1984 first gen Fe3 *slammed turbo*

This is my starter thread. Lol I got the truck running condition for $550.

2013 March .

Last year put a fe3 Kia motor and ecu in it. With a 86+ trans , kept my tailshaftabd made my mounts. 3inch blocks on it in the rear and 1 1/2 coils cut in the front.

Mazda mx6 recaro bucket seat swap . I'll get the pics today . All I have is a YouTube video of it running. Lol

2013 December.

Nice swap! Can't wait to see someone swap into a pre 79 body style now.

I'd love a earlier front grill setup

Ok I'm going to post updates in the first post as the build progresses

I'm a Ford escort lover at heart and found a new FE3 discovery. Anyone interested I'll post a pic soon

Post up

The picture doesn't do it's justice but it's very very close port wise. And if anyone us interested I can probably get 2 or 3 adapter flanges made. Most likely I will be using this. Manifold

Ok instead of venturing, I decided on getting the bp turbo manifold like everyone else. My intercooler showed up yesterday. My blow off valve and my bar ends for the rear axle. Hopefully I can decide on a megasquirt set-up I'm so confused on this area ... Anyone want to do a FE3 in a 1st gen ? I may have a header for sale

Ok I got me a ms1 v3.57. It's used but new. If that makes sense. New in box is better explanation. It's setup for fuel/spark and VR is build into this boars so I should be able to use the factory 60-2 wheel .

My current problem is my hole is off a little and the truck idles like it has a massive cam. With slight backfire, but on driving it hauls . So I presume it's over advanced.
