Nick Posted June 3, 2012 Report Posted June 3, 2012 I hear a rumour that malta are going pretty mad over ford td's any figures, pic's, info on what engines they running in fords over there and how they've made them fast????? I heard of a fiesta td doing 14's with standard internals..... Apparently they use the escort td engine with a cossy turbo, massive boost, front mount, something out of a transir diesel pump (governer i think) and increased fuel pressures. Im planning on shoving in my 100e
shaun1.6ghia Posted June 3, 2012 Author Report Posted June 3, 2012 Ahh did you buy the 1 from jonjo??? good plan, u'll have to let me know how it goes and what you do to it
Nick Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 No shaun, i baught it off retro rides last year but its sat on my dads drive atm till i get decent amounts of time to do abit of work on it. im gunna use the escort td engine with them mods mentioned when i get round to it. You thinking of doing it to your escort?
LUKE261 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 yea turnovers right there is a mental fiesta 1800 td
turnover Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 more of a drag car but still fwd and with the old ford diesel in it
LUKE261 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 sure there was a feature in classic ford mag once wernt there
Savvi Posted June 4, 2012 Report Posted June 4, 2012 They fit loads of Diesels over there, but they tend not to use antifreeze which buggers the alloy heads up, as i found with my toyota Td that came from there. This was a mk1 escort i nearly bought with the fiesta lump fitted: Click link as i cant get videos embedded anymore.
Nick Posted June 7, 2012 Report Posted June 7, 2012 How much torque steer this is exactly why im in the middle of planning a diesel engine to go into my 100e anglia more for the mpg and daily driver ness, but have the torque and power if needed

This was a mk1 escort i nearly bought with the fiesta lump fitted: Click link as i cant get videos embedded anymore. so savvi, ur saying they don't run antifreeze and just running water messes them up, or the antifreeze messes them up?lol wow good power from a diesel, guess when they get that modded they in't no better than petrol for MPG and just as easy to break... something to think about tho isn't it.. nahh escort staying zetec just having a think about another project on the way - something different
Savvi Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 They dont use antifreeze, which although obviously stops the water freezing in the winter here, they dont need over there cos of the nice weather, problem is antifreeze also has properties to stop inernal corrosion more so on alloy heads. By not using it the waterways get enlarged and wear the alloy away. This was mine fitted, i did drive it and it went very well with the type9 5 speed, however it was short lived as it overheated when i ran it for a while and pressuized the system
Andrade Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 They dont use antifreeze Yes we do, but there's plenty of people (as with anywhere else for that matter) with an "anything goes" policy that just pour tap water in the radiator, more and more so if the water vanishes from the rad every odd week and never bother to check the thing
Savvi Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Sorry im sure you do cos your into cars, but from what ive been told by someone who also comes from Malta majority of the cars didnt have it
