91 EGT - Super Sleeper

don't forget that insane exhaust manifold lol.

Sounds like you're ready to battle! Shame the trans is still the weak point tho lol, damn things...

Im workin on it

[Krono]

Picked up a GT40 throttle body for free today so I started fabbing it up. Stock throttle body is 55mm, this bitch is 66mm.



Hacked the flange off.



Then made a flange for the new TB.



Got the flange welded on and prepped the TB. Will take some pics of that tomorrow.

Got it welded up and put on. All I gotta say is

It made a huge difference. Throttle response is much better. Spool time seems better although I havn't ripped on it yet. My fuel map is hella lean everwhere now. Pics!




Hand Ported!!



Bungs for Water/Meth.












Fresh Paint.

Wo-wo-wo-woah. You put a nice big TB on there and then necked down to your intake tract? That ain't right, upsize that charge pipe man!
Threads like this always make me go "yeah I need to do more mods to my car" and then I'm all "yah right I'm prolly grenading the gearbox as it is so don't be stoopid"
But a bigger TB would be a good thing. I think right now that mine is the major intake resrtriction.

The throttle plate is 2.59" so its roughly the same size as the charge piping. Even if the TB was bigger than the charge piping, the 2.5" piping would still outflow the manifold.

Yeah, maybe, but I picked up a noticable increase by making sure all teh intake plumbing in front of the turbo was the same diameter and increasing a foot-and-a-half section of it by the needed 4mm made an astounding difference. Since the plumbing in question in your case is on the pressurised side, it prolly doesn't matter as much, but I'd be pretty curious to see if gains could be had. Then again if you're doing 350 through a fwd setup, well, that might be sufficient...

Nice update. That thing is gonna put up some really nice numbers.

Thanx man.

Im gonna do the fuel rail and regulator this weekend. Ill try to finish off the water/Meth too.

I might get to the dyno sometime this year, lol.

that looks awesome! You have alot of great things on this car! Your car is definitly an example of an escort done right.

What's your ignition setup? All the stumbling problems i've seen were due to inadequate ignition systems, you might want to check that. (it gets worse with increased load)

That was fixed longgg ago. I'm running MS2 with a BIP373, stock distributer and an MSD coil.

The misfire I had under boost was spark blowout caused by ****ty NGK plug wires. I put the Magnecor race wires on it and everything was peachy.

[Krono]
