Hi, very very good work. Where I can found the manifold ? I want to do the same for my kent. Thank you for your answer.

The manifold was custom made from steam pipe bends. I kept the design simple and made a log style manifold. I cut it to shape and a friend TIG welded it together for me.

You will have to make everything yourself to turbo a Kent engine unfortunately.

The rims look great, are they 15's? Do you recall what size and offset they are? And if you had any troubles finding the right fit?

I'm looking at SAAB 15's at the moment but I've read that the backspacing on them is too great causing the rim to foul on the front strut. They seem like a cheap option when comparing to a new set of superlites

I'd like to know if you think it would still be cheaper than installing an EFI motor (eg:4AGE)
Thanks

Very nice.

Are they almost gulf colours? [%]

If so post haste on blue wheels and a central blue stripe.

Otherwise carry on with the awesomeness.

The wheels have been on the car for over 6 years and are 16"x 6 ROH Venturo's which are still available. Sorry don't know the offset. I run 45 series rubber but had to trim the front corner of the guards ever so slightly as they did rub when on full lock.

For me this was a much cheaper option. It would have been a lot more expensive if I did EFI the Kent and would have probably gone with a whole different engine rather than to try to inject it. I wanted to keep the setup old school as it's more of a period mod for the Escort.

very nice setup!

i must ask tho. does the intake come over the top of alternator or did you move that to the other side?

more photos [:x)]

Alternator is in it's original position, manifold sits over the top with plenty of clearance.

WOW...... that is one tidy engine bay there!

Full credit to you. The attention to detail is right up there mate.

Hi, thank you for your answer.
Happy new year!

Where are you find the Weber is a 40mm DCOE on an original manifold?
Haven't you no problem whith your turbo, because you haven't intercooler?

Thank you.

Bye.

Running an intercooler with a suck-through set up is extremely dangerous. The fuel & air has already been mixed..
