How do,

Just got one of these engines from an early Puma in my otherwise standard Mk4 Fiesta (bit of an on going project).

I would look to see more power from it and I was wondering if you guys could refer me to tuning guides/articles etc. and to any examples of this engine gaining significant power.

Thanks kindly for any answers.

Anybody?

 

There is nearly nothing available off the shelf that will give you big power gains.

Atmo - fit throttle bodies and a decent management system, big valve head (http://www.cncheads.co.uk/ford_puma.html), 4-2-1 manfiold, cams etc should see around 180-190+ BHP.

Turbo - I'm running around IRO 270 BHP at the moment from my 1.7, but it is a complete one off developed by myself for sprinting.

Budget depends on how much of the work you can do yourself and how much you have to ship out to 3rd parties. IME its best stick to as few as possible though.

You could do worse than speaking to Shawspeed, BJP or Aldons.

Swindon Racing engines will sell you parts for a 2 litre engine based on the 1.7 block... don't expect change from less than Ł20K though...

 

I'm not really an engine tuner so it will need to be done by companys - what sort of management would you recommend and how much is that going to set me back lol
