[br]Looking good Mark, What size rear housing is that ?

Is the internal wastegate part just bolted on the the back of the usual external gate housing ? (if you get what i mean)

Best of luck on the dyno

I thought there were only problems encountered with pulling the exhaust studs out when running the heavier 2wd manifold ?

Cheers.

Should not be a problem with the 4x4 manifold. It is so tucked into the side of the head that the bending moment is pretty small and my exhaust is well hung to reduce loads, but nothing is for sure I suppose.

GT30/76R
A/R = 0.86 turbine and 0.6 compressor.
Cast internal gate housing to V-band exhaust adaptor.

[br]Looks good mate. I can see a major problem with that set up, that I dont think your going to be able to fix easily tho. Your tyres arent wide enough and 365s arent going to fit under those gaurds [(#)]
Bring on the arches I say

---

You need to have a weak point - let's make it consummables rather than mechanical rotating parts[;^)]

I definately agree ! That said there is more than one escort that has gone quickly on the drag strip with standard arches.

I will be curious to hear what you think of the new gearbox as well.

The gearbox is mad. Not too loud, only third makes "noise" and it is tough so no complaints here.

Today's Dyno session is not happeneing due to meetings, oh and I am fitting a new water pump too. I hope to be there within a week.

Nothing wrong with a bit of gearbox whine!

What sort of pump will you be using, 2wd cossie? I never did find anyone who makes a 2wd alloy pump with cast impeller [x2x]

btw turbo looks

Thats excellent, if it is good for you it will definately be something that I will be looking into when I start chasing some proper hp in the future.

This is one of the early plots (got late and just grabbed one of the 21 runs done); the boost control is all sorted now and we make the same power at 24psi. So the stock motor produces 260kW atw approx. By the way it is awesome to drive and already turns the tyres in an instant if requested. So numbers aside it is great.
I have 4 set points in the e-boost 2; approx 16, 20, 24 and 28 psi.

The power is the same from 24psi onwards, just comes in earlier with more boost. This was already evident with Phil’s car. So maybe we will look at increasing the flow capacity of the motor in the future but for now it is berserk enough. [88]
