The Cosworth YB engine....

Mart · 13-10-2003, 17:18

is a awsome unit

Had my first experience of one yesterday, in a Sierra Sapphire 4x4 RS Cosworth no less.

This thing has some history under its bonnet, were talking a re-built stage 4 with Rs500 intercooler etc etc, it won ten of the best in something like 1997 and the owner has a print-out from pod of sub 13`s

.

Took it out and it was a animal, it was quite laggy but once the boost came on it launched its self at a silly rate, just an awsome machine.

The YB engine is the way forward, I prefer the Cavalier dash and interior but much prefer the YB powerplant and lets face it the Cosworth wins on overall looks.

Welcome to the converted my friend.

I have driven one Cossie but it had a 420bhp (genuine bhp) engine and boy did it ever go. The lag wasn't too bad in this and it pulled like a 2.0 Mondeo up 3grand and then let rip.

The YB has a herritage and tuning platform that no-one can compete with for the same money.

If i could afford the running costs i would go and get one tomorrow.
A mint rs cosworth 3dr would be nice

*dribble* oooh 3dr

And of course you have the choice of a hard as nails 3dr, more refined looking 4x4 saphire with leather, air-con and 4wd! And then the more modern Escort.

No its got to be the 3dr unmodded in white.

Arse why did i have to go and buy a house

For me it would be a black or moonstone 3dr with a cage and compomotives and buckets and...

I think we should have a cossie section on MIG

Mate of mine has a white 3dr it looks a bag of sh#t you could mistake it for a replica but its got over 400bhp great for ****ing evo drivers off (in a strait line)
