***Vote Dazza for Car of the year 2004!***

I am the only one in the contest thats done an engine conversion(1.6 - 2.0) and iv had the car about 6months

Vote Dazza b'cos it makes sense

Very nice, but sorry, I couldn't bear to let my vote go to a ford

What future plans have you got?

Unichip and powerboost take it to 160bhp roughly but i need sideskirts 1st!

them black rims r well sweet mate. what ones are they n wer did u get em? i want some phat black rims for my motor! p.s., did u declare your engine conversion on the insurance?

I got the rims from my place (Halfords Bromborough) There Wolfrace Matrix that are limited Edition in Black 17"
If you come the meet we'll have a chin wag mate

yeh sound mate quality. jus wna get some nice blackos on me foci around xmas!

Lovely car dazza mate, you were inmy top 3 mate. That's bad 2 fords in me top 3!

Cheers Mr Broom - Team Ford all the way! We've got some bad a$$ idea's for Meesh's Fiesta but we'll keep you posted

Just out of sheer interested who Voted for me?

hey dazza. explain y u r still runnin with rubstrips on ur doors, and why ave u got any sideskirts.its nice and everythin but just is missin major bits.looks kinda daft.once its got those 2 issues sorted it'd be boss though m8.

I dont wanna remove the rubstrips mate - if anything ill get em colourcoded and as for the skirts mate iv been searchin for some.
I think it comes down to cash @ the moment cos i need the bumpers sprayin too.
Take it you gotta Escort too?

just needs slamming now pal

He definately does need his suspension sorting.The forces but on the car by the power of the engine and strenth of the brakes make it tilt forwards and backwards so much it great to watch.(But cars shouldnt do that)You dont need your cars nose lifting under acceleration through a corner as it lessens the tires grip on the road. You want all 4 wheels planted
Oh yeah

Needs side skirts I like it though. Shame he rags her everywhere

thats the way a woman, sorry car should be treated.

No it isnt daz, driving hard is how it shud be done. The stuff dazza does just eats tires. I hope you dont give him ur calibra for a go. Yes it looks cool but it kills tires clutches and engines

Thats abit harsh, everyone knows iv had problems recently due to unreliable 'mechanics' but a trip to AUTOSAFE has sorted the Escort out and its now my baby again - am currently sourcing parts for it so i re-opened this Escort Topic.

Watch this space

Pics of the new mods - 2.0 MAF and 2.0 Airbox

I say, that bodywork look s bit clean there dazza.Treat her right mate. Be a team player and look after gods cars

What? <img border="0" alt="[Roll around the floor laffin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions065.gif" /> Gods cars? I think you have been watching a little too much TV.

He might rag her around abit but lately, Ill tell you something, he has been looking after her. Hes even had ME helping him clean her out!

hehe he wont be doing that with mine though

The S'cort is getting VIP treatment, shes been naughty due to the winter and shes getting treated now. Also just purchased this to continue on from the whole BHP chase iv got goin before my RollingRoad day - Another 'toy' will be on its way but i'll wait till iv defo got it before i mention it
Those that dont know this is a Mondeo 2.0 K&N panelfilter, Panelfilters dont suck hot air in like cone's and it gets HOT under my bonnet!

Rather suprised it arrived today the K&N, iv just fit it and took it for a testdrive.
It is raspier and smoother and am quite impressed - iv just came in to have Sayers pasty and then am off out to drill the airbox.

ill let ya's know what I think at a later date

Driiling the airbox hhmm. I think that is just gonna let hot air in matey. Get a ram pipe to shoot the cold air at the panel thru a hole cut for it.Y dont u get a ram air indi kit like a viper or BMC

Pointless. Iv been recommended by FEOC that just a coldair feed (like i have) will do with a few holes drilled faceing away from the Manifold i.e away from heat.

alreet matey.Hopefully it gets u the figures u want. Fancy a lightweight flywheel?

How much and was it just skimmed or what? Need a spec on it before I commit as iv already got ideas of my own

nice car

Just bought this


The wiring is there for these and you litteraly just plug/unplug them. Bought them b'cos my car doesnt have a Tachometer. I bought a triplepod for gauges on my A-piller and I did a rushed job of fitting them so there going ASAP.

Think is tho I want to keep my Voltmeter (for install) but want to mount it somewhere but unsure of where it can go.
Possibly fit it in the dash where a passenger airbag should go on other models but means id have to buy another airbag panel

Any idea's?

Dude is that set of clocks plugged in yet cos as you know i fitted my ones a few weeks back and trust me,the cable is not there.U will have to refer to the wiring diagram for the model and engine size of ur 2.oL engine and feed the wire to the correct bit of ur blue plug on the back of the clocks(think its the 4th one up from the bottom,it is above the black cable with the orange band) the feed will either come from the ECU or the distributer electronics unit.The people who did ur engine conversion may have fitted this wire for u but it was not there as standard trust me

Tell us how u get on

They'll go straight in my Escort Finesse. Remember am a FEOC member and they are a direct swop on the Finesse mate

looks sweet that mate

you will have to get pictures when its in and the rev limiter is movin

88bhp @ 1.6 (Estimate)
126.7 @ 2.0

An increase of 38.7 BHP.
The figure was exactly what I wanted as the engine has a fueling problem which I have known about since I got it done.

The fueling issue can be sorted by a few tweeks and a live-mapped Unichip, this will take my figure to about 160BHPish and will sort the Torque curve, any flat spots and generaly make it run smoother all around.

Opps may i add, I got a De-Cat fitted the morning before the RollingRoad. How did everyone thing it sounded?

Oh and I have now stripped the interior so its rallystylee

Pics to come soon guys

so the installs gone aswell?

do any parts of the install need a home?

