My mate has a Escort with a 1jz, It had 320hp atw and weighed 1060kg. He's now halfway through fitting a GTX3071r to it.

Here's a video of it at Morgan Park, Just after he finished building it.

Here him at Mt Cotton Hillclimb, The smoke's from the rear turbos' damaged oil seal.

Any reason your set on an escort?

As mentioned before a Capri or Cortina would be more suitable. Would need plenty of money for all that fab work, front/rear end etc. And will u rego it?

I think in most states also if you modify the f/wall you won't be able to register.

I've modified my fire wall and the car is getting fully engineered, A Cortina will also need a firewall job to make it fit with a nice amount of room, the added benefit over a Escort is a Capri and Cortina can run an engine up to 5ltr in Capacity, so a 4ltr is well within the limit's, but this in Vic of course, my chassis guy also has found a loop hole to have the car fully engineered with the 6 point chromoly cage which will be getting done aswell...

Be prepared to be forking out lot's of $$, if you dont have lot's of $$ to back you dont even think about starting such a conversion...

This is takin from fullboost forum's record list, it's a Cortina with a Barra im not sure this pic will work...

There's also a Eskie Panel Van with a Barra T in it!

I'll try and find the links, it was for sale when I saw it!

Stand by.
