Doesn't always give you much of a gain. These type of modds require a decent chip or remapped ECU to set the car up properly. Will be cheaper in the long run to get a 2ltr lump out of a mondeo. 136bhp from a standard pefectly set up zetec engine with more torque than you'd get from a moddified 1.8 [/b]
Rob save ya breath mate Iv told him a thousand times, of all people I should know but I guess 1st hand experiance isnt enough for him.

lowered now eh? looks better.

Did i say DO NOT GET A 2.0?? no,i said get the 130 spec parts and u will see more power,thats alleven if its only a couple of BHP itll cost u 20 quid from a scrappy,and id rather spend 20 quid on 130 parts than over 3 times that on a 57i which will more than likely see u less BHP than u started with.

A 2.0 is better,no doubt,but some people are happy with the 1.8s power,especially the 130 spec 1.8

with the car being of the right age (ECU is not the immobiliser unit also) that means u cud slap in an XR3 ECU,and the 130 spec stuff and genuinely get a 25BHP gain,then go zorst,filter,see how u like it then??

If your not after a 2.0 then I suggest scoops aproach, 130spec parts (MAF, TB, ECU, Cams) other than this your looking at spending money with no real upgrade (In terms of bhp per £)

Budget £100ish mate, and I suggest a Ford forum or the local scrappy (Altho a scrappy might not give you them as it leaves the engine incomplete and non-sellable)

Ford forums mate,the likes of www.escortevolution.com/forums and www.ford-force.com

About 100 pound is right,the cams MAF housing and TB can be from a 2.0 mondie zetec,but it has to be an XR3130 ECU,i think the MAF sensor may have to be 130 spec,if it differs from the 2.0 is voltages,i know u always want the correct MAF sensor for the ECU tho

Sted you'd need to take them to a garage (Cams at least). The MAF and TB are easy, as is the ECU

unless ur great with cambelts matey we cant do them on the drive,cos ive never done a cambelt myself,altho i know what to do and where to do it,if we mess up slightly u WILL ruin the engine.MAF is just 2 jubilees,TB is about 4 stardrives and 1 jubilee,and ECU is just a wiring plug removal,it may be rivetted to the wall of the car but thats nothin a drill wont beat
