I got a Garrett T3 turbo, what all will I have to have to bolt it up, and how much psi would I be able to run on a stock 1.9? Also where can I get a cheap turbo manifold?

For the 1.9....ahh your guess is as good as mine wouldn´t be to be honest. What´s cool though, you´ll have the first 1.9L turbo I´ve heard about.

You would have to get the RS turbo manifold to put the t-3 turbo on your Escort. Right now I am the only person who has turboed their 1991 Ford Escort lx second gen. here is a link to pictures and a write up on how I turboed my Escort http://pub51.ezboard.com/funitedescortownersboardfrm63.showMessage?topicID=150.topic you can run 6 to 7 PSI on your stock engine.

Cool, thanks for the link bro, thats very helpful, I hope to get this project underway soon. Wish me luck

Ill be sure to get pics of everything.

Also if I may ask, where did you get the RS turbo manifold? Cant find one on ebay

.

You have to get a RS turbo manifold from europe. It bolts up directly to the 1.9 liter engine.

What do you mean I gotta get one from europe? Like is there a company or something? Thanks in advance.

Ever heard of the RS Escort, it is a factory turboed Ford Escort that was sold in Europe. What they do is strip the old cars down and sell the parts. And the factory turbo manifold from the RS Escort will fit on the 1.9 liter Escort LX.

Yea, Ive heard of the RS Escort, so whom do I contact to get a manifold?

Try http://www.rscentre.co.uk/ to get an RS turbo manifold.

Jesus christ man, you bumped a thread that is almost 10 years old. No body in here is even a member any more.

If you have a Mk1 UK Escort and need a intake manifold, then yeah it'll work. But then you'd have a 1.6 and not a 1.9.
