This is the spec,

rebuild bottom end
standard head and cam
Standard mfi no 5th injector etc
stage2 turbo
Pace front mount
chip
exhaust and filter

 

Std new cam/tappets?

I reckon circa 170bhp @13psi

 

around 185bhp.

 

190 i recon

 

...is it Heinz

 

Bosch-Man

Branston only the finest

vroooom ptssssh

Original cam tappets etc

The lad recons he's got 200bhp at the mo, with chip exhaust and filter. He recons with the addition of a stg2 turbo and a pace front mount it will be 250bhp

 

uhuh,250bhp?????

 

170 - 180

 

A very good stg1 engine/setup is 180bhp

rebuild bottom end
stage2 turbo
Pace front mount
chip
exhaust and filter

Thats all really stg1 stuff & an old cam..barring the Stg2 turbo..but it's only running at around 14psi, (any more and the pace interwarmer wont be much use, they are not much better than std)

The filter will be drawing in hot air....so i'd stick by my guess of 170@fly/ 140@wheels.

 

A mate of mines car with brand new ford engine forge double capacity intercooler exhaust anf filter made 204bhp but that was fast as fuck back in the day

I tried advising him on a few things but its hard telling people when your new to a site and no one knows that your pretty clued up on certiain things. My speciality is rusty old shonky fords

 

vroooom ptssssh

ps it running 16psi for its 200bhp

 

whos is that mark?

you scared it will do the teg in pmsl

 

Well,It'll defo make 132bhp





na, I'd say 170/180

 

Probably piss on your Escos by the sounds of it...

 

185 bhp for me

 

should be around 180-190bhp my old s2 made 188bhp and 198lbs of torque with a filter, chip, exhaust and pace cooler running 17psi

 

ye mine had the same spec but with a grs cooler, it made 194 bhp runnin 18psi but my engine was in mint condition.

he ll only achieve 250 bhp in his dreams, some people do talk bollox

 

what should a stg1 car do with exhaust and filter, and std cooler @16psi?

 

boXXer, At 16psi on a standard cooler the ACT temps will be off the scale, 14PSI the cooler is on its maximum cooling limits and not many people set them to run 14psi on std cooler, at max i'd run it at 13psi, i'd guess at an exhaust (filter...wouldnt use a cone, again raises ACT temps) a chip (cant run over 10psi without one) and a -31 and 13psi - 160@fly roughly?

figures seem to be exagerated south of the Scottish border for some reason?

 

Dicko&Sarah

Fuck you

plynchy

And fuck you

 

Defo no more than 170! engine old!!!!

 

TrevCannon, It has a rebuild bottom end, but its not had a head rebuild app.

 

Alps Pacino

Thats a lot of fucks for a Sunday night mate

My old S1 RST (years ago) got stg 1 chipped, std filter and exhaust and had a print out for 185 BHP, went like fuck, and lost Ł100 on it when I sold it after a year, bloody nice car that.

 

I've got a 2wd cooler if you want Mike..?!

 

so have i! Where the hell would you fit it though?

 

Hiya mate. Thanks for that.

BTW, what would you call a "high" ACT temp? as i have a gauge coming off the plenum.

 

Make it fit and get a reversed charge carrier..

 

you got me thinking now. Where would it go exactly? might start a post about it.

 

MJC has fitted a 4x4 cossie cooler, So I would think that a 2wd one would be pretty much the same..


Here's a link I just dug out

any more than 50 degrees is getting into high territory

 

Pace cooler's good for 190 odd horses max, to get past the 200 barrier he'll either need a chargecooler or go big front mounted really. Mine run's 18 psi on a pace chargecooler and made 190 horses, but that's due to the engine on just under 140k with no rebuild

 

What exactly is the purpose of a -31?, does it just help hold higher boost levels and avoid any possible spikes ?

 

why is everyone talking about it NOT having a front mount,it clearly states at top that its got a front mount pace,which ive heard are as good as grs and the like
with they mods,power is always dependant on condition of parts,timing,boost and a shit load of other things but could see upto 190-200@fly with 18psi or could be as low as 160@fly on around 13psi,stumbling block is always the metering head,that will decide on how much boost you can run,ive seen ones being sucked dry at 11psi

 

i reckon 180-190.louisexxx

 

right, mine runs 160hp @ 13psi, so i take it thats about right? So, in theory, i should get 180 hp @ 16psi? As mine runs about 55 degrees ACT temp when on full throttle @ 16psi @ 5k.

Cheers
Mike

 

Good point, actually I just assumed it was the pace large capacity cooler.

Then again, look at the green shed..265@the wheels on MFI


boXXer, I'd say no, not just by turning the boost up...with a better IC/setup/bit more boost yes. 55 degree's is a bit hot already?

 

the green shed had a modified metering head just like mine and was running 2 pumps,i know mines ran out of fuel at 195@wheels,which is supposed to be quite decent for this,ive also seen my mate swhich ran out of fuel at 160@wheels and one at 120@wheels,its a hit or miss with the MH's
