Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 11m 19d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 04/06/12 08:09 AM Share Posted 04/06/12 08:09 AM (edited) Yep, not a chance in hell getting it rego'd. I know it's been done, but as pazz said a rotor, or an SR20 really is the go for an Escort. There was a 13b mk1 at powerplay and it went hard. It had tons of room in the engine bay. A mate has a 2L pinto with a blower which is pretty cool. He runs sports sedan in it.Mate, they're like 900kg, so any of these modern import turbos will have it cranking.Here is a story I just found about a sb chev conversion. Notice the comments about handling. It would be no different with an I6.http://retrorides.pr...nt&thread=51338 Edited 04/06/12 08:09 AM by Bomber Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80443-xr6-turbo-powered-1980-ford-escort-mk2/page/3/#findComment-1249134 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will fit, came with a V6 from factory and chassis kits available for the V8 so easy to get rego'd. Would be a top car IMO.

Will go hard, handle and you'll be able to stop it with a minor brake upgrade (mate runs VL turbo front calipers).
