lol i know all about it, i was running open dp for a while and all the locals thought i was a ricer, but when i blow the tires away from a 40mph roll that pretty much ended that way of thinking

Re: Turbo Escort Wagon-junkyard dog
 

The Escort GTs have the Mazda motor, I'm running the 2.0L Ford SOHC. Motors are pretty stout, I've seen a few running reliably at 200+hp, which is pretty good considering they're about 90hp stock ;) Main thing is the cheap factor, I think jeffescortlx has around $300 into his turbo setup and he put down 140whp/188wtq...

There not bad. Cast iron closed deck. The rod's and pistons are about the strongest part of the entire car. Usally when they brake down it's from a blowen diff, fried clutch or somthing ghey like a dropped valve seat. These SOHC motor's are factory turbo charged in europe.

Ahh so like a Cosworth thing? Hypereutenic pistons?

fmu+wideband= ??

Re: Turbo Escort Wagon-junkyard dog
 

Ha yea, bought the wideband for my Supra and figured I'd put it to use. FMU works really well with the Ford EEC, after a couple of days of learning it works pretty seamlessly. Plus it was $80 and I'm too cheap to spend more on my beater car ;)

Re: Turbo Escort Wagon-junkyard dog
