err, I know what a carb is as my 1.1 runaround is fuelled by one

Its a front wheel drive...pretty much took over for the Fiesta (of which I have had 3, all '77-80's) when it was discontinued over here. I wished and wished that they would import the Cossie....never has happened. There are a few in my state but not street legal. Cant get 'em licensed.

anyway, here is my '88 Escort GT...

My goal is to do something like that w/ phidgets (a bit less techinical though) I have no turbo or anything of the sort.

I liike what U have thought. Real sexy

Here's a pic of a second gen...

Only trouble is mine is using the Weber Marelli management from a Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 and as such is a real pig to interface with.

I have someone who's making a microcontroller box for it at the moment so that data packets can be sent to the PC, but that's a long term goal!

Cheers,

Any Idea if the intake mani fits on the 1.9l cvh?

The DFI install is cake....I laid out the wiring harness and figured where everything was to go first. then, i mocked it up and zip tied all the critical lengths. Then, i took it back out and wrapped it up with loom so it looked OEM. Turned out very clean. If you need help let me know. I can walk you thru it.

Nevermind, I realized it's the same engine...

Sorry guys.

For some reason they get all the goodies for their Escorts, we are stuck in the stone ages in the US.
