escort wagon garret tubo suggestions

BilLster · 06-29-2003, 10:48 PM

#1 a friend dropped by and lets us know he has a rebuilt 1.9 CFI motor since his car got hit before the new engine whent in.
#2 my Dads 86 wagon has had a head bolt problem for ever.
#3 Dad gives us the wagon.(which also has some spare parts in it like a T-3 A/R .48 an old n20 bottle lines but no sylenoids)
#4 there starting a import race only series only rules fwd 4 cyl
#5 I think getting beat by a old escort wagon would humble some of these ricers , I would like to swap it to multiport fuel injection and add the turbo but cant find any info on the web.(got alot of hits on escort)
#6 I got out voted on putting a 302 in the back with direct drive from the trans to a 8.8 rear .

so does anyone know of any escort sites(car) or good info on swapping from cfi to multiport. i have one friend who claimed it was pretty involved and the maf on those cars sucks any how so he wasnt much help.

I know guys here have swapped speed density to MAF and back and forth .

I dont know much about 4 cyl fords as ive never owned one before but this would solve our problem of the wife wanting to race also.

the car will be gutted and i found out my old 10 holes will fit.

any help will be apreciated and maybe it will work out.

I dont know man converting a non turbo car to a turbo car with junkyard kit is a pain in the @ss and on top of that you will have to find out how to make it MPFI.

If it were me I would throw a carb on that car with a healthy shot of Nitrous.

Easy, Simple and fast.

Here is one Escort Website I know of - FWIW

Ford Escort Owners Association

How 'bout you just buy this: (From EBAY)

1994 Ford Escort RS Cosworth

Not for the faint of heart 345 BHP

All wheel drive 5 Speed manual

Turbo Charged RS Cosworth Engine

3800 miles

Free flow exhaust

Oversize fuel rail

Hi press fuel pump

Hi flow Injectors

Remapped ECU w/chip

Cold Air intake

Rally spec wheels-factory

Quick release MoMo steering wheel

Recaro Seats

$3000 Sound system

If you do not know what this is, find out! This is a personal import into the US in only very limited numbers (under ten I believe) The car was involved in minor accident to the rear quarter panel and because the parts could not be imported in a timely manner, the insurance company totalled it out so the car has a rebuilt NH title VIN WFOBXXGKABRY93636

I want to buy it and say I smoked someone in an Escort. But I'm biased because I already own an Escort.

Talk about sleeper. Those Ford cars overseas are way cool

am i the only one that thinks that sounds a little shady? minor accident, totalled it for one rear quarter... i dont know my escorts but that just looks like a body kit, couldnt a regular escort panel fit? hah i guess im a bit skeptical after reading that story of the guy that bought the stolen beamer m3 with the screwed up title

I was thinking the exact same thing.

thanks guy's I'm still having some problems getting the engine out of the car. only the second time I've removed CVC joints.

I have decided to make an encloser for the cfi and keep the turbo down to 5 lbs and look for a 95 SFI harness and computer and intake.
