Ford Escort Rs Turbo
Discussion
Long time lurker here. Thought I'd share some pics of my car.
Bought last year as a non-runner. After a new engine and a nice list of mods it's ready for its first track day on Sunday!!
Mods so far are:
Sapphire 4x4 cosworth turbo (bigger compressor and exhaust housings)
Aluminium rad and front mount intercooler
Paddle clutch
Rebuilt gearbox with a nice fresh LSD
Koni suspension and poly bushes all round
Escort cosworth brakes
By far the best mod was changing the engine management to full sequential injection from a cosworth.
This allows the car to be live mapped and can run a closed looped system if I want to. At the moment I'm running 21 psi of boost.
I know these cars got a bit of bad press but I love the way it drives. No power until 3500rpm the whoosh!!
Here's some pics
Sorry about the iPhone pics.
