recently decided as the kitchen is in the middle of a big make over,
why not bring the engine in the warm haha

picture showing the escort turbo manifold's big restriction, which meant the power was turned down to keep it safe
notice how ports 2 and 3 merge into one
oh well it done me ok at 358bhp for now

picture of my air injector which allows the ecu to control how much boost it runs at any point of the map
e.g i make full 27psi of boost at 3k revs, but its turned down at 4k revs to keep the power down

bolted my powdercoated rear engine plate with new bolts on

got some other bits to go with the new ib5 gearbox, thanks again mark
the ib5 gearbox shim

hardly used puma gear selector which will complement the ib5 gearbox well for good shifting

loom and starter to allow the starter now being at the back of the engine
(undecided wether to buy a new starter or refurb this one)

apart from maybe giving the block one more coat of paint
all was looking good, until i realised something

so i put the gearbox shim on to confirm my suspisions
the relocated oil breather is in the way of the starter motor at the back of the engine
so in the middle of sorting that at the moment, but what a pain in the arse

some new fast road vibratechnic gearbox mounts arrived

also have a few old fusion fabrication bits around
but chrome is'nt to my taste anymore, so heres before i started prepping

heres after some satin matt black

As the breather had to be moved,
because the new gearbox relocates the starter motor to the back of the engine,

so the old man machined a thread, quick check to make sure it was the right thread

then after some further machining it was finished just needed cleaning

next up was getting the engine back on an engine stand

turned over, sump, pickup pipe and windage tray off

so next up to relocate the breather as the old hole was sorted,
was to drill and tap the block in the new location,
starting from the top, centre drill, tap drill, reamer with taper, tappered tap and the breather fitting

used an sds drill so we could have power without high speed for the tap drill (which was centred before using)

with lots of prep, clean cloths were everywhere to stop the swarf getting anywhere,
even had the hoover going at the same time and a small magnet
it all went well and was very thorough in cleaning after of any swarf

the breather fitting in its new position,

and a view from inside, very happy

decided to give the block a coat of satin black while i have the chance,
as there were a few bits that could of been better
all prepped ready

much happier even if you cant see much difference in pictures

got the front engine mount ready

and in position

had the wiper linkage apart, so it could be prepped for the satin black treatment aswell

with some new bits to go back together when on the car
