#1: Escort Rs Turbo S2 *VIDS OF THE FIRST DRIVE* Author: ersturbo, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:58 pm ---- Might not be every bodys cup of tea but i know in my newbies thread couple of people liked it so thought id put a couple more pics up for you lot to have a look at!!
I brought the car for £1900 knowing there was a few bits wrong with it that needed abit of tlc but this obviously went to abit more then i hoped. Whilst driving the car back i thought it was abit slow but i was comparing it to my last 320bhp escort rs turbo so didnt think much of it. about a week later i went to lakeside and got slaughtered by another standard rs turbo so it was time to take the car for a mapping session at torque of the devil. first run = 88bhp and 3psi of boost lol at standard rs turbo suppose to run about 10psi. whilst mapping it on the 19th run it spun all its bearings DOH!! So finished the day off with 170bhp and and buggered engine.

The knowledge just comes in time and practice mate to be honest
T3 is the standard turbo for rs turbo's, its not to bad really having a replica cheaper insurance but ye you yourself know its not an actual rs
I'd love to go to a scrap yard and see an rs turbo id end up buying the whole car.........literally lol
