Escort Mk2, 2.0L Duratec

Paul and his dad Colin have been building his Mk2 Escort for 11 years. It is powered by a standard 2.0L Duratec engine with our TP203 kit and using our high specification taper throttle bodies. It has a MBE9A4 ECU with coil on plug set up, rad fan and electric water pump[control. The engine is dry sumped.

Once the car was finished, Paul brought the car to our workshop for a quick set up check, before getting the necessary documents for competition use.
