hi guys what ps or bhp is the escort 1.8 si and gti. thanks

[matty872]

115 ps which is about 113bhp

[Oranoco]

113.4bhp if we're being picky

No mechanical difference between the Si and the GTi. The GTi gets posh half leather seats and some additional bumper spats

oh i was just wondering what the difference is between my xr2i 1.8 105ps and the escort si and gti same engines but what makes the power difference the ecu or bigger throttle body and cams. the reason i ask is caus i want a superchip and there are some about for the escorts. thanks

[josh1800]

dont no about the chip but i put a 2 ltr throttle body and a MAF sensor on my 2I last weekend, got 2ltr cams and ECU to go it in aswell and a 4 branch manifold which will hopefully give more power than a £280 chip by itself, i already felt a difference with the thrittle body

[hartyfezzy]

yeh i thinking bout doing that. i thought if you changed the throttlebody and maf it wouldnt make a difference without the 130ps ecu. thanks

[josh1800]

no, it does make a difference, the inside diameter is alot bigger and mine still runs fine on the standard ECU im gonna put the 2ltr ECU in when i change the cams, hopefully next weekend, will let u no any difference if u like!!! ive got a full scorpion system on mine aswell!!!

[hartyfezzy]

yeh let me no how you got on mate.

[Oranoco]

Does make a difference. It's not Earth shattering but it does improve things. We recently fitted a 115PS throttle body to a 105PS XR2i and there is a deffinate improvemnt to things

[hartyfezzy]

looks like i will be hunting for a bargin throttlebodie and maf then till i get my ecu and cams. do i need to modify the 2.0 throttlebodies at all caus i thought you had to to fit them to the 1.6 si. thanks

[Oranoco]

On the 1.6Si mate don't bother. I'm afraid that old nail is not a tunable lump and you won't gain anything from adding bits even if you throw a fortune at it.

Sorry fella

[hartyfezzy]

no i have got the 105ps 1.8 zetec i just wonered it the 2.0 thottlebody went straight on or not thanks

[Oranoco]

Sorry fella you mentioned teh 1.6Si so I thought that was what you had. If you have the 1.8 Zetec then get it on there it bolts straight up. You may need to modify the throttle cable bracket a smidge as we did with the 115PS throttle body

[hartyfezzy]

ah yeh thats what i thought you have to file something down dont you? will i be able to do this my self? thanks

[Oranoco]

On the 115PS TB we took a dremel out to get the mounting hole to line up with the slot and then used a washer on the back of the bolt to hold the bracket
