Thought I'd treat myself.. Lol
« 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

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

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.
