LX and GT

Whats the diff between an LX and a GT and all other models...trim,engines,etc.

lx has a 1.9l engine The gt has a 1.4l engine with dohc has a fancier body kit. the one I looked at had rear whell disc as well while the lx all have rear wheel drum. Gt is a much spotier faster version

1.4? lol escort never had smaller then 1.6l and the GT has a 1.8 dohc vs the lx's 1.9 sohc

i kno the GT looks much mor sportier but is it really that much faster?How much HP does the GT produce

same question but for the LX.... ^^ how much HP does it produce?

Depends on the year. There are 3 generations of escorts, they dont all have the same motor.

the '91 LX produces 88hp stock

i believe the gt ia like 127,

yep those answers are correct, lx is a ford motor 1.9 SOHC that has 88hp. and the gt is a mazda motor 1.8 DOHC with 127. ive had both engines and if you have a choice, get the GT

man, I should have found this earlier tonight. looks like I'll be putting a turbo on the Escort too. :lol2: (yes, the TA will soon have an STS turbo kit)

:screwy: <~~~~~~~~~ Me :grinyes:

Im also planning on instaling a turbo on my car, im just wating for the funds.

So where do you get a turbo for a 1.9L or should I not even bother and just swap engines?

I already have a booster fuel pump and an FMU(Fuel Management Unit...increases fuel pressure under boost to make the injectors spay more fuel in to keep the air/fuel ratio happy under boost conditions).

I have friends that can weld and make me a manifold and I was just going to get a turbo off of a WRX or STi *al la people sellig their stock turbos on Ebay* and slap on there. That and the oil lines/fittings..might cost me 1000.00 since I can do all the work other then making the manifold.

Gen 1 LX is rated for 90, and GT for 110.
