VAUD Escort MK2 4 Door

Nice. Though I'm bias I have a mk2 4 door with an XE in. Like the bonnet idea. What manifold are you using? If it fit in mk1 should fit a mk2 though depends where and how it was mounted.

i spy coscast cylinder head ford approval granted.

I have a mega-jolt set up from Trigger wheels? i have the wheel, piles of wiring and electronic 'things'
they said it is all i need for the set up i have? cost in excess of £300 so i hope it will all be good.I have a coil-pack and this will be mounted inside the car via extra long 8mm HT leads. I think i have the crank sensor in the pack as well. it contains the following;
Megajolt ECU
New coil pack and connector
New crank sensor and connector
Refurbished EDIS-4 module and connector
Set of spark plug lead adaptors
Universal crank sensor bracket
Coil pack bracket
Loom kit
36-1 trigger wheel
Complete with software and mapping cable to allow you to tune the system and maps for a wide range of engines.
i am still intending on having this up and running in 2 months max or at least by the end of June/July latest, that's legal and on the road.
Cheers!

Yep mega jolt is a common method on alot of engines. They are a pretty simple kit to install. But make sure you mount the trigger wheel perfectly a friend had a lot of issues with imbalance and the signal issues that caused. XE has its own trigger wheel on the crank but isn't compatible with mega jolt as it's 62-1 (iirc it's been a while).
I'm guessing ur using the standard injection setup? So will have two Ecu's, one for the sparks and one for fueling?
Wiring the mega jolt is a simple affair I've done a couple for friends cars. (Used to do auto electrics on hgvs for a living so get roped in lol)
Omega v6 leads are ideal for long ht leads, is what I used with my coil pack on gearbox tunnel. I have hidden all my wiring under the bonnet for a clean look.

Couple of tips when wiring, draw your loom on paper first, doesn't have to be to scale but having a clear idea in first place will save you headaches.
get reusable cable ties for the first run of looms, makes life so much simpler as it will change.
Only use good quality connectors/crimps, ones that came with my friends mega jolt kit were complete junk, this was a while back and they may have changed them. Don't use scotch locks!
Solder where possible but soldering is not always best where alot of vibration/flex will occur so bear that in mind.
Label, label label! Get a cheap label printer/small stickers and label your wires as you go along what it's for and live/negative rating etc. Makes trouble shooting 1000x easier if you have issues and makes changes further down line simpler too.
If you have any other questions shoot me a pm I might be able to assist.

Tidy engine bay! well done, and thanks again for the advice, all has been taken on board! many thanks!!!

practice burn out with matches!

Cool project.
What suspension and brakes are you planning?

looking for a good anti tramp kit for the Atlas rear, wheel well area now welded, gearbox tunnel is solid, Still got a few other bits to do, but it's coming along pretty quickly.



looking for the right connection for this part, fuel pipe on the standard redtop inlet manifold, anyone got one?
