    cheers mate. at the moment its pretty standard until i can afford to get an aftermarket ecu like a link or something.running r34 t3 turbo, s/s manifold, hks ssqv, intercooler, hks eids,bosch fuelpump, ca16 cams, but have some other stuff for it like 510cc injectors, bigger afm etc. will be street legal and mite put a half cage in it as well.

    Agree with esk-74, nice job!

    What are the wheels as a matter of interest?

    the wheels are jap two piece techno-R rims i got off trade me (like your e bay) and are 15 x 9 with 205/50 tyres on them.

    well after lookin around for some front bumpersand to tight to pay what some people are askin for them, i got board and decided to make my own

    had a spare rear bumper lyin around so out with the angle grinder

    By qcadta

    then after some more cuttin, odd bash with the hammer, and a bit of welding, i came up with a couple of these

    By qcadta

    then a trial fit,

    By qcadta

    then gave them a bit of a smooth out and close enough to finished. call me tight


    By qcadta

    now have the task of makin them shinyer, and makin some brackets to hold them on. all good.

    Damn cool machine! The CA18DET is the best bang for buck engine replacement for Escort. And easy to do to. What's your brake set up? Booster obviously removed but can't see a master cylinder or any remote reserviors.

    Also, 205 on a 9" wide rim is not a good idea. Maximum width rim for a 205 is 7". For 9" you need minimum 255.

    Also, that Honda Civic(?) radiator might be too small to keep temp's steady, specially in traffic or hot days. Having such a big I/C in front of it blocking cool air flow will not help either. If anything, I (if it was my car) would switch radiator and I/C sizes around.

    Do you need such a big I/C? Unless you planning on a huge turbo/power upgrade.. say over 200RWKW, that I/C is not helping your power output and delivery at all. If anything, it's sucking up power. Just advise mate, not bagging.

    Its the e bay kit for the escort with a land rover master cylinder, as theyre 1" bore and bolt straight up, which also suits the hilux rear. 205 are fine, alot over her run 195/45 on rims that wide, i dont want to take it for a 4wd on ballons, and turin tyres that wide with out power steering gets a bit heavy. radiator is fine, it doesnt get hot, we have very few hot days as i live here, its summer. and about 14 deg out today. sitting in traffic is not an issue, i live in a city of 50,000 people, it is a weekend car, if i wanted to drive in traffic id take the altezza or hiace.

    and the intercooler is fine, i have a spare engine im building up as this setup is just to get it on the road.
