My weird German spaceships. Merkur XR4Ti's

Haven't finished it yet- the car already ran like a scalded dog with the stock turbo, stock exhaust mani and a few other goodies, it outran an 05 STi on the highway- actually walked away pretty handily.
Since then, I added a T04e 50 trim turbo, stainless equal length tubular header, 38mm ext. wastegate, and 3in downpipe. Add the Eaton M90 to all that, and I should be pushing around 450bhp (fingers crossed) I'll be running megasquirt so management shouldn't be too bad- or at least, it will be possible to add fuel for the compounded boost. I've got RC engineering 550cc injectors and a 255lph Walbro pump, so I should be good on fuel.
Anyway, here's a better pic of the DD:

these cars are awesome if you take care of them. i have owned 4 of em and theyll flat out run. i just wish ours was like europes without the bar in the 1/4 glass. i think i might even still have a couple different xr wings in the barn. i know i had the mid wing and a cossie wing
there was a company that was bringing the cosworth escort to the states and sellin it in "kits" you installed the xr dash and you had a 300 horse awd escort.

Do you still have an XR? Yes, they do run. If you have a Cossie wing, hook a brotha up. In fact, if you have any parts, I may be interested in clearing them out for you. I hoard. ;Dmy94f2 said:
Sun International used to import full Escort RS Cosworths- they were a registered importer. I think you are referring to Draken Inc. in Canada. They used to do what you described.
