VIVA LE ESCORT!

Well if I was a better driver and I had a better navigator... ;D

Seriously, probably the fastest one around here is the KitFox MkIII and the spare, which is a MkIV configuration. Fully prepared for rallying, though, and nowhere resembling street legal. Top speed is estimated at around 110MPH, and I haven't a clue what the quarter mile time would possibly be.

As far as a 3.8L RWD retrofit, no way it's going to happen. 2.3 N/A FWD maybe. 2.3 Turbo RWD most likely not. You'd have to rip every piece of floorboard out, probably move the body to a custom-built tube-chassis, which would make it completely meritless as a retrofit. :P

As far as import 'go-fast' parts.. heh. Go fast to the ATM to get more money for them, that's about the only 'fast' you get out of them that I've seen. :D :D :D

Mine thumps out a whopping 88 hp.

well my lynx doesn't have any 'go-fast' parts, i did have the head milled and i'm around 10:1 compression and i run 93 octance. i has a little more pep thatn before. but anyways i had my freind in his beretta clock me at my top speed which surprisingly i was in 5th gear getting close to 4800rpm, and the beretta's speedo was reading around 127mph which was way faster than i had dreamed that car would go, although it was down a nice size hill on a four lane highway. i didn't make it to the drag strip this year but this coming spring i'll be there to tell you my times. i'm hoping for high 16s low 17s, mind you this is a base model mercury lynx.

alright we all know that the escort is a slow car.....not entirely true. mine does one twenty no problem. and i did win twice at the illegal street races in san diego. all i've done so far is taken the air resinator out. and added a kick ass stereo. hehehehehe she will take that crown almost any day of the week.


EscortEvil


aka Thomas

im going to have to agree that escorts in general are slow cars but i have a friend that has a 89 escort pony that has a 1.9l escort gt motor swaped into it with turbo coupe injectors mass air meter and computer and turbo. His latest problem with getting the car tuned in right is that no one makes a clutch that will even come close to holding the power. He just had a custom made 3 puck race clutch and pressure plate made and its just now starting to hold. we are going to the track either next week or the week after i will post times at that time since if i was to say what i think it would run right now it would get flamed out the as$. If you have any questions about the car feel free to ask.

I have a 1.9 93 escort with a flowmaster muffler and an intake. Got it up to 110MPH stock. Right now I'm working on putting a turbo on it. :D

You can fit a 2.3 TC Turbo to a EXP mani to your 1.9
But, it will make way more boost than a stock 1.9 can hold.

now ,I'm not positive on this, but, if garrett is an example then it might be possible to swap the compresor wheel and outer housing from a turbocoupe/supercoupe IHI rhb5 to the shaft,cartridge and exaust turbine of a IHI rhb5 from the EXP

you would get the quicker spool time of the EXP turbo and the higher boost,.....bad ass ,baby
that is if it could be done,.....hmmmmmm


later
racetracer:smoker:

But a 2.3 Turbo coupe (SVO) IHI turbo will fit the EXP mani with out any modifacations.
Or are you thinking of some kind of moster hybrid

kewl ,,,,,did not know that. IHI turbos have had a bad reputation for short life in high perf. apps.
I always recomend garrett turbos

later racetracer:smoker:

I think it was just the non-water cooled one's that had a bad rap?

flowmaster muffler and an intake
Do you mean, "magnaflow muffler''?;)

Yes, I'm :o

Why??? Soon you will have a Turbo....

if you don't like the US escorts, then why not import an euro spec RS turbo? don't have to get a UK one, just get a LHD one from like germany or somewhere in europe. theres far more mods and you can get at least 250+bhp out of them. the current fastest modified RS turbo around tops 160+ mph!!
my escort has 165+bhp and tops 130mph. and before you ask if i have an RS turbo, no i don't, i have a cabriolet with a rotormaster turbo conversion. so... american spec on europe escort? rare, yes, replacing turbo? a right pain!! can anyone help, i need a repair kit or new turbo! oil seal gone. i looked on www.rotormaster.com/au but its under construction!!

