Hey,

my first question here and i hope i can get some Help. I have a complete brandnew Piper Blueprint Camshaft kit for Escort mk3 Xr3 Carb Engine. Does That Camshaft fit my RS Turbo Engine as well? I don´t know if there are any differences between the 1,6 Carb and the Rst Camshafts. Cause if it won´t fit, i´ll sell it. Thank you Guys

It will fit yer. won't be anywhere near a good profile to use tho

Eric_Cartman

Hm, what does that mean? It fits, but dont work well?

mgtkr1

yes, turbo cvh's are physically the same but make there power in a totally different way. it could work way worse than a std turbo cam. turbo cams work very well as standard

Eric_Cartman

Ok, thanks Guys. Then i´ll better sell it. Any other Ideas for a Bit more Power without paying too much?

mgtkr1

is the car standard?

Eric_Cartman

Yes, nothing done with it

mgtkr1

decent intercooler, stage 2 turbo at a bar of boost with a setup from a guru and a chipped ecu will perp it up a bit. nice and punchy aswell as reliableat that

Eric_Cartman

So nothing to do with the Engine? Like other Head Gasket? I was Thinkin of a Boost Controller, just to raise the Turbo Pressure a bit. Maybe to 0,7-0,8 Bar. Can i do that without doing something else?

I don't know about carb 1.6 cams but all injection 1.6 cams are the same profile.

Stage 2 turbo is overkill for what's mentioned.

An Airtec intercooler, fitted with a chipped ECU, Turbo back exhuast And air filter in either box or a cone, and a Stage 1 turbo(if you really want to spend solid money). There will be some lag but for the boost you plan is quite fine.

A stage 1 turbo is good for at least 1.4 bar of boost which is more than enough for an old Escort. I'm running 1.2 bar and that is plenty for me. To much boost and power will result in you requiring deep pockets for rebuilds and repairs.

Eric_Cartman

Sounds good. But where can i get an chipped ECU? It´s really hard to get Rst Parts here in Germany. Can i run 0,8 Bar without changing the Head Gasket or something?

I have an unlimited chipped ecu if you want to make an offer?

Eric_Cartman

What are you askin for it?

Just to point out you will need the fuelling (full load mixture) set and the ignition timing adjusted if you make any increase in boost at all.
Standard Ford (Payen) head gasket is good for over 300bhp.

Escort RST had the same camshaft as XR3i MFI (105 PS K-Jetronic). Don't think there was much difference to the carb camshaft.

Eric_Cartman

The Camshaft is already sold. Looking now for some other Tricks to get a bit more Power without spending loads of Money. Thanks for your Help Guys

XR2

When you want to keep MFI:

1. Invest some money in a set of new injectors
2. Give Suhe a call, might be the last place in Germany for tuning an ERST.

Don't spend silly money on sports or rally camshafts. Your engine will benefit more from more boost and a chip.

Eric_Cartman

i have already contacted Suhe, they offer me a Chiptuning for 380 Euro. But what´s the difference between the Suhe chip and the chipped ecus you get to run on more boost? The chipped ecus you get are loads cheeper than the Suhe one. or is it the same? So all i need is a chipped ecu that fits my car, and with that i can rise the boost? I don´t want to spend 380 Euro if not necessary.

XR2

Suhe will apply the chip, put the car on the rollers and will test several maps. The one that fits your engine best will be programmed. That's why it costs a little bit more.

Eric_Cartman

okay, but the chip itself is the same? then i better buy an used one with the same color markings, and rise the boost. should work?

luxembourgrst

for you little more power you want the most simply and cheapest is to buy a ecu who is already chipped to allow more boost pressure without cutting the ignition
