Where to go for more power???

Postby a11ova on Mon Feb 06, 2006 1:18 am

Rightt then people after a bit of advice. Now i know how to fettle with the mfi cvh engine but a bit unsure on the efi front. My fezzy t is currently sporting a full stainless system (scorpion), Superchip, FSE Boost Valve, K&N Filter. Do i need to upgrade the injectors and if so to what colour? How much boost should i ideally be running? The bottom end was re-built 4000 miles ago with accrilite low comp pistons. In my old escort i was able to run a safe 15psi with the standard intercooler. Is this the case with the fez runin a smaller turbo? cheers for the advice all

Your intercooler will be the single most restricting factor.

You can start by fitting up a set of beige injectors (701's) and a 195 chip. This will allow 16psi but the stock intercooler will be struggling, it's also advisable to change the fuel pump at this point as well.

If you decide to change the cam go for either a Kent CVH34-35 or a Newman. Do not put a Piper 285T2 in as it's rubbish

If your running a std T2 turbo, i wouldnt go pushing up to 15psi. Have it running at about 12psi for reliability.

T3 turbo is a damn good idea as well as the T2 is kinda wimpy and runs out of puff at the top end as the engine consumes more air than the turbo can compress