It's unfortunately not that easy :(

It's illegal to import them unless you crash test a bunch of them, then develop bigger bumpers and reflectors and stuff for them. However, if the car is 15 years or older, it can be imported into Canada fully exempt from regulations, unfortunately that figure is 25 years or older for the US though.

or keep looking and you might run into one already here in the USofA like I did. :eek: there's another one i believe is for sale here in california, registered, legal and all.

but these aren't for the timid. you've gotta call prince charles every time you need a part.

i know, i know... not an American scort...

Thats fuk-n nice!!

Holy wow...was it imported via Sun International? I guess they've already imported like 25 of them or something, or so the "Cossies in America" page says.

There's also a company here in Canada that builds "new" Cosworths to order using all new genuine Cosworth components, with a drivetrain that you select. They're expensive though, and technically not a genuine Cosworth...

yeah mine is one of sun international's. the real deal brought over and federalized. the ones you mentioned from canada are by done by a guy named nigel at draken enterprises. he bought a bunch of motorsports shells and is fitting XR4Ti running gear into them. i dunno if they're legal in the US though, even with the merkur power.

Yep, that's exactly it.

Canada typically has lesser regulations, so quite a bit more stuff is legal here. Also, cars are completely exempt once they're 15 years or older compared to 25 years in the US. Which means...the earliest Escort Cosworths will be 100% legal to import and drive in Canada without requiring modification in February 2007 :)

Do you know what modifications (if any) were made to your car in order to get it federalized? I see there are no side reflectors or bumper mods or anything...just curious.

well, i can pretty much tell you what was "supposed" to happen to my car for it to pass DOT safety. EPA emissions is a whole nother ball o' wax, but it does currently pass even the tough california emissions.

to pass DOT:
-5mph bumpers (i guess they're that way from the factory, huhu)
-front side marker lights in orange
-rear side marker lights in red
-CHMSL high mount brake light
-non-convex side mirror on driver's side
-"object are closer blah blah" printed on convex passenger side mirror
-emergency brake light in IP that says "brake" and not just "!"
-seatbelt "ding ding" sound and light
-fog lights that turn off when high beams are on

that's all i can think of at the moment.

I see. Any idea how your car became legal to drive then (or is it? :uhoh: )

We have almost all the same stuff, but our e-brake light has the "( ! )"

i don't ask, and they certainly don't tell :D

all i know is that the car was sold legally, has a US issued VIN from the US distributor and has a legal title. It is currently under california registration and passes our tough smog test with flying colors. i'm sure any changes to my car were made after it was delivered to the original owner here in America ;)

alot more legal than my buddy bringing in LHD Evo 7's and swapping VINs with salvaged Lancer OZ's... oh, did i say that out loud?

I think the best (only within reason?) way to get my escort to go fast would be to drop it out of a plane

That would work. A little hard on the suspension though :smile:

turbo is a all too easy mod for any car...a lot of power can be made from the old way of doing it naturally asperated...and i know about the larger throttle body crossover...it can be done...mine is outa a 5.0 H.O...i work at a junkyard so most of my stuff is second hand and the stuff i do is by old world knowlage alone..like i had my block milled so i could fit chrysler 2.2 pistons into it high flow intake and exsaust...and before you ask...theres no juce goin to it...its all motor...i ran a 12.75 at 110 mph at the local strip on used mustang tires...225/65/15...on stock escort GT wheels...well there it all is...believe it or not:evillol: :nutkick:

I would like to see some pic's of this. What are the chances of Chrysler pistons fitting a Ford?.
What is your C/R?
What are you using for ignition and fuel management?

I have a Turbo 93 Pony (stock motor) it can probobly run mid 15's.
I also have a hybrid 96 lx with a 2.0 and a bunch of bolt on's, it can run low 16 high 15's.
12.75 with a N/A 1.9 is hard for me to belive.
What year and body style did you do this to?
Did you have larger valve's put in? Because the second gen 1.9 has the smallest valves ever put in a CVH, if that is what you have.

well i killed it....it died on the strip so now i want to know if i can take my block to 0.30 over safely...my big engine is dead....i got middle of the strip and it grenaded in the middle of the strip..so im ive got another engine block and heads and am gonna do another one up but i want to take the block out further and need to know if it can go 0.30 over:banghead: :gives: :boink:

