very nice mate, wish i had the money and driveway to do mine on

[Nutti Adam]

Proper inspiration there

[rsonblackwheels]

elo i have an up-date at last been real busy moving house so its been slow progress



ohh lots of bits

so after the Omex went on last summer i'v been collecting bits for the classic T3 Conversion to make some more power as i had maxed out the T2 hybrid

out with the old the turbo technics T25 had served me well for about 2years and never missed a beat even ended up making 18psi when the omex went on





ready to fit





the airtec frontmount intercooler and turbo cooler ment for an S2 Escort RST both finished in matt black and even came with all the silicone hose i needed



hybrid 'stage 3' T3 turbo from CR Turbos including .48 housing, -31, 360 bearing cut back blades the usal stuff, also got some braided water pipes made for it




in it gose after having the usal rad to actuator clearence mods




the 1st fit up of the airtec frontmount, didn't have to chop the front bumper but i want to see more of the 'cooler in the end

tryed the turbo cooler in a few places 1st but after a chat with rs1800dom i decided on behinde the o/s headlight



also had a S2 Escort RST down pipe modified to fit and heat rapped by Kester at Tourque of the Devil when it was there for the remapped



and this is how it looks at the min, sorry its a bad pic but its all been abit rushed, i'll get some better ones tomorrow

the 1st hybrid T3 let go in a cloud of smoke just after the remap but CR Turbos sorted it under warrenty, so its been in bits more times than it needed to be and now it makes 215bhp and 220 ft/lbs but the clutch started to slip when on the rollers (techne clutch strike again lol) so there is still lots to come after fitting a paddle clutch

it was brifley on the road befor the 1st T3 blew its oil seals and its a riot to drive, of boost its nice with some chatter n small chiiing from the baily dump valve but when you get some boost at about 3k its awesome when it gets traction it flys gr8 fun

soo, abit more testing tomorrow then castle combe if everything gose well, that should sort that clutch out

some better pics to follow

bring on the trumpets!, bring on the wheel spin!, bring on the recovery truck?

[jonboisescort]

like it

turbo cooler looks nice

[jayrs]

im thinking of fitting a turbo cooler on my rs too, how much was yours if you dont mind me asking mate?

[rsonblackwheels]

erm i think they are about £70,but i got a deal because i bought the intercooler at the same time and also didn't need the rad fan as its already running a kenlow

when i spoke to Airtec they also said that they are devolping a turbo cooler for the Fiesta RS Turbo and in there latest adverts in the usal ford mags its says its 'coming soon'

that might be worth a look

[Turboboy67]

Good work fella,

lets hope the clutch holds out @ Combe for you

[Ram]

great work fella, 215 is great power

hope to have a closer look at this sometime

[HCS PIMP]

gr8 work love your conversion makes me power hungry lol

[hb69]

Nice power

Id get a cut down number plate and put it in one of the lights recesses on the bumper, out of the way there

[jayrs]

yeah ill have a ganda mate

[rs1800dom]

glad to see she is up and running again. looks SOOOOOOOO agresive in the rear view! well for the short time thats it behind me lol. am hankering for a turbo but must stay loyal to the dark side. (n/a, some one has too. lol) am looking forward to the summer time this year, just give me a chance to catch up.

BRING ON THE TRUMPETS!!!

[rsonblackwheels]

yep,really needs a smaller plate, hopefully get one at central day this weekend and then proberly mount it on a plate tilter (a JDM fav) below the intercooler to scoop up some more cool air from down low for the 'cooler

will also get some standard plates at the same time as i'v been stopped by the police twice already in it and its only been on the road for about 2weeks!! And they only want to know what i'm doing, where i'm going, routine stop ect. so i'll have to keep a standard/legal front one in the car so i can change it over if they ask, to avoid more £30 tickets

[sk8xtrm]

Look stunning mate, 100% top work!!!

lovely spec list as well. sounds like a monster to!

[rsonblackwheels]

so better pics as promised

[sk8xtrm]

[HCS PIMP]
