My car, HMT Worthy?
 
http://www.cardomain.com/id/jeffescortlx

Yeah it's not a Honda and yeah it not that fast, I'm still working on that. I only have a couple hundred buck's into it. It's currently running only 10psi with the low compresstion block while I'm working out some fuel gremlins.

What do you guy's think?

no worries about it not being a honda, cause this isnt a honda site, its a turbo site....so it works out.

yawn ......... just another turboed escort to look at. LOL how you going to come over here and not think i will find this post jeff?!?!?! good to see you posting here. i seem to put out this link alot but everyone just says of its a honda board. which it largely is but turbo's are universal as we all know.

i see two escorts on this board both turbo'd not a bad power to weight ratio. ones more homemade then the JDM one i own.

Wow neuman, your as bad as a forum troll as me. :P

It's great to see positve reaction for a Escort from the Honda owners.

Re:My car, HMT Worthy?
 
Damn thats a man who knows his escorts! I just flipped through the link, but did he ever get his IB setup going with being boosted? Cool setup nevertheless.

Re:My car, HMT Worthy?
 
We need to expand to more clean, non rice, non honda set up's like this. Its nice to see its sleeper. Everyone keeps talking ---- about a 5.0 twin turbo mustang. I think its time, the new autotrader comes out today. ;D

Re:My car, HMT Worthy?
 
jeff i've been on here for a couple years. i remeber when this board wasn't even a board just a upgraded version of cardomain page for a group of freinds and the junkyard boosted cars. i remember seeing jeff (ABAZ) the first time at the street races and he had standalone before i knew what stand alone was and before fast and furious made it a household saying.

we turbed my friend mazda protege which is basically an escort frame. IT was a JDM BPT motor. I'll try to get pics next time I'm home

neuspeedescort 11-05-2004 08:41 PM

Re:My car, HMT Worthy?
 
technically its the other way around. the 91-current escorts are the BG chassis designed by mazda. but yes its the same. the motor your buddy has is the same one i have. JDM!

Yeah whatever way it is :P He always wanted to race my 12 second GSR with it but I sold it before we could. Did you ever run your car?

neuspeedescort 11-05-2004 08:48 PM

Re:My car, HMT Worthy?
 
not yet. but a friend of mine had his set at 15psi on 22inch slicks and ran a 13.4. but on street tires the best he got was a 13.9. still not bad times. i want to track mine when the tracks open up in the spring. i have nicer IC and IC pipes then he did so i may flow better but i need slicks if im going to try to go fast.

Re:My car, HMT Worthy?
 
I think I posted this before, but this guy runs 12s on street tires. Nitto 555s I think.

Re:My car, HMT Worthy?
 
i've seen that car before i wish there was more info on it. peopel talked about it on our escort forums adn no one really knows its story or how true the numbers are. im no bad mouthing it at all trust me. a buddy of jeff's and mine hit 12.6 on a t3 with a S-afc on the style motor i have in my car. it was running hella rich too. but when he is peeling third gear like my car was first (at that time i was still n/a) you know its fast. his trap speds where in the 110's. just needed bigger slicks.

Re: My car, HMT Worthy?
 
Looks very cool. I like Hondas, but to see it ------ more and more is sweet. Can you please explain the 14.5 at like 95mph and then 15.1 at 100mph? How does that work? LOL. 13s in the future is what it looks like to me. All done on streets? Very sleeperish. Definitly suprise some people. ;) ;D
