Modding my fiesta and i was hoping if you could answer a couple of questions

The plans ive got for the engine include:
Cam
Chip
Exhaust
De-Cat Pipe
Induction Kit
2 ltr Throttle Body.

Firstly i was wondering what sort of BHP ill be pushing and is there anything you feel would be a good idea to give me plenty of power.

cheers everyone

Throttle bodies or/and turbo are the best ways to extract power out of the 16 valves and will give the most bhp..

[timb551]

Is the best one to go for the 2ltr one of the mondeo, any guess on bhp?

I think Geoff means throttle bodies such as Alpha or Weber kits, which will set you back about £1500 for a full normally aspirated kit. It's not a hard job to turbo a throttle bodied engine, but you'll probably need a bigger fuel tank

With that little lot i would imagine u would be pushing out about rs1800 power 130ish bhp.

[timb551]

Doh, i hoped it would be a bit more than that.

Well m8 those mods are basiclly what ford did to the 1.8 to get the RS1800's 130bhp in the first place

[Mexi]

im not 100% sure but i recon u would see about 145bhp with that little lot mate

[Excursion]

Based on a standard 1800 105ps

Cam - 10bhp for the first stage
Chip - 5bhp
Exhaust - nothing
De-Cat Pipe - 3bhp
Induction Kit - runs better without one, or use panel filter
2 ltr Throttle Body. - 3/4 bhp

A 1.8 on Weber Alpha TB's produces 155 BHP according to Webcon.
And a 2.0 will kick out 165 BHP.

Some hot cams, and a decent zorst, and you'll be up to 180 BHP if you're willing to really rev it!!!

Thats the theory anyway...

really depends on the state of your engine.
