The Escort's got more space in the engine bay. KE-Jet is good for 200+ hp. But then you should go for a DTA or something else...

Escort has the T3 to start with, more potential, plus it only really needs a cam, chip -31 and a good intercooler for around 180bhp, frst needs a chip,beige injectors, -31, cam, cooler. . ERST i'd say.

WAS THINK OF PUTTING T3 ON A FIESTA THEN CHIP ECT,IF I GOT ANOTHER RST I WOULD NEED TO GO COSSIE MANAGMENT ROUTE,WAS JUST THINKING WOULD BE A BIT EASIER/RELIABLE TO GET A FIESTA AS IT ALREADY RUNNING EFI SO CAN CHANGE INJECTORS ECT THANX

I've got both a Fiesta and an Escort and I foiund it a lot easier to get power from the Escort. The Fiesta is geeting there but it's so far proving an expensive game

Yeh same as the s2 is cheap power, took a chipped ecu £40 of ebay and -31 that was in the garage and it pulls 180bhp

My car EFI has cost me a small fortune