I'm sorry to hear that, but can you still answer my questions?

i have a 93 escort gt with the dohc 1.8L i dont know what the top speed is my speedo only goes up to 120 and i pegged that. my car is pretty stock other than magnaflow exhaust an 17" wheels. since my car has the mazda motor and mazda makes a 1.8 turbo motor like the 323 bpt gtx, will that turbo bolt right up to my mani or do i have to modify anything besides like fuel pump and regulator type stuff? also where can i find such a car would a junk yard in the states have some or do i have to order from japan, or does someone make a turbo kit for my car?

www.escortracing.com goto the Message Board, thay have all the answers.

ok for your info yes i has my heads done...had them ported and polished and the pistons i had to do a lot of machiene work to get the pistons to fit...dont doubt that...my fuel management is a set of probe gt turbo injectors cpu is still stock with a chip and a high volume fuel pump....i have no pics b/c im too poor to afford a digital cam....theres the whole shebang:comprage1 :icon16:

Are you a visitor of Escortracing.com if so whats your handel?

I hate to be a dick, but 12.75 is still hard to belive, I could see mid-low 14's but 12's? or with the help of N2O or high boost, I just dont see it possible.

What is your compresstion ratio?
With my stock 9:1 with 6psi its = to about 12.6 C/R. I could pull off a high 15, and with motor work or a 2.0 swap I could see running a low 15 high 14.

my c/r is 10:1 and a 12.75 was on a strip that had a downhill slope before the trap so it was probbly exagerated but i can believe mid 13s would be possible anywhere else...there ya have it for the corrections......and no i dont have a s/n on the escort site...wish i did...well catch up later:icon16:

does anybody reply to this one anymore....i wanna hear about a few ford escorts kickin some ass:thefinger :loser: :twak: :nutkick: :chair: :cheers:

Soooo...How did you get a "Ford" Motor (zetec) to fit a Mazda (323)tranny??
:eek7: That must be one heck of a modified bell housing :confused: :useless: :bs:

I personnally have never seen a fast escort. But I do drive a piece crap 91 escort gt everyday. Its slow but has been an ok car.

I would still like to know how you got a Ford block and flywheel to bolt to a Mazda bellhousing, after all they dont share the same bolt pattern, starter or flywheel. So what did you do about the shorter escort body and longer 323 center axel? What about the gas tank? Did you build up the Zetec? No offense, but I think your bull shiting. How come I have'nt heard of your amazing 4wd Zetec powerd escort on any of the other Escort forums?

as for the bellhousing quesion i had to import a tranny from the u.k. from an awd escort with a 1.6 zetec(yeah they make em)as for the gas tank i removed it and put a 10 gal fuel cell in the hatch and i had my buddy in the machine shop custom the driveshaft to fit,as will as beef up the rear suspension and everything attatched to it

You first said you had mazda 323 drive train, now your saying UK Escort? The Mazda and Ford drive train have nothing simular, the 91-96 chassie is all mazda. I never heard of a 1.6 Zetec AWD, I have heard of a 1.6 CVH RS turbo Escort or a 1.8 Festiva Zetec, or a AWD escort other than the Cossie, but that motor is north to south. Or there's the new Focus RS 2.0 Zetec AWD, but I really dought you have that drive train.

Why dont you answer this question:
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=131597
How you first said you had it done, than a month later you asked if it was possible????
Why would you need to ask if you allready did it?

Surly you have many pic's of this amazing escort you have, lets see them, or let me guess, your camera is broken?

Mine isn't really an Escort, but it could be called the twin brother of a USDM Escort. Check out:

my 1995 lx station wagon puts out 152 mph top speed and 137 hp at the wheels (no turbo or n2o) If you wanna know more I got slips to prove it just replie to the thread and ill get back to you soon

my 1995 lx station wagon puts out 152 mph top speed and 137 hp at the wheels (no turbo or n2o) If you wanna know more I got slips to prove it just replie to the thread and ill get back to you soon
OK let's here it.

I'll take a guess. You have a 1995 escort lx with the best of the best fulids a K&n drop in air filter (with no restrictor plate) 2.5 inch exhaust pipe, no resinator or cat dc sports headers and a thermal reserch and development muffler. And some ngk copper plugs and its an automatic.

