and its got my wheels on it, we need pictures. the only pictures i can get im my mind are rude.
Posted By: scoop Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 29th Nov 2005 6:18pm
Thats it standard.thats a snazzy standard look. Ive never seen a car like it. RS2000 bulges in the bonnet, mk6 rubstrips. What a car.Best mk5b ever Next you'll be tellin me it has the 130PS engine. Which would make your loss to me in a race all the more embarrasing lol (gloating..but im allowed..i beat a bigger engined car)

And the night i saw it at the cat i never noticed those bonnet bulges (strange because i could see ur bonnet IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR) tease raftl raftl

Once its lowered that will look swish,swisher cos its already pretty damn mean.Wheels suit it well,Remember. 2.0MAF off a mondie and 2.0 Throttle body too. Will give u more horses,guaranteed

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

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
Posted By: sted Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 30th Jan 2006 4:15pm
ya its all lowered now and i am plannin to sort out to engine and do wat i can to increase the power any help off people( dazza/rob gti)
would be great
Posted By: sted Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:36pm
anyone
Posted By: Dazza Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:40pm
2.0 mate or a replacment 1.8?
Depending on your choice, I may be able to help
Posted By: scoop Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:42pm
is the engine healthy ATM?
Posted By: sted Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:45pm
well i get the car back on thursday after havin all the sensor replaced which caused the bad result on rollin road
then goin to try sort out some more power just dont know how to go about it if u get me not really after putiin a 2.0 in at mo but that will be in the future
Posted By: scoop Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:48pm
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??
Posted By: Dazza Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:48pm
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 £)
Posted By: sted Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:57pm
were is beat place to get these parts and how much ££££
Posted By: Dazza Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 2:59pm
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)
Posted By: scoop Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 3:03pm
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
Posted By: sted Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 3:06pm
ok so wat is it exactly i need
maf etc and how hard are they to fit
Posted By: Dazza Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 3:08pm
Sted you'd need to take them to a garage (Cams at least). The MAF and TB are easy, as is the ECU
Posted By: scoop Re: Sted : Ford Escort 1.8 si - 28th Feb 2006 3:19pm
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
