i should probably browse the website a lil more. but my question is. what exactly can your company produce.

i have a 3rd gen myself and probably most of the guys who will come here and post know me. but some things that i know personally that our community is in need of is:

1. better transmissions
2. availability of bottom end parts (forged pistons, rods, and possibly a lightened/balanced/knife-egded crank)

3. defiantly would like to see more N/A options for my fellow members such as cams, more header options(there are only 2 availible), pulley kits, better intake manifolds(for boosted application as well) preferably sheet metal. and maybe even offer head packages. currently, thats if they still even do offer them......Gude performance were the only avaible ones

4. possibly the introduction of a true bolt-on turbo kit for the 1.9L and 2.0L SOHC motors along with the 1.8L. i can help with the 1.9L/2.0L options if need be, being that i already have a perfectly working custom setup. y=i could possibly help you guys blueprint something and inform you of what needs to be addressed to make it work(it'll save you some footwork)

5. if you do superchargers, that is something a lot of my fellow members are interested in as well. a buddy of mine could also help out with that, as he did one on his(boostedgen3) if he comes over and posts.

those are just some of the things we definatly need. once you start working with us u will see we are serious about our escorts(as funny as that may sound) but we are. if you would like to contack me personally i can be reached at:

We really need N/A buildup parts. Pistons, Rods, Cranks, Cams, Valves, etc.

One thing I was going to buy, but BDR quit making, was an Adjustable Cam Gear. Not spectacular, but it does make a noticeable difference and I would love to have one.

Suspension components as well; anti-sway bars, tie-bars, strut bars, sub-frame connectors, etc.

Thank you for your interest!

Usually are parts supplies are come out in this order as long as I have a motor to base off of...
•header flange
•intake flange
•Wiseco piston kit
•UD pulley
•phenolic intake gasket
•main girdle
•long tube header
•turbo header

basically what I would need is a bleak down on how the motors are related, engine codes and year ranges. If one of you guys could do that than this could be very promising.

If anyone has a pistons from the each of the motors than I can send them off to Wiseco and I can have custom pistons available very soon.

I can give you the breakdown on 1st gen engines, I'll let others chime in on the 2nd and 3rd gen cars.

1981-1985 had the 1.6l engine. they also had a hemispherical combustion chamber. all of these had a carb on them except the turbocharged models produced from 84-85. in 85 they changed over to the 1.9l engine. In 1985 this was only produced with a carb. carburated cars used a heart shaped combustion chamber called a high swirl chamber. In 1986 they had the carb 1.9 and the GT had a 1.9 HO, with multipoint injection and a tuned 4-2-1 header. the GTs went back to the Hemi head. I cannot remember if they still had a carb in 87 or if they switched to fuel injection for LX models, but somewhere between 87 and 88 they swapped to CFI for the base model escorts. the CFI cars had a different intake manifold flange than the EFI cars. also CFI cars use a D shaped combustion chamber with smaller valves. this is the same basic head that the 2nd gen cars use. thats all I can really think of right now. any other questions, let me know.

Because they are a custom application the total is about $600 with rinds pins and pin clips.

As long as I have a EO part and feed back from someone in the Escort community I can make parts or have them made. this goes for header flanges, intake flanges, Phenolic intake gaskets, UD pulleys, etc.

I don't have a contact at the moment for cams but if that where to be a largely requested item than I can get the ball rolling on that.

As for the tranny, I really wouldn't be able to do a whole lot with a tranny as we pretty much exclusively work with engines.

what would you say is the parts needed most? we have strong partnerships with many manufacturers.

here is what we can have done, give me a rating for each of these based on the demand that you have experienced.

Pistons (Wiseco Pistons)
Connecting Rods (Pauter Machine)
MLS Head Gaskets (Cometic and Ajusa)
Fasteners (ARP)
Phenolic Intake Gaskets (OURSELVES)
Clutch kits (OURSELVES)
Steel Flywheels (Fidanza)
Mild and Stainless Header Flanges (OURSELVES)
Mild and Stainless Intake Flanges (OURSELVES)
Custom "Iron Clad" Gaskets (Header and High Temp use) (Cometic and OURSELVES)
Main Girdle (OURSELVES)
Custom Motor/Tranny Mount Brackets (OURSELVES)

Feel free to add to this list if you think there is something more important. This list is of what would be the fastest for us to make or have parts made.

question is, what site is the most active, what site covers the most escort technical info and is there anyone on the forum located in Colorado.

once that stuff is squared out then i think we can start moving forward.

The SPI and 1.9 are really the two engines than need help. There's lots of stuff for the ZX2 and mazda 1.8. A good set of headers for the 2.0 would be amazing, ones that don't need to be modified to fit!

Before I can even get started with anything I need a rep and a car to moch the parts up to.

If there is anyone out there that anyone knows in Colorado with knowledge and and Escort I would like to meat up with them.

I'll likely be attending SEMA this year I'm hoping to make good contacts that can with this as well.
