BACK ON THE DYNO with my ST170 powered Mk1 Escort! 😃

It was time to 'Esther' my ST170 powered Mk1 Escort back on the dyno with tuning genius Chris Todd!
Since the last video I failed (again) to solve her oil leaks,
bodged her heater hoses to stop the coolant leaking into her cockpit
AND I fitted a set of my refurbished injectors from Bells Auto Services! (see links below)
BUT the real question is: did her new engine make more OR less power than the old one????

Perfect marcus gd day for you worth all the hard graft you put in on your classics 👍

[@benpatsy2076]

13:07 "This is going to get me in trouble".. That look from Cat.. Lol.

[@marcushayesford]

😃

[@paulwynn8029]

Your getting there mate dont rush it on last leg slow and sure car looks mega and sounds sweet well done.

[@richardjones7036]

Man what a noise .... So happy for ya mate seems to be all going your way now bud keep at it with these videos

[@busydoingstuff2155]

Congrats, your car looks and sounds brilliant. Great amount of power without losing drivability. Looks like nice British spring weather too.

[@mk2steve23]

Great result on the dyno Marcus. I guessed very close to what it actually made . Chris has worked his magic again .It sounded so different once chris adjusted the exhaust cam timing . Good strong power mate 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍 Im just glad it made more than the last engine. dropping the debri in the cylinder was fate! 😃

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

All that hard work is starting to reap results a real credit to you Marcus🙌🏻

[@neilbryant1512]

One word Marcus ! Superb !!! Ester looks a rite little rocket bud ! All that hard work payed off lovely job matey ! When’s mauds new paint job happening? 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@donaljamescaddye3805]

Really enjoyed that vid Marcus ! The sound of Esther on full chat is so good ! I'd say you are buzzing now that she is on the road - all them minor problems just add to the character!! You will get them sorted !absolutely delighted - my favourite channel on utube👍

[@steven-vn9ui]

nice result, worth all the effort. that car is a credit to you Marcus. Please consider some air filters though mate, will keep the engine sweet

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍 You'r totally right that I should run filters BUT Iv heard they can knock 10% off the power AND realistically I would need to get it re-mapped. Almost everyone I know never runs filters with DCOE carbs (even with super expensive built engines) so I think I'll just risk it seeing as Im only running a £300 Focus lump! 😃

[@reggiekray270]

For the 90 bend you could get a scrap of copper pipe n fill it with sand then bend it

[@JB-np4lp]

Sounds lovely mate. Superb to finally see Esther running around the streets of Londinium, 😉🤟👍

[@geo_neo9]

Great outcome there bro. Thats the thing with fords the quality of parts can let you down often. I used to own a mark 1 escort auto 72 k reg. I do love them. However my greatest love are the Peugeot 205 1.9 gti. I fitted a 306 gti6 engine with 40k miles on clock with a 5 speed gearbox for a better turn circle. With a rerouted oil breather, fitted a lightweight flywheel and I managed to get 181bhp which is 205 bhp per ton from a standard 167bhp engine. Which is pretty significant due to a few small mods. I also added uprated thinner engine oil so engine has less drag. Every little bit helps lol. My future plans are fast cams, throttle bodies n a few other little mods so I can get around 205 to 210 bhp. That will be more than enough for a street car. Good luck Marcus in getting these leaks all sorted out. Its usually an ongoing job with these things and fords. I'll keep an eye out for your future work on your beautiful mk1 esscy.

[@That_black_mk6]

glad to see she made good figures 184bhp i like the part where you said ''this things gonna get me in trouble'' was my favourite part

[@gileshamilton4462]

Good result , head & cams next then for 200+ !

[@jeffshaw4553]

Wow what a noise she’s making love Esther what a machine well done she sounds good and goes very well 😃😃😃🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Esther is looking good Marcus be safe and enjoy...!!!!

[@stephenmiddleton4770]

its great to see her finally on the road I am pleased for you

[@mikeyoakes180]

That’s a brilliant day in the dyno mate! I bet she pulled well on the way home! Kat impressed with the driving as always 😂

[@marcushayesford]

She feels strong mate! 👍 Cat loves it! (she doesn't 😃)

[@PureEvolution]

loving the old skool cars nice to see them still getting looked after

[@mikefpe]

Great power. As for the diff just get the welder out 😬👌🏻

[@marcushayesford]

If Maude wasn’t my daily (on the odd occasion that she’s actually on the road! 😀) I would defo weld the diff! 😀😀😀

[@MrVxrman]

A great result Marcus 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Your right about them burgers as well 😂😉 All the best 😃🍻👍🏻

[@carlomahony3016]

Looking and sounding great pal now don't blow her up

[@Baz-ms7pb]

Had my STi on the rollers at Surrey Rolling Road a few times for power runs to confirm the figures estimated by Andy Carr when live mapping on the road. Good lads there.

