    carkrazed2005 - Escort build thred

    Finally got a chance to start my new build on my pimp shat escort. I'll be updating this often since I don't see it being done until spring. Heres what the plans are. I know the pics suck, all I had with me was my phone.

    Turbo Setup

    CDM 60-1 professionally balanced and rebuilt with good shat.(A Buddy who works at a turbo shop hooked me up)
    Stainless top mount
    3" downpipe
    Already has 3" exhaust
    Massive CDM intercooler.(Probably overkill but I only paid 50 bucks for it so whatever)
    Free CDM 44mm wastegate.(HKS style)
    2.5" charge piping
    AN Feed and Return
    Water meth injection

    Engine and management

    BP05
    GTX Intake Manifold
    GTX Cams
    B6T Rods
    Wiseco 9.1 pistons
    550cc RX7 injectors
    Megasquirt 2
    AEM Wideband

    The car



    What I got done so far

    Bling Blinged the compressor housing



    3" V-band Conversion




    Put some bigger studs in the collector


    Stainless Migged Top mount




    I know, I have some gaps, I'm gonna fix them when I take it out to finish welding it.

      Its a kit I put together last summer with a shurflo pump. Works awesome for only having 150 invested in it.

                  i'd like to see somewhere in the 300whp range and the ultimate goal is to have a low 12, high 11 sec sleeper.

                  I wish. Its CDM but as I stated, the turbo was professionally balanced and rebuilt with garret internals by a local shop. It should be alright. The wastegate was given to me by a friend, its brand new so i'm gonna try it. If it gives me any trouble its gone and i'll get a tial or something.

                  Thanks. I hope so too! I dealt with boost cut all last summer so it'll be nice to have the car back to itself.

                  I'll let you get to the 11 sec mark first if you let me get a peek at your current fueling and timing maps, lol.

                  I finished welding the manifold up today. It turned out ok. I really wish i had a tig to use, cause this manifold would have looked top notch. I'm gonna fab the down pipe, charge pipes and mount the intercooler tomorrow. I'll post up some more pics of the progress after christmas cause I have the feeling that my piece is gettin me a new camera for christmas. Thanks for the good feedback.

                    I can't tell from the pictures, but where does the wastegate come off of the manifold?

                    Edit: or are you adding that when you take the manifold back off for finishing?

                      There will be a 90 on the front of the collector, the wastegate will mount there.

                            I hate HMT.

                            Nice build none the less
                            I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                              Heres a little update. Manifold is welded. Downpipe is fabbed. Wastegate and intercooler are mounted. I'm gonna make a heat sheat for the turbine tomorrow, then i'll pull it back apart and finish welding.
