Twin

[twinturbo]

Pinto?

That's a 2.0 DOHC.

TT

[Twin]

Is it not the same block?

PS just testing ;)

[twinturbo]

There may be 1 minor component like a nut that they share in common, otherwise they have nothing in common..

TT

[Twin]

The nut will be me then :D

[AshG]

was just about to say thats not a pinto then scrolled down and saw tt post.

dhoc be that.... will also mean you have an mt75 gearbox, hope your chassis is not too far along.

[Twin]

Handy's not had the order yet ;)

[RAYLEE29]

best just chuck that away chap, as its not worth the hassle to fit it, look for a different engine ie: pinto cvh zetec duratec or even a crossflow
people have fitted them but probably wished they hadnt

eh?

twincams not bad

Well it probably wheighs as much as a piece of shit cologne (around half a ton lol) has torque instead of power is too tall has a difficult sump to mod needs the plenum cut and shut and then theres the electrics
but you were just jokiing! right?
theres only really one twincam worth fitting a cossie turbo.

What bits that?

[RAYLEE29]

Hi, the plenum is the big ally air intake that has the throttle body attached to it at the front you seem to have removed it from the engine already.
unless your car is a carbed version in which case you dont need to worry about it
Ray:)
ps i did post a pic of a modded one on here ages ago so it is possible if you are dead set on using the engine but you will have hassle

[twinturbo]

It's defiantly lighter.

torque instead of power

More power than a stock Pinto EFI
More power than any CVH other than an RST
More power than Most 1.8 Zetecs.


is too tall has a difficult sump to mod

All the alloy sumps are a pain.

needs the plenum cut and shut

So does an EFI pinto or a Zetec


and then theres the electrics

Eh? The electrics are simple, definatly simpler than trying to sort bypassing the PATS on a ZETEC Too...




Every engine fitment is going to take a bit of work. I see no reason not to use the DOHC even though If I am honest I hate the bloomin things.

[RAYLEE29]

I didnt know an engine could show defiance lol
definately a very naughty one indeed
bad bad engine dont do it again lol

You know they should introduce a law for mocking people with dyslexia.



Joking aside, I hate the DOHC.. I have had a few of them and they usually use water as a consumable.. But they produce good clean smooth power and are tractable.

[RAYLEE29]

Did you hear about the dyslexic pimp
bought a warehouse lol
dyslexia rules no k
etc :D :D

[Twin]

Raylee29,

It's DOHC with carb :)

PS Why is Dyslexia so hard to spell?

[RAYLEE29]

That will make it easier as you may be able to use the inlet untouched, you will still need to mod the sump and possibly remove some of the bottom of the bellhousing also give some thought to getting the flywheel lightened as it wheighs loads
Ray:)
even harder to spell dispraxia lol
