UK Pinto Turbo. Old Skool
Ok. This ain't what you have as a Pinto.
This Pinto is the 2.0l SOHC Ford engine that is in my mk2 Ford Escort RS2000. I don't think many if any made it to the USA, but i could be wrong.
After wanting more power I decided to go turbo and after a lot of reading on the web I built up my turbo kit.
A lot of info was found from this site, manys thanks to all that put information up here
I started with a simple manifold to get it all running.
This has allowed me to fit a Garrett T3 on the the 1993cc 8v SOHC motor. I've also been building different layout headers i may try some time.
The engine is still on running standard compression ratio of 9.2:1 . This will be changed soon with a fresh engine fitted with 8.1:1 forged pistons and stronger rods. I've also added a small intercooler up front.
Things are a bit rough at the moment and need to be tidied up. Also I'm fitting a Megasquirt n Spark ECU to control it all. Heres some pics for ya.

All the EFi, piping, turbo, intercooler and ECU are stock Ford UK parts, but not from this car. I tried to keep as many stock parts from the Ford parts bin as i could, so i can replace them if they break.
The only standard part is the engine
