Turbo Escort Wagon-junkyard dog
Been stealing info from this site for a while so I figured I'd post up my daily beater project that I built with parts from 6 different cars :) :

Ended up swapping a 2.0L engine out of a '97 I got for $275 and a 5spd trans and associated parts. Turbo and manifold are 2g Eclipse, flipped with redrilled top manifold holes and a home-fabbed bracket for the lower holes ala jeffescortlx. Currently running 6psi w/no intercooler, AFR looks good (~11:1 according to the wideband), needing an IC and timing control to run more. Fun car for what it is, have <$2k in it and it still gets 35mpg if I keep my foot out of it. Specs: Engine/turbo setup: -2.0L SPI from a '97 -SPI Controller running off of the tach -1.9 MAF, 2.0 19lb injectors -2g Eclipse Turbo manifold (upside down) and T25 Turbo -Toyota Supra intake piping/blow-off valve -2.5" custom downpipe (fabbed by me) -Hacked $40 3" Civic exhaust -Vortech 10:1 FMU for fuel management -1 step colder Autolites -LC-1 wideband for tuning Suspension/Drivetrain: -5 spd trans swap out of a '94 Escort -Spec stage II clutch -solid front trans mount -MX-3 H&R springs and Tokico S/R struts -14" Miata Daisy wheels -B&M short shifter Future plans: -MKIII Supra Intercooler (since mine's never gonna run again...) -MSD Timing Twister More pics on my cardomain site: www.cardomain.com/id/doksurf33 |

Awesome looks good.

Re: Turbo Escort Wagon-junkyard dog
Good ----, I like both vehicles. Escort is some solid work, you should atleast throw a small smic on there though.
You should sell me parts from that 89 supra, namely the head and manifolds/turbo :) |
Re: Turbo Escort Wagon-junkyard dog
Thanks. If I ever get the new engine in I'll have a head for ya :) No extra manifold/turbo, unless I find a good deal on a SP63GT >:D

Re: Turbo Escort Wagon-junkyard dog
It's a blast, it was especially fun when I hadn't finished my exhaust and was running an open DP, got alot of WTF looks :D
Definitely need the IC and timing control, I got roasted by a Nissan Titan yesterday.... |
