Hi Cam
It runs well 11psi on premium unleaded and 17psi on 85E
this motor has a nice small cam in it so it comes on full boost
at 1650rpm and runs all the way to 7100rpm
It give a lot of people a shock as it is only a 1600

Good stuff, very cool setup you have there. What sort of power are you making out of this thing ?

Have you considered running an intercooler ? A cooler intake charge could only help your cause.

Cheers.

Hi Damion yer its a good set up as for power??did not make it to the
dyno[8~2]
I have just got a new programmable ignition for it so that may help with the pinging and new motor is 7 1/2 to one com as well so should be better this time round
PJ

Normally the tops come upwards, not downwards on pushrods. You find the little bit in the sump?

Nice motor BTW, shame about the body wrapped around it....[}:)][xx(]

I got some ARP bolts should you need them.

It seams that the top rings were pushed down as the top ring was lose and the second would not move. The bit was still stuck in there lucky.

PS mk1-mk2 as long as its a escort

hey so i read ur using mechanical ignition, i never noticed, but i did notice you have somethign driven by a pulley near the bottom, is that some sort of a fuel distributer? or pump?

intrested to know

thanks

Hi Sterling
Yep its mechanical injected and yes it is a fuel pump
PJ

did you construct the setup urself? ur was it off another car?

thanks

Hi Sterling
The set up was made for a 1600 kent There are some set ups for other cars out there but i have not seen one on the street.
My was made in 1969 i have had it 23 years and on my Escorts for 22 years and with the turbo for 7 years.
All the turbo set up was made by me.

Thanks PJ
