are 152's - still dont bother )

these cost me juat over £1000 complete

as i was going to build the pinto stage 5 but had someone say about cosworth on carbs that got me thinking

[PIG]

what,stage 5?

[fostersice]

what,stage 5?

 

there a engine builds in grays essex the does a pinto rebuild and you can have standard all the way upto stage4 then stage 5 is abt bolt kit?

 

complete build giving me a 190bhp pinto engine will cost me £1700

plus the twin 45s and i still need to get geatbox,sump and pick up

 

so do i stick to pinto or just go cossie

 

which means sell the twin 45s and go cosworth and ecu

 

i didnt really want to go ecu

 

just wanted to stick with the carbs which looks like i would have to go pinto ??

[Mr Sam]

have you considered NA cosworth?? then you can use the carbs on the cossie,,,probably the most expensive option tho as you'd have to change all the internals to run higher comp

 

the cossie you have been offered has it any proof of power and how long its been built as you could end up getting it all going and discover a 6 months down the line you need a re-build

[fostersice]

theres my problem

£1000 for a cosworth engine

plus wiring ecu and what ever else i may need to fit

then i could end up with a donky

 

or spend £1700 on a brand new built engine with photos and bills of proof of whats been done

 

giving me good power and useing the new twin 45s i got?

 

what to do.?

190bhp for £1700