[@JustinPaul1st]

My weird Ford based life😆😆😆👍👍👍

[@marcushayesford]

Its weird but I love it! 😃

[@jackgrainger8404]

Great watching you thrashing the mk1 round my home town!

[@rs2klee]

1/4 mile you should see low to mid 13`s with that 182 nice figures that Marcus, my 2.2 pinto on 50`s made 192 with a standard ignition. did 1/4 in 13.7 i can feel your smile mate lol ;) now get the slipper in..

[@marcushayesford]

The last time I took Esther to Santa Pod (about 7 years ago when she was in primer) she did a 14.4 with a 145 bhp Pinto. She's quite a bit lighter now so Im hoping to just about get into the 13s. . . . . . Maybe somebody who can actually launch her properly would get a low 13! 😃

[@yvindninakorneliussen2217]

Esther sound is just amazing♥️

Chris is a genius and he's always willing to explain things to me so I can learn stuff whilst Im there. 👍 She goes well mate! 👍

[@michaelrose209]

Great video mate..regarding your window, put a line of sealer (tiger seal) between the rubber, press the window back in, and leave it wound up for 24hrs..should be sweet after 👌

[@steves_escort_mk2654]

Sounds awesome mate really looking forward to coming to shows soon and seeing her in the flesh!

Awsome video Esther is running really well good job bruv thanks for sharing this video

[@taffymk1244]

Spot on with the BHP, your idle probably sounds weird/lumpy now, coz you've swung the exhaust cam back, but will sound fine when being driven...keep them vids coming 😀

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍 And thanks for the advice about the idle. . . . . Its was actually a very simple fix and I explain it in the next video! 😃

[@johnpells5992]

Good job ester is making good power ,great video bud 👍👍

[@anotherdayinparadise7443]

Domestic !! Family come first 👍🏻 ,nice figures Marcus.. (this is going to get me in trouble )🤣🤣

[@Cartrek123]

so many problems with leaking sumps. As your sump doesn’t have a lip to retain the gasket - have you tried sticking the gasket to the sump with “well seal” first, letting it dry and then use well seal on the block too ?? Also, I’ve had more success with cork gaskets as they are less likely to slide around and get squished when the bolts are tightened up. Also, have you spoken to your precision engineering guy to ask if he can weld a lip to the inside and outside of the sump gasket mating face so that the gasket is retained in position when tightening- that would solve all your problems in one go ?? Cheers.

[@marcgould8922]

Nice one mate 👍

[@marty3469]

You must be so happy mate😁 great result bhp

[@philipwalsh3012]

Great test bhp.... just a few gremlins to sort out am sure you will manage it well done Marcus

[@davidliley6238]

Think you need to buy Kat a neck brace when she's going out for a spin with you.

[@clivebannister7016]

I always use hairspray to insert windows it lubes it to slip in the mount then sets like glue to hold it.

[@justinsheldon5015]

Always found that decent seals and Fords OEM the oil seals are double lipped , so better quality . Some of the cheaper after market ones are single lipped.

[@marcushayesford]

The Victor Reinz was soooo much better than the old one. 👍

[@brendanobrien5842]

On you go Marcus.. So made up for you an Cat now youve finally got Ester 90% there!!! Yes youve still got a list of outstanding jobs to do... But its a F.O.R.D. buddy! "FIX.. OR.. REPAIR.. DAILY.. " At least now your dealing with a car thats not got possible catastrophic engine issuse. This time last week you had white smoke and major oil dumps happening.. Really dont want to offer you any advice, cos you get more than enough already. But i would like to suggest just one thing, " loose that bloody sump " im sure its giving you heaps of problems you dont need.. Any how. Proper enjoyed seeing yous both 😃 now Esters runni g swt!!! Cant wait to see your next vid. Bob

[@stephengreatbatch1269]

Well done great video and more power from her 🙂and the sound of her is pucker can’t wait to see her get a LSD Mexico all the way 👍

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks mate! 👍 When I get Maude's diff re-built it MIGHT (it will) be temporarily fitted to Esther! I want to see how the 4.1:1 ratio feels with the RX8 gbox. . . . . . . . and I want to do some doughnuts in 'Mexico' 😃

[@stephengreatbatch1269]

Hey Marcus have you thought about trying a spacer in your prop shaft flange just to get that bit more length to see if that helps

[@marcushayesford]

Thanks for the advice! 👍 I did consider just fitting a spacer but I THINK the UJs are worn anyway so may as well fit a fresh prop made to the correct length. 👍

I wonder why you don't just rip out the heater matrix and associated extra weight? I mean, do you really need a heater when you're at the level of installing carbon panels for weight loss?

[@busydoingstuff2155]

When you go on a night time cruise you need to keep warm and toastie otherwise it's pretty miserable shivering away.