Because that's what you said in another post. If thats all you have, then you do not have 137whp. A stock second gen 1.9 auto puts down about 69 whp. K&N filter add's about 3-4hp, "DC sports" does'nt make a header for the CVH, a muffler add's about 3 hp, 2.5" exhaust pipe add's about 2 hp, removing the resinator add's 0 hp. Copper plugs add about 1hp. So unless you left some thing major out of your previous list, than I'm gonna say you have about 78 whp....not 137whp. It does'nt matter what dyno slips you show me, I ant gonna belive it.

first off try asking me how many fucking escorts I own. second the one im refering to is a standard 2 liter cosworth bored out to 2.2 liters with custom-made spoon pistons with full alcohol injection. oh yes and dc sports does not make a header kit for the scort but for 300 dollars they have a program where they will custom make headers for any for cyl. so next time, ask questions before you run your mouth asshole. Hey if you want ill race you for your title punk what you got

You Live in Massachusetts, not some place in the UK. You do not have a cosworth motor, there a north to south mount motor not east to west. Last time I checked they were AWD and Turbo, you allready said your not useing a Turbo. And there's no way you have that motor in your FWD 95 lx wagon. Spoon pistons...thats funny.

How about you post some pic's of your spoon cosworth powerd N/A 2.2 95 lx wagon? Oh let me guess after spending 10k on having the motor shipped over you dont have money left over for a digital camera?

Post some time slips while your at at.

sure thing bitch, I thought you said the slips would not prove shit. see if you had some thing halfway decent to say Id say no problem. but your just a bitch oh and guess what. Im in the army and one of the perks of the army is you can import stuff (i.e. cars) for free, oh yes cuz i was stationed in munich

Any body can take any body dyno slip and say it's there's or photo shop it to look like there's, that is why I would'nt belive every dyno sheet I see.
So far you have made no attemp to prove any of these stories your telling. Half the stuff your saying does'nt even make sence. Why would you go though all the work to install a Cossie motor in a 95 Escort wagon and than remove the turbo?

You have posted no pic's of your creation.
You have not proved that DC Sports will make a header for any car for $300.
You have not proved that Spoon makes pistons for a cossie.
You have not proved that a cossie motor will mount in a FWD second gen Escort lx, that is by the way made by mazda and has nothing in common to a UK spec Escorts.

Where is the proof for all your claims?

I guess we could play the name calling game, you can call me a bitch than I can call you a bitch back, but that does'nt get us any where does it?

Oh and one more thing, alcohol injection on a N/A motor is all most point less, since the air is not compressed and heated by the turbo you dont have.

And having installed a cosworth motor and only putting down 137whp is nothing to brag about, since they can do twice that stock.

Ok, so you are saing that you have a 95lx with a spoon engine and DC sport headers?? Since when dose DC sport make headers for the escort? This whole "car" just dosent add up...

Hmm... Spoon would be highly unlikely to make pistons for a Euro Ford engine, futhermore DC wouldent make a header for a 2.0L Dohc Turbo engine... seeing as it dosent need a header... ALSO the stock Cosworth out of a escort puts 221hp to the flywheel... and its awd.. i'd like to see you import axels, drivetrain, tranny, ecu, and an engine from the UK for under $15K, I have a Sierra imported from Germany, with a 2.3L Turbo Ford Lima engine, dont be a dumbass, stop making a fool of yourself by lying

well put... i would still like to see him try and post pics of the "set up"

U read to many magazines.

I just happen to know someone who has experience putting the YB into a BG and maybe you should stop talking since you think this is unheard of and you can BS your way into respect.

I dont know you figgure ANYTHING that you pulled out of your ass would work. Even with a custom offset and fabricated bellhousing, you would still not make it past 1st gear in any of the arguable transmission combonations mentioned.

Cmon, just admit it, you never have gotten any respect for honest work, so you want to take advantage of the internet and say something untruthful to get some car-kiddies to look up to you. You could have used the small amount of knowledge that you do present to help you, instead you have made a total idiot of yourself. Why? I dont know, but there is no possible way to BS out of this. :rofl:
