Modified MG Maestro Turbo

[Mike Brock]

Hi Peter - these are the driveshafts Man Transmissions made for me. Very pleased with them as if you had seen the condition of them before hand you could appreciate the work that has gone into them.

I'm going to install this swirl pot system with a lift fuel pump and the primary Bosch 044 racing pump.

[Jeff Turbo]

Will it be finished this year Mike?

[Mike Brock]

No Jeff - realistically late next year. Just spent loads on the project but still a long way to go. However this is where the fun starts - putting all those parts I've collected over the years together.

Where you putting the swirl pot? In spare wheel well?

[Mike Brock]

I think I will Peter - in that position it'll keep things tidy and out of harms way.

Seen few nice set ups in mark 2 escorts, they all seem to be in spare wheel well, have a little nosey on passion ford

Chargecooler for 385 - this is a used one from a Nissan I believe that I bought some time ago. Four core and seems to have the entry/outlet positioned about right. Modifications to make it fit over the gearbox will probably be required?

Turbo arrived today - Cosworth RS500 compressor with uprated T34 turbine. Remember supercharger will spool it up - no turbo lag.

[charliecosworth]

nice am jealous where you going to fit charge cooler rad? has am thinking of pulling the idea fitting one on mine just too tight on space.

[EVO AL]

Awesome!

[Mike Brock]

To be honest Peter I haven't sized the intercooler or charge rad together yet. I'm thinking along the lines of welding the chargecooler rad directly flat against the rad tec radiator. The intercooler will sit below - the main engine rad will likely be totally obscured. I suspect the slam panel will need to be removed though for more space?

Hiya Mike, looking good! Can I see the maestro turbo radtec radiator as I am going to get one but just wanted to see one. Cheers pal, jake

[Mike Brock]

Hi Jake - its still in production - but when it arrives I certainly will put a picture or two up here and on my website. Hows are getting on with your project?
