here you can see what the "SPI" is all about with the intake runners.

300ft/lbs and it only went 14 flat?...what mph?...more pics please, im interested

Re: Turbo Escort?
 

300lbs but how much hp

Re: Turbo Escort?
 

blah i re-read it now...300 was at 17psi, 14 flat was at 12

Re: Turbo Escort?
 

about 240hp.. it pulls from 1200-5k and i shift at 5200. its rev limited at 5700. with the loose ass gears it hits 40 in first.

Re: Turbo Escort?
 

btw, its the only escort i know of that can tow a 3/4ton chevy with a cord of wood on the highway at 75mph.

Get a bigger turbo. and what's the deal with the vtec valve comparo? everyone knows 1 valve from a 16 valve head will be smaller then a valve from an 8 valve head that's on a bigger displacement engine. you have to compare 2 vtec valves with that one on your escort's head ;). Oh and up the rev limiter...5k?? is it a diesel??(just joking)
Really up the revs and get a bigger turbo

Re: Turbo Escort?
 

maybe thats why the clutch looks like that.....

Re: Turbo Escort?
 

hey, I always wondered when someone would do that since those cars are perfect for Squirtin' since they've already got all the right ignition hardware.

Is that the Ford block or the Mazda block that you are boosting, I don't know enough about them to know any different.


I wouldn't mind doing the same thing to a wagon :) (except I'll pay $20 for a mandrel bend for my downpipe..I thought I was cheap!)

Not too bad. Because I know of a 93 Escort with a 1.9LSOHC that can only run low 17's with a 65shot of nitrous. Those car are slow!!!!

If your hitting 14's Nice Job.
