I have a Fiests rs turbo engine in the cab with a stage 2 t3,-31, piper t2 cam, biege injectors, 195 chip, cossie pump, scorpion system, induction filter and pace intercooler. What sort of BHP do you think i will make? I was hoping for 200 but i been told more like 180 what do u reckon?

 

should`nt be far off 200 mate with that spec.good luck on rollers

 

depends on conditon of the engine,get yourself a vernier pulley to squeeze the last few bhp out

 

If they engine is healthy then around 200bhp i would think.

 

Live mapped I think it would make 200bhp, but on a chip, I don't think it will make more than 180-185bhp.

 

it could be me being stupid but would a 195 chip mean 195bhp is the most the chip willl run? like i said probs me being stupid.

 

No, it means that 195bhp is the 'estimated' power you'd get by fitting that chip. However, we all now know that this won't happen.

 

estimated!! more like pick a number out of a hat!lol thanks for putting me straight.

 

on that spec I reckon 170 -190, I doubt it would make 200bhp, I do however think that if you ditched the injectors and fit a larger cooler you would breach the 200bhp with a live map. Mine had similar spec and made 180 but this was without a cam

post up what results you get

 

How do i live map my car and how much does this cost? I want 200 bhp!

 

very few people can live map or write maps for the EFI management used with fiesta turbo lumps only people who spring to mind are Stu at MSD and Amhed at Grove.
These would be the people to ask but I expect your talking 300 quid upwards.

I would not focus on 200 bhp as im a great believer that many of these so called 200 bhp cars do not actually make that power. 180-190 bhp makes for a very quick and enjoyable car.

 

Yup I agree!

 

ive seen cars with less spec make 200,but it depends on whos rollers,ive heard sum are generous.

 

I've seen my car vary as much as 30bhp on different rollers with the same spec. This along with the fact that when my car was doing 170bhp I could quite easily keep up with most so called 200bhp cars.

I simply think 200 BHP is the magic number for RS Turbo owners, the same way that 500 BHP is the magic number for Cossie owners, its amazing how everyone and their grandmother has cars with this sort of power on a mass produced performance chip but for some reason they usually have issues on rolling road shoot outs in magazines

If you car can do 200 bhp it should do it anywhere not just specific rollers imho

 

Decent enough spec, but the intercooler lets it down....i presume its one of the direct fit interwarmers that sit alongside the rad. Personally i don't rate them for much more than standard on and RS Turbo.

 

Yeah it has the double cap. pace cooler/warmer on it at the mo but hopefully buy a front mount on payday. So whats next on the list of engine mods to get more power? suppose its after market ecu and upgraded internals? Is it worth getting a stage 3 power engineering big valve head?
