turbochargers, and modifications

I am looking for 85 Escort Parts, namely a turbocharger, suspension accessories, and any other bits & pieces that you think may be useful in my quest to turn a 4-door escort into a beautiful street machine

For info on turbocharging...check here: http://www.escortracing.com/mods/turbo/turbo.html
or here: http://www.escortracing.com/egtproject/egt.html

For other parts you can try the BAT catalog. BAT makes and sells many parts for Escorts. Download it (Adobe Acrobat format) here: http://www.batinc.net/files/esc1a.pdf

Thank you for the info. i just bought the car for $350 with a new trans., rebuilt engine, and only 60,000 miles, from my manager

Sweet, those are REALLY low miles for an '85. Escort's are really underestimated in the car scene, they have just as much potential as any Civic for a heck of a lot cheaper.

I hope you do your home work before you bolt a turbo on.
The hardest part to find would be the manifold, you can use any square flange IHI from other car's like Mazda's including the probe and a bounch others. But the fuel and ignition managment is the most important part.

Here's my Turbo'd 93 Escort:
