BIG G Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Well ive finally finished my Budget YB for my escort. The plan is to install it this winter as well as another tidy up under the bonnet. Hope it goes as fast as it looks lol
emu Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 It certainly looks good Fingers crossed for the start-up. How did you get along with the pinto head that needed welding?
BIG G Posted September 17, 2011 Author Report Posted September 17, 2011 that head was shattered and not reparable bit weird really to be honest. how have you got along with the rev limiter issue on yours
DEP Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Looks spot on Gordy,, Even if its not that fast, i m sure it will sound the nuts
over_head_cam Posted September 17, 2011 Report Posted September 17, 2011 Nice Herr Gordon Lets hope it will prove the money checkers wrong
BIG G Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Posted September 18, 2011 Cheers lads Im gonna take ole smokey to bits when its out and give it a freshen it up ready for the day
Fiesta Steve Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Looks good m8 Nice to see another red engine, worth 3 bhp across the rev range
4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 looks lovely mate, really like that crackle (old style) cam cover!
Billy_smith Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 Top work mate what's the spec? if you dont mind me asking. And did you keep to a set budget? or just keep things as cheap as possible? p.s cam cover looks the business
emu Posted September 18, 2011 Report Posted September 18, 2011 that head was shattered and not reparable bit weird really to be honest. how have you got along with the rev limiter issue on yours Thats a shame still, was worth a try. At least you can use it as a pattern I guess. I sorted the rev limiter problem.... I ripped it all off and stuck it back on the twin choke
BIG G Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Posted September 22, 2011 Thought you mite go back to a twin choke
emu Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Was the easiest way round it To be honest, apart from being a bit of more difficult to start from cold its not made much difference to how it drives. I put on a ebay 'leccy ignition kit while I was at it and I think that has made a bigger difference to how it runs
w p e Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 i got one of them budget yb's did'nt cost me a penny
willsy Posted September 23, 2011 Report Posted September 23, 2011 You'll catch a few sheep with that mate! Worry not Nice work!
