Turbo technics did a twin turbo kit for the 2.9 and it gave it 340 horses. 

Lol,just done the heads on a Brooklyns 280 Capri that has the Turbo technics conversion on it,its bloody scary when it comes on boost(and a normal Capri is scary enough)

A standard 1.6 crossflow was more than enough for that chassis.

A standard 1.3 crossflow was more than enough for that chassis.

Fixed

A mate of mine had one God it was gutless

I really liked the Frog-Faced Scorpio. I know TG slated it. but their opinion (although amusing) doesn't mean anything to me. was as loaded with goodies as the mig as far as I know

[albitz]

Probably not a bad car to drive,as you were sat inside it and couldn't see what it looked like.

Dad had an Ash Black R reg 2.3 Ultima estate for a spell. The seats were nicer than the earlier ones, but the dash was hideous, and quite cluttered compared to the Granada  he was about to get the body work done when the heater matrix burst over his leg on the A11. On those it really is a dash out job, the guesstimate for fixing it was near twice the body work one, so he scrapped it

Fixed that for you.  The scorpio and the ghia had a real heated screen too.

A mate of mine has a couple of Ultima V6s. Both of them have the wiring loom to the auto box running down the Vee of the engine and over the top of the gearbox. On both of them, the insulation in this section of loom has crumbled away. Engine+box out and lots of soldering to graft in a replacement section of loom.

I had 2 Granadas, loved them both, also had the frog eyed Scorpio 2.9 Cosworth . That car could shift!!

[martin42]

I had 2 granada's,a 2.8 scorpio with the full rs factory bodykit,and a 2.8 4x4 scorpio.

[05omegav6]

Having had an XR4x4, I always fancied a 4x4 Granada, but never got around to it

[martin42]

I found the xr4x4 more economical than the 4x4 scorpio,still managed to have them both sideways at times 

[05omegav6]

The XR4x4 was a tail happy as an over excited spaniel when booted out of greasy side roads

The Granadas were as easy to slide wgen provoked, but a bit wallowy the notable exception being the Cosworth, which had much better body control

Had mine lasted more than 3 months I would have swapped the slush box for the 4x4 running gear...

195bhp and four wheel drive
