I've got one in a Mk1 Ford Escort. It leaks oil, only has single spark per cylinder, has no intercooler, and my battery keeps going flat, causing me to miss trains and be late to work (but I don't think I can blame that specifically on the engine). Other than that, I like it.

I've got one in my Celica. Running nicely at the moment. Just adding an intercooler which would be good. Then shortly larger 13b injectors & turbo to start having some fun.
Autronic smc is running the engine.
Rebuilt with forgies too. Thats probably about it.

hey 3TGEscort, did you have a forum logon "cruiser" or something like that before, and emailed me about buying my intercooler? If so, have you found anything else that might fit in the front of the MK1? Even something like a standard Series 4 RX7 cooler would be much better than nothing.

TE72_Turbo, yep, that's me! Laziness and lack of funds has shelved the intercooler idea for a while. I am investigating getting a series 4 rx7 'cooler "boxed up" and turned into a water-to-air. I'd rather this setup to a front mount, as I'd prefer to keep what's under the bonnet a bit of a secret. Well, not a secret as such, just 'out of view' to Joe Public.

i have a TA63 celica gt-t with a factory 3t-gteu.. its stock as a rock, goes like no tommorow, and cant wait to start modding it (cash is low)..
i was going to sell it, but i think im going to be losing too much money if i do, so i will just keep it as there is nothing wrong with it.
i had a 600x300x80 cooler waiting to go on, but ran out of cash and sold that cooler, so yeh.. 
anyway, i will stop boring you guys,
Robbie

n the diff in my AE86 sprinter is not IRS!
its a MA70 item which was the last of the non-irs lsd supra diffs!
looked at puttin in IRS but the diff was $1200 new, and to much work to modify the under-body to fit!
