mmm... 1902 hehe

 

i think the factory setting is 14 degrees btdc so im at 16 degrees btdc. Runs fine on good gas.

 

i thing the factory is 10 degree. becose they moved mine to put at 14 degree, but i will move it to 16 this summer.

 

Ohhhh i cant wait for my vacation to florida this summer. We are gonna have some fun jesse

 

either of you guys want me to do a movie
hehehe

 

No movie :-) Im getting a Bp with 100k for 150 bucks bruce :-) . Whens your motor going in Bruce? ..Jon

 

I'm glad to see some more escort board guys joined up on this.. thought i was kinda alone! MY car will be at the track this summer, I can't wait to see some times man!

 

we have a import shoot out the 7 of july, i will try to be there if i got my new clutch and i will try to do better time and you never know maybe a movie too

 

both of you come over here so I can chant "fight, fight, fight!" j/k lol

 

hey i have an idea... lets everybody get pissed off and take everything personally.. that way if we eer meet in public we can just have a big ******* fight and get it over with... or we can just accept the fact that for some reason one car stock is faster than the others.... it happens, get over it. Personally i have raced quite a few protege LX's AND EGT's... from what i have consistantly observed the EGT's stock are somewhat quicker... we even tested this theory in houston when one guy i knew had a protege LX 5-speed and the other had an EGT 5-speed.. they even swapped cars with the same results.. the EGT came out on top every time, not by a massive margin, but still noticably quicker. i dont claim to know how or why, thats just what i have seen.. hell im sure there are some guys with EGT 5speed's stock that can't drop any better than a mid-16.. who knows, who cares. it just happens, so get over it

 

The only reason why the EGT is faster is because it is lighter. Its not because of any tuning that Ford did. Ford is no where near capable of doing some of the stuff Mazda can. Mazda engineers are just... smart.

 

I think they are lighter. A hatch would be lighter than a four door right?

 

dude.. a 91 and 92 are like 100lbs lighter. 93+ weight like the same.

I wanna know why escorts are rated at 127 hp where pros are rated at 125.. same freakin engine.. I dun get it. But i don't think the weight has a lot to do with it

I also agree with you rx7_2ner

 

100lbs is a bit of a difference. people have said to me for every 100 lbs off its about 1/10th of a second off so like 16.0 to 15.9 so that can be alot of different really at times.

turboge in one of his posts was looking for the 'header style' exhaust manifold from a *91*-96 EGT.....

so i ask any of you guys with the 91,92 EGT - did it come with a tubular 'header style' exhaust manifold??? i assume it did because of Braden's post, BUT I have not personally seen a 91 EGT to check.

if so, that's a decent explanation for the horsepower difference; and with the EGT's lighter weight, makes for the quicker car.
