give it up then ghost :lol:

max, i know people dont have filters on the bottles, but the proper oil catch tanks do, and IMO it should do to stop the bottle blowing off.

the set up with the breather on the FRST allows air to be drawn in (not much) on idle but it turns to pressure when under load, i guess a lot of it would be due to the sucking of the intake but being not connected to the air box it would still produce some pressure.


ill bung a pic up of the breather set up in a bit, i gotta nip out right now.

I was gutted i missed the KK meet, I was there last year :(

Update time once again.

I have begun to source the rest of the parts required to do this conversion. Luckily i have got a few bits uber cheap :bonkers:

Image
Escort Rs Standard intercooler - Jay sorted me out with this back at ford fair :)

Image
Escort turbo oil feed pipe - got given this as a freebie :wink:

Image
Escort Rs turbo samco bottom boost hose. I know it wont fit perfect like it meant to in a escort as the rad/cooler being slightly different places but it will be close enough. J7aoc quickly sold me this :D

Image
And finally ....... a complete T3 converted stainless steel exhaust. Its not perfect but saves me destroying my magnex system and will do its job. Bought off nomad for £55 - Bargain :o

Last 3 pieces im in need of are:
Oil return stub for block
Oil return rubber pipe (connects turbo to the block)
Escort Rs exhaust manifold gasket

Comments as usual
Knuckles :P

probably because of me :oops:

when i broke my rst, i sold my original ford one on ebay for £28, so i went to ford and asked if they had anymore, they said yes, 11, so i got all 11 :lol: :lol: :oooh: then stuck em all on ebay.

if your still after one, pm insane, i lent him an original ford one, and he had some made up from that :wink:
