hey people,
i have an escort GTi and have put 2.0L mondeo cams, throttle body, MAF sensor and ECU on it, i was looking at getting a bluefin for it but not sure what sort of gains i would get? and if they're worth the money? any advice much appreciated

cheers

hi mate, seems your going to a lot of effort with not much gains imo, what sort of power you after? are you on a tight budget?

Stoogey

not really on a budget, but will be putting weber 45s carbs on it soon but this is just for the moment my mate is running them on a race spec 2.0 zetec and got 192bhp on the rollers just trying to get my engine to the 2.0l spec before i get them, wanted to know what superchip would help me out?

Raj_FRST

that is what i was going to suggest.lol cams and carbs get 190bp all day long, as for the chip I really would'nt bother mate, I would saveour money untill you are ready to fit the carbs, unless its a turbo car the gains from the chip alone just arny worth it imo.

Why not go one better than your mate and get a set of throttle bodies? I have a contact who can supply some jenvey bodies, manifoldand fully mappable managment at a great price

200+bhp any one??? lol

you say a great price? well i can get the webers management jets literally plug and play kit off my mate for a £1000 if its round there im game lol

Raj_FRST

cant beat that price but what does that include? for 1400+vat (normal price) the people who are doing my engine management can provide the following:

Jenvey Throttle Bodies
Manifold
Trumpets
Throttle Linkage
Fuel Rail
Injectors
Fully Terminated loom so it is plug and play
Throttle positin sensor
Air temperature sensor
Fully mappable ecu engine management

I think the price also includes them fully mapping it but I would have to check, im pretty sure I could arrange a good discount on this. Pelase remember though that these parts are all brand new and come with the usual warranties.

Hope this helps mate, me and my brother are building a mk1 with a 2ltr cos cast vauxhall init, we were going down the carb route but have now changed our minds for the throttle bodies after seeing them in action on a escort mk2, never heard anything like it!!! sounds like the hulk toking on a 10ft spliff!!lol

Stoogey

Must admit thats a good deal is that fitted aswell? I'm not looking to do it until end of september time but it is good to know send me pm with more details if you could, thanks everyone for the input

how hard was it 2 find a 2.0l ecu for your escort gti? as i have just brought 2.0l mondeo silver top cams and pullys maf and throttle body and iv bin told 2 fit a 2.0l ecu or get a blue fin or dream science or something like that..

Whilst Jenvey are undoubtably excellent there are less expensive alternatives.
A race spec 2L zetec at 192bhp, I assume it is a very slow race then, that's hardly earth shattering, with EFI you will have vastly better driveability than 45's, and better mpg too, I ran 48 DHLA's with 42mm chokes on a celica RA 28, mpg was crippling despite being done on rollers, wish I'd had the money then to go efi.

definatly efi, so much more control.

Stoogey

in all fairness its 192bhp in a mk1 fiesta thats spec reaches as far as 2 seats and a steering wheel... so it flies!!!

seems like alot of work for not much gain what about running of megajolt and 45s?
