Title: Scorpio 24V TT 4x4 manual
Post by howiedintheplace on Mar 14^th, 2007, 1:04am

One of three things get asked alot on here.

1. How can I get my 24V to go faster ;D

2. Can a 24V be converted to manual ???

3. Can a Scorpio run 4x4 }{

Well there is a car that answers yes to all three.

A 24V twin turbo, manual 4x4 P reg Scorpio Estate.

Actually this car has been around ages, since 1998 infact, yes the car was almost new when converted.
Still driven daily.

The keen eyed of you will notice it uses the Mk3 Granada 24V engine.
That's because it's easier to convert ;D

4x4 was a nightmare, front suspension is all custom made.

Enjoy ;)

I thought you would like it ;D

It makes about 350bhp.
Uses Sierra 4x4 running gear.
The front suspension had to be re-designed so it would fit.
Conversion was done with less than 10000 miles on the clock & now it's only done 24,000 miles :o

Uses the STD ECU for the speedo & PATS.
The engine actually runs off it's own after market ECU.

Lives around the Northampton area.

The guy uses it as his daily work car.

One of his other cars has this in

Okay Dave is this your handy work?
If so cards on the table, how much will it cost me for a waggly stick and a couple of turbos on my 24v :D

No it is a conversion that has been around for the Scorpio for years.
Turbo Technics was in the process of marketing this car as a super car in 1997.
It will out pace most high performance cars even today.

But that part of the business cheased trading & this is the only car done for a customer.

I am fairly sure they still have the jigs for the 4x4 cross member & can defo build you a engine of the same or better spec.

You would have to talk to them say Dave Howard sent yeah ;D

The owner of TT purchased this car back from the customer & runs it himself as a work car.

The other engine is again a 24V Cosworth but is modied even more to produce 530 bhp on 1 bar of boost by turbo technics.

There is another conversion too soon.

What about a 4.0L 24V BOB ;D

Good for 300bhp & mega torque.

Tobbe on here has almost done it now.
I showed him the basics on how to do it & he has perfected it ;) Good job to.

Come on Tobbe show them a picture 8)
