You live in Rayleigh by any chance mate? if so I LOVE your car!! Make an effort to drive past it whenever I'm in Rayleigh, in SWF myself so not particularly far.. if you ever fancy taking a complete stranger out for a drive I'm that stranger =P
@cheese3656 the chavtastic days of flamer kits lol. Didnt need it a while after this video, as i fitted jenvey throttle bodies and megasquirt stand alone management, that pops flames on its own lol
@nockr21 1.6 IB5 Gearbox, no need to uprated them really, if you do go turbo you could do with going to the MTX75 box off the RS2000's. Front brakes, i used a 300mm set up, focus st170 disks, mark 3 mondeo calipers (same as st170 calipers) and goodridge braided hoses. On the rear i used an RS2000 rear disk beam, 2wd rs2000 handbrake cable and Goodridge braided hoses. Although i did later uprate the fronts to 330mm Focus RS 4 Pot Brembo's just before braking the car :( hope that helps
@tez162003 hey, i wonder why you would prefer the mtx175 instead of of an standard, both are not suited for turbo...only difference is the syncro added to the reverse gear, beside you also need to change the drive shafts due to the difference in length...take an ib5 housing and add the diff from an rs turbo but still it wouldn't live long......buy quaife if you don't want any problems with the gearbox....if you wanna play hard, you gotta pay hard....
my zetec in mercury mystique overheats when idling and cools off after driving a bit. along with this the heater wont blow hot air until I start driving as well. All this even after I replaced the water pump and timing belt a year ago for the same issue.
yep its a rst charge pipe, i have just done a jenvey throttle body conversion so i no longer need any of the intake stuff from this vid, so i will have the hoses, chrome pipe, 2.0 throttle body, 2.0 MAF air filter etc for sale, theres a for sale thread for them on escort evolution ;)
Zetec from a focus will involve custom rear engine mount, if you want a 2.0 zetec thats easy to do, get a silvertop.
if you have a zetec in the car already its an easy swap as all the loom is the same, all you change is the, sump, pick up, ecu, tb, maf, block, head, fuel rail, and couple of 2.0 sensors, can be done in a weekend.
This engine has just been ripped apart and being built again to be even cleaner! :)
thanks, i like it, id love to re spray it again in a different shade of orange and do a few tweaks, but well see, currently jobless due to redundancy so wont be happening soon, thats for sure

Hello danny. I'm also in SWF - i do beleive the car your talking about is the escort cosworth [the only orange one i know of in Rayleigh.]
I could be wrong though.
My RST is on here, search for "rsspecial1"
It's not an orange escort but still -

What gearbox did you use for this engine as i bought my escort with the engine conversion already done and apparently its got a 1.8 gti gearbox in.
ashleyuk2007 1 year ago
@ashleyuk2007 1.8 gearbox is fine, only need the MTX75 box if you turbo it or go into 200bhp area

that why you modify the airbox so you get the benefit of both sound and performance!