Install MAY come back but if it does not all of it, would only be there to add to the acoustics of the speakers.

Latest pic of nakedness:


Just needs a few more touches to make it look better.

Someone mentiond the idea of a polished rearstrut brace and have my harness connected to them - I like this idea as i have a polished chrome strutbrace under the bonnet. Need 2 do more research/think

Like the rally look dazza get a cage stanless steal one would look good. Car sounded great by theway.

Cleaned and polished car so heres the latest pics of my baby. Once this cheque clears Front bumper and skirts ARE comming ( ) and a few other things

you should get more out of it once the fueling is sorted!
130 standard from the factory but if you have decat and full system k&n u shud be over the 130 mark i would have thought?

Thats true if the fueling was sorted, am 10BHP down cos of it. That is one of the things am sorting once my cheque clears i hope - Basicly 150BHP is on the cards so watch this space

What does everyone think of the pics?

I like the bin in the 2nd pic

God dam smartass!!

Lookin good i think but need these skirts and my bumper back on ASAP!

Just vision a rollcage in the back there

<img border="0" alt="[Roll around the floor laffin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions065.gif" />

ya know ilike the car mate

but like ya said, ya do need the skirts and front bumper

i was just thinking that it was missing the aggression of a front bumper

and your exhaust needs to be pushed out a bit at the back bumper, maybe a nice polished steel can???

Am liking the input Aceritz, and there the exact thoughts iv had.

Work in progress tho, like always

great minds dazza, great minds
how big is the hole in your back bumber, cos i recon a nice 4 inch pipe would look and sound sweet

gonna lower it?

All good things to those that wait

Iv got my eye out for someparts Rennie yea, need to get frontbumper on 1st to see how much I have to play with

back end looks mint

What's wrong with the fuelling? Do you know why it's using so much? I've been there, and know how frustrating it is.

Yea its cos the ECU needs a set-up to re-configure the new engine etc

As I say nothing the Uni-chip cant sort

Thanx for the conceren fella

Can't you get an ECU from the car that shares your engine?

Nope cos the donner car uses PAT system and other 'tricks' so am on good nature that it cant be done

awww daz Still looking good though

lovin it daz. wot skirts u gettin??? u goin WRC front again mate???? pics are cool fella

get a 2.0 ecu from an early mondeo as they dont use pats and is ment to free the engine up a little bit more than using the 1.6 ecu (i guess you are using it)

New mod = Pipercross Viper inductionkit w/ Coldairfeed

That should stop my engine breathing in hotair like my old K&N used to.

scort cud suck a ping pong ball through a straw no. nice m8. but does it drive any better?

u recon worth the money

Still need to play around with it (You know my usual tricks with MAFs and sensors etc) but so far its quite good - and i know it'll run 10 times better when i set it up, cant wait!

Looks good too but need to shorten it alittle

***New Mods***
Blue engine tubing and blue silicone hose - More to come as it isnt finished plus some more chrome bits to come soon

Also Bumper and skirts are on there way

Looking very very nice there daz!

skirts?? uve kept them quiet, i always knew u were gettin some but u never sed which ones, WRC wide ones are mint mate and if u got them id be so jealous.

there may be a reason to that scoop lol

snap iv got the same car mk 7 escort si 2L zetec 1.6 g box did you you use the lighter 1.6 flywheel aswell at the mo im still using the 1.6 ecu have you put a 2L one in if so is it eny better and did you need to mod the water pump

Yes i used the 1.6 flywheel - The 2.0 wont fit as it will only go in the MTX75 gearbox (Mondeo) as to are IB5 box.

2.0 ECU wont fit, alot of people say it will and wont and verdict is it wont. Its to do with the 60pin set-up and PAT, the Mondeo is the only car that has BOTH 60pin and PAT and aparently the wiring is v different. I have a friend that is investigating as to if an adapter can be made - ill keep you posted.

and if you use the 1600 waterpump it should go straight on my mate

Anyone for a flat tyre sorry daz, couldnt resist

Its ok, am out 2day sourcing new street/race wheels and use my 17"s for events etc

There goin to be 15"s and will get 205's on after awhile (God dam monthly pay!)

Get proper **** wheels dazza to make it look like an ace rally rep when ur rallying it lol

i take it u 2 never crossed the looms over on ur engine swap?!

Cant swop the looms my friend!

Its ok iv sourced some 15's now just need to get some tyres sorted for it. i'll take a pic of my flat 17 and post it - Its got a BIG rip in it so i was lucky!

iv got the later black top engine so i couldn’t mount the power steering pump or the altlternator as the water pumps are different and my oil filter is on the block so my power steering pressure switch is knocking against it iv got to get the piping of a mondy to fix it its good to know someone has done the same swap I hope to have a chat on a cruise one day

ps are you useing the 2L manifold as the one on my car is to big and knocks against the brake bar iv just got the older EFI version of a 18 mondy to stop the noise

Nope not the 2.0 Manifold, it also doesnt mate to the escort downpipe.

You say your using the Blacktop engine - This engine uses Variable Valve timing? and i thought it couldnt be fitted without extensive work i.e Full front end of a car.


Also got my rims yesterday as planned, there 15" Cosworth alloys and am sticking 205/50/15's on them today (Sunday) and am getting them sprayed Black to keep the theme on my car. Also if there Black i wont miss my 17"s so much lol!

Pics v soon

everyone who uses the mondeo 2.0 in the fiestas use the 2.0 DEEP ecu.
already told you this
it will work with your engine.

i ment the inlet manifold from the 2L im still yousing the 1.6 exhaust manifold and iv had no real problems puting it in just the water pump and the power steering pump/ alternater mount needed work il post some pics soon

Should have said earlier - Car has gone to Rennie now
