Muzzman Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Mmmm tempting........ I'd imagine the car would be pretty undriveable with one of these in though<br /><br />http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/161447434285?nav=SEARCH
Vista Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 Not at all, there are lots of YB conversions out there and depending on the standard of job done, the mapping in the engine and the suspension / grip set up some of them drive very nicely. My van is easy to drive and behaves impeccably when you're not on it, but is capable of much greater things when you are.
theloudboy Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Muzzman I got a Y/B in my escort but its in N/A form they go in so easy like I've got if you come down the next eagle meet I will be there in my mex I'm not working for once come and have a look
Skimmer Posted October 16, 2014 Report Posted October 16, 2014 Muzzman ive also got one in my Escort van and drives no differently than a pinto in traffic and have / do use it on a daily basis , out of interest how much did the setup on the ebay link you put up go for ..........Go YB youll never regret it
timsrs2 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Posted October 28, 2014 I have a YB in mine producing circa 380 bhp. With all the other mods done etc makes a very fast car. I have upgraded to bilstein coilovers, 6 linked, AP brakes, all chassis strenthening. 2
deltamal Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 The YB I had in my Mk3 Cortina (na) was very well behaved on the road, but with the NOS connected it was doing 13.1 on the strip, full weight car, 2
tawny Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 A YBT in an escort does all sorts of jobs it takes your gran to the shops it returns a good fuel economy it wont want constant attention due to going off song it will also put a big smile on your face when you push the loud peddle it will scare the s...t out of you in the wet all in a good motor to have in your escort 2
turnover Posted October 31, 2014 Report Posted October 31, 2014 At the end of the day it depends on what power your running ,and how you drive it with the pedal ,let's face it 300hp in any car that weighs under a ton isn't slow on the road,
Skimmer Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 I think that just about sums up a YB ....... :D A YBT in an escort does all sorts of jobsit takes your gran to the shopsit returns a good fuel economyit wont want constant attention due to going off songit will also put a big smile on your face when you push the loud peddleit will scare the s...t out of you in the wetall in a good motor to have in your escort
