cosworth manifold 2wd or 4wd for escort mk2

[fostersice]

hi guys

 

do i use a 2wd manifold or 4wd manifold when fitting a mk2 escort

 

just asking as i pick up my brand new escort cosworth 4x4 engine tomorrow

and i know i have to change the sump to a 2wd sump but dont know what else i have to change

 

help please

i am led to believe that you should use the 4x4 head and manifold and you wont have any clearence probs cos if you use the 2wd you may have to alter the inner wing slightly. i think the 4x4 mani sits closer to the engine

you can use either manifold on either head ,more clearance with 4x4 manifold but more restrictive if your running alot of power,but up to 400hp 4x4 one is fine with quicker spool on the turbo

I'm looking to run 375bhp

using t34 48housing 360thurst -31 act

light blue injectors

3bar map sensor

race filter

 

So 4x4 manifold is good

 

so do I need to change anything else,

 

I know I have to change sump

 

But is there anything else???

 

Thanks guys

just to let you know if you want to run 375hp on a t34 you will have to run alot of boost ,around 30/32psi and to be fare if you drive it as a daily hard,your turbo wont last long at all just a thought chap,but you could allways invest in a boost controller,which will control the boost better and you can run a lower boost for everyday driving and turn it up for track/quarter mile,just thinking of your pocket
