arent the 2.3 scorts the same motor as the turbo stangs/turbo merkeur's/turbo t-birds? it seems to me that they are. and also, didnt fold make a stock "high output head" for the escort?

2.3 escorts? the largest motor an escort got was a 2.0 and that was after my generation. i dun deal with the ford motors, my car is really based on a mazda platform, its a mazda bg chasis car, mazda brakes, suspension, motor.. only the shell/interior is ford. i dun even really like ford lol. the reason i got the escort was because its a 2dr hatch protege that isn't as ugly as the 323 and exspensive as the mx3.

i'd paint the bottom of the intercooler flat black so it won't be so noticable. the car isn't lowered so the height shouldn't be a problem

lol you remind me of my friend with the BPT swap. When he did that swap he said his car would kill my 12 second Integra when his car was only running 10psi.


Remember there are people with 300hp stock d-series too, doesn't mean its good or going to last

this is true but it doesn't mean that you can't have 350whp reliably. I'm not saying i can beat a 12 second anything, not evena 13 second anything lol.

I know you didn't say it'll run 12's, its just the way you talk you sound like my friend, very optimistic on power potential of the BPT ;)

There's some kid around here with one of turbo 1.9L escorts. I've raced him from a roll and beat him, but never from a dead stop. His car is quick. He claims he has a custom manifold and a stock block. This car must have "hi-jackers" in the rear because the car drives around with it's ass way up in the air.

Here's a vid of it running.
These are the local street races that I go to...i've run numerous times down that strip you see in the vid. The escort's run is half way through the vid, if you see "Mugre's yellow hatch" you've gone too far, its right before that:
