Turbo Escort?
who woulda thought that someone could get a little under 300ft lbs out of a 2 liter escort? I do.
its not perty.. didnt ever want it to be. but it gets 42MPG and runs 14 flat at 12psi.
prety good for a 2600lb car
here it goes:
- 2.0 SPI-CVH
- (split port induction)
- (Compound Valve-angle Hemispherical - dome top
pistons in true hemispherical combustion chamber)
- MegaSquirt stand alone fuel managment system
- 9.8:1 compression
- Garrett T3 (.42/.4
- 17psi
- 33 lb injectors
- Saab 900 FMIC
- Manual boost control
- DSM adjustable BOV
- 2.5 inch straight pipe
- Custom fabricated manifold, intake pipes, down pipe,
and exhaust.
- Sunpro guages: Tach, Oil psi, Boost, Water temp, Oil
temp, Fuel psi, Air/fuel ratio
- Front mounted pre-turbo oil cooler
- Adjustable turbo oil pressure
here you can see what the "SPI" is all about with the intake runners.
intake valve, vtec valve, and a penny...hmmm

Re: Turbo Escort?
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?
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!)
