Hi I'm new to retro rides. Does anyone know anything about the Turbo Technics XR3i? I bought one a while back which I'm restoring but all the Turbo Technics parts are missing, all I have is the original engine. I have paperwork and the plaque but that's it. I've seen a couple of engine pics on line but there doesn't seem to be any technical info out there. I called TT but all they said was "they have no info on the kit because it's no longer available". Any info would be great.

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Excellent, that's shed some light. But I wonder what was done to the revised metering head?

It's a real shame TT cannot be of more help as they should really be more in-tune with their past products so as to ensure their survival...
I reckon the XR club is your best bet for info' as there will almost certainly be someone there who can help you out...
Good luck with the restoration, please do let us know how it all goes...

theres nobody left at TT from their conversion days I believe and they haven't done anything for a long time bar turbo reconditioning. Alan Jeffery www.enginetuner.co.uk/home.htmknows about many of them and might be able to help |

As baggabones says, it's very odd they have no records of the Escort conversion. I will ask a mate for you.

Is there a Turbo Technics club or forum...?!
It might me a good idea for someone to form something like that if it's not already in existence as TT was darn big back in the day and responsible for some very tasty cars...!!!

Thanks for all the replies people. I'll try and get hold of Alan Jeffrey and see if he can shed some light. TT are a turbo reconditioning company nowadays, nothing like it was back in the 80's. I've been on the XR forums and the best info is from the links at the top of this thread.

Excellent, that's shed some light. But I wonder what was done to the revised metering head? The usuall TT mod was a profile block glued or screwed to the metering head Page 10 of the below PDF www.turbotechnics.com/TT_Capri.pdf |
