which YB

[CossiePower]

dont know wheather to go turbo or atmo YB in a mk1 escort whats peoples opinons

[marky4]

i would go atmo, buts thats just my opion

[samurai]

Depends on how much money you got

[banarama]

atmo for me

[sambo]

If money isnt an object, go N/A mate. Quicker 0-60, better noise and they look the tits too. In my opinion, it is only woth going N/A YB if you get a really good build. High comp and 220bhp etc

 

But, fitting a YB turbo is alot cheaper! and still fooking awesome!

It's just the noise that puts me off, it doesnt suit a mk1 escort!

[4parajon]

Turbo for me, and it suits a mk2 perfectly IMO

TURBO MK1

 

[sambo]

HAHA! ^^^^^^

 

thats my old engine!

[CossiePower]

both sound pritty awrsom@ does anyone know if ya can still use an english axel for atmo yb with abit of strengtehing

[sambo]

Alot of people do mate.

MK1 Gaz is running an english and he has alot of power! If you keep to 6j wheels and tyres, you should be fine mate.

[CossiePower]

would i also need to go for a big gearbox tunnel and t5 box of atmo or can i stuck with a 4speed box and small gearbox tunnel

if so whats the best box

[sambo]

You dont need a T5 for atmo use mate.

Just a strong rocket or Type 9 will be fine.

I used a BGH type 9 with my last N/A YB and it was fine. Also used a quaife 4 speed which is more than man enough.

 

A standard type 9 wont last very long though mate so get a gear set fitted or buy a complete box.

[CossiePower]

thanks mate was hoping i didnt have to chop the gearbox tunnel didnt want to do that till it get 5 linked in afew years

[sambo]

Yeah, an english with decent box and small, skinny tyres will all be ok. the torque that the N/A cossie will be making wont be ott, about 185lbft for a decent one. Not exactly turbo league!

[deltamal]

Mines Atmo, 2.4 with 12:1 comp, 260 bhp 244 torque without the Nos, T5 box, Tina 2.3 axle with Capper slipper diff and Fostec half shafts, have had to beef it up a bit running the Nos this year....

[LEONMEX]

decent engines ain't cheap but well worth it and a rebuild will be even worse secondhand engine that was well known of was the best way for me to buy
