Stunning work and parts on this i love a escort cosworth
Cracking read.....where did you get the flush centre caps for the th's....been looki g for set but always strugglr with the centre fit....63.5mm i think.
Cheers
Dave Lee does them if you need some
EFR all fitted now and radtec radiator with spal fans.
Unfortunately when the old turbo was removed it appears my head gasket had been leaking coolent down the side of the block for some time, ties up as did have to top the coolent up every month or so.
Head had a light skim and fitted a metal WRC head gasket.
Few jobs to do now before it can go to James at autodynamix for new ecu and mapping.

I was going to buy an escort cosworth but the prices now made me think get a Porsche and I got one from Southampton
Yes deffo much better cars out there for the money these day.
I have been tempted to sell and get a 997 turbo but just couldn’t do it
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I can't fault the 996 turbo except the seats, the bolsters should of been bigger and since they're electric they weigh too much for my liking. The 997 was just a facelift so I'd hold out for a 991 turbo but again more expensive and out my reach
If I had one it would be a manual 997 for the facelift front end and more modern interior personally.

Small turbo inlet
Plenum fitted as less restrictive flow wise, also tidied up the bay as vac fittings are either end.
Had a mate turn down a boss and laser weld it into the manifold for temp sensor as this inlet does not usually have a
Tapping.

Unfortunately still waiting for ECU to be installed.
Couldn?t get the standard heat-shield to fit over the turbo so had to buy a blanket to protect the bonnet

I can imagine selling it is very tempting based on current prices! Same but nowhere near the same numbers, I?m watching e46 M3 prices rise but had mine 10yrs this year. Hard to part with.Quote:

Nova project has seem some good progress since COVID for sure, but we are now moving house and garage/workshop space is limited, so could stall things. Life is good tho [emoji4]
E46?s coming up nicely, still really like that shape!
Had V8 M3 but sold that to help fund house stuff unfortunately.
