I have a 3 door Sierra, originally 1,6l

Cool cars you have there xrscooby, I wish I had some more cash! then I would go for the Escort Cosworth.
But the sierra I have now, will have to do for a while longer.
I like the car a lot, it's got full cossie styling and it's been lowered 40mm, it has 16"x7,5" Momo arrows on it.

Currently rebuilding a 2l sohc engine. And this unit will give the car a tad more punch than the 1,6l engine.

Rebored block with forged Mahle pistons 91,93mm placed above deck, balanced rods and crank. Dual 45 Dcoe weber carbs on a hi-flow intake. Kent rl 31 camshaft. Fully adjustable Steel Pulley, Ported head and 2,5" race manifold.

I don't know how much hp it will give, but I guess it's in the range of 150-200 hp.

Hope to install the engine this weekend. :sun:

Sounds like fun!.A friend has is just about to finish his high compression 2.8 block for his 4i which should be interesting..

A few details on my cars can be found here!

http://www.xrsouthern.co.uk/profiles/scooby.htm

I think the 2 litre pinto was about 125BHP as standard so you should easily get into the 150-200 bracket..

If it only was 125hp

The standard 2l pinto in carbed form was 105hp, the injection model had 115 i think, and the IS dohc engine 120hp. The later zetec engine has about 130hp. The engine rebuilder that machined the top, so i could fit the dual springs for the cam. He built a sohc engine with bigger valves and plowported head and about the same setup as i have, and it produced 223hp. that's awsome for an n/a sohc engine.
with a cosworth block and modified cosworth head in N/A form can deliver 350bhp. think what that would sound like? add some nitrous oxide there, and were up in 450bhp non turbo 2litre. but the costs must be awfull...

Getting me Pinto's and I4's mixed up!
Girlfriend has the 1.8 Zetec engine in her Escort and that's a blinding little engine.


450 N/A!
Reliabilty must be a bit of an issue!....
Would be a laugh though!

450 N/A would be fun to drive i rush hour, just think of the rpm and clutching, Oh no, must keep it above 5000rpm or it will go dead...lol
