kra55 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) 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, 2008 by kra55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kra55 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Oh and another thing Hammers are the best tool ever for stripping a 4k - if you can't unbolt it bash it off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kra55 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kra55 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) 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, 2008 by kra55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kra55 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
