Title: Thought I'd treat myself.. Lol
Post by: mk3.owner on 22 March 2012, 16:43
Today upon my travel's I stumbled across an engine which I was told was a 2.0 8v Turbo. After alot of heart ache, A cut finger and hardly anything out of my pocket  I go the engine home and re searched the engine number which is 96BM-6015-AD.

To my surprise it came back as a 1.3 8v turbo. Quite a few part's on the engine are stamped with 'Prism Motorsport'.

Well here is a few picture's and if anyone could give me ANY information on these engine's or 'Prism Motorsport' it would be much appreciated.

P.S The engine is from a Ford

 :shocked: How do you know that sort of sh!t?!

So are you pleased with it not being the engine you thought it was?

Inlet manifold, oil filler, ICV, and cam cover.

Deffo looks like a 1.3 ford endura engine found in fiestas/Ka's etc. Doubt you would see more than 120bhp out it though without it blowing up. Would be different though in a mk1 fiesta but you would prob better off with a CVH or a zetec for a quarter of the price it would be to get that endura engine running similar power. Prism motorsport are online so give them a shout they might give you some details on it.

If I'm honest I'm really surprised that It isn't a 2.0. Just looking at the size of the thing and also the weight you would think it is the 2.0 as first believed. My Mk3 Golf GTI 8v engine wasn't as heavy as that and it was a 2 liter  :shocked:

Think there is a lot more steel in that as the mk3 has an aluminium head and various other alloy brackets etc. Stick it on ebay and see what sort of interest is in it.
