anyone???
A few ?? on turbocharging the first gen escorts
What pumps and injectors will work in thr first gen escorts (89 1.9L). How about an adjustable fuel regulator for stock fuel rail?? Im trying to put together a good turbo combo for a friends 89 escort GT. I would like to make 200-250hp. We are currently running to lean with the stock fuel pump and 24 lb injectors with a T25 turbo
Will a 5.0L mustang fuel pump fit?
We are now running only 4psi boost. After I finish building a alky injection kit I want to run 10 psi.

Just about any parts from a Mustang 5.0 will work. I know the Injectors will work. I´m 98% sure the fuel pump will work too, and 75% sure the fuel pressure regulator will work as well. If the regulator will work that means there are a ton of adjustable aftermarket regulators out there to choose from, same with the fuel pump. Also you could get the injectors from a T-bird Turbo Coupe, or Super Coupe. They are highter output than the stock 5.0 injectors.
Last time I checked ERDT they were down due to a hacker attack. Any news on that?
ERDT moved to a new style of forum you can link to it from there old site. There keeping the old on for archives though.
thankyou , If mustang stuff works that would be excellent!!!
Try this site: He´s got a 1st Gen GT turboed. http://www.turboegt.com/
hey, you should dump the t25 and get a t3 from a Merkur XR4Ti.
im considering turboing my 88 egt. What did you use for a turbo exhaust manifold? I was probably going to make one anyway, but if i can get one easy it would save me the trouble

also, unless youve upgraded your connecting rods or pistons, id go easy on that 10 psi of boost. Somewhere i read that a factory 1.9L HO can only handle 7 or 8 psi safely. But if youve upgraded your rods and pistons, and your fuel management, i think you could easily run 15 psi.
dont take my word for it...im not a turbo expert, but ive done some research
good luck
