The spec of my s2 as it stands is:

k&n cone filter

magnex, goose combi exhaust

-31 and chip

Last owner had it r/r at 160 bhp

Ive just got myself a polished head with a kent cvh 35 and vernier, next on the list is a stage 2 t3 and a lfm ic, all going on at the same time!

Just wondering what head gasket to use, is the standard ford one up to the job? Hoping to run 14 - 16 psi on standard 78k bottom end.

And what bhp do you think it'll push? Wanting about 200 bhp.

All helps appreciated

 

use a genuine Ford head gasket it's more than capable of that spec

 

yeh the standard headgasket are pretty good...i ran 17psi for ages on my old engine and its never blown!

but would be interesting to see what headgaskets people recommend!

 

Yes mate standard headgasket, but i would also say a front mount intercooler needed aswell

 

genuine Ford head gasket is the only one to use

 

As above genuince Ford. My 3 month old Felpro poo'd itself mid tear up with a Boxster. The genuine Ford one has been sweet for about 18months now and I've not really been gentle with it

 

quality, cheers lads

do you reckon that specs good enough for 200 bhp with a decent setup?

or is there anything else i should think about adding? maybe a 5th injector?

 

swap the backbox for a goose or magnex if it's scorpion

 

its a magnex exhaust system with the flexi section and im pretty positive it has a goose box
