7.5" Scorpio Diesel 3.36.1 Diff with 150nm 'reworked' standard LSD

Where did you rework the diff? Any contacts and price that you can share?
Here in Sweden it's not that easy to find a Ford LSD rebuild, so it would help us to know any UK firm that you can recommend.

I got mine done by CTS..... Competition Transmission Services in Luton here in England, they can sort the LSD's and can offer different poundage on the units. Mine was done 5 yrs ago and from memory cost me £150 to sort. Best thing is to contact them and ask

I´ts a pity. You will gain 100bhp on that engine with ethanol

Really...... Wouldnt know where to start looking

It´s like racingfuel but cheaper. Here in sweden vi name it E85 and it has 85% ethanol and the rest is regulal gasoline. Smells god and perfekt for engines with high compression and turbo

In other words, 85% alcohol and 15% petrol.

I finally put the car on the road in March this year and so far its been ok..... Have shattered a cv joint and found out that the gearbox mount is utter shit so need to sort that. Apart from that it's been fun I am going to tighten the rear end a little more as it tends to hop on hard acceleration as tyre tyres loose grip and i am going to change the front suspension for a cossie 2wd setup to try and get a better geometery setting. I have noticed that the engine breathes a bit from the oil catch tank, you can smell it when at a standstill. Im wondering if its the piston rings...... Will do a compression test and see what happens.

Have a few up to date pics

Cool car you've got here, i hoping you can help, did you use a BOA loom and ecu on your engine? if so can you help me out

Before i turbo'd it i was using a BOA loom and ecu, but now im on an emerald ecu but i still use most of the original loom

Today there is really good BOB-plugs or even PnP boxes with the 60-pin ford plug. Just plug it in your existing loom and turn the key. If you have a turbo, its easy to just change fuel and ignition to get it to work.

BOB-plug. (as in Break Out Board)

Works great for all Fords with the 60-pin plug.
Converted my Scorpio Cosworth BOA to manual MT-75, full flow exhaust, open air filter and run it on Ethanol with the BOA-plug and a MS2. 0-60 went in 6.7sec and quarter mile in 14.81@153km/h.

Did you do the conversion to use the loom? im told its not hard but im struggling to find the diagram to help me out! or is anyone willing to make up a loom which i could just plug everything into and BOA ecu and it will fire ur my engine!
