September 15, 200818 yr comment_274948 Hey all I am new to the forums figured I would post my latest project :y: Not that anyone would probably care but I have had a 1979 2door mk2 escort for about 4 years spent way to much money on it and have had a 4agze with lots of JDM bits converted to turbo with a disco potato and a lt10s sitting my garage for about a year now waiting to go in..... Ive recently realized I can do a conversion on a KE70 for a lot cheaper and in the end I will have a lot more fun :y: pics up.... EDIT/UPDATE: Due to me not being organised i will not be sitting the engine on the weekend starting 27/09 (as i don't have an engine crane) - due to this i will be hunting a tailshaft/pedalbox and front panel over the weekend and i guess will clean her up a little and take some more pics :) Edited September 27, 200817 yr by kra55 Report

September 23, 200817 yr Author comment_276771 I HAVE PICS ;) First off are the engine pics :D:D Engine = bigport 4agze/t50 - standard rockers to mess with peoples minds ;) The pics of the KE are crappy as they are from the post i bought it from. Have basically taken out the engine/gearbox/tailshaft since then and put in a 4a crossmember. Also fixed a bit of rust in the engine bay dodgy styles :D Oh and lastly sorry to all those ford haters - this is the car my engine WAS going to go into :dance: pics are pretty old has since been lowerd and has new bumpers and a few other little things :yes: and the airbrushing in the escort ;) Report

September 25, 200817 yr Author comment_277184 I am bit of a car noob so sorry for my stupid responses in advance :dance: Thinking a tough street car and might look at drift another time just keen to get it all in as cheap as possible as I have had the engine for way to long :yes: - don’t really plan on making the car look good at all…. The turbo manifold is a custom one that came with the engine - I forget the description I was given as to how it was made but its obviously a lot better then the Chinese crap you get off eBay...... As far as the dizzie and turbo IF I can get my hands on a engine crane for the weekend I will be sitting the engine and gearbox - I am sort of expecting clearance issues with the turbo but I wont know till I sit it all - As far as the dizzie in concerned I have no clue at this point in time lol - Does the engine have a dizzie? I plan on doing most of the ground work like sitting the engine/gearbox/tailshaft(once I get one) and getting the hydraulic clutch sorted then taking it to one of my mechanics to have it all plumbed and the wiring done as once again I'm a fair car noob :D I don't intend on making the car look good tho I have a bit of a hook up as far as painting is concerned so I might get the exterior of the car spray rather then doing a full strip down/sand/repaint ;) I really wish I had more info on the engine as I know it has lots of JDM bits but I don’t have the list any more. Overall I am exspecting a pretty angry little engine tho ;) part list is at follows(may be things missing): 4agze converted to turbo - from memory had less then 100 000 km's on it but never know lol t50 gearbox Custom Turbo manifold gt28rs Disco potato - NEVER USED Adjustable cams - unsure of what brand - HKS cam belt ;) Microtech Lt10s with ignition booster Microtech Coilpacks currently 365cc 4agze injectors - changing these to 550cc rotary injectors Have the clutch slave and master :D Some crappy front mount with crappy pipping for an AE86 Probly missing other bits :D Parts Currently needed: AE71 tailshaft AE71 Manual pedal box - minus the clutch master/slave rx7 550cc injectors some front panel lol…… Edited September 25, 200817 yr by kra55 Report
September 25, 200817 yr Author comment_277212 BTW Thanks for the comments on the escort I kind of didn't exspect such a nice greeting to it lol :dance: I must say tho it is a bit of a 50m car - Looks AWESOME from a distance then when you get close you see the little in perfections :yes: Report
